  1. I’ll double check the weight again. It’s about 25kg but it’s a nice compact box to carry without smacking your knuckles on the door frames…
  2. Still here then…. What’s putting you off? The location and pick-up only? The condition? The price? (surely not as it’s cheap as chips already!) People not yet back up to speed with gigging? I’m happy to travel within reason to deliver this if needs be. It’s doing no good here….
  3. Hi - no probs Vindi - it’s 62cm x 43cm x 43cm. I’ve added it into the original post now too.
  4. Yup. It’s been a great sounding rig for me. I just don’t have room or need for it now.
  5. Price drop to £50 + postage. Moving house and need this gone....
  6. Bump - price drop to £150 for this. Due to move house and need this gone...
  7. Second attempt at some pics of the cab in use on stage, and with other cabs for size comparison...
  8. Well done! I love it when you find a cheap bass that plays brilliantly, and the added enjoyment that comes from knowing that you’ve saved yourself a fortune by buying it. Result!
  9. I’d start out with the same cheap gear I could afford back then, so that I’d properly appreciate the good stuff I have now.
  10. Hiya TheGreek - not madly in need of anything in a trade (not amps, cabs or effects particularly) but feel free to PM if you’ve got something in mind.
  11. Exactly this - Maiden were one of the first bands I ever liked when I was 12 to about 18, and Steve Harris is one of the reasons I picked up a bass. I can’t say I listen to them anymore really apart from the very occasional need for a blast of The Prisoner or The Trooper.
  12. Hello, I bought this a couple of years ago for recording with a band which promptly disbanded and it’s sat in my drawer since. Hence its in very good condition, fully working, with power supply. Tiny bit of discolouration on the silver Line 6 logo. It’s a multi effects unit/amp modeller and simulator/ DI unit as well as being a handy headphone practice amp. No box, but I’ll package it up well. I‘ve printed off the manual from the Line 6 website. Looking for £50 (reduced from £65) or will post at extra cost. Cheers Chris
  13. No worries Rich. Hope you’re keeping safe, and by all means let me know if you get in a position to buy it.
  14. NOW SOLD THANKS Hi all, This has been my go-to cabinet for probably 10 years, maybe more, during which it’s done almost all my gigs paired with a Markbass LM3. Nowadays it’s scruffy cosmetically,and the price reflects the fact it could do with a bit of TLC, tho it’s in good working order nevertheless. The good things: It’s rated at 850w at 4ohms and anyone who has used one of these will know they are really loud and with good dispersion of sound onstage due to the angled speaker, and quite a mid punch sound that cuts well through a mix. It has a forward-facing 12” speaker, an angled 10” speaker and a tweeter/horn. I don’t know for sure whether the horn is working as I can’t hear much difference whether it’s turned up or off to be honest. Our excellent local luthier and amp repair man has maintained it during its working life - mostly small things like wiring etc - so it’s been well-maintained. The bad things: For some reason the rear access panel is missing a couple of its screws - I emailed Jorg Schroeder to get some replacements but he said they are just standard sized DIY shop screws - I’ll keep looking to see if I can find any equivalent ones locally. It’s perfectly secure without them as enough remain in place in back panel. The plastic corner protectors are quite tatty now but still functional, as is the slightly bobbly carpet covering in places. Comes with a clean, tidy, fitted Roqsolid cover. Cab is about 25-27kg - not massively heavy but definitely not neo light either. I’ve put some handlebar padded tape on the handles to make it more comfy to carry but can easily remove if you don’t want it there. Given its size and weight I can’t really post it, so collection or meet up somewhere accessible to Leicestershire is ideal. I’m after £175 which from memory is about half of what I paid for it secondhand originally, reflecting the cosmetic condition. I’ve moved to lightweight cabs over the last year or so don’t really have a use for it anymore. Any queries let me know. Dimensions added as requested - 62cm x 43cm x 43cm. Chris
  15. Yeah that’s a lovely looking bass.
  16. Mine was a terrible short scale Satellite bass with a body a bit like a double-cut Les Paul Junior. I sold it as soon as I’d finished paying it off on H/P and bought a Westone Spectrum ST instead. This was 1986/7. I saw the Satellite again in a secondhand shop in the late 1990s. Momentarily got sentimental and thought of buying it until the guy insisted it was brand new and wanted twice the price I’d paid originally. It was rubbish even when new and I doubt it still exists.
  17. Ha ha yeah there’s a few of us around. Take it easy and hope you enjoy the Basschat community!
  18. Hiya Bassfingers - another Leicestershire player here. Welcome aboard!
  19. Yeah I have a set of the Pribora strat ones and they’re really nice. Well made and nicely “stratty” sounding. Good pickups.
  20. Best gigs for me have been Stereophonics at Morfa Stadium back in 1999 (as much for the atmosphere of capturing that particular moment as for the music itself), Rage Against the Machine at Download 2010 (considering I wasn’t that interested in seeing them but they blew me away), and a brilliant but lesser-known singer songwriter called David Ford at a tiny, intimate gig in The Donkey Pub in Leicester some time in the mid 2000s, which was just stunning, intense and held every single punter’s full attention for the entire night. Most disappointing gig was Ryan Adams in 2015. Seemed to play everything at a dirge-like speed, including one of the only songs I actually recognised (the normally punchy New York, New York which was rolled out at a snails pace) punctuated with muttering asides and jokes no one got. Gutted.
