Hey Guys, I’m not 100% sure that I want to move this on, but I’m finding myself using my other bass a bit more often lately and this is sat being unplayed. I’ve owned this from new when they became available on Thomann earlier this year. It had a couple of high frets which were quickly professionally seen to by Mark at Wilts Guitar Repair. Other than that, the bass is in great condition and currently strung up with a fresh set of DR High Beams. All specs and info can be found here: https://www.thomann.co.uk/sadowsky_metroexpress_24_5_modern_ma_ss.htm Some videos of it in action: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH60nsVOcnq/?igsh=MXUzc2Q2Z3Zpdnp2eg== https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF3uTZ3NBr0/?igsh=MWJvd2FmM2VkdDc3ZQ== This bass comes with Sadowsky strap locks and a padded deluxe Sadowsky gig bag which is in great condition as well. I’d be interested in a possible trade for either: Spector Euro 5 String Musicman/Sterling Stingray 2EQ 4 String Lakland 55-60 5 String Warwick Streamer 5 String I have a Squier Classic Vibe 60’s jazz bass (Older model) that I could include as well for the right deal also. I have a box and can post at the buyers expense, otherwise this is can be collected from Bridgwater, Somerset. Thanks, Josh.

*Faulty/Repair* Gallien Krueger 700RB Combo - *SOLD*
Josh replied to Josh's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
So, the power button is a push in style as opposed to a switch. There have been times when I’ve reached down to push the button in and I’ve taken my finger off too quickly accidentally so it springs back out, but the power had a chance to turn on very briefly. I think doing that too times many caused a surge on the power board, which is what was repaired recently and is potentially what needs repairing again. Hopefully that helps mate! -
Hey guys, So, this is the older version of the combo, before the 700RBII. I’ve had it for over a year, after about 6 months the power board shorted out after not pressing in the power button fully. I took it to Taunton Audio Visual Services who managed to get it up and running again. About another 6 months later the same issue has happened again. I’ve since bought a replacement head and have been using the 210 exclusively via a speakon adapter and the cab works perfectly fine and sounds great. When the head was working it sounded even better! I’m offering this up as a repair for someone with the know how or knows someone who can help, and just as a good and solid 2x10 cabinet which can be used with any head with the adapter. The overall condition of the combo is pretty good for its age. The handle and wheels all work perfectly fine and there is no major cosmetic damage. This is a collection only from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can also meet up or deliver within a certain distance as well. Thanks, Josh.

Hey Guys, My amp has died for the second time and will need to replace it unfortunately. So, reluctantly I’m offering up my Sadowsky MX jazz that I bought brand new from Thomann last April to fund it. This one is from a later batch and doesn’t have the issues that plagued the original run of these basses. I had the frets professionally levelled not long after purchasing it by Mark at Wilts Guitar Repair in Trowbridge. Ever since then it has been my go-to bass has a lovely low action and the preamp is the classic Sadowsky preamp minus the VTC control, so you still get that classic Sadowsky tone. The bass is in very good condition and will come with the official padded Sadowsky gig bag. Ideally I’d like to sell it, but if someone has a bass combo/bass stack they might be interested in parting with then let me know. Here’s a few clips of it in action: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCfOnJdOkgr/?igsh=MWQ1YzF3dHExdDdyeQ== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-07e-cuO9Z/?igsh=MTBidHB6bm9laG51dg== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8hd2qdtEI4/?igsh=OXQwanlzdmI5Y3Jw I’m after £300. Collection from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can also deliver within a certain distance as well. I can post but would have to ask for another £30 for insured delivery in the UK. Any questions please ask. Thanks, Josh.

I’m actually really happy with the standard preamp, I’ve got the same in my older RSD 4 string and have never had a problem with it. I did upgrade my previous ME P/J 5 string with the VTC drop in replacement, and honestly the difference wasn’t that great. Maybe in the future, I might put a full EMG DC set in it, but until then I have no reason to.

The string spacing on Modern 24 models is 18mm from what I can gather. It’s a very comfortable spacing!

I just recently sold my 55-01 to Stuart and couldn’t have been happier with the whole transaction. He’s an absolute gent to deal with and pleasure to chat to in person!

I’ve just uploaded a quick snippet of the tone of this thing🤟🏻

Hey guys, I had been hoping ever since the inception of the ME range that they would eventually offer the Modern, as the German/Japanese models have always been rather expensive. So, I’d been keeping an eye on them to show up in stock on Thomann and pulled the trigger last week. Annoyingly they don’t help themselves by only having rendered images on the website, in fact it’s nearly impossible to find a decent photo or video (aside from the official release video) of them currently. I might even be in the very small amount of bassists here who even have one😂 First impressions so far have been great, loving the almost Spector-like tone with both pick ups. The only little niggle has been a high fret up in the dusty end which will be dealt with soon, otherwise it’s been a very easy bass to set up with a lovely low action. I’m thinking black hardware is the next step😏
