Here's another one of my mate Nigel's Bass amps for sale. Nigel (Bumnote on Basschat) passed away in April last year and his Family have asked me to sell on his gear. 12 Bass Guitars sold already and now moving on to his Amps and Cabinets. This amp 'does the business' and is in great, fully functional condition.

Comes with the Blackstar padded gig bag.

 

These amps retail at £599 so I'm pricing this to sell.

Happy to post anywhere in the UK if the buyer arranges collection from me.

Collect in person in Southampton if you'd prefer to travel. 

Payment via Bank Transfer or Paypal.

Hi mate sorry I missed this. I haven't really put the octave, or any of the effects, through their paces yet. I usually don't use the amp for band practice but I'll take it next week and give it a good trying out.

 

I find the response and character switches make a huge difference to the sound. My default is classic + linear, which gives a slightly more mid heavy sound which suits a band mix well. I did use the flat setting more with my Jazz, which game a tremendously clear full range sound which suited the bass really well. 6L6 and 6550 modes offer up some grind and the 6L6 I found particularly punchy.

 

I realise I need to play with it a bit more, now that I'm so familiar with my bass in a range of contexts, so that I can properly assess the range of sounds available. Since getting the amp I have only used it a handful of times, pretty much with a different bass each time in a completely different context, so now that I have a stable setup (ha!) I will be able to assess it more easily.

 

I have definitely found the compressor to be bang on for my needs, though - it's worked perfectly with everything I've thrown at it.
