Hey I never did get round to this bit..... Big shout out to those that made encouraging noises on my ad for Ampeg Rocket bass . I am in the Midlands and play as many different varieties of tunes as I can . I also write blues tunes within my trio Strange Blues and play mainly my old fave - OLP 4 string with E Ball flats - I also have an OlP 5 string and a Supro as me Sunday best . Amp is Markbass combo 1x12 with an additional 1x 12 cab for extra fun - Look out for a recording from Strang Blues happening soon 

Big thanks for all your feedback - Ampeg is gone to a new home in Bedford ..

Cheers

It’s 65lbs old money. Some people I’ve seen fit castors as an option.  

Ampeg RocketBass B100 r. 
selling for a friend used but in good working order. Just a couple of tears in Tolex but a genuine example of Ampeg quality. Great for practice or rehearsal room as it’s fairly heavy. 
Collection only due to weight. 

Hi all,

I have owned and used a Portabass 2x12 for some time and yesterday it failed me. We were playing in full sunshine ( 25oC) and it cut - I plugged into the PA for the end of the first set and checked it again in the break and it started working again . It then lasted for about another 20 mins and cut again .
Got it home today and checked it to be working ?
I know it sounds like a needle in a haystack but has anyone had a similar experience if so what's likely ?
It runs one of the original Aurora neodymiums and an Eminence neodymium. and sounds great ( The Aurora started to rattle so I replaced and I'm beginning to hear similar noises from the remaining one so I'm thinking it may be time to get another Eminence ??


Any advice would be helpful

Sold ????

Did it sell?

Has this been sold ?

Not a regular clicking like a watch - more of an intermittent out of time - like a lead disconnecting ...which then disappeared . I am going to try it out to destruction today to try and force it to do it ..

Unfortunately not- no watch ....

I am getting an intermittent clicking noise from my Little Mark II - At first I thought I was being clumsy and clouting the bass string against the pick up - But then I used it with several other bassists playing my amp _ the first a very junior player let me set up the amp and I am sure that the gain and master were only at a mid point so no chance of clipping. The second bassist had already set himself up and sounded fine initially but when he started to play harder - there was the clicking - When I checked he had wound the gain round to about 3 oclock - complaining that his Warwick was a really quiet bass - I reset the gain closer to the 12 oclock that I tend to use - and the clicking did not re- appear .
Is this me doing something daft or is their a fault that I have yet to identify - I play an OLP - both 4 and 5 passive and I use an Ampeg Portabass cab 2 x 12 with one of the original speakers replaced with an Eminence Deltalite.
Any input/ ideas appreciated .
Oh yeah, the rig was DI'd into pub PA system on this occasion but I am pretty sure that the noise has occured when played stand alone ( or at least I think so )

It is more noticeable as the gain is increased. I've checked the connections which are spades and a good fit. And thanks I will check that web address ..

Repair or replace ? I'm getting a dirty cracking sound from the top speaker in my Portabass 212 cab. I've checked it and there is no visible signs. I run it with a Markbass LittleMark II. It works hard but is never caned. What and where can i go for help. I'm in Leicester

Good luck with this..These are the best value basses around ( I have 4 and 5 strings ) and would recommend anyone to give them a go..

This is all interesting stuff ...I use a Little Mark II with an Ampeg Portabass 212 and I can recommend it as a great sound and so portable you would not believe . I have had Trace 2x15s and 4x10s and the amount of weight involved required several roadies ...

Looks like Paul now owns my Sterling SB14 and I hope they'll be very happy together - good man to do business with and he obviously has excellent taste.:-)

Sold to Paul S -a good man to do business with :-)

Looks like this maybe sold.....will confirm for definite later..

SOLD >>>>>>Reluctantly parting with my Sterling SB14 _ If you have never tried one you should as it is easily one of the nicest basses I have owned - unfortunately times are hard and it needs a new home...

Here's a Youtube review that gives you a good idea if you didn't know already..

And I shall attach some pictures to show how good this looks in black, there are some minor scratches on the bottom edge and some very minimal signs of use , but this bass has been hardly used and as far as I know never even gigged .
It does have a very slim jazz neck and so would appeal more to a player looking for just that .
I am looking for £450 as I feel this would set some lucky bass player up for a long time .

[attachment=106051:IMG_0574.JPG][attachment=106052:IMG_0578.JPG][attachment=106047:IMG_0575.JPG]For sale _ My BH500 because I ended up buying a Little Mark from someone on the forum ...purely based on size and weight issues .

The TC amp was great with all the bells and whistles you could ask for - tuner, tubetone e.tc ..and you can find out much more by looking here:
[url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/bh500-reviews.asp"]http://www.tcelectro...500-reviews.asp[/url]

I bought it in Jan 2011 and it has been used but not abused - and has some little marks of this but effectively still looks very new and performs just as the reviews describe.
I am looking for about £275 as it cost me nearly £400 and this seems to be fair considering how new it is .

Cheers

Just bought Little Mark from Dave and could not fault him. It does what it says on the can !


Cheers

Got bored reading the same names so :


Tal Wilkenfield gets my first vote ( and Jeff Beck and Chick Corea would agree)
while

Gail Ann Dorsey also needs a mention ( and a certain Mr Bowie )


ha.

SOLDDDDD

Going. going gone in the morning.....

Ok People
I have this on a local website and Gumtree now so last chance before I put it on FleBay and submit it to the mercy of the masses.
