If you can't find an original EBMM Sterling then this is the next best thing. I have an original EBMM Sterling and one of these converted to fretless. Excellent basses.

Rob Allen Lined Fretless Mouse 30 Bass complete with hard case.  Excellent condition.

If you are looking at this then you know what it is.

No trade offers please as I am semi-retiring and trying to reduce my collection.

If you type the @ sign followed by your name, and then click on the little window thingy, it comes up as @obbm.

Sadly it didn't work.  Maybe someone can edit it.

@scrumpymike - everything he owns unless he sells it between now and then

@Rich - Shuker 5-string, something else (will toss a coin on the day), Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T cab. 

@Kateplaysbass - Ashdown CTM-100 and LB212, Pawn Shop Mustang, medium scale ACG Finn, and maybe also ACG Recurve and Bass Collection 5 string fretless, since I'm thinking about offloading both of those

@Woodinblack -  Bongo, just to wind people up

@Richard R - Brawley 5 string, as usual, HB 5 String thing with Roland hex pickup and V-bass COSM synth.

@BreadBin - something interesting

@chyc - a very nice double bass, an Ashbory Bass, GSS 06B400MKD combo, and possibly Warwick Streamer fretless, Sandberg Custom 5 with Delano XTender, Sandberg TT Marcus Miller rip-off, BC 110T cabinet, BC 112mk3 cabinet, Acoustic Image Coda

@TRBboy - Frost Custom Basses PJ5 (my first build from scratch), Sandberg California TT5 Passive, possibly my customised Yamaha BBN5, Markbass Stu Amp 1000w, GR Bass GR 410+ (1200w, 4 ohm), a fairly unexciting pedal board 😅, & converted Trace 1x15" cab, if it's in a satisfactory state by then

@Stub Mandrel - Joyo BadASS & PJB C2, three or four hopefully 'interesting' basses.

@obbm - '71 Jazz, '73 Precision, Sadowsky HPJ, Genzler Magellan 350, BF One10 x2, Pedals plus TBA plus raffle donation.

I'd like to add myself to the list but I have no idea how to create the orange name thingys.  All I seem to get is plain text.  Can anyone help?

Why shouldn't I pair it with a 1x15?

On the Markbass website, the 151 "can be used as a standalone ... or in combination with a MB58R 102 ENERGY", which I have.

 

Member Bill Fitzmaurice should be able to explain exactly why.

In  answer to question 3 the experts always recommend using identical cabinets i.e. get another 2 x 10 not pair your 2 x10 with a 1 x 15.

Hello, I have just got my first Trace Elliot. It seems ( under all the dust and grease ) to be a gp11 mk2 1110 combo.

Could you please send me this manual?

Recorded 20 years ago.  Sadly the energy of the live performance was lost in the final mix. 🥺

Having sold all my Bergantino CN Cabs I am now down to a single rig comprising:

2 x Barefaced One10 and a Genzler Magellan 350. (I'd love to add a 3rd One10)

Back-up is a Warwick Gnome.

Also lurking in a flightcase is an Ashdown Retroglide 800 which is now surplus to my requirements.

I plan to head up from Falmouth again.  This time I'll bring my Fender oldies, a 1971 Jazz and a 1973 Precision along with my workhorse, the Sadowsky PJ, plus the BF One10s and a Genzler Magellan 350 which I acquired earlier this year.

I've had one of these for about 18 years but it's never been used much.  The tone stack is a traditional Fender design, the same as many pre-amps/amps.  The bass and treble controls are boost only and the mid control is cut only so flat should be min bass and treble and max mid.  I modified the voicing of mine by changing the capacitor values to match the Alembic F1X. 

Song: Everybody Needs Somebody To Love

Band: Saxa

Venue: Shoals Brewery, Porthleven

Bass: Sadowsky HPJ > Genzler Magellan 350 > BF One10 and PA

Backbeat G1 complete with case, original Euro-charger, lead and instructions all in original box

plus UK 13A charger.

Steve bought the last of my Bergantino CN cabinets. 

Faultless transaction once again and he confirmed that it had arrived safely.

Thanks Steve

Davie answered my wanted ad for a Behringer P1.  Turns out he had one lurking in a drawer.

All agreed very quickly and it arrived in a couple of days. 

What a star.

Sounds good.

I heard that the original had db and a bass guitar overdub, and that Herby Flowers gets twice the royalties  because he played both instruments. True or urban myth?

David

Herbie came to a SE Bash some years ago and confirmed it.  He played on it twice and got paid twice.

He gave us a rendition of it live with him on DB and with Dave Swift playing Bernie's famous Fender Jazz.

If you plug a DC cable, the 2.1mm co-axial cable, or even just an unwired plug into the external DC socket it will disconnect the battery. 

Now have adequate packing material so am able to ship within UK. 

What happened to the original SB14 neck?

Dare I suggest a Bergantino CN210?

Reduced to £55 posted.

Did this sell?

I never saw this line-up but I saw Jet Harris with the Jet Blacks in Slough in 1962

 supporting Little Richard and Sam Cooke.

Interesting, as it looks suspiciously similar to something like 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283964862682?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SsSiHyWXTLi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=O0J6pgZgSC6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY which I had considered at in the past as a possible mini power amp - but a lot more expensive. I wonder how long these can sustain their rated output without overheating but as you say, if Eich are prepared to put their name on it one assumes it performs. 
 

I have a 100-watt Nobsound, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274444339477, which I use to drive an active stool or a platform with drums. I think the Eich could be an uprated version of this although the price hike is a bit alarming. The 19-volt power supply is 60% the size of the amp so it's all a bit messy.  I've modified mine so the speaker outlet is now a jack rather than terminal posts however the input is still a phono.  I have yet to try it with a bass through a decent speaker.
