sixshooter Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) The time has come to part with this amp and cab, I will not split them as they belong together. I have to admit that I am no longer a young man and my back will not take any more from lifting a V8 and 4 x 12 around. This amp has the most incredible sound ever! 400 watts of glowing valves! It comes with flight case for the amp and cover for the cab and is in as new condition, it was owned by a very well know Bass player and went to Trace to have all mods put on the head prior to Gibson pulling the plug in the UK, I bought it from John Henry when it did not go back to the well known Bass Player, I have the invoice dated 20th Feb 2002 which is when I bought it. Serious offers above £1700 considered, but it must be collected in person as I will not ship, and funds must clear first. I do not want to get rid of this, however I have to face the fact that I will probably never use it again and it needs to be heard in use.

Kiwi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm going to add that this amp is pretty good as an all rounder, mine was gigged for most of the Spring. But with a Spector it absolutely kicks ass. One of those magical bass+amp combinations. Might work quite nicely for a Status as well given it and the Spector share a lot in common characterwise.

sashua Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) I am in New York. I get that you don't want to ship but I am a super-nice guy with excellent hygiene and a steady job. Just the kind of guy that you might want to RE-consider selling a fine bass amplification device to. I could make shipping nice and easy for you or I will be in the UK come December to collect it and could pay now. I'd prefer just the head (obviously) but I only want you to be happy....it's all I've ever wanted. Think about it :brow: I NEED a V8! Please e-mail me!

If you NEED a V8, then you need THIS one as I believe it is the best one out there! You sound like a nice guy and I do business already with a nice guy from New Your, but this is SERIOUSLY HEAVY! be warned..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixshooter Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Subject to my back holding out, I will be taking this out for what could be my final use of this fantastic V8 and 4 x 12 as there now appears to be 2 interested parties on two different continents! I will be introducing the small village pub Royal Oak, Hollywater nr Bordon to my rather large and impresive V8, (yes I know its overkill but what the heck!). So if you are fed up with the telly and want to see one of my bands "Whatever" perform then you know where to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixshooter Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Subject to cleared funds, it looks like the V8 may be sold. So I now have for sale the 4 x 12, rated at 900watts. Wheels fitted and also include a nice cover as well! Make me serious offers....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
