[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1339154518' post='1684442'] Oh Steve, how could you! Seriously, the black BG was one of the best basses I have owned and one I really regret moving on. The neck is superb and it's a very comfortable weight. Tempted......... [/quote] Nick i know i have had this longer than any other bass and still is the first choice for gigs subconciously hope the sunburst goes first hahaha, i know what you mean about the neck just feels right somehow, i'm going to end up talking myself out of this haha, How are things with you mate ?

Right folks i have 2 of these fantastic basses and to be fair i really only need 1, as much as i would prefer to keep both needs must so 1 will have to go, can't decide which so am going to put both up for sale and will sell the one that goes first if that makes sense. No 1 2008 model in Sunburst with maple board and mint green PG not 100% sure which pickups are in this one i have a feeling they are the Lakland( hanson ) ones, currently strung with Joe Osborne flats, will also come with white PG and a red tort and a Lakland gig bag. This is in mint condition i have not gigged it only used it at a couple of rehearsals. Price for this is [b]£530 posted[/b]. [attachment=109859:LAKLAND BG SUNBURST 2.jpg] [attachment=109860:lakland BG SUNBURST.jpg] The second is Black/Black/maple slightly older model approx 2005 i think bought here from Old Horse Murphy, this has Lindy Fralin Pickups and is again strung with Joe Osborne Flats, this has been my main gigging bass for the last 3 years, but is still in excellent condition, this will come with mint green, red tort and white PGs and a Lakland gig bag, Price for this is [b]£475 posted. [/b] [attachment=109861:lakland bg black.JPG] I will add some more photos of the black bass later this is the only one i have at the moment. Even though i only have a gigbag the guitar will be well packaged as i have a guitar box so will be inside that plus bubblewrap etc. I hope all this makes sense please feel free to ask any questions which i will endeavour to answer as quickly as possible. Not looking for any trades at the moment folks if it changes i will let you know. Cheers Steve

[quote name='walbassuk' timestamp='1330450029' post='1557738'] Are you only interested in a cash sale? Trades at all? [/quote] What have you got in mind ?

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1330436102' post='1557396'] Silly question - How do these amps sound with effects? I tried an old ashdown abm (is that the one with the sliders?) and found it was really muddy and had "too much" lows? Have ashdown sorted this with the mibass? [/quote] Couldn't really answer that as i never use effects at all, i also have an ABM 500 and i think this is more defined than that, with the eq it is possible to dial in most tones and is exceptionally versatile. Cheers steve

Bump for price drop now £325 posted which is £100 off new price only 3 months old, gigged twice cheers steve

Sunday morning bump

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1329859199' post='1548760'] Klystron 500, subtle as a flying mallet Steve [/quote] Haha thought you may like that, cash sale will achieve the same result mate all roads lead to the Klystron !!!!

Not 100% sure about this but i'm going to put it out there to see what happens, This was bought new from PMT in Manchester 3 months ago, with the intention of going lightweight and while i really like the ease and portability of this amp i miss some of the features from my old ABM, so going to see if there is any interest out there for it. Being a bit of a technophobe i have attached the info from the Ashdown site which explains all the features better than i could It fits in the pocket of a gig bag. Yet it’s big enough to fill a serious venue with warm authoritative Ashdown tone. Designed from the ground up the MiBass 550 packs 550W of Class D power and a plethora of pro features in a stylish, compact bass head measuring just 8.3 x 2.6 x 6.3 inches – and that includes an internal power supply. On the front you’ll find a switchable Active/Passive instrument input, input level control that allows you to match the input signal to your bass using the trademark Ashdown VU meter. The newly designed pre amp centers on a 7 band semi parametric EQ for precision tone shaping, use the rotary controls to select frequency and the sliders to cut or boost to the exact amount needed. Add even more low end with the 'Deep' button or instantly switch to a slap happy tone by engaging the 'Shape' button. The EQ can be bypassed completely with an EQ In/Out switch, the output level controls overall volume and what could be neater than a front panel-mounted line input with level control so you can hook up an MP3 player for practicing. The pro-theme continues around the back, where combination Jack/Speakon speaker outputs share panel space with a Pre/Post switchable balanced DI output for direct connection to a PA or recording console, an FX Send/Return for adding in your favourite effects and a very useful headphone jack for silent practice. Cheapest i can find these for online is £427 so for i cash sale i would be looking for[b] £300[/b] posted which is over £100 off the new price , straight sale only now as i have now acquired an ABM 500 Have attached a couple of iphone pics as i have no camera with me at the moment if you want any more info or more detailed pics drop me a PM [attachment=100615:mibass.JPG] [attachment=100616:Mibass rear panel.JPG] Cheers Steve

PM sent Cheers Steve

Now sold Thanks Lloyd

Cheers Karl Like i said let me know if you want to try out the mibass got a gig saturday night but any other time would be fine mate. cheers steve

[quote name='lloyd' timestamp='1329673533' post='1545669'] HI, is this still up for sale? [/quote] Yes still for sale LLoyd

[quote name='Jabba_the_gut' timestamp='1329559603' post='1544176'] Used to be mine this one before I traded it with MB1 (for a ABM500 head). Cracking amp and faultless condition. If I had the room and money, I'd have it back!! Have a bump [/quote] Thanks for that yes it is immaculate the only reason i'm even considering letting it go is that i now have the 2 cabs and so another amp head would be more practical. cheets steve

Thanks Martin how did the cab swap go this afternoon chhers steve

I bought this on here from Martin MB1 only about 4 weeks ago intending to leave it at our rehearsal space to save taking stuff backwards and forwards, however since then i have now changed all my stuff and bought 2 ABM cabs one of which i can leave in situ and just use with my MIbass head. This combo is British made dates to 2003 but is absolutely immaculate, contains original Ashdown blueline driver, you get the full 300 watts out of the combo. Has all the usual featues associated with the ABM i have also put a link on to Martins original sale thread. I am looking for £[b]225 [/b]for a cash sale or would be interested in a swap for an [b]ABM 500 head [/b]not bothered which vintage, but not the Rack case model. Am prepared to post or deliver within North West we can sort out the details if anyone is interested. There is a photo in Martins original thread to be going on with however will attach some more in next day or so. Will be sorry to see this go as it is a fantastic piece of kit for the money however another amp head is more practical for me, at this time.
