[quote name='ObscureRyan' post='924954' date='Aug 14 2010, 03:43 PM']Where are you at the moment? Becasue im interested but i live in the midlands.[/quote] I live near Hull, East Yorkshire, but do get around a bit! Depending on where I could maybe meet up with you somewhere half way-ish or something? Let me know and we'll see if we can sort it. Cheers. -
Now just £300, or make me a near offer? Looking for a Mark Bass LM head and/or a Barefaced Compact cab in trade.

Yes please! Will PM my details, thanks! -

Just got strings from Lawrence - exactly as described,sent them straight away& well packed. Great feller, thanks for an easy transaction mate. Cheers Pete.

Think you're right mate! The cabs will share the output equally between them if they are the same impedance i.e. both 8ohms.

Sold - please remove.

Any ideas if the case would fit a Stingray? -
[quote name='Doddy' post='919710' date='Aug 9 2010, 03:37 PM']I wouldn't say that. I'd much rather play in a theatre on a nice big stage through a decent PA,than play in a pub with people falling over your pedals.[/quote] +1 I've done a couple of tribute bands that played mainly in theatres, and loved it for the same reason. Usually easy load in/out, helpful stage staff and often great hospitality thrown in. Also enjoy starting at 7.30 and being finished by 10 too! However, I am fortunate enough to have other gigs where it's a bit more 'real', and to be honest really enjoy the variety/contrast of work. Maybe only doing 'polite' theatre style gigs would do you in after a while, but after playing in bands for nearly 40 years it does make a refreshing change to be able to have the luxury of room on stage and great PA etc.

[quote name='bassbiscuits' post='918780' date='Aug 8 2010, 03:01 PM']Mmm - nice amp! I'd be interested in this if i can sell my Ashdown head - I have a couple of GK cabs already and they are fantastic! Just curious - with one cab (4x10) would you just use the woofer output and not the tweeter/horn thing?[/quote] I've always just used the woofer output (which still gives a full range sound) and its been great. Did try using it bi-amped with the horn output too but not to my taste so didnt persist. With the right sort of wired cable you can use straight into some GK cabs and power the main drivers and horn unit seperately with both sections of the amp if thats your thing. Cheers-let me know if you sell your Ashdown!

I'll have 'em! PM me your details mate Cheers, Pete.

Turned up last night to play at wedding in marquee (usual stuff for us) - and it was brilliant! Great crowd, free bar, lots of lovely women and our PA sounded good too! Also had a stand in trumpet player (John Dunn from Darlington - 'Johnny Dep!') who despite his lack of years (21 the bu*ger) did an excellent job. Best gig we've had in a while, wish they were all like this etc.............
-
Also make sure you know which recorded versions they want you to learn - with You Tube / Spotify etc there are so many versions of the same song avilable. You need a definitive copy of the material on cd to make sure you're all going for the same thing, and avoid the "Oh we do the 'Live version from 1979' argument.................

Great rig! Would expect the amp to fetch maybe up to £100, the 2x15 around the same too? Is the 2x10 powered ? (Quite rare these days ,not a clue to its worth though!)
-
Never (sadly?) done a gig that demanded the sound of 2 basses - my Stingray can be coaxed into quite a lot of different noises. As for a backup, have never taken more than 1 bass to a gig. Only time I wished I had was when the battery in my Precision Lyte gave up the ghost with no warning mid set - fortunately I carried a spare but the band had to do one song without me. Never broken a bass string in 30 years, but again always carry spares - also have spare leads/strap etc. Of course I'll probably now break a string and have my bass die on me tonight!
-
Thanks for the kind words - bump for pics .

Although I love GK amps, this one is not getting used (as its my 'spare' and my other two never let me down!) Am also looking to get a 'small' rig together for gigs where I can get away with less kit / level etc. so would be interested in a trade/swap for a Little Mark head as well as just a straight cash sale. I've had this amp for around 3 years, and it's never missed a beat. Absolutely 100% reliable and lived in a strong rack from new. Been used in my function band, never abused at all so in excellent condition. Been regularly serviced and PAT tested too. Sounds fabulous with my 4x10 and/or 1x15 cabs - warm, loud and with the boost wound up can get a bit 'growly' too if thats your thing. Basic spec - 480 watts @ 4 ohms 320 watts @ 8 ohms 50 watts @ 8 ohms (horn amp) 4 band active eq, boost control, contour and presence controls, 4/5 string voicing, XLR DI out with pre/post switching, send/return/tuner out jacks, Speakon and jack speaker outputs, mute switch. Weighs around 17 lbs & takes 2U rack space. Quality USA made amplifier. [b]NOW SOLD[/b] Would prefer cash on collection / meet up / possible delivery (obviously depending on where etc.) I'm in East Yorkshire, but do travel around a fair bit ( mainly Yorkshire / Midlands but am in Surrey via M11 end of August) If you need any more pics then let me know. Cheers Pete.

I love my Danelectro Longhorn - 30" short scale, sounds great and cheap n cheerful too! Not the most robust bass out there but certainly one of the best.
-
I got mine through www.musicguard.co.uk Got my Stingray insured for £1200 and included was £1m public liability for a year - had to have it for a recent gig etc. Dont know if thats the best deal around, but worth a look, cheers.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='914676' date='Aug 4 2010, 10:35 AM']MM Sterling.[/quote] +1 - the Sterling gives you all of the MM goodness with a thin 'jazz' profile neck,so the transition from the Ibanez should be a lot easier.
-
SVT 3 Pro's seem to usually go for around £350 / £400 in good nick (assuming yours is the USA version) As for the cab, 8x8's are a bit of a rarity, so will depend on how much somebody wants it really (and condition of course). Reckon upwards of £250 - anyone else any ideas?
-
The 3500's are great amps. I had one at the same time as an Ampeg SVT3Pro, and actually preferred the Hartke - tonally just as good and seemed a lot louder too. Ultra reliable and easy to use, I love 'em. (Personally did n't find mine too heavy either!) The LH series is on my list of stuff to try after hearing the recommendations on here. Was n't such a big fan of the cabinets (Transporter series 4x10) but still great value for money - definitely the best in the price range.

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='908997' date='Jul 29 2010, 10:52 AM']Not the worst bass ever, but most uninspiring was a 1996 anniversary edition of a Fender Precision Lyte. Beautiful to look at, well balanced and great weight - zero tone! I'd love the bass back just so I could do something about it![/quote] I had one of those, same experience. Yet the Lyte I had before that was fantsatic-strange.
-
A mid 70's Fender Precision - weighed a ton, thick horrible finish and dull tone even with new strings. Must admit I've never found anything by Fender (basses and guitars) from that period to be much cop. Was cheap though, and made a small profit when I part ex'd it for a pre EB Stingray - which was everything the Fender was n't.

Shame I'm out on the 21st, as know every bloody song! (And I hate Clarkson too - Maybe I ought to advertise myself as the 'Dad Rock Dep'?)
