Sad to hear that Heistercamp straps will be closing at the end of May, as the owners have decided to retire.  I absolutely love their stuff, superb quality straps, so if you want to treat yourself I'd get in quick!

Now £700 (new gen) and £600 (old gen) respectively.

The guitarist in my acoustic trio has a Goodall and it is just stunning.  This looks beautiful.

@HazBeen Sorry, but I can’t really help on longevity as I moved away from these strings pretty quickly.  Half step down would probably work though.

Here we have a very nice brace of GR Bass cabs. One is the current style and one is the previous version with metal grille.

4 ohms impedance

600 watts

W: 52 x 33.5 x H: 57 cm

Just 9 Kg, or 19.8 lbs in old money!

35 Hz to 22 kHz

103 dB SPL

Horn Driver 1" with low/half/full position switch

Both are in very good condition overall, each one has one significant bump as shown in the pictures. Both come with GR Bass covers.

Newer version £750, older version £650, or buy both for a little discount

Collection preferred, but happy to drive about an hour from NE Hants to help seal a deal.

Once again I have forgotten to add proof of ownership in the pictures! Happy to re-snap if anyone wants me to.

Here's the older gen cab.

And this one is the current model.

I sold a pedal to Stu. Super smooth sale and he's a credit to the BC massive.  Thanks buddy!

Can't believe it's a decade now since I bought this bass!  I still love it to bits 😁

Lusithand F1.  I have missed the Wal tone and this thing nails it. 🤘🏻

Only picked this up a few weeks ago, but with the addition of a Lusithand F1 I really don’t need both on my board.

Fantatstic pedal for EQ shaping and/or drive.  Simple to use.  Sounds fab. UK made.

Mint condition and works perfectly.  Price includes postage.

Ah, very cool. Gets way more out of that pedal I guess then.

Exactly. Line up all the effects I use and hide the ones I don't via the software, and then scroll through them on the footswitch. So much quicker!

Nice and clean.
What do you use the Ampero Switch for?

Thanks.  The Ampero just scrolls the HX One effects up and down, which is much easier than changing them manually. 

A slight change to my pedalboard with the addition of the Lusithand F1 filter preamp.  It’s so nice to be able to create those thick Wal tones with this addition❤️

Lovely stuff. I'm so glad Paul inherited the business from Pete so the legacy could carry on it the hands of someone who gets it.

I’m thinking of dropping a filter-based system into my fretless and was wondering if anyone has compared the above two preamps?  If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I used this to power a Providence DBS, but as I no longer have that unit it's now just boxed away doing nothing.

POWER - 9v in/ 12v 1000 mA out

PLUG - 2.1mm Centre Neg

WEIGHT - 0.05kg / 0.1lbs

DIMENSIONS - 8cm x 2cm x 4cm / 3.15" x 0.79" x "1.57

Excellent condition. Price includes postage.

Sweet!

I just noticed that on the photo of the back of the combo it actually states 2.7 ohms minimum load. 

Nice, thanks.

Can you run a 4 ohm extension cab with this combo, or will the amp only take a second 8 ohm cab?

These are brilliant!  I recently picked one up and just run it clean.  Sounds fab 👍🏻

I sold a lovely Dingwall bass to Steve. He was a pleasure to deal with.

These are great amps.  Way better than the 800 version with the digital amp.

Such a clean looking bass

As I’d rather not take the hit of pxing I’d consider a Dingwall SP-1 five string, or a GR Bass combo or small cab in a trade plus cash, if anyone would like to swap?

I’m also interested to hear your latest thoughts, as given the lack of interest in the Dingwall John Taylor 5 I’m selling I’d consider repacing it for the five string version of this model.  I think the shorter scale length will feel much better.

I’ve always had good service from the guys at Bass Direct.  I’m sure, like every retailer, they’ve had their moments where things haven’t gone to plan (much like the Andertons delivery issues mentioned earlier on this page) but overall I think they’re a solid bunch.
