[quote name='guitarnbass' post='89643' date='Nov 16 2007, 09:12 PM']I got a hartke ha4000 a few weeks back, but just a few days ago I found out it was faulty, so I send it back yesterday to the guy, that one was exactly 12.2kg btw, but I guess the 3500 might be a little lighter, still, they are good, but heavy as f*** amps, well, compared to the mark bass I had, that was light as anything.. I'd buy this off you when I get my money back but I'm gonna leave replacing it until after xmas, need the money!! good luck.[/quote]


Sorry to here you got a duff HA4000 mate, I thought they were built proof!

al the best R.

Hello, thanks for all the comments re postage.

let me explain my situation.

Are you sitting comfortably?

I have actually found a box and some packing material that this will fit in but at the moment there is zero chance of me being at home during the week for a courier to collect it and due to an ill relative I have to be on standby to leg it to the West Midlands at short notice. basically it's almost imposible for me to commit to being in half a day waiting for a courier.

Sorry to be a pain.


Regards R.

Somebody buy it - what a bargain!

Whats the weight of this?[/quote]

Hi, from memory it's about 10kg, if you want a more precise weight I could weigh it for you later today.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='80506' date='Oct 28 2007, 05:18 PM']Mine smells of toffee - I make everyone smell it and they think I'm weird, suppose I am really. :wacko:[/quote]

I wish all my basses could be made to smell like my Sterling, I guess that makes me a tad on the weird side to!

[quote name='The Burpster' post='80471' date='Oct 28 2007, 04:01 PM']NORMALLY....... Maple boards are finished with lacquer (acrylic or cellulose) so my guess is its the polish....

Unless someone has used a magic tree as a shim in the neck pocket..... [/quote]


I'll try the Magic Tree shim method on my Stingray to try and make it as sweet smelling as the Sterling, now where's my screwdrivers...

[quote name='The Burpster' post='80465' date='Oct 28 2007, 03:47 PM']What type fret board do you have? It could have been treated with Lemming Oil?

BTW, PRS polish smells very nice.... Polish mine twice a year and they smell lovely after for a few weeks...[/quote]


It's a maple board, can you use lemon oil on that or is it for rosewood boards?

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='80458' date='Oct 28 2007, 03:29 PM']Chances are it's the case you store it in, if you do.[/quote]

It's in a standard Musicman case do they smell nice then? all my other cases smell of nothing or have a nasty plastic chemical smell to them.

Weird question I know but I have a Musicman Sterling and it smells fantastic, I also have a Stingray 5 but that's odourless, I was wondering if it had anything to do with the back of the neck which I'm guessing is treated with wax or oil to protect it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well Christmas isn't that far away!

This is still looking for a new home!

I had a quote of $35 postage for a strap for Bass Central in Florida!

R.

I bought a NEOTECH neoprene strap from the States recently and it helped with the weight of my Stingray 5.


R.

Still for sale

Recently got hold of an EVO 500 and I'm liking what I hear so far, I like Marmite to!

I wonder if it's down to musical style whether folk like them or not?

[quote name='guitarnbass' post='73848' date='Oct 13 2007, 04:42 PM']Depends on whether you want to do it in person, but my head is almost brand new, no makrs, never gigged, still has box and booklets, and ears - 4/5 months old from off the shelf. I'd say £210 cash plus your hartke for my amp if you come up to birmingham and get it? infact, 220 with ears.[/quote]

Oh I didn't know they were worth that much, I'll have to pass but thanks anyway.

Sounds like a good one - good luck with selling it.

Regards R.

[quote name='guitarnbass' post='73843' date='Oct 13 2007, 04:31 PM']Hmmm.. I'm tempted to buy this and sell my little mark to make some cash which is sorely needed. Odd mixture of screws, suggests it was opened up for repair?[/quote]

I thought the mixed screws were because it had been in a rack not repaired, it's only the corner protectors that have odd screws.
I wouldn't mind trying a Little Mark 2, Maybe we could strike a deal, how much cash would you want if we traded?

Replied.

[quote name='lukeward2004' post='73781' date='Oct 13 2007, 02:28 PM']Crikey, thats a silly price for a 3500!

Has it got the stock preamp tube in it? I bought mine with the upgraded preamp tube (a 12ax7m) and I would choose it over Ashdown anyday, but horses for courses etc.

The Hartke 3500 is a great amp - ive had mine and gigged it regularly for over 2 years now and it has never once given me any grief and never had any reliability issues.

Good luck with the sale.[/quote]

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the kind words mate.

Yes as far as I know it has the stock tube in it, I bought this amp from ebay a while back and it has served me very well, I could put it back on the Bay and probably get more for it but I'd rather someone from this forum had it for a reasonable price, plus I avoid their fees.

R.

Hi,
I had this amp head up for sale a month or so ago but withdrew it after all the Harkte fans
convinced me it was better then the amp I had bought to replace it, I'm still not sure what one sounds best but the 'old school' VU meter and the handy 'mute switch' on the Ashdown swung the vote.

There are a few scratches on the top of the casing and an odd mixture of screws holding the corner protectors on (none of this would show in a rack) otherwise it in good full working condition.

Sorry no postage offered at the mo'

If the guy talks like he writes you may need to take a translator!

Good Luck.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='68572' date='Oct 2 2007, 11:29 AM']I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but I'm sure I recall that it was played it in E and the track was varispeeded to F (or maybe the bass was tuned up a semitone). Its certainly seems a lot easier to play in E.[/quote]

I'm sure you are right about that Mr Pickguard, I read that somewhere to - possibly in Bass Player Magazine.
