Bought a GK MB800 from Ash. Communicated well. 
He promptly posted it, it arrived well packed, safe & sound. 
A pleasure to deal with, recommended. 
Thanks, Steve.

Hi

I’d like this if it’s still available?

The original post does say Newport Pagnell.

I’m the seller.

I was asking Lee where he is as I might be going on holiday and you never know.

Where are you?

I’m afraid not as I’m disabled and it would be too much hassle.

Price reduced 1/8/18. No further reduction will be made. 

Having recently bought a Berg NV115 here on the forum, I’ve finally got round to putting up my Berg 112s. I can’t really play any more never mind gig so they’ve basically sat looking pretty for the past seven years. Like most other things bass, I bought them from Bass Direct.

Bergantino Model HT112ER specifications: 

1. •1 x 12" cast frame woofer w/ 80oz. magnet, vented pole piece

2. •high intelligibility 1" tweeter

3. •power handling - 350 watts rms

4. •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control

5. •frequency response: 40hz - 18khz

6. •sensitivity: 98.5db • anechoic: 2.83v/1m

7. •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors

8. •impedance: 8 ohms

9. •dimensions: 15 3/4"H x 18-1/2"W x 15"D

10. •40cm x 47cm x 38cm

11. •weight: 39lbs/17.7Kgs

12. •Padded/fitted cover £60

13. •This cab works well with high power amplifiers from 300 - 500w at 8Ω

Looking for £675 for the pair. Would prefer them to be sold as a pair.

Reduced to £600. No further reductions will be made, this is the very lowest I will go. It’s a VERY GOOD PRICE for these fantastic cabs.

I’m in Newport Pagnell, around a mile or so from M1 j14. 

Where abouts are you?

Bought a Berg NV115 from Chris yesterday. He very kindly delivered it to my house and played my basses for a while, all the while being patient while I looked for songs on my IPad, my memory and speech not being what it was since my stroke. 

He, like many before him on this forum, showed me that there are good hearted people around us, many of them in the music world. 

Thank you Chris. Highly recommended. 

Steve

Sorry for that Dad. I’ll know next time. 👍

I wouldn’t be gigging any longer and basically would just be using it to practise at home. Just neater. 

What amp do you use? I have a Streamliner 900, so it ought to be plenty loud for the house! 

Is this still here? 🤔 I’m considering stopping my two Berg 112s for one on these.

The bass is sold.

See you in another seven years fellas. Thanks for all the kindness. 🙏

Sure thing.

I’ll pay if you buy my bass. 🤔🤣

It might be sold already, just waiting for the confirmation.

No, I remember the bass well, but not who owned it!  I think Steve Bird had it for a while before getting the white AC that belonged to Paul Turner.

The AC that HappyJack mentions was a Antigua Five String Precision AC that I bought new from the place near Colchester area, I can’t remember the name. Come to think of it, I can’t remember much, can I. 😜

Wow. Thanks for the kind messages.

It’s good to be back fellas, if only for a short visit. (Hopefully!) 🤔

I realise now that I was a better player than I thought I was. Well, if enthusiasm counts, then definitely!

Good to see you back Flanker. I well remember driving up to MK-ish to meet you, but I'm now struggling to remember if it was an Alleva-Coppolo I was buying from you!

 

Yes Jack, I remember you too, you had a BMW, did I have mine then, or still my old Soarer. It was the Five String Alleva Coppolo Precision, do you still have it?

Thanks Chris. It is difficult, like flying, I have had to let the bass go. In fact, I have found it easier to let go of aeroplanes than I have playing the bass. But I’m doing ok, in fact, I’ve learned a hell of a lot. 😊

On the slight chance that it may help. I wanted to get a MIJ Precision or similar so I could still have a four string to ‘play’. 😊

Sorry, I forgot your name and thought the previous owner was Warwickhunt. I knew it had spent time in the North East, do you still live there? 

Lightweight ‘74 Fender Precision I traded for my Five String P Bass after I had a stroke seven years ago. I had hoped that I might eventually regain some playing ability, and still vaguely do, but owning a nice Skjold and this Fender is daft, and I have better uses for my cash. I’ll keep the Skjold, but  both these basses deserve better than more or less permanently hanging on a wall.

The guys at Bass Direct loved this Bass when I took it there last year to get fitted with strap-locks. Unfortunately Mark wasn’t there but Marcus and the other guy working there said it was a nice Bass, so nice that one of them offered to buy it from me, but at that stage I wasn’t selling. Believe me, I still wish I wasn’t.

I am in Milton Keynes, and really don’t want to post this Bass. It came with a hard case, but no metalwork. I’d prefer to wait until someone could pick it up in person, though I am willing to drive an hour in any direction except South into London to meet up.

I don’t know if they still hang out here, but I used to deal with Platypus, Terry Day, HappyJack and many more and I think this bass used to belong to Warwickhunt. 

I’ve probably forgotten loads, my number is 07976 827138.

Thanks. It’s a lovely bass that deserves to be played.

I like the look of the B1500 amp, by all accounts great value too.

How can you find the total cost including shipping etc?

I'm thinking of doing exactly that with my Puma 500 !

I was the original owner of this very GBE750 and it is a great head.

[code]Sensitively suggests? Jeez.[/code]

I've heard you are very sensitive and also a kind person. -_-

BTW as another previous owner of the bass I would be disappointed to see it change.

Don't know who said that but I think the Puma has the fattest tone of the lightweight heads I have tried.

Here is an early impression that KJung (of Talkbass fame) had when he picked up his Puma500.

[quote]The Puma reminds me A LOT of my old Glock Heartrock. The word 'creamy' comes to mind for me (as it did with the Heartrock/Soul). It's not so much a 'bap bap bap' tight, transparent tone like the LMII as a very fat, deep, organic low end, very even mids, and a very, very hi fi, clean top end.[/quote]

I've withdrawn the amp from sale for now because I bought a Aggie GS112 which is great value and sounds great with the BagEnd too,so I don't have to sell the amp for now. I'll see how it sounds over the next few weeks and make a decision then.

Thanks ..............'The Moon'

I've just added a Aggie GS112 to my BagEnd and am very pleased with the tone so I am withdrawing this for the time being.
