Bump. Bob

Hi Etienne. Thanks for those kind words! I bought a Mesa Boogie Carbine (although it says Fathom on mine) combo, and its wicked! Problem was, when I went to get it from Bass Direct, I sort of accidentally bought a Roscoe Century Standard as well, on top of the new ACG and Fender P Deluxe I bought a couple of weeks ago, so need to sell some stuff to keep my long sufferring poor wife happy! After all, its a joint bank account that pays for my toys............... Could be few more things up for grabs soon. Shuker Jazz/Sandberg Basic/PRS Mira guitar anyone? Cheers, Bob

I didnt really want to do this, but if it would help, I would split the rig, say £650 for the amp and case, and £450 for the cab/cover? Cheers, Bob

[size=4][b]GENZ BENZ GBE 750 amp and Proel rackcase[/b][/size] I have heard, GAS'sed after and now bought another amp, so my beloved Genz Benz amp is up for sale to help pay for it. In perfect condition, the amp, which puts out 675w into the cab (4ohms) is contained in a Proel lightweight rack case, and has a 5 band active eq with signal shaping, tuner mute, etc, controllable through the solid 5 button footswitch (included). There are 2 channels, valve or fet front end, mixable if required, and the sound is quite superb from either, as is the build quality. Reduced to £595. Cant possibly go any lower than this! Thanks for looking, Bob

[quote name='Rayman' post='582905' date='Aug 27 2009, 08:59 PM']Beautiful bass, and Bob's a top chap to deal with.[/quote] Thats very kind of you to say sir! Are you really giving up the bass? Bob

[size=3][b]ACG Finn fretless bass. [/b][/size] Totally mint in every way, it really pains me to sell her, as I love playing fretless for fun, but have a new (fretted) ACG nearly with me, and need to thin out the flock a little. My band does not afford any opportunities for me to gig with her, and it would be nice if someone else could get full enjoyment from this ultra-lightweight (less than 7lbs, I guess), stunning looking bass. She has both piezo pickups and a humbucker, blendable as Alan describes below. The fingerboard is lightning fast and really black ebony, with a flamed maple, laminated and asymmetrical neck. All the fittings, including straplocks, are black, and the photos do not do the bass any justice. As you all probably know, black basses can be a b****r to photograph! A mint Hiscox case is included. Here's how Alan describes the specification: Alder body with a 3 piece Flame Maple neck and Indian Ebony finger board. Alloy side dots 16" radius. Hipshot bridge with Graphtech piezo saddles and an ACG RFB pickup. ACG EQ01 pre-amp with the piezo feeding on of the low pass filters and the RFB the other. This allows full EQ over the piezo and the RFB and also allows you to blend the two. Thanks to John East for the additional electronics required to get this to work. I'm looking, please, for £875.

My Trace rig has now been sold, thanks. Bob

The bass is now sold. Many, many thanks for the other offers that, unfortunately, came after I had already promised it a basschatter. Cheers, Bob

There must be something in the air today! The NS has been on here a couple of weeks with only a couple of nibbles, then this morning, within the space of an hour, 3 Basschatters contacted me to say they would have it for the advertized price! Sorry to any of you guys who are disappointed, but I will have to let it go to the first buyer, unless of course the deal doesnt go through, in which case I hope you wont mind if I get back to you in order? I have never been in this situation before............. Cheers, Bob

This rig is now on ebay. Bob

Last bump before ebay.

A couple of years ago, I bought a new Trace Elliot 715x 1 x 15" combo, with the intention of, when funds allowed, buying a 2 x 10" cab to sit on top, as shown in the brochure, to double the power output. I gigged with the combo itself a few times, and was more than happy. Anyway, when I got round to buying the 2x10 cab, I couldnt believe that it didnt fit on top of the combo, being much deeper, and certainly not as depicted in the sales literature. I politely complained to Trace (Peavey), and was told that yes, they didnt fit as I desired, the depiction in the brochure having been Photoshopped, not photographed using real items, and apologized. They were absolutely brilliant about it, and sent an engineer to my home to remove the 715x amp itself from the cab and mounted it into a new cab with 2 x10" speakers and a horn, and exchanged my 2 x 10" cab for a 15" cab (1518c). The combo now sits beautifully on top of the 15" cab, and I have the only 2 x 10" 715x ever made! I have now moved on to Genz Benz equipment, and the Trace rig is for sale. Its been gigged about 10 times, and is in as new condition, with the exception of one tiny ding on the top of the combo where something in the van toppled over onto it in transit. It comes with the (unused) 4 way pedal and slip covers, and is a chance to own something a little bit different! Being a fairly big thing, collection would be much preferred, but I'm sure I could arrange some form of delivery if needed. I would like £600 please.

Pre - ebay bump!

The Club Bass is now sold, many thanks Richard! Bob

[quote name='fryer' post='439902' date='Mar 19 2009, 11:46 PM']Bob, there seem to be two current ranges of Hofner basses - the club bass at around £1,100 and the contemporary series at around £400. I assume yours is the more expensive type ? They look similar, but presumably they use diferent wood, pickups, etc ? What condition is yours in? And what is a bump ? Richard[/quote] Hi Richard. Mine is the real thing, made in Germany, presumably by hand using better quality materials, and its actually a limited edition model. Its in really good condition, and comes with a superb aluminium "bullet" case, specially fitted for this bass. From memory, I think its list was about £1,250, but you dont see many of them around. It has gold fittings which normal Clubs dont have as well. A bump is when you add a message to the thread, which then takes it back to the top of the pile (where more people see it) ! Bob

Next stop ebay. Is no one interested in a bargain? Bob

[quote name='fryer' post='439693' date='Mar 19 2009, 08:36 PM']Is this still for sale ? Rich[/quote] It certainly is! I keep playing it sat down, wishing I could play it stood up! Bob
