    Ah I'm back in 1989 when I owned two of these! Cool basses that always felt solid and dependable. This looks in great nick too.

    Hello all, NOW SOLD.... Time has come to sell my Aguilar GS410 - its a very powerful, loud and lovely sounding cabinet, but alas too big for my needs now. It's a beast - 700w, 4-ohm cabinet, with four Eminence 10-inch drivers, a central tweeter with separate volume, plus top and bottom front ports. It's punchy, wonderfully transparent and huge sounding, plus does grit and grunt when pushed harder. The best bass sound I've had, and one remarked upon by other musicians I've gigged with. I bought it from Basschatter richardd in mint condition about 10 years ago, and its been infrequently used since. I took it out for three big outdoor gigs recently and while it reminded me how awesome it sounds, it's also way more than I need. It's in very good condition, with a few very minor marks on the plastic corner pieces as expected from gigging use. I've replaced the caster wheels at the bottom after one of the original smaller ones broke. I've got about four spare ones too which I'll throw in too. Comes with a clean padded Aguilar cover too, and lives in a pet-free, smoke-free home. Can't ship this given its considerable size and weight (44kg) so its meet up or collection only in Leicester or nearby. If you're interested I'm sure we can work something out. Looking for just £400. SOLD (These are currently £1,200 new). Specs from the website: Four 10" cast frame woofers, 56 oz. magnets Phenolic tweeter with integral phase plug Custom crossover with variable tweeter control One Neutrik Speakon and two 1/4" inputs Deep Dish Handles, Locking Corners 7 ply, void-free Philippine Mahogany Power Handling: 700 watts RMS Frequency Response: 40 Hz - 16 kHz Sensitivity: 101 dB 1W 1M Impedance: 4 ohms Dimensions: 28 ¼”H x 22 ½”W x 16 ½”D Weight: 98 lbs

    See i've not fancied the MIM versions before, but that USA one looks fantastic. Maybe the colour and the maple board. It looks really good.

    Which cab was that Dave?

    I've got a 1210R which is old and quite tatty now, but is my go to amp and i like the sound a lot. Mulling the idea of getting a 21012 or a 1212 to go with it - or is that just greedy ha ha?
  8. bassbiscuits
    That's great. These are lovely basses. I have a sunburst '70, the same weight, same neck profile etc. Pickups really growl and they're lovely instruments.
  9. bassbiscuits
    Ha ha no worries buddy! I totally forgot I'd asked too.
  10. bassbiscuits

    Hello - how wide are they? cheers

    Raise the strap a bit to lessen the angle on your fretting hand's wrist? I've gradually raised mine over the years (when i was 20 i didn't want to know, but now I'm 45 comfort is becoming an issue). It certainly makes fretting easier and seems to balance the instrument better too (more of it in constant contact with me). Worth a go innit?

    That's beautiful - i've got a cream/white MIJ version and they're cool little basses.
  15. bassbiscuits
    Ha ha - good shout. 4kg is a good weight tho.
  16. bassbiscuits
    How much does it weigh exactly? lovely looking bass
  17. bassbiscuits
    That's rather lovely isn't it. Beautiful condition. Gotta love those block inlays too! GLWTS - that's a really good example.

    I sometimes use the following set up for big gigs when I need everything I can muster! Markbass LM2 into a Schroeder 1210 (4ohm). Another Markbass LM3 into an Aguilar GS410 (also 4ohm). Using any pedal with two outputs to split the signal (i think it was a chorus pedal switched off at the time). Sounds massive and very satisfying!

    Aye - hiscox lite flite are the industry standard for strong hard cases that are still light enough to carry easily. Otherwise, semi rigid gig bag crossovers such as Protec Contego and the Gator equivalent are both very good - decent protection (but less strong than a Hiscox) lots of pockets and straps to carry on your back. Ive had both but just have the Hiscox now. It's more protection than I need usually, but handy for the rare occasions I need to fly with a bass in the hold.

    I started in 1986, mainly to annoy my older brother who had decided to learn guitar. I wanted drums, didn't have the space or money, and bass was the compromise. Plus I fancied the Kay bass my best mate's brother had left behind when he went to uni. My dad stumped up HP payments on stuff for me and my brother, from Picton Music in Swansea. My bass was a £60 short scale, white, plywood Satellite bass (identical to the pic below I found online) and a 5-watt Badger Piccolo practice amp also for £60. We paid my dad back from our paper rounds. I also bought a book by Jim Gregory and Harvey Vinson called 'Bass Guitar' which had a floppy 7" single in the back, with tuning notes and a few 12-bar songs to play along with. Did the job tho. Both bits of kit long long gone tho. The bass was bad even at the time let alone nowadays.

    Does it count if i buy a bass for someone else? Got my lad a little Tanglewood bass last month, and collecting it from my dad in a couple of weeks. How do I stand? I must confess i bought a secondhand strap too, to replace one that was literally falling apart. I'm on shaky ground - its only finances that's keeping me in check at the mo!
  23. bassbiscuits
    Ah alas I'm after a gold finish to match my other hardware. Looks like a decent bridge tho!
  24. bassbiscuits
    Pictures?

    I had two of these in the late 80s and they were decent basses - really well built and solid sounding bits of kit. I've got a soft spot for getting one for old time's sake.
