  1. What I did there, you saw it.
  2. Really it's how it compares to this that I'm interested in: https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/bass-guitar-amp-head/ashdown-abm-600-evo-iv-bass-amp-head?gclid=Cj0KCQiAmITRBRCSARIsAEOZmr7vF0xnTgDyYlkwRUEk0A3TPK98pUaX-FicPGPNnUJAyEZrRxtpvwEaAsanEALw_wcB
  3. I mean, it just looks BRUTAL. But does it do much different to justify the cost, and having some geezer's name all of it?
  4. So much want. Thing is, I have seen a few places say this is 600w, as opposed to the advertised and oh so awesome 666w, tell me its not true??!
  5. Lovely indeed. Warwickhunt knows more than me on these models as I think he had one, but this I think is an LTD streamer from 1990. Nice bass and a really decent price too. The crack doesn't really concern me, particularly if the owner is being truthful and its been there all these years.
  6. .... And now I have one on order!
  7. @wenbainhouse33 yup, pm me what you're thinking
  8. Replied, sale pending
  9. It's funny, before it was pointed out to me I loved the look of this, but now I'm really put off by the silver cloth; it doesn't really work. Basschat may have saved me some money for once!
  10. Ill go against the grain and say Superbrights are my favourite string at the moment and are on all my basses, flexible, punchy and a fantastic blend of warmth and brightness, with no breaking in period, they last ages too. However, they are nickel and I have different tone aims in mind maybe. Hi Beams are sickeningly bright, give them a go!
  11. Bump. Will do a splendiferous deal with the Mesa I am selling too...
  12. Sideways? Then you have the logo OCD I guess...
  13. black and tolex would look pretty cool in a stack I reckon
  14. Or pro series, or indeed a corvette proline. More pics needed!
  15. First thought was that it is not a Rockbass and that is a German Warwick. Corvette Standard for sure, looks like ~2003 ish model. However, straining my eyes more I am inclined to think they are not brass frets (could easily be the flash tricking the eye), which would indeed indicate a modern day Rockbass (2 piece bridge, no big Rockbass logo on headstock) or the Pro Series, and would put it early 2010's. Better pics needed, but price is nothing spectacular even at best case scenario really.
  16. Great little amps, all you need for home use and nothing like the cheap 1x8 and 1x10 combos you see
  17. Genuine imitation, you understand.
  18. Crazy how these are all like buses all of a sudden! Amazing amps, great price for what is basically a new amp and you should get all the support you need from Darkglass and the team, not that you'll likely need them
  19. Excellent top-end cabinet from Bergantino, ideal for those looking for a more traditional bass cab sound, rather than Super HiFi. 1x15 and 1x6 inch in a sealed cabinet, proper ceramic speaker but still really manageable for such a cab. In good condition with minimal scuffing and comes with branded cover. I never gig with my own cabs these days so this is surplus to requirements really. Specs: Description NV115 ‘New Vintage’ Series 1-15″ & 1-6″ Midrange Bass Guitar Loudspeaker Unique in the Bergantino Audio Systems line of speakers are the New Vintage NV series of bass guitar speaker cabinets. The NV series cabinets are sealed (rather than the traditional ported design) which provides the NV cabinets with a tighter and more immediate bass response. The cabinetry on the NV series employ a precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the finest 100% Baltic birch plywood. The NV series are covered in traditional tolex for durability (no more carpet fuzz for your cat to claw) and they all employ a rigid black grille to protect the drivers. The internal components used are extremely high quality and they are of Bergantino design. No ‘off-the-shelf’ parts are used. Woofers have ceramic magnets with vented pole pieces and the low-end on this series of cabinets is full and round. The NV series have remained a favorite of finger style and pick players because of the tight-creamy low end found with these cabinets. The NV115 incorporates a 6” midrange mated to a custom phase-coherent crossover network that extends the range of the cabinet up to 6.5KhZ. Want a little more clarity and open sound, but don’t like tweeters? This is THE cabinet for you! Sounds great with tube amplifiers (pull out the V4B, Model T, Hiwatt, etc.) and this cab will make you smile. Vintage heaven! Woofer: 1-15” Ceramic Magnet Woofer w/ Vented Pole Pieces Midrange: 1-6” Intelligibility NV Series Cone Midrange Driver Cabinet Design: Sealed Cabinet Material: Baltic Birch Plywood Cabinet Covering: Black Tolex Impedance: 8-ohms Power Handling: 400W RMS Crossover: Custom Phase-Coherent Crossover Frequency Response: 45hZ – 6.5KhZ Sensitivity: 96db @ 2.83v / 1-meter Dimensions: 24”H x 18-1/2”W x 15”D Weight: 53 Lbs. Located in Leamington Spa.
  20. Amazing price on this, can't believe it's still here!
  21. Still here.

    Have to say, impressed with your attitude. If I had picked up a bargain, I'm not sure I could hand on heart say I would go to these lengths to check whether or not the item had been stolen or similar. Fortunately, I am an excessively unlucky bugger and I will never find such things at a car boot! Personally though mate, I would take the approach of keeping the bass as you bought it fair and square and, other than its value being higher than what you paid, you don't seem to have any real suspicion of foul play. If someone comes to you claiming it was taken from them or similar, let them offer their proof and make a decision privately, but ultimately I would just enjoy some good fortune at a great find
  23. Do you know if these will drop into a Warwick Thumb bass?
  24. If you look closer, you will find that all the parts and other stuff included with their top end masterbuilt basses are insanely expensive. Warwick have done this for years to premium their top end models and make it difficult to upgrade a lower model or another bass entirely. Their brass nut used to be £150!!! If you look at their lower range stuff i.e. the parts and stuff that don't just come with the masterbuilt instruments, their prices are really reasonable. It is just their way of keeping the exclusivity of the top models, which does suck for those who have those models I guess. Then again, those who can afford £5k odd on a new Warwick... The Leather case is not seriously marketed at the general public, hence the price. The fabric rockcases/flightcases are, hence their reasonable prices. That aside, my Mono Vertigo is worth every penny, and because of the extensive shock absorption tech for me I find it much safer than a hardcase for general use.
