fretmeister Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) WITHDRAWN Selling my Mesa Bass Prodigy 4:88 I bought it new, directly from Westside in the last week of July this year. It was £1899.00. It is in perfect condition and comes with the cover. (Only the head is for sale - not the cab or the EUB) It's a big loud amp with huge punch. It easily rattles the windows (and everything else) in my house. Unfortunately I am now only playing in a local youth music trust orchestra group and this amp is far too much for playing with kids on clarinets. For rehearsals I'm using a Bass Cube 30 and I'm only getting a GB Head and the Berg 1x12 out for gigs with the full orchestra. So as much as I love it I can't afford to have it sitting round doing nothing.

I have tried to get some UK shipping quotes - all bookings via parcel2go are limited to £200 damage on amplifiers (loss at £2500) so that's no good. Parcelforce won't offer enhanced insurance on Instruments but don't mention amps - I'm waiting on an email for clarification from them about it, but if covered would be about £105.00 UPS want £175.00 to ship fully insured within the UK. So for that reason it is collection only. [b][u]Trades[/u][/b] I've been thinking about stuff I might want to try and pretty much narrowed it down to: EBS Fafner 2 Aguilar DB751 Both of those are available new at the same price as the Mesa's new price, so I'd be up for a straight swap.

davehux Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Breaks my heart, as Paul and I tried to get a trade deal going on this monster, but the courier costs just pushed my budget too far. He's a great guy and it's some amp, so dig deep and buy with confidence
Geddys nose Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Lovely, really fancy one of these but alas no money until something sells.
LukeFRC Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 According to your profile to collect this we would need to dissappear up your bottom....

davehux Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Told you it wouldn't stick around too long - pleased you got the sale
DiMarco Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Heh. Deal gone bad? Picking mine (new) up tomorrow or saturday. Best of luck selling this killer amp!
deepbass5 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Just wondered if it comes with a Hamster in there with dark glasses p.s. Your timing is dreadful, don't you know its Christmas next week and the wifes birthday two weeks after that.

fretmeister Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Bump. I've added a couple of trade options to the original post.
fretmeister Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Last bump before I stick it under the bed. £1450.00. Cash only. Collection only. No trades at that price.

[/quote] Certainly is, but unless I swap my orchestra for a hairy arsed pub band it wouldn't be the right amp to use at the moment!
