Still for sale?

Thanks Ash!

Some close up pics of the headstock lacquer issue would be useful too ;0)

Hi - beautiful bass! Could you tell me the width of the neck at the nut please? Gary :0)

So tempted.... again.....

Bump for the weekend

Damn fine player and the nicest man you could ever wish to meet! I'd buy this if I didn't already have one...

Now sold

Bump for the weekend

Very nice! Anyone know if these are definitely DiMarzios fitted to these basses as standard?

Ok - let me know...

Bump for the weekend!

These are brilliant! They make sound engineers love you! Gary :0)

A few nibbles but no bites as yet ...

I'd like it too - then I'd have a choice of a Road Ready or a (possibly fractionally lighter) standard vinyl covered one plus be able use them both to listen to Dark Side of the Moon with the 400+ :0)

Easter Bump!

New pictures today :0) As you can see this really is immaculate and been very well looked after.

Thanks BassPimp - a few SWR heads on here at the moment but this is the real deal!

Still for sale!

One SWR SM500 amp - I have had this since new circa 2002 I think. Always been flightcased hence immaculate. Never ever let me down (unlike certain other amps I own) Until recently these were up for sale on BassDirect for £1700.00 or so! Beautiful amp, great sound, nice growl if you need it, compressor/limiter, aural enhancer etc. [s]£575.00[/s] [b]£475.00[/b] plus postage. NO TRADES More detailed pics to follow Please note - flightcase and tuner not for sale. (Actually I may sell the flightcase but it is an as new 6 months old Flightcase warehouse £120.00 so can't "throw" that into the deal I am afraid) Here's the spec from the SWR website: SWR SM-500 Head This is where it all started! The SM-500 is a direct descendant of the original SWR amplifier, the world-famous SM-400. Often copied but never matched, the SM-500 features the original SWR tube preamp and a four-band graphic/semi-parametric EQ so that your best tone can be dialed in - regardless of the playing situation. Over the years SWR have added features like a side-chain effects loop, a stereo master volume control and transparency (for the crystalline highs), but this is essentially the same amplifier that started a revolution in bass amplification back in the early 1980s - and nothing else sounds quite like it!
