    It only weighs just on 9lbs. And I thought I was a 6' 1" weakling

    Thanks Paul Tom, what you doing up at this time of the night? Guessing arty farty is progress over the usual comments my photos get (ie, they are sh*te pal). Oh, and at 9lbs it's too heavy for you Tom It is in very good condition, with a few tiny headstock and body dints. Anything that looks any size is just photo/lighting/reflection.

Sale only please (unless you have an immaculate PUMA 900 and we can chat ) A lot of well made bass for this money. Feedback at bottom of thread, cheers, Karl. EDIT.

    [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1460636198' post='3027435'] Check your EQ settings - there is a lot of boost on tap, along with the speaker killing 'features' that ashdown build into their amps (deep switch, sub-harmonic generator) which can sound good at home practice levels, but add so much bass to the signal that once you crank the volume up to the sort of levels you need for gigs and rehearsals, the speakers will be farting out and getting damaged. For band use I find that turning off the deep switch and sub-harmonic, and applying some cut to the bass EQ, and bumping the mid and low mid slightly gives good results on my MAG 300-115 combo. High levels of volume at the fundamental frequency of the lowest notes are unnecessary, most of what we hear is 1st harmonic and above on these notes anyway. [/quote] THIS^^^^^^^^^ Somebody with the skills to replace speakers is unlikely to have used the wrong uns. Get all that deep bass/sub harmonic off when gigging. Those 4 x 8's in particular are a great cab (imo). You will get a different sound in your bedroom, in a shop, on stage and 10 yards away from the stage.

Not going to bust a gut, as pointed out it's a great amp. Just like the car cassette size, I never learn. Daft thing is, I rarely used my back up rig, sold it last weekend and now I'm missing it.

    Oh sh*t. Now what do I do. Really happy with my Barefaced, but Gary, nowt personal, but I hate you The 410BMF I had was the best cab I've ever used. Please be gone by the morning!

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1460485308' post='3026170'] A typical pub classic rock band, though they're about 30 years younger than most that you see around here . Why has the bassist removed his shirt ? [/quote] You're going to the wrong pubs fella

    Ok, I know I'm old, but the the top bit (technical expression) says fs/ft. I can't find any mention of trade/part trade bait you might be interested in? So apologies if I've missed that bit, but ????????

    Great cabs, great bloke, 'av a bump Mark.
  17. karlfer
    Brilliant Sam, well done you

    Stop baiting Kev you lot. He's a lovely bloke. With very scary eyes. And too many FRIENDS Sorry Kev, good luck with the drummer, that's the 2 important bits sorted.

    Hasn't Chuck Stones bought this?

    [quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1460453753' post='3025773'] The One10's are 8ohm aren't they? I understand what you're saying though - I wrote off the Two10's because of the 4/12ohm thing, I'm sure the logic makes sense but when you want two 8ohm cabs that's what you've got to have. [/quote] [quote name='DBerriff' timestamp='1460453915' post='3025777'] The One 10s are 8 Ohm cabs; it is the Two 10 that comes in the 4 or 12 Ohm options. [/quote] [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1460455104' post='3025792'] don't be too put off by the 12 ohm thing on the 210... there will be a difference in output but it's likely a lot less pronounced than you think (especially when you have a reasonably powerful amp) [/quote] Correct. I'm old, I'm allowed brain fart mode. Moving swiftly on

    I think I would have bought 2 of the BF 1 X 10'S quite a while back, but it's the 4 0hm, 12 ohm choice that stopped me. Alex explained why, but it was way over my old dinosaur ain't gonna change head Must admit, this thread has got me thinking again. Can two biscuit tin sized 10's really handle Metallica/Maiden covers against 2 Blackstar'd gaytartists and a shed building drummer (who is usually part mic'd). Anybody within about 50 miles of Manchester use two, so I can go see them gig?

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1460451234' post='3025745'] In answer to the OP, I'd say not. Andy Baxter deals pretty much exclusively in vintage instruments and you only have to look at what has sold and the new arrivals on his website to see the market is buoyant. He's at the retail price end of things and charges top dollar. You can see the added value from the point of view of the buyer though - there are a lot of instruments in one location, you know they are going to be original and genuine, described accurately and truthfully and will be properly set-up and ready to go. Talking of readies, if I had any I'd set up camp in his showroom and never come out... [url="http://andybaxterbass.com/guitars.php?pc=1&cat=1"]http://andybaxterbas....php?pc=1&cat=1[/url] [/quote] Thing is discreet, London, well, there's all those famous and up and coming muso's drifting round there. Professionals, possibly with record/production company money behind them. Plus of course Andy's global reputation. Probably his contact's in the states help as well. So, I'm not quite convinced Andy's is the examplar that shows the whole?

    Superb condition, recently serviced by Gee, going back to the smaller PUMA, IF I can sell this in time. 3.5 years old, these were sold at £799 (unlike the current Indonesian ones at around £600). The Markbass gig bag for this was £80, daft price!. This is a very powerful head, but remarkably light at 6kgs. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mark_Bass_TTE_500_800.html"]http://www.bassdirec...TE_500_800.html[/url] Collection from Wigan/meet up preferred. Sorry, no trades unless you have an immaculate PUMA 900. Extra £20 for insured UK courier. Feedback at bottom of post, thanks for looking.

    [quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1460402066' post='3025468'] If it were under different circumstances yes. The guitarist has essentially (although quietly) thrown his toys out of the pram as things arent going exactly as he wants them to and with little regard to others in the band. He was also the reason our original singer left in january. Things will be better without him and we can get back to enjoying the band again and it being fun. Which is the whole point. It's his choice and I am not wasting time sending 'so sorry to hear you're leaving' messages! [/quote] We are going to have to agree to disagree. Unless violence or illegality are involved, everybody deserves an acknowledgement of communications. To me it's only courtesy. In my case it was because the other three booked 2 x 40 minute gigs in Europe (4 days away in total) without me agreeing to it. Final straw.
