  1. I will have to split the ad listing down into separate items soon to more correctly comply with Basschat rules, so please take note of anything you may have interest in, as that may take me a while to sort.
  2. Hiya, I've made mistakes on the adverts I've placed, and can't seem to correct them. Tried to enter £7000 for advert total, and it came up £70 ? the other ad, I edited as one item sold, and the advert (for multiple items ) has been cancelled. Took me hours to write it, as I'm no typist. Please help.
  3. After years of Hoarding, I finally have to let go of my Trace Elliot "treasured collection ", ( I don't want to worry about turning in my grave when my wife rings the local shop to have it all taken away, down the line ! ) Heavyweights first. TE V6 , all original, great sounding amp in vgc, a favourite of mine. £699 TE V4 mk2 head in proper sleeve, again brilliant condition Think mini Trace Elliot V8. £699 TE Hexavalve, again brilliant condition £999 VA 350, has annoying fault, but works, £399 V-type hybrid 300w mosfet head, best of both worlds, £299 V-type 15" combo, original celestion speaker, green pimple vinyl covering, so early trace, same amp as above £299 There's other Trace bits, some unusual, but I need to sort them out, I've gigged all of these amps, at one time or another, but, as there are so many, no amp has had heavy use . Please request pics, as too many. As usual, I'm unable to ship any of these items, collection from West Sussex, where things can be tried , and checked, is my preferred option. While I will not courier these amps, I do have friends who travel 'round the country who may be willing to help with transportation, worth asking .
  4. Hi , Up for sale is my NS WAV 4, inc carry bag , and stand. All in good working order. (Stand is reasonably good, but I'll check that before sale, JIC. ) Will get some pics, when I'm back at work. Would hugely prefer collection from West Sussex, so that it can be auditioned, ( I'm no DB player !) Thanks Mike.
  5. Never been able to find it listed, I'm afraid. Could have been a special order. It is identical to the top half of the 1516.
  6. Up for grabs is my somewhat modular outdoor rig, lot's of different combinations possible. All in good, well cared for condition. Aguilar DB750, in official Aguilar sleeve "Simply the best ", what else to say ! Light use over the years, has one switch slightly dented, and one control knob scratched, but all functioning properly. £990 (now available again, update ) This was sold, however, might have had a noisy tube, so I have refunded the buyer, and put 3 new Ruby 12ax7's in it now, plus a Mazda 12au7, tried it with the Mesa Diesel cabs I used to use it with, (see pic ) pic ), Sounds fine to me, Like new inside. So, Hey Ho back on sale ! Mesa Diesel 1x15" EV loaded bass cabs, again, in great condition. Always used in multiples with the DB750, so never overdriven. now£175 each (3 available,1 sold) Mesa Diesel 10"+2x6"+tweeter. This unusual cab, same size as the 1x15, I used in place of one of the 15's when I needed a bit more bite. Drivers prob not original, but, again , sounds good. Put this on top of a Mesa 1x15, and you have a Cab like Macca uses. £175 Mesa Diesel 2x15 Cab, EV speakers, one is replacement. Very clean, NOT ex-rental stock, like many of them. £350, now £250 Mesa 1x12 cab, bought with the Walkabout, again as spare, so very little use. However, while it looks similar, it is NOT the lightweight Subway one ! £250 now £199 Mesa Buster 200w valve Combo, with original 15" EV speaker, fabulous condition, inc. cover. £599 Mesa Buster 200w valve head, I love these, 2 available properly re-cased to reduce weight £599 Apologies, but there can be no shipping on any of this, just not practical. Everything can be viewed, tried and tested in West Sussex. Will get pics up, hopefully next week. Mike.
  7. I've also made a false lid, and a box to hold the head, as , although I love the flip top principle, I'm 78 and can no longer lift the B..... Again, pics to follow, when I've painted it. PS Also modded a couple of 60's Vox cabs, A T60, never a good sounding cab originally, now, running one Eminence neo 3015, and properly ported and braced, sounds great, has a whole new life ahead of it. Also, a 2 x 12, maybe a defiant cab, now running an Eminence kappalite 3012LF and an Alpha 6, again properly ported and braced , not tried that one yet. Both look as original from the outside, all mods reversible.
  8. are there any black plugs on the top , covering some mounting screws ?
  9. A trick I’ve used in the past is to put a different colour ( black ) B-string on the bass , helped me !
  10. So, Fliptops recommend the Eminence Beta for the B15, and I have one in mine, but I thought I’d try a Faital pro PR15-400 in this cab, see what happens with more powerful amps. OK, so only in Pubs, so far , but Lovin’ it ! Happily copes with the extra volume, and nice and light , too.That’s encouraged me to start modding my B15r cab,( looks great ,horrible sounding cab) in the same way. Actually, much easier to do, as the front baffle simply unscrews. Pics to follow.

    Nigel deserved our thoughts, as do his family , now ! Def one of the good guys .
  12. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  13. Maybe give your ears time to adjust to the cab, maybe it has more mids than you are used to, not less bass !
  14. OK, sort of found a way to do it. Not sure what happened to my description , but Hey Ho . I'm going to go and lie down for a while , now !
  15. Ok, found a way to get photo's onto my work computer ! First photo shows the old holes filled with blanking panels, then re cut for speaker, then slots added. tweeter and rear input panel is removed, and main speaker centralised.
  16. Seem to need help uploading photo’s. They’re on my old IPad, but, although I’m showing as logged in, there is no “ reply “ option, just a thin box. Any idea’s.SORTED
  17. I noticed that the modern Ampeg PF 15” sealed cab has similar internal dimensions to my mid 60’s B15 cab, so when a somewhat beat up PF cab became available, I set about converting it to the double baffle arrangement that Ampeg deployed in the “old days “. Still waiting for delivery of the correct speaker mounting bolts, but then I’ll be able to compare old and new. I do use a sealed PF115he with a PF500 for pub rock ‘n roll gigs, not bad cabs , but I need something “ sweeter “ for acoustic gigs. Pics to follow, they’re on a different IPad.
  18. Impedance now 5.3 ohms, happy load for most tranny amps !
