    Flog the combo, buy the equivalent head (WT550? Cracking amp, my favourite solid state head ever!) and buy a second 1x15 cab too

    Definitely an early 90's 1528 you have there

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1390146805' post='2341914'] Let me mention jackduran's band Super 8 Cynics and their fantastic 80s flavoured pop. Here's their video for Doing What I've Always Done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1ANUFGGeTQ [/quote] Love it So much talent on here, well done everyone!

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1390405948' post='2345064'] I would sell and buy a Bergantino CN212. Super light, great form factor, great for mids, tweeter. [/quote] But he wants two cabs as far as I can work out. Is there a CN112? Then you have the same suggestion but offering the two cab solution he requires

    Can't see a topic here already so I best start the ball rolling with what a thoroughly bloody nice bloke Paul is, and what a pleasant transaction selling the Status Shark was

    Sold Rob a Status Groove bass, absolute joy to deal with. Cracking example of a BCer
  12. Merton
    Bloody hell, cracking cab, silly low price! Bargainous

    SOLD

    FS: Status Groove 4 string SOLD PENDING PAYMENT £275 plus courier at buyer's cost I’ve always loved Grooves and found them to be incredibly comfortable and easy to play. Light as a feather (around 8.5lb I think) and a lovely small neck. Great sound from the single pickup (it is actually 3 J type pickups with the middle one reverse wired for hum cancelling, sounds very MM like), 2 band active EQ and an active/passive switch. I have actually been running it passive for a while now because I’m lazy with batteries. This has a fair few battles scars which I’ve photographed, the small crack in the neck joint is lacquer only I believe. Selling because I have an incoming ACG to fund. Will supply with a gig bag; currently strung with Status Halfwound 45-105s

    Status Shark 5 String Limited Edition Seafoam Green with Pearloid Scratchplate Cracking bass, it has been my favourite ever since I bought it in early 2011. Very easy neck, light as a feather (around 8.5lb) and an absolute joy to play. Equipped with a single soapbar pickup and passive vol/tone controls, this really couldn't be easier to plug in and play. This is in pretty good condition for its age but there are some dinks on it, I have pictured almost all of them (there are a couple on the headstock of which I can't seem to get a decent photo, but they are minor and don't affect anything). The crack by the neck joint is just in the lacquer. £375 without a case or with a Hiscox liteflight case (Bass Centre branded) for £400. Courier to the UK included or at buyer's cost if further afield
  16. Merton
    Cheers, my friend is happy to pay postage I think. What would it cost? £10?

    [quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1389913649' post='2339609'] The LB30 was never designed to be a gigging amp! Buy a CTM 100 or 300... Those are the giggable valve amps,,, ;-) [/quote] I concur. I love my new (to me) CTM100 [quote name='dan670844' timestamp='1389907328' post='2339509'] Be careful when selecting cabs, just like a 70's SVT these amps chew up speakers, I reckon these will do them quicker. Speaker wise the best is probably the trusty eminence BP102, or something that can handle a good low range ie 3012lf not 3012ho [/quote] I think the BF cabs will be fine

    All I'm saying is you questioned how a 1x12 could "beat" an 8x10 and suggested a placebo effect; I merely offered a reason as to why a 1x12 might be perceived to "beat" an 8x10 Edit: not sure I explained myself well in the first post on this matter
  20. Merton
    Might know someone who's interested, will let you know! Would you post?
  21. Merton
    [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1389901114' post='2339408'] not to be a basher, but surely for there is a tiny placebo effect happening here? ie i doubt that a 112 cab no matter how good should be anywhere near an 810? [/quote] Maybe the 8x10 is a particularly crap example of the 8x10 concept, and also bear in mind the comparison was centred around the tone of the cabs. The 1x12 is more focused in the mids due to a superior (probably!) design so the perceived superior volume is easy to understand in context
  22. Merton
    Ah bollocks, gig it. The speaker will never bed in otherwise
  23. Merton
    I have an SC in my possession at the mo, but it's not actually MINE because mine will be with vintage silver cloth grille. Gigged it a couple of weeks back, the rest of the band couldn't tell the difference sonically between it and my old Super 12 Oh, I will actually be collecting TWO SCs when they're finished, whoop. That will destroy walls
  24. Merton
    Oh no, that's horrible. You'll have to donate it to me.
  25. Merton
    Love the bass tone on that, monster Great track too, nice one!
