My decision to sell my LB30 means I can move on almost all of the valves I bought to try out in it. [size=4][b]12AY7 (45% gain)[/b] 2 x Electro Harmonix 12AY7 = £13.50 (not tested by me, but new)[/size] [size=4][b]EL84[/b] 4 x PHILIPS NOS from 1967 = £16.00[/size] (these have not been tested by me) All valves, except where noted, have been tested and work. Prices are [i]per valve[/i] and do not include postage. Cheers Gareth

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1337247019' post='1657602'] If this is still around in a week i'll probably take it. Liam [/quote] Hi Liam That's great. Let me know. Cheers Gareth

[size=4]My huge overhaul of gear has taken me down to an amp and single cab setup, and while I absolutely love this head I really can’t justify keeping it, so it with a heavy heart that I put up my UK-made Ashdown Little Bastard all-valve 30 watt head. As I’m sure most folk on BC know, Ashdown’s first run of these heads was limited to 100 units completed here in the UK. This one is number 27 and was originally sold by Gamlins in Cardiff. The head has served me very well and has the tone that only valves can deliver. Condition is very good, just a couple of small bumps in the chrome panel. It’s [u]plenty[/u] loud enough to gig with, and depending on what valves (and which input) you use, you can eradicate most or all of the grit if you just want it to play clean. Indeed, the head is currently fitted with two NOS Mullard ECC81s (cost £24, made for the Ministry of Defence and designated [/size][size=4]CV4024 [/size][size=4]in Mitcham in Week 2 of October 1984) that give about 60% of the standard ECC83's gain and clean the sound up perfectly for me, a JJ ECC82 as the driver, and four JJ EL84s as the power section complete the glow coming from inside. Also included in the sale is a Roqsolid cover (£22), OBBM speakon-jack speaker cable (£12), and a 2m jack-jack speaker cable (£15). I made a video to demo the amp, which you can see on Youtube as below: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjuLMqgk4Qk[/media] Given that it’s a UK model, has upgraded tubes, and has a number of other extras I’m asking [b]£475[/b] collected from NE Hampshire or Central London, or add £15 for a basic (i.e. next day, £50 insurance) courier service.[/size]

Great bass, but just not getting played.[list] [*]Hipshot Supertone bridge (I think I paid £70) original bridge also included [*]La Bella 760FM flatwound strings (£30) [*]OHSC (£90) [/list] Condition is excellent. The back of the neck has been sanded very lightly to take away the stickiness. It'll work back to gloss in time, but at the moment it is a light satin and very fast. £450 collected from NE Hampshire or Central London (WC2). If you need it posted we'll have to talk. PICS TO FOLLOW Cheers Gareth

The sale of my JJ500 means I have no need for [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thon_rack_2he_eco_ii.htm"]this[/url] any more. Good condition, a few light scuffs but nothing serious at all. £45 + pstage new from Germany, I'm looking for [b]£30 + postage[/b]. Cheers Gareth

Head now found a new home, cabs still here

PM in the morning when I'm not so tired, so first dibs please!

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I have seen a bass I have wanted for many years at a very good price, and as my 1970 fretless Precision is getting all my playing time at the moment this is the obvious bass to sell to fund the new bass. This bass was made for me and delivered December 2009, the spec is:[list] [*]Semi-hollow poplar "Archtop" body with a spruce top and black binding finished in light amber [*]Maple 34" neck with unlined ebony fingerboard [*]Ebony saddle (19mm string spacing) and bridge [*]Citron Humbucker and D-Tar piezo pickup with D-Tar Eclipse preamp (volume, bass, treble, blend, with variable gain between mag and piezo) [*]La Bella black nylon strings (spare set included) [*]Gotoh Res-o-lite tuners [*]Dunlop Straplocks [/list] The bass plays beautifully, the action is very low, and the neck profile is flat and fast. It balances perfectly and weighs 8.5 lbs. The combination of piezo and magnetic works really well, and the range of tones is huge. Condition is perfect save for a slight pin sized dent in the side and a small finish repair (about 5mm long) where the gloss finish on the under side of the neck came away and needed touching up. Here's a video review I shot a while back. Audio isn't great but what the hell.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--yDD_5erxs[/media] I'm asking a firm [b]£2000 collected [/b]from NE Hampshire or London (WC1). If you need it posted we'll have to talk. If the other bass I'm after sells in the meantime then I will withdraw this bass. Cheers Gareh
