[quote name='Dead Man' timestamp='1330006955' post='1551295'] Did you ever sell this? [/quote] Nope, kind of forgotten about it. Got it in London now, so will give it another bash.

This is now SOLD

[quote name='geoffbassist' timestamp='1334514610' post='1617105'] Great rig/price. I used to play this set up and it's great for double bass. I even did a few loud bass guitar gigs with it, no problems. [/quote] Thanks for the praise Geoff. I'll add that I used the rig for gigs which involved switching between electric and a Palatino electric upright. Very versatile.

[b]Gallien Krueger MB150E Microbass Combo with matching 112MBX extension cabinet + footswitch and speaker cable[/b] [b]£500 collected from central London or plus delivery costs if required.[/b] [b][attachment=105191:DSC01557.jpg] [attachment=105192:DSC01558.jpg][/b] This is an awesome portable little rig. Great sounding, packed with features and portable. Adding the extension cab makes a[b] [u]huge difference[/u][/b] and increases the headroom enough to make this loud enough to deliver any stage volume I’d require a reasonably sized venue (although it may not be for you if your guitarist is exceptionally loud or play large-ish venues with no PA). To the best of my knowledge this is a series I. Superficially the amp appears identical to the current model other than a slightly redesigned face-plate. I believe the series 3 (i.e. the newest model) differs internally and runs slightly cooler. The footswitch is also included which switches the boost and chorus features in and out. I wont bother listing all the various tech specs here for fear of boring you - manual is available here which is much more comprehensive than anything I can write. [url="http://www.bassemporium.com/pdfs/gkmicrobass.pdf"]http://www.bassempor...gkmicrobass.pdf[/url] Like all GK gear it’s built like a tank and has served me well being 100% reliable. It is in what I would consider to be good condition given the amount of use it has had, and like any well used piece of gear shows some wear. 
I'm reluctantly selling this great rig as I've just picked up a new Aguilar Tonehammer 500 and Barefaced cab and can't justify keeping the GK as well and [b]don't have the space - hence no trades please![/b] I don't want to split the rig as I don't want to end up with half of a complete rig which won't be a great deal of use to me. Happy to answer any questions or arrange for potential buyers to come around for a try. I'm in central London E1, with easy parking and easily accessible by tube.

[b][u][u][b]***SOLD*** SWR Working Pro 1x15 including padded cover In close to as new condition[/b][/u][/u][/b] Great value for money 1x15" cab from SWR. Superb for rehearsal use, not to big to transport about and easily loud enough for to gig. Sounds great on its own and works really well with a 2x10" or as an extension cab for a combo. I've done all three. I've kept this cab for occasional rehearsal use and otherwise the cover has been on it. As a result it is in [b]close to as-new[/b] condition. The covering has no bobbling at all and the only signs of any use are a few small marks on the plastic corners where a rack has been sat on it. [b]Here's the spec:[/b] 200 watts 1x15" speaker Piezo tweeter w/attenuator Speakon and ¼" speaker jacks Side handles Chrome-powdercoated shock-mounted grill Impedance: 8 ohms I am based in East London E1 with easy parking and really close to public transport.

[quote name='BassBod' post='759777' date='Feb 28 2010, 02:17 PM']I'm very surprised this is still here. I've recently "acquired" two very nice basses - a Sadowsky and a Stingray, but I'd still be tempted.....[/quote] My Sadowsky is due shortly. What model did you get? If you're around town at any point soon I'd love to get a peek of it.

[quote name='karlthebassist' post='756336' date='Feb 24 2010, 06:43 PM']That looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO nice.[/quote] Yep it's a great bass.

Thanks for all the positive replies. It's gotta be cash I'm afraid Jack. If it weren't for our a new Sadowsky and an awful exchange rate, I wouldn't be selling it. Bassbod (I wont reveal his real name!) is spot on with the neck. It's definitely chunky compared to a Jazz Bass, but super comfortable and I'm a small handed chap. I find it quite similar to a late 50s style P Bass and is not too far off a Stringray. Ben

***THIS BASS IS NOW SOLD*** Absolutely stunning Bravewood precision bass which unfortunately has to go as I have a new Sadowsky on the way and the exchange rate is killing me. Lightweight body, one piece maple neck all finished in Nitro cellulose Olympic White. Unlike most Bravewood basses this has a factory fitted Badass II bridge and Seymour Duncan Basslines 'Quarter Pound' pickup. Although not strictly 'vintage' I think the bass is all the better for it. Photos of the bass as it appeared new are still on the Bravewood site. [url="http://www.bravewoodguitars.co.uk/customercomments.html"]http://www.bravewoodguitars.co.uk/customercomments.html[/url] (go about 2 thirds down the page, Luke from Slough) and I believe the listing from when it was originally sold is still on the forum somewhere. You'll notice it originally had a black pick guard. I've since replaced this with an anodized guard as the Olympic White and Maple neck, give it that cool late 50s look. You could easily chnage it back, or I have a tortoise guard which I can switch to if you'd prefer. The bass was made in 10/10 condition and is starting to show some signs of genuine playing wear. A 'real' Bravewood relic, well 9/10 maybe! The finish is absolutely superb, one of the best I've seen on a Fender style bass, and the build quality is superb. The neck has a lovely subtle flame. This is leagues ahead of any of the Fender custom shop basses or alternatives such as Nash who simply assemble Fender licensed parts. This is a custom built instrument through and through. I'd been looking in the region of £950 ono. I'm open to sensible offers on this. Happy to answer any questions

Got the 210 home and hooked it up to my SWR SM400S. Sounds amazing! Thanks. WOld also recommend the head to anyone who's interested. Sounded great when i tried out the cab.

Did this sell? If not please let me know

[quote name='RussFM' post='638770' date='Oct 28 2009, 08:56 AM']Thanks! I'm in West Brom Ben, just outside Birmingham. Would be happy to meet halfway if it suited you (Cheltenham/Tewkesbury?).[/quote] Thanks for letting me know. Just weighing up a few options right now, so I'll be in touch when I've had a proper think ...Using a 8x8 at the mo - new smaller cab/new smaller combo.. etc etc

I'd be interested in this. Where are you?
