After much experimentation over the last few months, I have now settled on my preferred strings for each of my basses, so these unused sets are all up for sale. All prices are posted per set, but happy to combine and discount for multiple purchases. GHS Pressurewound (39.25" winding and custom made to fit Dingwall basses and imported from the US) - £40 3 x Newtone Platinum nickel roundwounds on round cores - (2 x 37" and 1 x 38" ball end to taper) - £35 2 x GHS Brite Flat groundwounds (38" ball end to taper) - £38 1 x Elites Groundwounds (38" apart from the B, which is 37.25" I think) - £30 Thanks for looking.

Given my impending redundancy I am thinning my collection of music gear, and here we have two of these most excellent cabs for sale, handmade in Germany by Hans Struck. Both are in very good to mint condition and come with high quality padded sleeves custom-made by Hot Covers here in the UK. Pricing these is difficult as they are rare in the UK, and to import them now from Germany would (I believe) attract import duties as well as shipping. I am asking £500 for the 1210 and £300 for the 112, and the cabs are collection only. I've used stock photos as holding images, but please note that the cabs in these images have tweeters fitted whereas mine do not. 120UL This cab has a 12" neo speaker at the bottom and a 10" neo speaker at the top. There is no tweeter. Power handling is 600 watts RMS and the dimensions are 65.5cm high, 41.5cm wide and 41 cm deep. Weight is quoted at 17.3 kg but I recall it being more like 14 kg. Impedance 4 ohms. To quote the FMC site "The speaker sounds more powerful than a 210, it has the transparency of the 10" and the bulkiness and centre focus of the 12" speaker. Altogether a modern and open-sounding box with plenty of depth. New price in Germany is €754 (£641). A really good one cab solution for small to medium size pubs and suchlike. 112UL As simple as it gets, this cab has a 12" neo speaker. There is no tweeter. Power handling is 300 watts RMS and the dimensions are 45cm high, 42cm wide and 41 cm deep. Weight is quoted at 11 kg. Impedance 8 ohms. To quote the FMC site "Super light 1x12" boxes with small dimensions. Equipped with neodymium speakers from the brand manufacturer Sica. With our innovative downfire bass reflex system, a voluminous bass that is also sufficient for 5 strings. The forced mids make the speaker very easy to locate in the band structure. New price in Germany is €545 (£463). Perfect for rehearsals and small gigs.

I pulled this as the new price has dropped below £500 now. However, on reflection I think £600 for the amp in mint condition, plus the bluetooth adapter, footswitch and carry bag is still a good deal, so it's back up again.

I've had these a while, using them in various amps with valve preamp stages, but my move away from such amps means they are now surplus: Mullard ECC83 - code B6B3 means made in Blackburn, third week of February in either 1956, 1966 or 1976 = £50 Mullard ECC83 - (code backward3)91 means made in Chelmsford for Mullard by Marconi, but not sure how to date the rest = £50 Mullard ECC81 - no code that I can see = £25 Caveat Emptor: I have tested them in my Demeter amp and they are all working fine at time of writing, but as always with old valves be aware they can fail at any time. Please do bear that in mind before you buy.
