  1. I'd suggest you [[email protected]]email[/email] John direct and ask him how much it would cost to build a replacement.
  2. OK, I really don't want to do this, but finances are tight and this is actually way more than I really need right now, so... [b][url="http://www.demeteramps.com/products/bassamplification/hbp1.html"]Demeter HBP1 Tube Preamp[/url][/b] A truly awesome tube preamp. This unit sounds wonderful and is very simple to use. Passive tone controls are augmented by a two band solid state parametric equalizer. It also has a fully adjustable active effects loop, tuner output, a full balanced output with switchable mic or line level, both a balanced TRS line level output and an unbalanced line level output for amplifier connections and a mute switch. Very hard to find in the UK used, I was quoted £949 for a new one by a UK dealer. Used but in very good condition with only minor rack rash. [b][url="http://www.peavey.com/products/browse.cfm/action/detail/cat/490/item/116949/number/03001260/IPR%26trade%3B1600.cfm"]Peavey IPR1600 Power Amp[/url][/b] This is the new kid on the Class D power amp block from Peavey. It puts out 830 watts per channel at 2 ohms and weighs less than 7lbs! Featuring 2 channels hi pass/low pass crossovers, a variable-speed fan housed in a lightweight aluminum chassis, patented DDT speaker protection. NB: It cannot be bridged! These are £349 retail in the UK. This one is two months old and totally mint. All stacked in a nice new (well, two months old) [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thon_rack_4_he_economy.htm"]Thon 4u case [/url]with [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/adam_hall_87221vh_entlueftungsblende_1_he.htm"]1u blanking vent plate[/url], OBBM Y connector and a Y power lead. [b]£925 for the full setup[/b], collected from NE Hampshire or Central London. Prefer not to post but can be persuaded at your cost. Thanks for looking. Gareth
  3. If I miss out on OBBM's Epi cabs and someone buys my EA cabs I'd be very interested...

  5. [quote name='walbassist' post='877939' date='Jun 26 2010, 08:25 AM']I have four brand new Dunlop strap buttons for sale. They are straplock compatible, but do not come with the straplocks themselves. £3 each, £6 for two, or £10 the lot, posted 1st class. Cheers Gareth[/quote] On hold, pending payment.
  6. Does it come with a PSU Nick?
  7. [quote name='Marvin' post='878350' date='Jun 26 2010, 06:41 PM']I've just seen these whilst browsing and couldn't believe the price, [/quote] Or the weight....
  8. Any interest in trading for any of the amplification in my signature?
  9. Some pictures for your delectation.
  10. [quote name='BassBod' post='868412' date='Jun 15 2010, 08:52 PM']Have a look at Award/Session - the amp maker (who doesn't seem to make amps anymore??). He used to make a good little 4 input mixer/buffer box. Edit - called a MixMatch and still on the website....[/quote] Just got the last one to be made, and it's perfect for what we what. Good call Duncan!!!!
  11. Great amps. Silly light and very transparent tone. I'm half tempted to gat another, and this price is good!

  13. Where in Surrey are you Luke?
  14. I'm very pleased to say my bass is featured on the Veillette [url="http://www.veilletteguitars.com/news_shop.php"]website[/url]. A quick update... I’m loving the bass. I thought the guys had done an amazing job with my Archtop, and the Alpha just confirms that the bar is kept very high by Joe and the team. The fit and finish is just superb, the attention to detail absolutely perfect. I’ve never had instruments that are just so playable, and just feel so right, and how on earth they manage to balance the basses so well is beyond me (this bass, at just over 9lb, is nearly a lb heavier than my Archtop)! I love how they look so traditional on one hand, and yet totally modern on the other, and I've never had so many people come up and ask about my basses at a gig before. The Citron pickups and Aguilar preamp are a perfect match. Both pickups have a wonderful voice; the neck pickup with a hint of extra bass and not much treble does a lovely P bass thump, while the bridge pickup has terrific bite and presence. Running it through my Demeter preamp revealed some real power and authority to the bass, and at rehearsal last night the bass was very even all over the neck, and it sat in the band mix perfectly. Finally, I'd like to thank Phil Ward for being such an effective intermediary, and for putting up with my constant emails! I really appreciate the time he took answering all my questions, however minor, and Joe Veillette has definitely got himself a good UK rep! I've played many bespoke makes over the years, but I really do feel these basses are the ultimate for me. Cheers Gareth
  15. [quote name='owen' post='873548' date='Jun 21 2010, 03:19 PM']No idea if they went or not, but they are lower tension than Spirocores[/quote] Thanks Owen, the Helicores I have on at the moment are very "tight"!
  16. Hi Keith Did you sell these in the end? What sort of tension are they? Cheers Gareth
  17. [quote name='tarlump' post='870814' date='Jun 18 2010, 02:18 PM']you have a PM[/quote] Still here...
