Washburn AB35 Acoustic 5 string FS - NOW SOLD!
Nickytwister replied to pluckedout's topic in Basses For Sale
Killer bass - when I was in Ronan's band I needed to get an acoustic bass; I got it one of these and it was brilliant live with flats on. I've still got it and would hate to sell it. The B's tight as hell but you really need to play it sitting down or risk looking like you're in a Mariachi band. I lent it to Lee Pomeroy for a TT session at Maida Vale too (he played it upside down!!) and Jimmy Sims as a spare for his 4. Excellent. -
FS: Bag End S-15B bargain at £125
Nickytwister replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Chris! Cheers for the message today fella. The Sabre went long ago I'm afraid! Shame you're selling the Bag End; I've got my DB112s now but, strangely, miss the sound of the ol' dog. If it wasn't for the boiler, washing machine and motor all being in sickbay I would've probably bought it back. Still might in fact. I'll keep my eye on the thread! -
By the way, Neil uses a modded Fender Precision with Bartolini P and Humbucking pickups - Neil's own bass - for the whole show apart from a Sei fretless 4 for the start of 'Crazy Little Thing' (which you switch mid-way through back to a fretted bass!!) and a USA Fender P Deluxe 5 for 'I Want It All'. The fretless and the 5 are compulsary! Let us know how you get on.

I've done WWRY a bit. Make sure you do your homework and don't interpret the parts at all!!! Knowing the Queen songs will only really help so much; you need to know what the dots mean inside out. Best bass to use is a P Bass with a Hipshot. No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) is the toughest tune! Tony the drummer is a diamond; Neil's a great bloke too. It's loads of fun, massive pressure, but a nice thing to pop on your CV. Good luck!

John, they're both horned models - I'm not really a tweeter fan but a little bit's perfect. I won't be selling them though! Cheers Skej!

Hey guys, Just to let y'all know, last week I picked up a pair of used Chocolate Brown DB112s with covers from a good mate; I'm very pleased with them already! Thanks for all your help and advice. Happy New Year! Nick x

[quote name='therealting' post='1058021' date='Dec 13 2010, 11:24 PM']What's the rating on the cab now with the new drivers? Looks interesting... I'm in SE3.[/quote] Hey fella, It's the same, 600watts, 8 ohms. It has a touch more clarity than a standard cone in my opinion. Come and have a look! Nick -

[quote name='JimmySims' post='1047363' date='Dec 4 2010, 02:48 PM']Ok, so I'm thinking I need to get rid of my Ashdown rig. Its an ABM500RC and two mini 48 cabs. The cabs are flight cased in purple ABS cases, and have had the old blue speakers taken out and replaced with Ashdowns newer black lighter and more powerful speakers. What do you think? Anybody after that sort of thing? I'm not sure about a price yet... I understand that the flight cases will be worth hardly anything of the original price, but they are pretty good and in really good condition. Send me a message if you think you might be into it or any part of it. Jimmy Sims[/quote] Arf arf! I thought you had a gig with the Saturdays tonight; you should be busy at soundcheck (or are you??!!) N x

Accugroove Whappo jnr cab SOLD SUBJECT TO THE USUAL

Hi guys, Bag End sold to Beedster - just Ashdown left. Defo need to move these two compact cabs (the Aguilars on the way!); a 2004 Ashdown 4x8", originally 600w, 8ohm but now loaded with Sica Neo drivers and an old Bag End S 15B 1x15", again with a Sica Neo cone, 8ohm. Both cabs were made new with a natural wood finish (the Bag End had a new grille and corners fitted at Straightedge, who make Ashdown, Overrun etc ages ago) but have since been re-varnished and are well battle-scarred - with a real old skool vibe to them. The 4x8" tips the scales at about 20kg. I'm in SE9 - I'd rather buyer collects if anyone's interested but will also meet up in the London/M25 area if it helps. Ideally I'm looking for £125 for the 4X8" but I'll gladly haggle! Great for medium sized stages; I use an ABM500 or an AG500 with loads of effects and they take anything I throw at them. Together they have a strong mid-range presence; a good combination for rockier tones. As mentioned before the Bag End is a lovely cab for small stuff due to its round bottom end. Any questions let me know. Cheers! Nick - 07931 533408
