Custom boutique HBE Power Screamer in red sparkle finish, comes with original box, pedal is in immaculate condition with no chips, scratches or scuffs. It has velcro on bottom, but has never actually been gigged. This is a very cool overdrive gain pedal, based on the various classic Ibanez Tube Screamers. It has three different diodes to choose from, giving you a selection of different gain characteristics; which is kinda like having three classic Tube Screamers in one pedal. On top of that, this Screamer has a switchable boost too for standing out in the mix, when you need a little more volume. The Boost can be selected/deselected whether the Screamer is activated or not too. Tone, volume and gain controls are all very sensitive and easily controlled and give a wide range of overdrive characteristics. If you like your Tubes screaming with Power, this is the pedal to get.

Very neat and funky little 30w vintage valve bass amp made by Selmer in 1968, with all point-to-point wiring, with valve rectifier too. Bought here in Apr '12, having just been serviced and I've only used it twice since then. It comes with some pretty rare and valuable valves in it too; they're Brimar I think. See original advert here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173724-selmer-twin-bass-30-valve-amp-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...valve-amp-sold/[/url] I bought this amp for a studio project that I ended up not doing. Anyway I am playing guitar rather than bass these days. It's got a nice warm tone with a very effective cut/boost tone control that takes it from velvety Jamerson-type tones through to bright and punchy tones associated with late 70s funkateers like Bernard Edwards. It's also remarkably loud; but as you all probably know 30w of valve power is way more than 30w of transistor power. My amp tech says that valve wattage doesn't have a lot to do with how loud an amp is anyway. The great tone and loud punch are probably down to the enormous and very heavy indeed transformers in it. I just tested it again with a 79 MusicMan Stingray into a 1x15 MusicMan ported cab and it sounded fantastic. You can get a good growl out of it too. Only thing I need to mention is that while it's warming up it tends to hiss and hum a bit, typical of vintage valve amps from '60s; but once it's settled down to playing temperature it's fine and virtually no hiss at all. Sold for £124.75 on the Bay

pm on way re Copilot

I love compressors and if I didn't have three already, I'd be all over this, especially as Spencer's gear is soooo good. BTW - great pic for your posts you've got there - I saw that bass player on Jools and thought...now that is a playing face! Have a bump on me..

Rats, I was after left-handed angles! Have a bump on me for this tomfoolery. Seriously tho, these are great cables....just resist the temptation to over-bend the cables when tightening down the jacks. The cables aren't weak or anything; it's just that by not over-bending the cable the jacks bed into the cable more easily for a better contact.

do you have the grill cloth and badge too? if so, in what condition?

Hi Due to misunderstanding on my part and great comms, clarity and patience from the excellent Mr Topo Morto, I haven't bought the Morse Device after all. Topo is a top bloke to deal with and here's a Morse bump, bump, bumpety, bumpety, bump.......BUMP for his troubles with me.

Ill t-t-t-take that stutter Pm to follow

[quote name='vindi' timestamp='1361212981' post='1982933'] 2 x 4 ohms cabs in parallel = 2 ohms = fried bassman 2 x 4 ohms cabs in series = 16 ohms = very little power 2 x 8 ohms cabs in parallel = 4 ohms = most efficient [/quote] That's v informative - thanks Mr Vindi I have both a 1x15 8ohm cab and a 2x15 (2 x 8ohm spkrs) cab which I know gives me 4ohm load. The Bassman 2x15 cab (exactly like one being sold here) is awesome and v efficient indeed; especially since I reinforced all seams of cab and braced baffle to back board of cab. The 1x15 cab (which is actually an old MusicMan ported cab) is less loud, but gives more grind. Both send me to bass heaven with that 135 head, which is definitely way better than the Bassman 100. Incidentally I now play guitar more than bass and for big gigs I will put guitar through the Normal channel of the Bassman 135 and the 1x15 cab. This is actually the original Bassman configuration for guitar, of course. Apparently Leo Fender's favourite cab for guitar was a 1x15. He was right too in my personal experience. I reckon this rig is just as awesome for guitar as for bass. Bumparoo for you, Karim

As far as I know, the Bassman 135 can run 4ohms or 8ohms of impedance load from speakers. I think two 4ohm cabs would amount to 2ohms, which I reckon would result in a fried Bassman head. However you may be able to do something clever that I don't understand, like run the two 4ohm cabs in parallel instead of series or vice versa and create an acceptable load for the amp......NB. I have no idea how you would do this or if it is correct! Meanwhile karim...have another bump on me

I think hotrodding is a bit more internal trickery. Channel jumping is fine, just start with gain down a bit on both channels and raise them til it squeals, just before that point is v sweet with a bit more grind. You wont do any damage if youre careful. Cant believe this rig hasnt sold already. Whats wrong with you peops?! This is a rig to sell a limb for.... Have a bump on me.

Have another bump on me - I have the exact same rig and it is 'da bomb'! Nothing compares and it can outstrip any other bass rig IMO for big bottom and beautiful warm clarity. They get nice and gnarly if you jump the channels with a patch lead too.

Pm re Dylan book

Hi Mr Ghost Rider I don't mean to hijack your post; but not sure how to attach image in direct message....anyway, I notice you have a great amp stack listed in your signature and just want to say nice choice! Here's mine, which is also a 1979 Bassman 135 and 1979 Bassman 215!

Have a bump for free in admiration of a fine amp. I've owned mine for over 15 years; its never let me down and it always sounds in-f#%€ing-credible with either bass or guitar.
