FS Darkglass Microtubes M900 Bass Head with Footswitch £690
Kev replied to Kev's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Apologies for the delay in pics, will get them up! -
Darkglass M900, exceptional amp with the superb Darkglass B3K and Vintage circuits built-in, but is also capable of producing a hell of a lot of clean power and volume. The loudest Class D I have used, for sure, can do 900w at either 4 or 2 ohm switchable. In very good condition and comes in original box with the intelligent footswitch. Selling as for various reasons, primarily I am moving all drive etc back to my pedalboard and using an amp for on-stage sound only, the rest going FOH from the board. I wont be using the drive circuit anymore, which seems a waste [disclaimer - I am still very much using Darkglass drive, just via a AO and B7K Ultra!] Now Reduced to £690 plus shipping Shipping included, no trades please. Pics on request but should be up later. Thanks!

PM me a price dude when you have one

Been up for a while, too rich really, offered £750 with option to offer more off eBay to avoid fees etc, wasn't interested. Nice bass, fat necks on these though and not NT quality.
-
Pictures, and will you sell the head alone?

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1509301786' post='3397908'] Apparently these Korean Streamers were £1100 to £1300 new, back in 2011/12, for anyone interested. (No one? Just me then. ) While they are great guitars, that seems a high price to pay, although comparable to Korean built Sadowskys and Laklands I suppose? Frank. [/quote] Comparable with any high end budget production instrument really They are built in Germany now and sold as Teambuilt under the GPS banner.
-
This would be my old bass, yes? If so, this is an incredible bass. Build is fantastic, this was basically made at the start of the new Warwick era, they are immaculate and the woods on this are lovely. Not many of these about, expect to pay over £5k new! -
Incredible, the woods are just wonderful.

[quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1508788720' post='3394476'] You're confusing burl (or burr over here) with spalted wood (which is rot/mould) [/quote] I am getting confused for sure! Maybe I was just confusing burl in other woods with Buckeye Burl, which is certainly soft and patterns are caused by rot. Thanks for clearing that up
-
That's actually bubinga pomele, burl wood is basically rotting wood that happens to look pretty, but generally soft and unsuitable as a solid oil finished body. Can't say I've ever seen bubinga burl?

[quote name='Kellboy' timestamp='1508700148' post='3393913'] It certainly is, and almost the same price as I payed for one brand new!!! Would love opinions on this.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Basse-warwick-/282700113719?hash=item41d23d6737:g:qxAAAOSw~RNZl13U [/quote] I have a Ltd corvette with bartolini humbuckers, it's one of the best sounding Warwicks I have owned, I bet it's a quality bass ☺️
-
Still at a complete loss as to who needs a head this small, sacrificing so much flexibility and power and relatively speaking not so much cost. Majority of Class D heads will fit in your gigbag and weigh very little, so why go this small?

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1508511140' post='3392702'] I'm not 100% sure how this is still here? Super cheap!! [/quote] Chris, the figuring on the walnut pickguard is very familiar... -
[quote name='Kellboy' timestamp='1508354457' post='3391671'] Pics Please !!, and this man is why I'm so interested in a thumb, that Tone is KILLER! Ryan Martinie is awesome [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmjX2S04DEQ"]https://www.youtube....h?v=wmjX2S04DEQ[/url] [/quote] Ryan Martinie is one of the reasons I picked up a Thumb, his work with early Mudvayne is great.
-
Balance on a Thumb does seem to vary and the older models do seem to fair better than the new ones. Pretty much zero on my '89. Quite different basses, Streamers and Thumbs. Very different tone, particularly the 5 string versions I assume you will be looking at, different neck widths as standard as well. Feel very different on strap, not just balance issues but the first position is further away from the body on a thumb, will be more noticeable the higher up you have it on the strap. For me, Thumbs are fantastic instruments and have always preferred them to Streamers. Currently have one of each though...

[quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1508324332' post='3391332'] what a pair of beauts! how does that double p config sound? especially with the mirrored arrangement... the back of that Thumb is very tasty. I take it the neck is Wenge with cherrywood streamers(forgive me if that isnt the correct term)? [/quote] Double P is very aggressive and mid forward and a good deal louder than most other Warwick's I've had. Perhaps lacking a touch in the bass department when the bridge is solo'd, not surprising given the position of the pup. Preamp a little limited, tempted to install a Darkglass Pre to have more control of the mids. Preamp doesn't seem to be the usual MEC 2 band, voiced differently to my ears. Thumb neck is bubinga stringers
-
The reach is real, but coming from Dingwalls and their 37" B strings, its nothing more for me. The wood on it is just awesome: The streamer is a beauty but needs some fretwork doing on it. Tempted to do something with the pickups and preamp too, but anxious about devaluing!
-
Didn't know they did a BO Katana, who knew Never really been a fan of the shape but at that price for a German instrument you can't go wrong! -
Great changes on the B3K, the tone knob is the best part of the M900 pre.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1508160703' post='3390132'] For shame Kev, We'll have a good talk about the virtues of Precision Basses the next time we meet up for a deal. [/quote]
