To anyone interested, both speakers are definitely Black Widow (1502DT) and both are 4 ohms. As edited above, there is no damage to the fabric covering to either speaker.

Hi Bartleby. I thought this would be noted on the plate on the rear of cabs, but of course not!! I've downloaded a brochure which says that the speakers are available in both 4 and 8 ohms, so I'll have to get the speakers out to check tomorrow. Suppose I should have expected this question. Will post again tomorrow. Graham

OK, rob me - £250 the lot, let's be 'avin' you!

OK, £250 the lot, rob me!! Hi, I would obviously prefer to sell this as a whole, but will split if the whole package doesn't sell. I've used this for bass in the past, and it sounds great, but we are just using it occasionally as an add on to our pa, to beef it up. The 115bx BW speakers are different. The US made one is quite a bit heavier than the UK made/assembled one and doesn't have the BW badge. I understand that both are fitted with the 15" Black Widow speakers though, as suggested by the model number. The CS400 power amp and Probass 1000 pre amp are housed in an SKB case as per pictures. I set this all up this morning, and it all works fine, although the on off switch on the pre amp is stuck at "on". No problem for me, but could easily be replaced if you needed it. See also pics which show loose pvc covers which still protect the cabs, but are in below average condition. I have a manual for the CS400. See one pic which also shows two RCF horn units with built in crossovers which are included in the price. I'm in Bournemouth and don't mind a reasonable drive to deliver or meet up, but much too large and heavy to ship, so collection would be ideal. Any questions, please ask away. Cheers, Graham EDIT: BOTH SPEAKERS ARE DEFINITELY BLACK WIDOW (1502DT), AND 4 OHMS. NO DAMAGE TO FABRIC COVERING.

Sold, subject to the usual. Thanks for looking

OK, pre weekend, and final price drop. £475 including shipping. Going back in the "store" if this doesn't sell at this price.

Hi Andy, (Got your name from your band website.) Shame about the finances, I might listen to a near offer now, there don't seem to be many of these around over here at all. For your info it's a really nice simple bass to play, smooth matt finish to the neck, and a real thumper, if that makes sense? The neck is quite wide at the dusty end, see first post. The sort of retro look usually gets favourable comments at a gig, as does my old Reverend Rumblefish (US made predecessor, but oddly not as well constructed as the Mercalli), however, I'm keeping that one. Anything else, please ask. Graham

Yes, Pinball, it is a very nice bass thanks. Like the look of the Guild too - very retro! Have a look at the Reverend range of six strings, most of them have a retro look too, and great prices. Rick Vito uses them, and they're a real cult brand in the US. Somehow haven't caught on here, from looking at a lot of web sites the nearest Mercalli basses available new from stock are in Holland at 1,099 euros. Graham

Just noted that I haven't mentioned the weight, which is around 9 lbs. The condition is 9.75/10, I can't find a mark on it anywhere. If you click any of the pics it takes you to the Photobucket set which shows further pics, including an OK protek case, which is included in the price of course. Anything else, please ask. Cheers Graham

Sorry to see this go, but I am keeping my old Reverend Rumblefish to gig with and this one is not getting played nearly enough - hence its almost "as new" condition. It's a nicely balanced 34" scale, passive, with simple controls, full demo is here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPb4239BL2o[/media] Fine details from the Reverend site are here: [url="https://www.reverendguitars.com/instrument/mercalli-5/"]https://www.reverend...ent/mercalli-5/[/url] I believe these are made in Korea then shipped to the US for quality control, and the ZSG signature near the s/no is Zak Green's in the US. The neck at the 12th fret is 2 5/8 inches, so not for small hands. String spacing at the bridge is about 19mm centre to centre string. The price is fixed, and I'm not looking for any trades thanks, ten basses at 69 years is already too many!!! Price is plus carriage, which is around £20 in the UK, or you can collect from Bournemouth and try it out first, or I will meet up at a fifty mile radius. Any other questions please ask.

Great underestmated bass. I have a five string version which is my "go to" bass. Good luck with the sale Horvath! Graham

Have patience, I'm sure this beauty will sell. I had to wait a while to sell my LG3005. Most buyers will probably have to sell something first to fund this sort of money. Bump for an absolute top bass in a great finish. Graham

Lovely bass, the EMG's give this a completely different sound to the later 2500, and a much nicer finish than my black one. Bargain folks!

A bargain folks!

Same colour as mine but in a more original state. No probs stringing B to G if anyone is wondering. This is worth every penny of the original asking price, good luck with the sale. Graham
