Bought a PJB M300 head from Gareth today. It was a pleasure to do business with such a great chap and he really went out of his way to deliver this item and check that I was completely happy. I also got to pick his brains about his experiences with different double bass strings and pickups, so that was a big plus. It was a pleasure doing business with you Gareth - I hope you're happy with your new valve setup when you get it. Best regards, James P.S. If you take the job in Bristol then I'll pass some teaching and gigging work your way.

Phil Jones Bass 6B Neo Power cab for sale or trade
james_guitar replied to franzbassist's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi Gareth, Thanks for dropping off the PJB M300 head to me today. It was great to meet you and I'm really loving the head already; it sounds fantastic and you obviously look after your stuff as it's in great copndition. If anyone is tempted by the 6B cab but is wary about buying then check out Gareth's feedback via his basschat profile - you'll notice as I did that many people from here have purchased stuff from him in the past and all agree; he's true gent and very knowledgeable about bass gear. I also got to pick his brains about bass string and pickups and he was more than happy to offer advice. Highly recommended. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11627&hl=walbassist"]walbassist's feedback[/url] P.S. I already have an 8b cab and have also tried the 6b cab. If you haven't tried one then you've missed out; you'll struggle to find a clearer or fatter bass tone than this anywhere and these cabs are also very portable. I can't see myself ever wanting to change my double bass rig from this and it's also the best sound I've heard from a low B string on a 5-string electric bass. -

I've just updated the original post as I've finally sorted my double bass rig and am now considering trades for this cab. I would be interested in a light/portable head for smaller gigs, but am interested in whatever else you may have to offer. Thanks, James P.S. sale price is still just £165 with either pickup or devliery costs as quoted a few messages above.

[quote name='lushuk' post='1249182' date='May 29 2011, 02:08 PM']I dont need this James but been watching this thread and thinking this is a bargain, great price as far as I can see![/quote] Thanks for the feedback; I was beginning to wonder if I had missed the mark somewhere, but I guess not everyone's after a 1x15 cab. Hopefully this will find the right home soon!

Hello Bass peeps...First day on here..
james_guitar replied to Rick's Fine '52's topic in Introductions
Tasty collection! Welcome to the forum. If you've promised yourself not to buy anything else, then avoid the 'Basschat Marketplace'; it's like crack! P.S. I have a Fender 1x15 cab going cheap in there -
AER Compact Mobile

Hi fellow basschatters, Is any one interested in or know any one else selling a AER Compact Mobile amp? I'm not interested in the other AER amps as I'm primarily looking to busk with it and this is the one with the battery-powered option. I just missed out on a local eBay auction for one as I've been out of the country this week Thanks, James

[quote name='Monz' post='1245996' date='May 26 2011, 06:14 PM']How do I justify this to the lads in the band.. ahh well I just give it the "what this old thing, I've had it ages" lol[/quote] What an awesome purchase. Put a door on the back of the cab and it could double up as a nifty wardrobe/dressing room.

I'd love to know what you think of the doubler once you've gigged it. That and the AI Clarus are the only heads I'm considering other than the PJB M300 or D600 to go with my 8b cab. You guys seem to be the double bass amp connoisseurs on this forum, so I'm finding your feedback on each head to be invaluable. I just need to take my upright on a train journey to a decent music shop that stocks some of these options. I hope you've finally solved the sound quality v.s. volume issue!

[quote name='Jakester' post='1246147' date='May 26 2011, 07:49 PM']Obviously it was, then. Would have been nice to have had the courtesy of a reply, either here, or to my PM, though. A 'thanks, but no thanks' doesn't cost anything... [/quote] Hey sorry for the late reply; I'm in Dubai at the moment and haven't listened to your stuff yet. I'm sure it's very good; I'm I'm Birmingham again I'm just over a week, so we should meet up for a drink around then if you're free. I'll listen to your stuff and message you again once I'm back in the UK. Best regards, James

TC Electronics RH450 - NOW SOLD! (on ebay for £485)
james_guitar replied to Riddler's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Nothing wrong with setting your price high. I think a lot of people would rather spend less than the asking price, but I'm sure eventually someone will be very happy with it. I had a John Myung six string bass on here for over two years before it sold as I refused to drop what I thought was a fair price. Have a free bump on me -

Epifani UL115 series 2 speaker cab for sale or trade....
james_guitar replied to voxpop's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
That's because they're primarily made with double bass in mind. I was looking In to Epifani myself a few years ago and the only thing that stopped me at the time was lack of funds. Now most of my gigs are double bass, so I'm after that more natural 'lack of bloom' your PJB head has to offer. Let me know if you decide to sell your M-300 as I'm currently in the Market for one. I know they're a bit heavy and not everyone's cup of tea for electric bass, but I think I can live with those trade-off's for the right double bass sound. Thanks, James -

TC Electronics RH450 - NOW SOLD! (on ebay for £485)
james_guitar replied to Riddler's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I think you've hit the nail on the head (no pun intended) with the price. There are hugely popular heads, but they typically go on here in perfect condition for much less, with a footswitch included and carry case. I'd potentially be interested myself if the price was more tempting. Good luck with the sale; it's a great amp and deserves to be played/loved. -

Ever heard of setting a reserve?
