The singer in my band used to be a bassist many moons ago and he has a '75 P Bass, which I use every now and then because its fantastic. It's one of the few basses I think actually gets [i]better[/i] everytime I play it. Really great tone to it... particularly when I put it through his old Sound City valve amp!

+1 to the Guinness approach. Although I found that having three bottles of Newky Brown on stage last week was rather pleasant.

I think my routine is very similar to gafbass's - set up quickly then drink and smoke. Talk to the audience etc...

Me again... continuing the clearout of cabs from my (small) house! After I recently acquired my dream cab I finally had to take heed of the missus and agree that we are runing out of space for large bass cabs in my dinky terrace house. So, it is with a heavy heart, a lack of space under the stairs, a feeling of nostalgia (and a need to raise a few quid after aforementioned purchase) that im putting this cab up for sale. This baby has done more gigs for me than anything else ive ever owned - its been with me ever since I moved on from combos. I used to use it with a 2x10 ADD cab on top, and that combination seemed to work really well with my Trace 300w head. The cab itself is rated at 300w, 8ohm and has a big phat 15" and a 10" cone in it. There is lots of interesting techy nerdy stuff that's way over my head about these and Bi-amping etc etc at [url="http://www.britishaudioservice.com/inst/SERIES%206.pdf"]http://www.britishaudioservice.com/inst/SERIES%206.pdf[/url] should that interest you. Like I say, it has seen a fair bit of action... there's a rip or two in the covering on the back, and the cover plate is gone where it used to be over the bi-amp socket connectors... but it still sounds good and does what ya need it to, its a Trace! It is quite a chunky cab as you can see from the pics and as such I dont want to be couriering / posting it etc due to its size so pickup is preferred, plus that way you dont have to worry about couriers busting it (it happens) and you can try it out bfeore you buy so you can see it works. I dont mind taking a day off work (I can easily drink coffee all day whilst waiting) if a weekday is preferable for people to come and get it. Price wise im looking at roundabout the £125 mark... or any interesting offers that dont involve more large bass cabs ;-) Cheers guys/gals - pics as below. Stag PS - as mentioned on my other "for sale" thread, Dood the Mod knows where I live, and see him most weeks, so buy with confidence.

Evening peoples... I have for sale a very nice Ampeg BSE410HLF, due to a recent cab upgrade. This is one of the carpet covered jobbies, and is in very good nick indeed and was owned previously by another Basschatter in case anyone has seen it before! It has had a recent service, and at the time of the service also has castors fitted on it to make it more portable, but you can take these off if you see fit to do so I guess. It is rated at 400w (I didnt drive it anywhere near HARD at any time) and is a 4 ohm one, so perhaps it might interest someone out there who wants to downsize their rig a little? These are going for £399 secondhand at mansons.co.uk which might be (correctly) considered to be a little steep, so im looking for £215 for this. They had two of these last week and now only have one... One other thing - I would rather the buyer picked up as its just a lot easier to deal in person, and ive never arranged for couriers for stuff before, plus it also removes the possibility of it being broken in transit - however if you want to arrange and pay for a courier I can be flexible and take a day off work drinking coffee waiting for a courier to arrive to pick it up for you. Im in Norwich (usually down the pub) . Techy Blurb : Product Description Features: Impedance: 4 ohms * Crossover frequency: 4kHz * Frequency response: 50Hz-18kHz * 400W RMS, 800W program power handling * Sensitivity: 99dB * 22-3/4"W x 25-3/4"H x 17-1/2"D * 91 lbs. Cheers! Stag PS - Dood the Mod knows where I live, and he's a lot bigger than me, so buy with confidence! lol

Well... after seeing that... and doing a bit of price research... I got my own, for even less than what was paid above, and mine is one of the last USA ones, which was a nice added bonus (not that im knockin's the Vietnam ones at all). The chaps at the shop even gave me a Speakon connector FOC as well. Top guys, who also fashioned a protective cardboard cover out of other boxes with a stanley knife for me to take it home in. It is awesome. As mentioned above - menacing. Its set up downstairs at the moment and hasnt been moved because i just like looking at it. Fearsome power as well - im not using it above 0.5 volume on the amp (B2RE) and its shaking the floorboards. With my Ric and a pick you can nail that Ric/Ampeg tone in seconds. I am so proud of it that I had to take a piccie of it and my basses. Sadly I am in the picture as well, but hey, you`ll get over that I hope. [attachment=25916:gear1024.jpg]

HAS to be a Rickenbacker 4080. Then, the rest of the money you have left over can pay for a good chiropractor.

[quote name='pobolycwm' post='490459' date='May 17 2009, 12:23 PM']i did find some old japcrap bass in my loft called an itchifani the g-string was quite rough[/quote] lol @ that. In all seriousness, a friend of mine was employed to clean out a rich person's loft, and they told him to chuck everything out that he found in there. He found a Rickenbacker guitar, which he did not chuck out. Now thats a find...

Of course I would love an 8x10 but I am a weed and cannot lift that kind of behemoth, or fit it in the car. But if it solved your GAS for the big bad 8x10 .... can only be a good thing (for your back) ;-)

[quote name='JackLondon' post='488738' date='May 15 2009, 12:03 PM']Well If you gor for Alex's Big One you'll have £149 left so quite a lot of beer money [/quote] Correct - at the current Guinness Exchange Rate (GER) in my local boozer that makes 46.56 pints. Result

So thats +2 for Barefaced so far.... interesting...

Beer money = good

True sir, but surely these shops would be aware that getting some money in the till than not (particularly since they are currently advertising at a cheaper price) is paramount in the current economic climate?

Ive been seriously considering buying a new cab. The one I have isnt quite loud enough... its a nice sound, but could just be a lil' louder (our drummer is a very VERY loud drummer). Henceforth I went looking for one, and found what I think would fit the bill. The price of said cab at a number of local (and online) retailers was £799. Not a small spend (I know a lot of you guys have your Aggies / Epi's etc that cost considerably more, but to me thats a fair bit of bunce gone out of back pocket) but I was prepared to do it... and hopefully cure any residual GAS for some time. First local shop - only got one left, have now sold it, if we get another in the price will be £999 Second local shop - we cant get any at that price now, it will be £1049 First online retailer - we havent got any left. If we get anymore the price will change for the worse Second online retailer - we havent got them anymore. Would you like a 8x10 instead than you will need a truck to shift it with? the truck does not come free with cab though im afraid, sir. Quite simply - why does the price change so drastically from one day to another dependant on stock? maybe im just miffed. and dood - I apologise for my incessant dribbling about this subject for the past week. lol

Deacon - probably the first "real" understanding I had of bass was through him and Another One Bites The Dust as a young chap a while ago listening to my Dad's vinyls. I went to see Queen & PR at Hyde Park and it just wasnt the same without him, even with the lack of Freddie. Legend. And yes Dood, was very spooky this thread appeared on the same day as our nerdy "Deacon's scratchplate" conversation! lol
