Still here, had some interest but nothing concrete...

Not really playing much any more, and can't see me doing so in the immediate future, so this is really just taking up space - all of it bought from 'round these parts, and I'm making a loss! 300W Ashdown ABM EVOII head (the older UK-built type, that're actually reliable ), plus an unbadged Ashdown 'overrun' UK ABM cab, which has been retro-fitted with a Jensen NEO 300W 8 ohm speaker (plus original tweeter) to cut down the weight (as well as having castors fitted). Totally giggable 300W rig, without stupid amounts of weight and the option to add an second eight ohm cab should you feel the need to go a bit silly The amp head's details can be found here: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=5"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=5[/url] Obviously collection-only from Walsall, West Midlands or can meet up within twenty miles or so - I'm after £300 for this rig (including mains and speaker cables), no offers as I'm clearing house.

Two wall hangers, cowbell and Studiomaster gone, but from a rummage through my bookshelves I can do without this little lot: Kiss Alive II Lea Delaria - The Best Of Faster Pussycat - Greatest Hits Brad - Shame (side-project of Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam) Ella Fitzgerald - The Reprise Years Reed KD - The Ashes Bloom Hanoi Rocks - Decadent, Dangerous and Delicious (2CD Best of) N*E*R*D - Fly Or Die A vs Monkey Kong Napalm Death - Greed Killing Dog Eat Dog - Play Games Presidents of the USA - II Tribute To Nothing - This Is Freedom? Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish....(special edition 2CD) Manic St Preachers - This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours (limited edition embossed case with booklet) Presidents of the USA - PUSA (2CD) £2.50 each delivered. Books: 90s chart TAB book - Place Your Hands, Alright, Basket Case, Bohemian Rhapsody (?!), I Think I'm Paranoid, Marblehead Johnson, Pumping On You Stereo, Save Tonight, Secret Smile, Stairway To Heaven (!?!?) - £3 delivered Bush - Just The Riffs (stuff from the first two albums) - £2.50 delivered Classic Blues Bass Jam (with CD) - Look At Little Sister, Born Under A Bad Sign, La Grange, Bad To The Bone, Stormy Monday, Hideaway - £3 delivered Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sugar And Spice (biography) - £2.50 delivered R.E.M - Man On The Moon (full band transcription with three or four guitar parts, bass and drum notation/TAB) - £2.50 delivered Play Guitar With The 80s (with CD) - Addicted To Love, Don't You (Forget About Me), Going Underground, Message In A Bottle, Money For Nothing, Need You Tonight, Where The Streets Have No Name, You Give Love A Bad Name - £3.50 delivered Essential Rock 2k - All Star, Come On Come On, Then The Morning Comes (Smash Mounth), Ashes Would Fall (Melissa Etheridge), Bawitdaba, Cowboy, Only God Knows Why (Kid Rock), Enemy, The Real, Weapon And The Wound (Days of the New), Every Morning, Falls Apart, Someday (Sugar Ray), Maria Maria, Smooth (Santana) - £3.50 delivered Live - Mental Jewelry (£2.50 delivered) SoundCheck - The Basics of Sound and Sound Systems (brilliant book for anyone trying to get to grips with PA systems and suchlike) - £5 delivered And might as well give it a go - VW service manual for Golfs and Polos 1974-2001, Jettas, Corrados and Sciroccos 1974-1992 - this is weighty, so £5 delivered again. And finally a couple of hi-fi bits - Technics SL-PG490 CD player, decent bit of kit with optical outputs and a few bells and whistles (no remote though) - £20 delivered NAD analogue AM/FM tuner - £15 delivered. I've also got a chuffing huge rotating CD tower that I can now do without, holds about 500 discs - got to see if it'll come apart though, as there's NO way of posting it as it is.

Oooohhhhhh, lovely lovely lovely - haven't got the cash to buy outright, don't suppose you'd be interested in trade-plus-cash-your-way for a Bass Collection SB441 would you? I've got better pictures somewhere, I'll dig 'em out if you might be interested...

I had one of those DPCs, stupid amount of power for the weight (certainly five years ago or whenever I had mine - apparently the technology's evolved a bit by now, but still...) - they're very deep though, need a full-depth rack and even then I bought one rack that wouldn't fit it. And yes, they do only run bridged into eight ohms safely; I daresay it would run into four ohms but possibly nor for very long. Still, £250's a decent price for a solid, US-made 700-odd Watt rig...

Well, the clearout continues...found a few more things I can do without: Three guitar wall hangers, they've got a lower case 'b' on the back of them if that gives anyone a clue as to the make - £6 each delivered TWO GONE, ONE LEFT! Complete with screws, although two of the screws are longer steel ones rather than the black ones supplied - I had to do some emergency 'modifiation' having found out that part of my wall wasn't as stable as the rest One for the drummers, a well-used but still great-sounding Rostek Percussion cowbell with Tama cymbal stand mount - GONE! The non-music stuff - a 'his and hers' pair Swissline watches, I've used the men's one a handful of times but it's still in perfect nick, the ladies' one's unused (and the battery's run out, but they're a couple of quid tops). In presentation case, tenner delievered if you want 'em as I've no use for them! And something my ex left behind and doesn't want back - Nicky Clarke Pro-Ceramic digitial curling tongs (no, I haven't a clue either). New and unused, Christ knows why she bought them as she already had some apparently 'top-of-the-line' ones - these look to be about twenty quid new, so eight quid delivered just to get them out of my way. And a long shot, but you never know - I've got a Studiomaster PowerPack 400 eight-channel powered mixer (four mic, four stereo line channels) which has some kind of weird fault with the amp board which I'm unlikely to have the time to sort out. GONE! There'll probably be some more stuff coming as I transfer things into storage, watch this space...
