£800 price drop down to £3200!!! I might be interested in a partial trade with cash my way for something more portable. Will need to be in excellent condition and of a high calibur (Barefaced, Aguilar, PJB etc.) Not interested in Ashdown unfortunately. £3200 cash is much preferred. The head is the absolute flagship from Mesa, the retail on these was a shade over £3600. It has eight KT88 Mesa branded valves for power with two Mesa 12AX7 and one Mesa 12AT7 valves for the pre-amp. The volume is nothing short of disgusting. I once, for a brief moment, got it to half volume and I nearly died in the process, the room actually quaked, that is genuinely no exaggeration. Suffice to say that headroom is not an issue for the 465w this thing puts out. You can run the power section at low (125w), medium (250w) and high (465w) so you can still generate those awesome valve tones at low volume. The EQ section is basically the same as the Mesa 400+ amps with some tweaks to close those gaps in tunable frequency. There's a 5 way 'voice' dial for some very useable pre-sets and the graphic EQ is bypassable if you prefer. The cabs are both Mesa Vintage Powerhouse cabs, both 4x10 and both 600w. Each has a horn switch and one has a switch and horn attenuator. I have 2 absolutely top end speakon to jack cables I'll include too to run the rig at peak efficiency. Both cabs have Mesa trak-lok castors that means the cabs roll very easily and can be removed in seconds for secure stacking. This is a staggering rig, arguably the best rig that any amount of money could buy. The cabs each retailed at £1300 a piece so the full RRP would be in excess of £6200. Proper Mesa Boogie Covers for the cabs and head will be included. This rig is absolutely immaculate and may as well be new. Near 50% less than RRP and it is absolutely mint with a few hours of use. Essentially apart from it being in my house, it's new. This is probably the only time you'll be able to buy this rig in absolutely brand new condition. Shipping is almost entirely out of the picture as the full rig weights about 114kg (250lbs), though if you are willing to pay and organise this I will help to the very best of my ability to facilitate it. Collection is the best option. I am willing to drive to meet if that's preferred, this can be negotiated depending on the time and distance involved. So that's it, the best amp you'll ever see! (Subjective I suppose!!) Based in Wickford, Essex. Any questions, let me know.- 13 replies

Must. Resist. Temptation. -
Dang... can't beat an ACG. -
A beautiful bass... Unfortunately I think the offer I could make would be too low! -
Custom basses/guitars do seem to plummet in price on the 2nd hand market. I bought one of Alan's Reiver Guitars for £1300 a few weeks back, would of been closer to £3000 when built and it was only made in 2019. Their loss, my gain! I have had a custom bass made for me by Alan too, personally I'd never sell it. I do find it strange when people have custom instruments made then sell them on, I guess they didn't manage to convey to the luthier what they really wanted!

Shhh! Now everyone knows that you know my 'ring' size!!

Will there be left handed ones available?

You're awfully close to me demanding satisfaction in the form of a duel...
-
Look, if you want me to reduce my order to one third of 6 sets then you're going the right way about doing it!
-
I'll take two thirds of 3 sets.

I'm in! Looking forward to getting some Asschat.co.ukb strap locks!

Roger at THG Knobs made this truss rod cover for me some years back. He does absolutely exceptional work.

It started as a white envelope... (Done a review, it's a small rant about why the common Gerbil will one day develop thumbs and take over as the dominant species.)

Hellzero's never ending story. It's all about naked ones...
binky_bass replied to Hellzero's topic in Gear Gallery
It's a close battle between you and me sir! One day I will gather all the pictures up of my basses past and present and post something similar, Basschat may buckle under the weight of so many photos though! 13 of those basses in your pictures I have owned or still own! -
Sorry, that was a rather ranty post! Didn't quite mean for it to come off that ranty! 😁

@Brook_fan, where else can you sell an item with a reach as broad as reverb or eBay for less that 3.5% or even 5%? Bass Direct and The Gallery charge 20%. Cash Converters? Good luck, they'll offer you 50% of the price of the last one that sold via eBay, failing that they offer 25% of RRP. If you don't like the fees, don't use the service and don't sell your gear! These services need to pay for their platforms, employees and services, they're not free and you don't need to use them if you don't want to!

It's the HUGE text... clearly works! -
That's because it just wasn't offensive enough!
-
strangely we got stopped twice by the Bulgarian Police, I'm almost certain it's because we had a rent-a-car and they figured we'd be easy to extort a 'fine' out of.
-
That's pretty much always the case! I've had many a debate over the years with many a person about these kind of things and frankly, if you're being brutally honest, it all boils down to the fact that humans as a species are inherently terrible! There is no denying that the majority of living things on this planet would be FAR better off if we didn't exist. Where's Thanos when you need him!
-
Now that this has all been cleared up, does anyone dare share an offensive joke? 😂

The world wouldn't turn if everything was neutral. It would also be exceptionally boring. Neutrality is a different point entirely to treating everyone with respect. The latter I absolutely agree with, but neutrality is not something I agree with. Some like beige, some like radical bold colours. There's nothing wrong with either. Some are career driven and seek to earn as much as they can, some are more than content in life without having career goals. There's nothing wrong either either.
-
I'll be openly honest here and say that I generally find offensive humour much funnier that PG humour. I suspect everyone is probably not in a dissimilar boat, whether they choose to admit it or not! What people will say out loud, and the opinions they voice in public are seldom the same as the true person that they are.

Balls to 'this day and age'. That I find offensive! To submit to the current culture of everything must be neutral and even is an utterly impossible goal. Life is not even, equal or neutral, to try and insist it should be is setting yourself up to fail as life will never be this peachy walk through the park where everyone is exactly equal to the next person. I long for an age were the thought of race, gender, personal preferences etc. aren't even a consideration anymore, where you could be trans, straight, black, male, blue, unspecified and be looked upon in the same light as the next person, with no judgement. BUT I do not long for the day where everything is forced neutrality. I have my interest, they may not be your interests, but I have the right to be able to access content that appeals to my interest. We are not all the same, we like different things, life is a beautiful tie-dye of different appetites, just because someone chooses to be trans doesn't mean we can't still read a book where the love interest is male/female. Nor does it mean that I (as a man in a male/female relationship) should de-value another book written where the relationship portrayed is based on a different paradigm. To grey everything out would be a crying shame and totally the wrong way to celebrate our differences.
