[quote name='Matty' post='90372' date='Nov 18 2007, 05:46 PM']Have these guys all got somethign reserved? Or would you still sell the rig as a whole?[/quote] There is interest Matty but not on the whole rig at the price I want to sell it for. If you're interested, the price is £950 delivered by me.

Forgot to mention that the J-Retro & Hipshot were fitted by The Bass Gallery and I have the receipts to prove it. I know you can import these from the States at lower prices but just to put this deal into context, if you walked into The Gallery and bought this new and then asked Alex to supply and fit the J-Retro and Hipshot and then add the 2 pickguards from Jeannies, you'd have very little change out of £1500.

Preferring the passive sound, I've been thinking of removing the J-Retro from this and putting the old pots back in. But, this is a superb bass as it is and because it looks the biz with the J-Retro I think it would be a shame to spoil it and I know someone else will be happier than I am with the intricacies and wide tonal range of the J-Retro. This bass is in superb condition and is a great player, the neck is the best I've played. It has enormous bottom end and slaps like a mofo. It has a Hipshot thingy that drops the E to D. I paid £730 for this with the standard white pickguard and a gig bag (not great) then spent another £50 on 2 Jeannie's pickguards and £30 on some new DR Sunbeams. Oh and I bought a Hiscox Lifelite case for it but I'll probably keep that depending on what I buy after this. I'm not desperate to sell but I have severe P GAS. Prices are as follows: Bass, standard white p/g and original pots / gig bag - £730 Bass, standard white p/g plus the black one fitted - £740 Black cherry tort p/g - £22 (cost £35 with postage & customs sting) The Hiscox case is negotiable but it's brand new and unmarked. As usual will deliver within a reasonable distance / meet halfway. I don't like shipping basses. Trades are welcome with cash either way, but I'm fussy and please don't take the piss with stupid offers. More pics on request. Please note the black cherry pickguard does not quite meet the control plate as is normal I believe for Jeannie's.

[quote name='ian' post='88440' date='Nov 14 2007, 02:51 PM']reduced to evil bay gutted [/quote] It's unbelievable that you can't sell this gorgeous bass Ian - I was tempted myself but every time I buy a 5er, I end up selling it after a couple of weeks. It seems that you can't give stuff away these days - good luck mate.

All PMs replied to, my oh my this is all getting very confusing :wacko:

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='86910' date='Nov 11 2007, 03:56 PM']Homer Where did you get your Rack Spacer with the access hole for the Jack leads? I've been looking everywhere for one. Cheers[/quote] I bought it with the rack case from Electromusic - the hole was drilled by a technician in our maintenance department and I borrowed the grommet from our spares department.

Using both cabs together, you get a moderate increase in volume because the head's running at 4 ohms plus the additional 12" of air being moved. The 112 adds mids and clarity to the deeper sounding 212 which makes the rig much easier to hear on stage - not least because of the fact you have a speaker closer to your ear. I would say it works ok for some situations but in some rooms I've got a better sound using the 212 on its own - presumably because it's getting all of the juice from the head. That said, I've yet to encounter a room yet where the 212 can't cope on it's own.

My band's DIing now since we've upgraded our PA. Last night at the lesbian wedding, I used my new EBS Microbass into the desk and it was a great success so I really don't need this rig anymore and want to sell to fund a good quality light 'n loud combo for stage monitoring. The head is just over one year old, the 2x12 is about 4 months old and the 1x12 is about a month old - all bought brand new. There are a couple of extremely minor marks here and there but it's in as good a nick as anything you'll see masquerading as new in some stores. This is a very loud rig - the 1001RBII head is 700 watts + another 50 for the horn system, the 212 is 600 watts (8 ohm) and the 112 is 300 watts (8 ohm), it's also very light. It also sounds fantastic - clean and punchy or warm and growly if you dial in some boost. I realise I've got two chances of selling the whole thing as one - ie; Bob Hope and no hope but if I have to sell separately, I will but please be aware, I won't let anything go until I'm in the ball park money-wise for my new combo but I'll hold items for interested parties. I'm in a busy band and need something to gig with. Prices: Head - £350 (paid £539 new) 212 neo - £350 (paid £524) 112 neo - £250 (paid £309) SKB rack case - £40 (paid £85) Korg Tuner DTR 1000 - £75 (paid £130) Buy the lot and you can have it for £950 delivered / meet halfway. Will consider trades for suitable equipment. More pics on request. Bit of missing chrome as delivered from the store...

Cab still for sale. I would consider trades for another 212 neo + cash from me or even my 212 neo for your 112 neo plus cash from you. Will also consider trades for maybe a Jap P or similar.

What sort of condition are they in? Sorry I'm fussy and I don't want to put anything scratched or bent on my pristine Sterling.
