Wow! What a bass.
I have that phrase saved as a hot key, to hit whenever I see one of Si’s ads!

Great guy to deal with as as all the above feedback testifies to!

Interesting article in the Guardian today about musicians and the bond with their instruments:

Highly recommended Basschatter!

I’d recommend having a look at some of the recording courses at CityLit the adult education college in Covent Garden. Some are daytime courses others are evening or weekend.

example here of one of the Ableton courses: https://www.citylit.ac.uk/courses/ableton-live

I’ve done a couple of Logic courses there and would recommend them, tutors were good and studios well equipped.

Radial JDI DI box with original box.

excellent condition

£90 posted in UK - £95 in EU

can collect from Pinner Middx (close to Pinner Tube station).
 

Had a couple of requests to ship this amp, though I’m not happy to trust it to a courier.

Collection only or meet-up - though I’m happy to drive an hour or so to deliver.

Just received a jazz bass from Martin in a quick and easy transaction. Bass had been very well packaged and arrived today in perfect condition.

Very happy to recommend Martin to anyone on Basschat.

‘Evening Owen, was wondering when you’d stop by

Just weighted it on the bathroom scales, it came in at 21 Kgs or 46 lbs

I do not need a new 12" cab. But lots of people do. Why on earth is this still here? 

Yes, I was expecting it to have sold by now as it’s a quality cab at a decent price - had quite a few pm’s about it, though hasn’t sold yet.

My word - what does that weigh?

Doesn’t state the weight on the Demeter site, though I’ve seen it quoted as 39lbs on TalkBass.

sounds about right - might weigh it myself later To confirm.

update: it weighs 21Kgs or 46 lbs

Recently sold a p bass to Paul in what was a simple, trouble free transaction. Good communication and quick payment, can’t ask for more than that! cheers Paul

Now here's something you won't see every day!

In fact I've never seen another one for sale.

Absolute highest quality all valve construction - hand built in US, featuring point to point wiring.

Features two preamp valves and 8 6550 power valves.

Gold Plated RCA connectors - I'm including one of OBBM's RCA to Speakon cables.

Demeters list price on these is $3500 on top would be shipping 20% VAT + Import duty of 2.5% which will amount to something like $4,500

This power amp is in near immaculate condition with just a couple of minor scratches on the side of the casing.

From Demeter site

Designed for heavy duty use, the VTHF-300M is equally at home in the studio or on the road. Its all tube high fidelity design rivals and surpasses the sound quality of many of the so-called audiophile amplifiers, yet sells for substantially less. Its awesome power (300 W RMS pentode/150 W triode) can run any speaker through its paces with the accuracy, definition and fullness that only tube amplifiers can deliver. Featuring a custom designed and high current bifiler audio output transformer, regulated B+ to the preamplifier section, individual output tube bias for long tube life, pentode/triode switch, variable feedback control, heavy duty binding posts, gold plated RCA input connector (1/4 phono and Jensen balanced 3-pin also available), optional two speed fan, toroidal power transformer, solid power supply (880 mf @ 800 volts), Demeter selected tubes, a beautiful heavy duty aluminum and steel chassis, all hand built construction in the U.S.A. using only the best quality components.

Specifications

Output power: 300 watts RMS pentode / 150 watts RMS triode
Output impedance: 4 and 8ohms
Nominal input impedance: 100kohms
THD: Less than 0.05 @ 1 watt
Bandwidth: 20 to 20 kHz - .7dB
Preamp tubes: 1 - 12AX7a, 1 - 12AT7a
Power tubes: 8 - Svetlana 6550c
Mounting: 4 space standard rack
Operating voltage: 240/120V AC
Dimensions: 7" x 19" x 12"

Bass Player Magazine reviewer probably summed it up perfectly when he ended his review with:

“It's hard to go back to a solid-state power amp after listening to the VTHF-300M's heavenly sound. this powerhouse is also one of the few pieces of professionally audio gear that's equally at home kicking out a 4-string funk as it is filling a living room with Mozart. You'll probably have to save a ton of pennies to afford one, but it will put a smile on your every time you use it.”

*** WITHDRAWN  FROM SALE ***

decided I’d rather save up for a deluxe jazz bass than part with this..!

Good idea - you won’t find another like this very easily!

Just received a Yamaha BB from Alberto, perfectly packaged and in excellent condition.

Great communication in what was a simple transaction- just the way I like it!
