    Purple Chili Phatt Bass 750w Head & Purple Chili 2x12 Cab. £650 - *SOLD*

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by binky_bass

    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.

    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!

    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! 🙂

    Bass straps - what you using ?

    They both have the same type of adjustment as my Minotaur strap - an interwoven looping strap. Like this:

    This is not easy (not as easy as I like it to be) to adjust and is definitely not a fluid/smooth adjustment.

    My basses are ~4kg each. Standard P and standard J.

    Get two with the BOGOF and set them to different lengths. 👍

     

    No metal work within the adjustment mechanism on the strap means no scratches on the bass! 

     

    No disagreement that they're not the easiest to adjust, but they sure are nice straps! 😁

    I am looking for a wide strap that is not very stiff. Also, I'd like to have a fluid length adjustment.

    I have GruvGear Solo Neo and Minotaur straps.

    Both are quality straps but quite stiff and it is a bit of PITA to adjust them (impossible while playing).

     

    I am considering Comfort Strap or Mono Strap. Any other options that you can think of? 

    Pinegrove and/or Italia Leather are the ones I use and fit your above requirements. Italian are up to 4" wide and really supple, good ability to adjust too.

    They have a constant BOGOF offer too.

    Hi, I'm travelling to Holt in Norfolk the week before Christmas and will be travelling between there and Bournemouth if that helps anybody. Just delivery, you do the deal.

    Graham

    You'd be pretty much going almost past my house on that route (SS11 7PT). A very generous offer sir, no matter who may take you up on it! 

     

    If @E sharp is open to this, how close could you get to my postcode? What'd be the ideal 'meet spot'? (Assuming @Raslee hasn't officially bagsied it yet!)

    But it's the only 6-string I have! It sounds great too and has sustain for days. That said, 5-strings are more my thing so when I'm toying with whether to downsize the Spector springs to mind first (through no fault of its own). 

    Go on then, show us the full beast!

     

    If you do downsize, give me a shout! I used to have a Spector NS6XL a while back, loved it.

    Slightly OTT post, sorry. I’ve been wondering what this would look like for ages.
