For sale is a Vanderkley Spartan amplifier (with Vanderkley gig bag) and a 112MNT 600w (8ohm) cabinet, including power cable and Speakon.

 

Personally, this is the best sounding electric bass rig I’ve ever played through (your mileage, of course, may vary). I just could do with something more suited to double bass, and no longer use this enough to justify it. It’s been my gigging rig for the past few years and has always been reliable, loud, no hissing etc but does have some scuffs (most noticeable on the corners of the cabinet, and a bit on the master volume knob of the head) which I feel i've reflected in the price.

 

I would consider selling the head and the cab separately, most likely for around £1000 for the head and £400 for the cab. £1300 being the Brucie Bonus price for the two together.

 

Feel free to get in touch with any questions you may have, or to come round to have a brew and a play. I'm based in north-east London, near Woodford.

Cheers!

 

Manufacturer’s Specs

Head:

Spartan Vanderkley Amplification set out to address shortcomings seen in previous amplifiers when designing the ultimate bass amp. The resulting amp prioritizes clarity, directness, and intricate detailing, while maintaining potency and warmth. This bass amp faithfully captures the instrument's character and nuanced playing style, offering ample headroom and dynamics without altering the sound. Its reliability, user-friendliness, robust build, and aesthetic elegance align with Vanderkley's vision. The outcome is the Spartan high-performance bass amplifier, meticulously crafted to complement neolite bass cabinets known for seamless power handling and precise projection. Notably, the Spartan manages a 4-Ohm load on each output, accommodating two 4-Ohm cabinets or four 8-Ohm cabinets. This versatility, combined with other design elements, transforms the Spartan into a potent, portable bass amplifier. In essence, Vanderkley Amplification's Spartan bass amplifier embodies tonal finesse, power, and ease of use.

Cab:

112MNT NeoLite speaker cabinets are made out of very strong but lightweight, void free birch and poplar plywood, dowelled joint construction and internal bracing. All woodworking is done with ultra precise cnc-machines. The NeoLite cabinets are loaded with the latest generation custom-made neodymium drivers. The drivers are absolute state-of-the-art; constructed from a cast aluminum frame, neodymium magnet assembly, unique coil and magnet cooling design, waterproof cone material, linear frequency response, high power- and sensitivity-ratings. Cabinets with a tweeter feature a custom-made filter with tweeter protection circuit and a high frequency attenuator on the back panel. Here you will also find two Neutrik® speakon/6.3mm jack-combo connectors linked parallel. All speaker cabinets are sealed airtight from the inside so the air will only enter or leave the cab thru the tuned port-tube mounted on either the front or back or both. All speaker cabinets are covered with black carpet, which will protect your cabinet for years to come. Every speaker cabinet is hand-made by Marc Vanderkley. The NeoLite series bass cabinets are the ultimate in portability and power without any sacrifice to true and clear tone.
