Ampeg SVT-II Original - King of valve amps! NOW SOLD
basshead56 replied to molan's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Why does this always happen to me?! Was in Oxfordshire last weekend! Would gladly kill, dismember and bury someone for this! Don´t have cash near asking price, but do have some ´easy to sell basses´ Any chance you´d be interested in my SUB, Fender Mustang (see my ads) and a touch of cash? only snag is I´m in Ireland so that might be something of a problem If not, good luck with the sale mate, Can´t see this hanging around too long, Colin -
[quote name='Count Bassie' post='828817' date='May 5 2010, 06:57 PM']Like a ballast, I guess. I've writtenBritish Audio here in the states, so I guess I'll be dealing with it shortly. Thanks dood.[/quote] Have dealt with British Audio Service before- they are great!!! Fastest shipping and service from the U.S. I´ve ever experienced. That was when I was fixing up an old Trace combo I had. worked out cheaper too!

Considering letting this go for the right price. US made Ampeg digital 4 channel amp. 500watts at 2 ohms and all in a handy, light, 2u rack-sized unit! What more do you really need? Digital controls-LED displays look amazing on stage! 4 Fully programmable/customisable channels-save the ideal eq settings for each of your basses! no messing around at gigs. Twin inputs allow two basses to be connected at the same time-saving the need to swap cables etc. All channels accesable via four-way footswitch. These were the last US designed and built amps before Ampeg sold to LOUD Tech and moved to Asia (minus the new Heritage series obviously). Soundwise-thise really does it all. Can get good SVT sounds. Have A/B´d this with the 3 PRO and picked this in the end. It isn´t as one-dimensional as the 3PRO in terms of achievable sounds and it goes down to 2ohms (seeing as all my cabs are 4 ohm) Not a scratch on it, has been in a rack since day one (I bought new). Only gigged a handful of times and never abused. Unfortunately I do not have the original box, but will include the manual and matching Ampeg MIDI footswitch. Please Note: Neither the 4U Rack case nor Fender Rack Tuner are for sale. This is for the AMP ONLY!!! Looking for offers around the [s]420 mark[/s] now [b]400[/b]+ shipping. Based in Ireland.

Hi, Selling on another bass I rarely get to use. Comes with an original vintage 1960's Fender case (not a new/reissue one!) which cost a lot to get a few months ago! List Price on Thomann is over €700 without case-case is 180 euros and mine is a proper vintage one, not a reissue! [b]Now Including Fender Neoprene strap and locks![/b] It is in fantastic ondition. no issues whatsoever! Only one tiny (I do mean tiny) nick shown in pics. No buckle rash. Was only used for a few hours here and there. The pic of the back shows what looks like a mark-it isn´t, its clean as a very clean whistle. Again, no rush to sell this so if I dont get near asking, I'll keep it-doesn't take up [i]that much[/i] space! Not interested in any other items at present, so not not keen on trades (plus I´m in Ireland so it´d be a pain) Looking for [b]£430[/b] + shipping (based in Ireland) ps, see my other listing for a MM SUB ´Emergenza Edition´ w/ case -450 pounds+shipping " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> Colin edited for price drop

Surplus to requirements USA made Musicman SUB bass 4 String Active, on board EQ Burgundy Red colour Black pickguard (It did not come with a diamond plate one like the standard model) This is from a special run of the S.U.B. basses- it is the Emergenza Edition- it was a prize at the Italian Emergenza Festival and has special logo and graphic as part of the finish on the back (nothing on the front). These were made especially for this battle of the bands competition (as Ernie Ball was the main guitar sponsor) and was never for sale in shops. Feel free to Google it Great condition, few tiny nicks here and there. One tin on the tip of headstock and one on the lower bout of the body. May need new strings and a quick set up (hasnt been done in a long time). There's also a sticker on the pickguard, but it can be easily removed without leaving marks. I will include a Warwick Rockcase heavy duty flight case- the BIG cases, leather strap and Ernie Ball cable. Priced to sell at [b]435[/b] plus shipping (I am based in Ireland) I'm in no rush to sell, so won't be moving too much on the price-would be nice to give her to a good home though and free up some space! Not interested in trades AT ALL!!-have way too many basses,amps and guitars as is pics to follow in the next few days Thanks for looking, Colin " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> " class="ipsImage" /> Edited for price drop

Saw one of these listed locally, but it needs 4 new drivers. Where would I get these?

Anyone ever bought a prized instrument from Cash Converters?
basshead56 replied to Grand Wazoo's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='luckman67' post='814298' date='Apr 21 2010, 09:17 PM']I am looking into changing the scratchplate,have you any pictures of yours with the black pg.[/quote] No individual shot of it, but I have one or two in a group shot here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64948&hl=my+family"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=my+family[/url] As you can see, I put a Lucky 13 red decal over the pg, but it only covers a tiny bit-you get the idea They are lovely basses-well done again -
I've jettisoned the low "B" string.
basshead56 replied to jazzyitalian's topic in General Discussion
Good move. and +1 for doing so I did this last year on my Gibson Thunderbird Studio V and I have to say, I love it. Never liked the low b sound- too heavy metal or something I bought a set of D´Addarios Chromes 6 (for 6er bass) and just didnt use the last one Love the sound of my T-Bird now! It suits the kind of stuff I´m playing with the bands now perfectly. Never had a 5 string before that, but am starting to use it live more and more now. Will have to get a 5 string Fender though if I decide to use a 5er as my main bass-have to keep up appearances as ´the Fender guy´! -

[quote name='luckman67' post='811884' date='Apr 19 2010, 09:07 PM']I bought this on Saturday for £99.99[/quote] Have the same one in the same fiinish. Great basses. well done on the price man! Stick a black pg on her though-looks much cooler -
named em all-all girl´s names too. Cant help it. My first one I named cause there was a story to it, the rest just sort of happened- some basses have character and that gives rise to the imagining of a personality- and the names reflect the percieved personality- at least for me anyways

it´s basically a series/paralell switch. On a P Bass,once activated, it makes it sound more like a Jazzbass. The opposite is true for the Jazz. Simples Oh, and it hasn´t anything to do with active circuits so, yeah, if it´s off, you have a passive P Bass tone. On, you have a passive Jazz(ish) tone.

[quote name='stilllifebass' post='811812' date='Apr 19 2010, 08:30 PM']Hey guys - a good friend of mine has said he can get hold Orange bass heads/cabs at knock-down prices (all perfectly legit, I promise! ). I'm playing in a rock/pop/alternative 5-piece, nothing too heavy but the bass sound I'm looking forward to is a decent punchy bottome-end with nice rounded mid to high end tone. I play a Status Graphite Series I, originally through a Trace Elliott AH300-12 (sadly now defunct) and a Peavey 4 x 10 cab. I'm looking to play small to medium-sized venues for now. For those of you who know the Orange amps, would the Terror bass 500 head carry enough punch for these size venues (I presume at 500W it would be!) and is it suitable for the tone I'm looking for? Ideally I'm looking to avoid that "metallic" sound that some amps naturally produce (eg Ampeg). Any thoughts much appreciated! Dave[/quote] What´s he reckon a ´knock down price´ for these is then? Where´s he getting them from. Am looking for a Terror Bass aswell.

As someone who has 2x410s and 2x412s- go with the 12´s! much bigger sound! Always loved 10´s, but the 12´s just have something more IMO.

Sieanna Sunburst I do believe. I have a 78 Precision in that colour.

Had one for about 6 months (the first run of 100w 1x15 ones) No problems with volume- seriously loud. Sold it on, but wish i had kept it sometimes, just for small gigs and that. Well worth the lttle money involved.

Ampeg 8x10 saves lives in car crash...
basshead56 replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
Lucky it wasn´t a pair of 4x10s! Hope Ampeg send him a new one after that! -
Bought Steviedee's Palatino EUB. It arrived this morning in tip top condition, only put it down to type this! A gentleman to deal with, would easily recommend him as a seller!

VBC 8x10 owned by Iron maiden, motorhead and gallows
basshead56 replied to s1ater's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
[quote name='joegarcia' post='809897' date='Apr 17 2010, 10:23 PM']Yea I saw that. Ridiculously overpriced though.[/quote] Thought about getting one of these before I got the second VBC412. What is a good price for a second-hand one of these monsters? How do they compare to the Ampeg 8x10s?
