There’s one on marketplace for £300 which includes a 4x10 cab. They don’t seem to have a very good resale value, possibly due to the reliability issues that a number of users encountered with the 10.1. They are fantastic sounding amps, trading my 5.1 is one of the few amp regrets that I have.

Come over to the SE Bass Bash and you can hear them side by side

 

That’s not a bad idea at all! 

Would be interesting to hear a direct comparison between the LX and Euro classic, just to see how the alder/tonepump combo compares to the maple/EMG preamp combo. 

Keep getting drawn towards the Euro LX in the matte black stain. I love the finish and the all black hardware. Lovely looking bass. Having said that, the new gold and blue colours on the Euro Classic are pretty fantastic too 

Absolutely fantastic cabs, the best piece of gear I’ve ever bought

Lovely bass!

 

Are the fretboard inlays stickers or actual inlays?  As if the latter, that would make this a custom shop model  

They’re just stickers. Thanks for reminding me Kev, I knew I’d leave something out of the ad! 

Putting my 1998 Warwick SS1 up for sale. Not something I thought I’d be doing any time soon, but gas has got the better of me. It’s a 1998 in Ocean blue, which I bought from a fellow BC’er. It’s had the hardware changed to black and I’ve had an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp installed. It will come with the original gold hardware, but I no longer have the original MEC preamp, it was faulty, hence the OBP-3 (which is a much better preamp anyway,imho) The bass does have a few nicks and scars here and there, as you would expect from a gigged 25yr old bass, but nothing major, as you can see from the pics, some of the finish blemishes just look like small white dots.  It’s strung with 45-105 Ernie Ball Cobalts, which have only done one gig and two rehearsals. One of the main reasons for me wanting this bass, was the fact you don’t see many stage 1’s in ocean blue. It’s a fab colour. I’m sure I’ll regret this, but the Spector gas is too strong at the moment! I’m afraid it doesn’t come with a case or bag, so will have to be collection/meet up only unfortunately. I’m based in Bristol but happy to travel 50 miles each way for a meet up. You’re welcome to come and try it out at my house, I’ll just need a little bit of notice so I can bring my amp and cab home from rehearsal space. 
Edit: The ying yang fret markers are just stickers, so easily removed if needs be 
Edit to add, not looking for any trades on this one as it’s only being sold to fund something else. Thanks 

I’ve picked the amp up today and measured the feet centres. Lengthwise the feet are 380mm apart, and depth wise it’s 230mm, both measurements are centre to centre. As for the year of manufacture, it was built in July 2018. Also took some close up pics of the amp today.

Good luck with the sale of your amp! 

You’ll probably get a buyer now I w put my amp up for sale!

Hi how old is the amp and can you give me the measurement of the rubber feet (centre to centre)?

To be honest, I’m not sure how old the amp is. I bought it used last year from @jonse. I’ll pick it up from our rehearsal space tomorrow and measure the rubber feet and check the serial number for the exact age 

Just put my amp up for sale, if it sells and you still have this, I’ll be in touch! 🤞

Putting my ABM up for sale. I kept it as a spare when I bought my GK Fusion 550, but it’s too good to be sat around unused, and Spector gas has gotten the better of me, so unfortunately it has to go. I bought it about a year ago from @Jonse (hope you don’t mind me using some of your pics!) It’s always been kept in a cover which is really thickly padded and has a handy pocket on the front for cables etc. I can get more detailed pics when I pick the amp up from our rehearsal space this week. Happy to meet up within 100 miles of Bristol to hand over in person, or I can box it up if you wish to arrange a courier. I don’t have the original box but it will be very well packaged. The amp is in great condition, and the only reason I stopped using it was that the chance of a Fusion 550 came up, and I’d wanted one forever! No trades I’m afraid as I’m only selling to raise funds towards a Spector purchase. Any questions, please ask. You are, of course, welcome to come and try it out with your own bass or one of mine, I’ll just need a day or two notice so I can bring my cab home from rehearsal space.

Well don't be the one to lose out on a bargain and end up kicking yourself! 😂 

 

I am surprised it hasn't got more love on BC, most of the interest is coming from groups on Facebook but I guess thats how it is now. 

That’s my fear! 😂 I’ve sold a few things few marketplace on FB and various groups. It’s a massive audience, it’s just a case of separating the genuine buyers from the messers

Yeah Its strange. Got a couple of people interested at he moment but we'll see. I think its a lot of bass for the money 

I’m hoping it sells, so I don’t have to decide what to sell to fund a purchase! 😂

I’m amazed this hasn’t sold, it’s a stunning bass! 

Cracking little combo for the money! 

I asked on the Stingray fb group and the original owner of that bass responded. He bought it brand new and spec’d it to have black hardware. They wouldn’t send him the black neck plate though as it had the serial number on. He had to send the bass back in to Music Man, they fitted the black plate, updated the serial number details on their system and then sent the bass back to him. 

Just been watching a comparison video on Low End Lobsters YouTube channel, and was wondering if the colour scheme on his 2018 Stingray Special is a US only colour. I’ve never seen one in this colour before, white with black plate, maple neck and all black hardware? It’s done me no favours with the Stingray GAS either! I think it looks great in that colour 

Really nice sounding amps. When I bought my Dingwall from Bass Direct, they set me up through a Magellan and I was really impressed. I think if I was ever to go back to class d amps, it would be very high on my list. 

I was browsing pickups on their site earlier. They’ve got Aguilar DCB-P/J set showing as in stock, and for £150. That same set is more like £300+ everywhere else. Not sure if they’re showing the wrong PJ set, or that’s the price for P or J and not both 

I have 3, 

ABM500 Evo RC

ABM600

GK Fusion 550

I’ve owned the ABM500 for more years than I care to remember. I’ve had many other amps in that time, but always just kept it as a spare. I bought the 600 last year, and then the Fusion 550 came up for sale. It was an amp I’d always wanted, so I couldn’t resist. The ABM500 needs repairing, I think once I get around to getting that sorted, I’ll probably sell the 600. 

This rig is just ridiculous. Took my pedalboard tonight as usual, as it houses my tuner and wireless set up, but didn’t engage any other pedals all night. Just Sire V7 Vintage, straight into the Fusion 550. It just sounds fabulous 

A couple of beers for me, one per set. My bladder won’t allow me to have anymore than that! 

I have a new found admiration for Lewis Capaldi after watching him struggle his way through his set. Can’t be easy dealing with stress and anxiety, on top of Tourette’s, when trying to perform on the main stage at such a huge festival 

The sound seemed all over the place for Guns n Roses set. Axl’s voice buried one minute( maybe purposely), then upfront in the mix the next. Slash’s guitar volume also seemed to be all over the place in the mix.
