French speaking, you say? He's Belgian, but it's sung in French

I'd forgotten I had this - I used to use (one side of it) as my bass power amp, but it's a bit bulky and all, so it fell by the wayside.

Anyway, 2 channels, each 150W, 4 ohm minimum, volume pots a bit scratchy but both channels work fine, and even with my bass plugged directly into the line input it manages to go quite loud, thank you very much.

Seen better days, but has been stored in a dry place for the last few years, so any rust etc is from years ago.

Before you ask about bridging etc, I suspect that the only bridging you can do with it is to throw it off one.

MORE than loud enough to power your monitors, if not the main PA speakers for small gigs.

Weight is 14kg.

How does £60 plus shipping sound?

I've been eyeing up those Peaveys for a little while. If only they had a variable sweep on the crossover I'm jump on 'em. Even so, might wait for the more powerful brethren to come out and see what the prices are like.

Been watching this over on BABP - good on you, Nig!

[quote name='BassPimp66' post='820867' date='Apr 27 2010, 05:16 PM']I own a EA Micro and I absolutely love it. It's by far the smallest head I have ever seen, and it only weights 1 KG.[/quote]

I'd be worried about it blowing away at an outdoor gig. Fortunately there's a solution (though this is for the Miniamp rather than the Micro, but I think it will fit the Micro as well)

Nice G&L L1000, though.

I would use the search function first and take a look at the threads already on here.

A few to get you going

[quote name='whynot' post='817409' date='Apr 24 2010, 06:36 PM']Mike Walsh at Zoot made the the bodies for Fenders Mark King Jazz models I believe.
Would be a reasonable price I think plus pick your wood and facing if required.[/quote]

I was going to suggest him too - well worth a call.

[quote name='JPS' post='817083' date='Apr 24 2010, 11:20 AM']Great show. I'd forgotten how brilliant Wilko was to watch live.[/quote]

He still is. You should catch the Wilko Johnson band when they tour (Norman on bass, too!)

[quote name='tombboy' post='810180' date='Apr 18 2010, 11:33 AM']Good point Richard.... I'll have a think about that if the auction doesn't get any sniffs.
TBH, I had them on here separately at good prices and no-one bit.[/quote]
Yeah, but eBay has a slightly bigger reach than even Basschat

I considered having that amp, but the weight (49lb according to Googling) has put me right off (curse my middle aged back).

Also toyed with the idea of the subs, but can't find any info about them (or certainly for the ones that look like the pic you posted, anyway).

You really ought to have put those up separately rather than as a bundle on eBay - I'm sure you'd get more interest that way.

How about the [url="http://www.purple-chili.com/bass-cabs/pcb410t.htm"]Purple Chili PCB410T[/url] - 23.5kg.



Proportion a bit different from the "usual" 4x10, so may not suit.

Fancy a bit of DIY? That a look at [url="http://www.41hz.com/shop/"]41Hz[/url] kits. The hole mounted ones (rather than the surface mounted ones, which are a bit of a bugger to solder) might do the trick.

Could be interested. Does it come with the footswitch?

Ordered yesterday afternoon, arrived this morning! Super service - many thanks!

Top tip - if you use a capo to clamp the strings at the nut end, you can slacken the strings off and remove the ball ends from the bridge without the strings coming off the tuning pegs - makes taking the saddle off and on a heck of a lot faster and less hassle. I must admit I've only ever done this on acoustic guitar rather than abss, but I don't see why it won't work on bass too.

Oh, I don't know - it would match my eyes...

Any pics yet?

Ta!

Yup, four should be OK. I'd be interested (never having mounted anything in a rack before) as to how the rear fixings might work - I have a Yamaha power amp that will be full depth, and may benefit from fixing at the rear as well as the front, but I'm not sure what the bracketing arrangements might be.

Yes, I'm interested. Does it come with bolts/fixing hardware? Do you have a couple of pics?

Cheers

Richard

I strongly suspect it will be a verrry heavy beast if made in 18mm birch ply. Even in 12mm birch ply a cab that size is going to be no lightweight.

At a rough guess based on your dims, you'll be using 4096 square inches of ply. I just went and got an offcut of 18mm birch ply out, which weighed 1.2kg for a piece 330mm x 305mm - say it's around 12" square, so 144 square inches. So 4096/144 = 28.

So your cab will weigh approx 28 x 1.2kg = 33kg just for the ply.

Gulp.

Mike Walsh of Iceni Zoot/Purple Chili would be a good candidate, IMO. Here's a couple of pics of a Zoot bass he was just finishing off that I saw down there the other day





This pic's not a great representatio of the colour, but shows it complete



He's in Witham, Essex - so not too local to you, unfortunately.

Amazed you've not had anyone after this. My LM250 has been an absolutely great amp. I had intended to sell it once I got the TC RH450, but frankly I thought it worth keeping as a backup/spare for taking to jams or whatever.

I never found it to be underpowered for my needs, either.
