  1. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  2. The distant ice cream van style Mr Brightside intro
  3. Much as I'm not really into Northern Soul there's some songs within that style that I think are great uplifting pop songs. I cannot bear ' The Snake' though, those terrible Benny Hill ' Ernie ' key changes. Truly the Mustang Sally of Northern Soul. I've successfully avoided ever having to gig that song, always managed to have enough of a tantrum to prevent it happening.
  4. USA G&L Fallout that has served me well, bought from BC'er Ash 2 years ago and it immediately became my main bass. No gigs until one in October and a solitary rehearsal per month, I can't justify sitting on my fancier gear, as with the old GK amps I'm selling. Huge sounding bass with no dead spots or gaps in the spectrum. I didn't click with Mustangs whereas the Fallout fits me like a glove and I was able to play any style I needed on it. There's a ding on the left side of the body that can't be seen from the front, it never bothered me but it is there, hopefully it's apparent on the attached pics. Thanks for viewing, collection only but happy to meet up within reason. Cheers Martin
  5. Yes, the main is 300 into 4 ohms, the high ( for want of a better term, you can use full range) is 100 into 8 ohms. But either / or both/ one amp not used, no problem. Cheers Martin
  6. Hi Shug, either amp can be used discretely or not as needed. The classic application is the 300 watt main into an SVT cab at 4 ohms. High amp is 8 ohms only.Many thanks, Martin
  7. This is a sale with a heavy heart, probably my favourite amp I've owned or used. The truth is I'm sitting on too much gear with hardly any gigs on the calendar. My 700rb will get the job done for what I need. The price is firm and I'll throw in a 4u case. Buyer to collect, please, UK only. Thanks, Martin
  8. Hi, The 400rb can get very loud with the right cab ( svt 810 or a 2x15 with EVs or new Neo equivalent) but it is 200w into 4 ohms, probably 125 into 8 ohms. There's some magic in how the RB series GKs work the speakers. Size for size though, I'd not want to claim that a modern boutique 1x12 being driven by the 400rb would be drastically louder than the setup you have, there's so many variables. I guess you could justify it as a head to use with, say, a rehearsal room cab as an alternative to your combo. Thanks for the interest despite me not really answering your question! Cheers Martin
  9. Thanks Gary, my son is racing at Herne Hill in April....if it's hanging around still I'll be in touch! Cheers Martin
  10. Mxr Bass octave deluxe. Bought as a backup to my OC2, no box or manual unfortunately. £85 posted, UK only. Thanks for viewing
  11. Gallien Krueger 400rb from ( I think) 1988. All original caps on controls, no nasty crackling when turning the dials. Works and sounds great. UK voltage not modified. Pretty firm on price as when I look on marketplace they're priced between 250 and 400. Sadly I won't courier it; too many previous courier woes. As it's a 35 year old amp it's probably more sensible to try it out first, I'm not totally against meeting up on the motorway but obviously that rules out a try out. One of the greatest sounding amps IMO, particularly through an old SVT 810, I'm not doing anything musically classy enough to warrant using it regularly unfortunately. I'd consider a GK neo 1x12 or 2x12 as a trade with cash adjustment. Thanks for viewing, Martin
  12. George Murray with Bowie '75 to '80 James Jamerson Jaco Marcus Miller Willie Weeks John Entwistle Joe Osborn Dave Richmond Bernard Edwards Tony Levin Mick Karn Robbie Shakespeare By and large players that sneak their identity into some of the great songs in the history of popular music, that can develop a song throughout its duration and arrest the ear. Highly subjective obviously. I'll immediately remember someone else now I've posted; some great names posted previously.
  13. Apologies for vagueness: I have a potential buyer collecting early next week, I'm duty bound to put it on hold. There's a few people who've messaged who I'll let know if it doesn't happen. Thanks for the interest, Martin
