Hi,

*** Price dropped to £160!! ****

After years of carrying heavy cabs around my back has finally cried enough so I need a smallish lightweight 300 to 500 watt speaker cab to pair with my Ampeg PF-500 (preferably 8ohm).
Money is tight at present & the only thing I have with any value is my Wharfedale Combo so I thought I'd offer it up for trade first.

I've included a link to the Wharfedale site so you can see what it's like but if there is any interest I'll happily take some pics when I next go to the rehearsal room.
Basically it is rated at 200 watts with 2 x 12AX7/ECC83 valves in the pre-amp stage & so many sound shaping options that you could probably spend a week trying different sounds out! It's fairly loud for 200 watts & I'm sure would quite easily hold it's own for small to medium sized gigs. It is built entirely in house by Wharfedale including the 2 x 10" speakers & horn.

Brief specs are below but I would download the manual for a look because there's more detail there:

200 watt hybrid amplifier 2x10" + horn Bass combo - special angled cabinet for session and club use where good directional sound is required.

Mixed technology 200 watt Bass Combo
2 x 10" Wharfedale Bass Technology speakers + Titanium Angled Compression driven Horn
Angled cabinet design for close sound projection
All tube preamp section for signal processing and Treble, Bass and preset EQ functions
High Voltage solid state Middle circuit
High Definition 200 watt/8ohm Solid state power amplifier
Thermostatically Fan Cooled with oversize heatsink for continuous heavy duty use
Input section - Jack input, -10dB pad switch, Gain Boost switch, Tuner Mute switch, Rotary Gain control
EQ section - Low Cut, Low Boost, High Boost, Mid Depth pushswitches, Bass control with 3 position Range switch, Mid control with 3 position Range switch, Treble control with 3 position Range switch
Master Output Level control
Power ON/OFF and Standby switches
Series FX loop with Bypass and Level switches
DI output with Ground Lift switch

It also has a 300hz crossover in built with a jack socket so that you can add an 8ohm cab as a passive sub woofer - I've tried this & it sounds awesome!

I bought this to use at rehearsals & smaller gigs but my main gigging rig is becoming too heavy for me to move around so unfortunately I need to sacrifice this.

It's in great condition because it's hardly ever been used, they are extremely well built & retail at £469 at Electromusic. However I have spotted that PMT have recently listed them at £249 which is less than I paid for this last year. I think one sold on here a few weeks ago for £200 & I'd value mine at that also.

Let me know what you have for trade (I may consider trading for an Epiphone EB3).

Cheers!

[quote name='voldar' post='1306772' date='Jul 17 2011, 04:05 PM']Fantastic looking Antoria bass with the addition of a one-off Carbon Fibre pick guard.

Great playing bass and a bargain at £100 (postage within the Uk is approx £20).


Antoria Guitars have always been at the forefront of Britpop, right from the beginning Hank Marvin’s (Drifters/Shadows) chosen guitar was from Antoria.

Marty Wilde used one as shown on his Greatest Hits album cover. Even in Liverpool in the early days the lead guitarist of Rory Storm and The Hurricanes chose a guitar from Antoria, Ringo Starr was the drummer with the band and is even pictured playing an Antoria guitar on stage for fun.

Most recently, the lead guitarist with Oasis proudly plays and shows off his Antoria J200 style guitar on the Wonderwall video.

Body: Solid Carolina
Neck: Hard Maple & Bolt on
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Frets: 20
Scale: 864mm
Pickups: 2 JB
Controls: 2 Volume, 1 Tone
Bridge: BS019
Hardware: Chrome
Finish: Sun Burst

Is this one of the modern ones supplied by Chase Guitars or one of the old Jap ones?
Could you put up a pic of the headstock?

Last bump

[quote name='Moos3h' post='1304489' date='Jul 15 2011, 10:40 AM']That is the exact colour combo Westfield P basses are available in. Just sayin'.[/quote]

That was my first thought also - my local music shop has a Westfield in that colour combo but if you look at the main pic you can see that the truss rod adjustment is at the heel not the headstock where Westfields are so it does look legit.

Last price reduction before I put it on fleabay - please don't make me do that!!

Not mine, just though, that would be good and loud.[/quote]

Fantastic amps. I had the 1x15 combo, think it was 350watt on it's own or 700watt with an extension cab (never needed one it was so loud).
If I remember it right it had valve & solid state pre-amps which you could blend & an adjustable horn.
Only problem I had with it was it was so powerful it kept blowing the Black Widow speaker.
Bloody heavy though - I swear that's what caused my back problems!

Bump for reduced price - 300 watt Amp for under £100!!

I have a Behringer BX3000T amp head for sale.

I'm asking [s]£120[/s] £80 for it as it's in very good condition having been rarely used as it was my back up amp.

I've just bought an Ampeg PF-500 so this now has to go so I can buy a cab to go with it. I would also trade for wireless setup, let me know what you have.

I've got the dual Ultrabass/Shape footswitch to go with it.

I know that Behringer have their detracters but I can honestly say I've always got a great sound out of this & it's never let me down & it's very loud!!

Would be a good starter amp or use as a backup.

It seems solidly made & is quite heavy for it's size so I would prefer collection from either my house near Kettering or from where I work in Leicester.

If anyone's interested I'll try & get some actual pics but for now this is taken from Behringers web site

Not being able to spell where you live is not that inspiring

Not bad a bass for £40 though [/quote]

Yes it's a bit difficult to type when you've got six fingers though. It's also difficult to play bass hence why it's for sale.
Whoops did I say that out loud?

I'd be interested in the pickups if you're swapping them out for USA.

Errm...Yes - I'm not the faster typist in the world & I was continually being interrupted by people wanting me to do some work for them!

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up. My only concern would be it's a Crack Converter franchise selling it so I'd recommend going to look at/try it first but don't wait too long. Serial number identifies it as 2000-2001.

Just bought a MIM Fender Jazz from Paul, it's a lovely bass, which was even better than described. He even met me half way for the collection & has gone far beyond the call of duty to help me purchase a bass that I really wanted. Paul is definitely one of the good guys & a credit & an asset to this forum.

Thank you so much Paul.

[quote name='kurcatovium' post='1260690' date='Jun 8 2011, 08:13 AM']Good priced Thunder at gumtree: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/westone-bass-guitar/81697667"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/westone-...guitar/81697667[/url][/quote]

Yes I thought I'd seen that one before - if you do a search on "Westone" in the UK on Gumtree you'll find that he's advertised it before. Now though he's omitted the fact that it's been de-fretted! That's OK if you want a fretless of course but I think I would probably mention that just in case?!

"This bass has been de-fretted, which means the fret seperators have been removed, giving it a nice jazzy fretless sound.
The bass has been independently valued at £80. It would be £150 if it had not been de-fretted, as it's a fiddly job re-fretting it which would suit someone with a workshop and the right tools."

I've just sold my VM '77 Squier Jazz to Matt. All the way through the transaction he was a pleasure to deal with.
He paid immediately & communication was excellent.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Matt to anyone, he's a true gent!

Many thanks Matt - I hope you get may years enjoyment from the Squier.

Cheers
Steve

NOW SOLD!!

[quote name='tazza1' post='1257864' date='Jun 5 2011, 09:54 PM']I've just bought a MIM Fender Jazz so very reluctantly my VM Jazz has to go.
It's the black '77 VM Jazz with black scratchplate & bound & blocked neck.
It's in great condition with only the usual minor marks you get from playing it.
It plays & sounds superb & I know I'm going to regret this but I need to re-coup as much of the money for the MIM as possible.
I've been so impressed with this Jazz & I would love to keep it as a back up for the MIM but I just can't afford to.
The Duncan designed pick-ups give these basses a real Jazz sound & they're really well put together. I'm almost certain I'll buy another one once I've got myself sorted out.
Everywhere seems to be selling these new for £273 so I'm asking £180 which I think is a reasonable price. I'll happily meet up with the buyer within a 30 mile radius of Kettering in Northants if that helps. If that's not possible I will post at extra cost or you can arrange your own courier. Unfortunately I don't have a case or gig bag but I can box it up for delivery - I'll also remove the neck if you want me to.

Sorry I can't take trades on this.

I'll take some pics & get them up tomorrow evening but for now this is the model it is:

Just bought a Westone Thunder 1A from Chay. He's a great guy to deal with, the bass was as described, packaging was excellent & he despatched it very quickly.

Thanks very much Chay - it was a real pleasure!!
