    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?

    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.
  15. basshead56
    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.
  16. basshead56
    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!

    [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?

    [quote name='rainus5' post='809340' date='Apr 17 2010, 12:32 PM']Sorry, my last comment about slaving into a combo was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.... Thanks for your advice guys. If nothing else, you've saved me cooking my amp!!![/quote] Ah, sorry, wasn´t picking up on that-was fairly tired at that stage Best of luck with t And let us know what u decide to do
  21. basshead56
    My vote would be 1)VBA400- Amazing.Nuff said. 2) Ampeg SVT 3) Orange 4) Mesa Boogie 400+

    [quote name='orangepeelneil' post='808942' date='Apr 16 2010, 09:43 PM'][size=3]Hi, Yes I think thats right.The SVT -410HLF is also the only single (smallish!) 4 ohm cab in the range I'm also frustrated as I need single 4 ohm cab for my SVT amp, I wish some of thier other cabs were 4 Ohm. or the SVT amps has a 8 Ohm output tap for more versatility. Cheers Neil [/size][/quote] There are only 2 4ohm 4x10s in Ampeg´s current range, but there were loads of 4ohm cabs up until recently-blame LOUD Tech I guess. There was the BXT410HLF, The BSE410HLF (I have 2 of them), the current B410HLF also. And of ourse the 8x10- all 4ohm cabs.There was also an SVT18 cab at 4 ohm (anyone selling one-NAME YOUR PRICE!!!) I wish Ampegs had a three way impedance selector though-2,4 or 8 ohms-infinite cab config options. And yeah, wish my BSE410HLF-SEs had the grab bars and kick plates that their SVT counterparts have. Still, the flghtcases will have to do. Also, IMO, the best US made 4x10 Ampeg have EVER done! And they look fantastic-love the ´Merc´ type badges on the front! The SVT Classic series is just that-Classc, but knd of boring looking. I much prefer Ampegs with Silver/blue fronts-much cooler and much more vintage/retro looking! Would love to get hold of the SVT-AV and matching 8x10- Old-School Ampeg look and sound! In the words of the prophet MC Hammer, ´Proper!´

    [quote name='rainus5' post='808408' date='Apr 16 2010, 01:59 PM']Perhaps a crude idea would be to buy an Ampeg BA300, and slave into it. But I have no idea how (bad) that would sound.[/quote] ...AWFUL! Dont do that mate, whatever you do. If you are going down the Ampeg combo route, try to track down a B2 or B3 combo-both have speaker outs (again, you'd have to check the impedance for them). But I wouldn't recommend doing that-you'll have problems with line levels etc. Honestly, the 450 through an SVT HLF should be plenty loud-you're getting the max output from the amp-and its compact enough to transport. You can always DI for decent sized gigs anyway, so you'll have no hassle being heard (or felt-its an AMPEG!!! )

    I bought an Epiphone Flamekat guitar from Cash Converters on Ebay about 3 years ago. It was exactly as described. a few wee dings and a crackling pot. Paid 100 quid for it including postage to Ireland. Found out after that it had been modded before sale (active pups installed) Stripped them and the preamp,got a set of Kent Armstrong mini humbuckers, tidied the soldering and wiring, gave her a full set up and wham-the nicest guitar i own and one of the ncest ive ever played or seen! I have a Fender strat, a tele a gibson challenger and a few others-this is a super-Gretsch with an Epi badge! My ultimate rockabilly/surf guitar! Anyways, the point was, I have dealt with them through ebay and have had no ssues at all. my only problem was a week later the b*stards sold the epi case it came in seperately!!! Cant get one now as the model was dicontinued!

    Pretty sure the SVT450 is a 4 ohm min load. If you add another cab to compliment your 410hlf-you will indeed be like aladdin, surrounded by smoke! An 8ohm cab plus a four brings the load to about 2.6 ohms-well below 4 and not at all safe. and two 4ohm cabs will bring the load to 2ohms-again not the amps min load. best bet would be to get rid of the 410HLF and buy a pair of 410HE´s they are 8 ohm cabs and sound pretty good. Or either an SVT610HLF Or 8x10 With the last two, you´ll never need a second cab Most of the Ampeg tube stuff goes down to 2 ohms, as do the 4 PRO and 2 PRO (maybe the 5PRO?). A few SS Ampegs do too. My b500dr head does anyway
