Hmm, I got two of those PJB C4 light cabs just before Christmas, both 4 x 5, 400w. Sounded beautiful tone wise. First bit of bass gear I can ever remember returning to the retailer. Nowhere near loud enough for the band I play in. Very disappointing.

I've done some to Europe. I stipulate to them, 1. They need to pay me by bank transfer. They need to know sometimes this will take 3 days to clear. 2. After funds have cleared, THEY need to organise and pay for INSURED courier, simply telling me what day the courier will collect. In the rare event something goes wrong with a courier, well, if worst comes to worst in UK, I can get in the car, drive to the firms HO and eyeball the gaffer. I can not do that in Europe. I stipulate the above for fairness to both parties. It has cost me sales, but it's the only way I will do it after a couple of expensive and worrying nightmares. NEVER PAINPal!

I know nowt about these things, I've been dumped with flogging it for my mother in law. It's pretty much unused. If collected from Wigan, you get the stool chucked in free. I will courier UK for £20 if I have to, but the stool won't be included as she burnt that box! Blurb from a shop is pasted below, they seem to be £329 new pretty much everywhere.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1456495451' post='2989636'] I agree Karl, but I find myself being a bit more picky these days - was a time I absolutely had to have any bass which I thought would be good for me. Through tons of trial and error I've come to the conclusion that I prefer maple fingerboards, with a definite lean towards Fenders and Fenderlikes. I'll leave that one to someone who'll make proper use of it....... [/quote] Snap

I bought this about a month ago. I gigged it 3 times. I never moved more than 5 feet from my amp (except soundchecking). SO, it's frankly wasted on me (unless I suddenly join a functions band or something). It is a fabulous, tiny piece of kit. Plenty here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/264519-smooth-hound-innovations-digital-wireless-guitar-system/"]http://basschat.co.u...-guitar-system/[/url] They are £150 new. This one includes a top quality, 1 foot long, receiver to amp cable, custom made for me by the legendary OBBM of this parish. £100 collected from Wigan £110 posted in UK. As I said, top class piece of kit, sadly wasted on me, cheers, Karl.

Sold thanks. TKS 1126 (2 of, 1 with tweeter 1 without)
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I have had three offers of basses for these cabs, one was very close but unfortunately 5 string. Was still tempted though. Does a 5th string make a good thumb rest Although the specs are linked in post #1............. One cab has a 12" speaker, plus a 6" mid range speaker, plus a tweeter. One cab has a 12" speaker, plus a 6" mid range speaker and NO tweeter Both cabs have thick TKS covers. As requested I have looked at courier. Due to weight, dimensions and relatively high value, EACH cab would cost just under £40 UK insured courier delivery (still £20 less than Barefaced charge for delivery on a Super Twin). As stated I'm prepared to do a decent bit of driving at no cost to buyer. Cheers, Karl. -

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1456424641' post='2988951'] Ooof that's a bit nice. Very 'Betsy'! [/quote] If you are interested, don't hesitate, that's a bargain price for a profit making retailer and I would almost guarantee Mark won't have it in the shop for long

And here's one at around the price they normally go for (thanks haimsey ). And THIS seller knows what he's doing http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Jazz_MIM_FSR_60s_RI.html If I hadn't agreed to buy a Barefaced Super Twelve two days ago ...............................

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1456313362' post='2987633'] deksawyer? [/quote] [quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1456315485' post='2987669'] Aye! I would have bought these if I hadn't ordered 2 Eich 115XS cabs at the end of last week. Timing all round sucks!! These cabs are pretty much all you could ask for and I've played through these actual cabs. Very, very nice and also light. Best of luck with the sale. D. [/quote] [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1456317429' post='2987712'] Oh, for crying out loud Karl...PM'd... [/quote] Thanks guys. Couple of pm's replied, but not much interest as yet. Yup, timing is everything . I simply had to go for the Barefaced as it might be a long time before the next with that spec comes up. And, if I don't see it in time, might miss out again. I do need to sell/trade these in the next couple of weeks though, or the B/F will have to go back up. I KNOW that would sell -

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1456300144' post='2987438'] Surprised to see these. I tried them up at Bass Gear and they are brilliant. I just opted for the S112s. Absolute ridiculous price too. Cracking bit of kit for someone. GLWTS but i dont think you'll need it [/quote] Cheers. Long been after a used Barefaced as it's 1 x 4 less trips per night, and the BF I had was a great compromise. Whilst even at my age, I can carry both of these cabs at the same time, I don't. Too many bloody doors at the gigs I do.

POSSIBLE trade ideas; Both cabs for post 2013 US Precision or Jazz. One cab for Markbass TTE 500 So that's the kind of thing I'm looking for, just to give folk an idea. CASH is obviously king though Willing to meet up between Carlisle/Stafford/Leeds at no extra cost Specifications; [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/tks-engineering-1126/"]http://www.bassgear....gineering-1126/[/url] Light at 16kgs. Powerful, oh yes One cab has tweeter, so new would be £804 One cab doesn't, so new would be £729 Both cabs have vertical option and TKS covers. Both new with this spec would be £1533 I got them a few weeks back, from Mcnach, for £800, a bargain. Superb condition. A bit of paint missing on one handle. Cash sale, £800 for both or £425 each. Only reason for sale is I've finally managed to get my favoured 1 cab solution, a Barefaced Super 12. If these don't go in a couple of weeks, I will need to consider selling that as I can't afford to keep all three . ONE of these cabs would be a good match with the Orange Bass Terror, with it's 4/8 ohm switch. Plenty of comments on TKS in the GEAR forum, Amps and Cabs Section. Any trial in Wigan. Feedback at bottom of post. Delighted to answer any questions. Cheers, Karl.
