    Get a Cort A6. You can pick these up pre-owned for £300-£400. Excellent build quality and a 6 string bass will definitely help expand your playing (IMHO).

    Mine...

    Ain't nobody got no cash! Bleak out there...

    £1150 is very cheap for this...

    Sounds like you acted in a completely reasonable way, hopefully lessons have been learnt at their end since your experience and they've now seemingly significantly upped their customer service game. Shame you had that bad experience, things like that can certainly put you off a company for life, but companies can change for the better, so let's hope that your experience contributed to a realisation that a better customer service should have been provided and will now be provided going forward.

    I suppose it depends on how you approach them... if it's with diplomacy and a friendly attitude I'd hope they'd be as helpful as the majority of reports suggest. I sent them an email a day ago just for general advice on something and to see if they had a replacement grill for a 410 cab that I have that's a little tatty - got an email back from Dave within 24 hours. 👍

    That VBA400 rig has always been on the 'want' list! If you ever want to rid yourself of it...

    Hi all, I bought this a little while ago as its a cool old beast, but realistically I just don't see a day that I'll use it, so it's up for sale to someone that might get some use out of this hefty old USA beast. £60 collected from Wickford, Essex, or I could potentially post for around £15. Any questions, let me know.

    Sorely tempted by the 1516... I'll be down your way (Cardiff/Merthyr) on the 12th Dec too.

    I'll probably shift on that Peavey at some point if I'm honest, I've not used it since purchase and can't really see me ever using it so it should really go somewhere where it can do its thing!

    3 rigs at the moment, albeit temporarily as one will have to move on sadly!

    Not seen one of these in a long while. I can never decide if I love or hate the headstock on these! Really cool basses either way.

    It's basically a Mesa Strategy in a Laney box. These have excellent reviews. A other after a powerful all-valve brand new rig should consider this. I did... then an Ashdown CTM300 came up at a price that compelled me to buy it!

    Having just acquired an Ashdown CTM300, and living 15 miles from Ashdown HQ, stories like this are reassuring!
  15. binky_bass
    Good choices in heads sir. A might respectable pile up!
  16. binky_bass
    New photos! Someone take this before I change my mind, despite the threat of divorce looming over me if I don't sell one rig!

    Given your name @Burns-bass, it's obviously gone to the completely wrong person! 😋

    Although one will have to go, this triple threat of mighty beasts does look mildy arousing...

    10 year old thread alert...

    Hi all, Up for sale here is my absolutely beautiful Purple Chili Phatt Bass 750w head with matching 2x12 cab. I'm pretty sure I have Purple Chili branded covers for both too. I've very recently bought an Ashdown CTM300 which I think I'll now be keeping, so this lovely bit of kit needs to unfortunately go. It's in near immaculate condition, the head has a 3 valve (12ax7) pre-amp with a 750w solid state power section - both the head and cab are much lighter than you'd expect from looking at them, very easy one-hand lifts. The head is 9kg and the cab is 18kg, so really about as light as you could possibly get for this kind of rig! For anyone that read it, I did recently post a thread about my Mesa rig and this rig being under powered, the issues it turns out is with the power supply to my studio and not with the amps! Be that a good or a bad thing for me... I'd love to keep it, but I just can't justify having this rig, the Mesa rig AND the Ashdown rig, so in the spirit of wanting to give the Ashdown rig a good go over the next few months, this Purple Chili rig is on the chopping block. Only a very small handful of these were made due to the cost of manufacture, so this is a rare beast indeed! Hand made in the UK with entirely British sourced parts (bar a small number of components). Looking for £650 for the lot which I believe is a very fair price indeed. Collection from Wickford in Essex. More pictures in a few days!

    Looks like I was the last one to leave feedback! Time for another addition... Richard sold me an Ashdown CTM300 with an ABM 410 cab, he also VERY kindly drove quite a considerable distance to get the deal done. Can't ask for more really! Top Basschatter!
  23. binky_bass
    Done. Cheers @Painy!

    Fortunately for them we have a semi-sound proofed rehearsal room at the bottom of the garden! 👍

    Just a note to say Thanks to Warren. He very kindly agreed to lend me an amp to do some recording this weekend as my Mesa has been playing up. We agreed a time for me to collect, unfortunately due to some family circumstances I couldn't pick it up, but that doesn't change the fact that Warren was kind enough to help me out of a jam, which he didn't need to do. So thank you mate, really appreciated! A credit to Basschat! 🙂
