Back in the 80's you could have probably bought an old Soviet era surplus M47 tank for about £2000. Dems were the days!

A tankyard you say?

I'm still searching for one! 😂 If I added another Head it would be about right.

@fretmeister, it's all there!!

NOW ONLY SELLING ONE! THE ORANGE/REDDISH ONE ON THE RIGHT WITH THE GLOCKENLANG PRE-AMP - £1950. Well, what can I say about these apart from a small piece of me will die if they sell... It simply doesn't get better than a Custom De Gier Elevation 6 string bass... wait, yes it does! When there's two of them! Having spoken to Sander De Gier, these are 2 of his personal favourite builds. They are absolutely top of the line, amazingly detailed top AND back woods, matching headstock caps front and rear, set necks, incredibly comfortable necks, one with an Aguilar OPB-3 pre-amp, one with a Glockenlang pre-amp, both with custom wood enclosed Häussel Big Mag pick ups. These are fantastically light weight for a 6er, circa 4kg give or take (will weigh them, and measure spacing tomorrow). Both are 34" scale and both are 99% immaculate. Basses of this calibre would cost you around €4000 a piece from Sander today, so this is almost a buy-one-get-one-free scenario. I may entertain selling one, only if the other also finds a home, if you do some fairly complex math you'll find that half of £4000 is £2000, so that'll be the price for one. I have one custom made leather De Gier case that Sander had made for the Elevation series. This will come with the basses, I also have another high quality gig bag for the other. Fully insured postage is circa £40 a piece, I will send them in separate consignments to avoid potential damage, so shipping is £80 for the pair or collection from Basildon, Essex if you prefer. I can meet somewhere if needed for petrol. It is heartbreaking to sell these and I may end up withdrawing them. These are up there with the absolute best of basses that the world has to offer, truly remarkable things. Now, off to cry...

If you set it up so the cabs are facing each other and are about 2 foot apart while running it at full volume, it will vaporizer anything you put between them. This is why I don't have a cat anymore.

£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.

Must. Resist. Temptation.

Dang... can't beat an ACG.

A beautiful bass... Unfortunately I think the offer I could make would be too low!
