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.

Lightly used rubber knobs fitted briefly to my JT bass. These are standard fit for Canadian-made basses and very nice! You can only see four sleeves in the picture but trust me there are five! These are £100 new for the set, so £75 posted seems fair.

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.

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.

Thanks Nik. Much appreciated. Hope all is good with you and yours.

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.

PRICE DROP TO £500 UK POSTED Just picked this GR Bass One 1400 up but have decided to go all in and buy the Dual version. The amp is incredibly flexible, and with two power amps (700 watts at 4 ohms each) controlled by separate master volumes there is a huge amount of power on tap. Add in bright and deep boost switches, bass, treble, low and high mids (each with three selectable eq points), and an eq bypass switch and you have all you could possibly need. Aux in, built in tuner, headphones jack with its own volume knob and a DI knob round out the front panel. The amp is well used but is fully functional. There is some system hum with the gain cranked up, but in a playing setting it's unobtrusive. Also, the amp is very loud. The gig bag is structurally sound and freshly laundered, but looks a little tired. Price includes postage in the UK.

Selling this complete setup for a bargain price. Amp has been gigged maybe three or four times and is in immaculate condition. This amp is capable of so much it's rather overwhelming to try and write it all down, but chances are if you're looking at this you know what it does so I will just link to the Boss website. The footswitch and BT adapter make the whole setup much more versatile, especially for live work, and the gig bag is a perfect fit and finishes off the setup nicely. Only selling as I am no longer using effects and am looking to go back to a simpler setup. I have the original boxes for the amp and the footswitch. Just to be clear, only the GA-FC footswitch at the bottom of the board is included in the sale.
