    Laney DB 300C?

    Bigwan replied to rco95's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I had one of these heads for a few years. It was reasonable, but not really good enough to leave a lasting impression. For a little more money you could do MUCH better on the second hand market (for example I bought an orange terror bass for £300 + p&p - sounds much better to me and is STUPIDLY loud/small - the Laney is sizeable, and not light either).

    Just sold James my Warwick Corvette. Excellent, hassle free transaction. SUPER fast payment and great communications. Nice guy to boot! Deal with confidence!

    Why thank you kind sir! Hope Germany's treating you well!

    I've just sold a 1995 German made Corvette Proline, wenge neck (more desireable than the Ovankol it would seem - much nicer profile than more recent models), bubinga body, passive MEC pickups in almost new condition for £350. Look further for your money. There was a chap on Fastfude (Northern Ireland site) who had a German made Ash bodied Corvette for sale a while back for similar money - no recent updates so if it's still there it may be had even cheaper.

    These are excellent preamps. If buttery, fat clean tone is your thing, this is the preamp for you. IMO it doesn't do dirty, but not everyone wants that. I plan to build myself a clone of my old one when I get the time...

    I'd add a Sandberg Ken Taylor to the list if I were you... just to confuse things further!

    EDIT: Open to bass trades on this. Especially for Jazz/Precision type basses. Fender, Lakland or Sandberg and P+J/P+MM for preference, although won't rule out a straight Jazz, especially a Lakland JO 4. Something with a little cash my way would be nice... Also interested in a Genz Benz Streamliner (600 or 900) with a little cash my way or an iPad or decent netbook/small laptop with cash my direction. You can try me with other trades but I've very little cash to offer your way at the minute.

    I've just had one of these with me for some repair work (user "error" - dropping a bass face down does bad things to machine heads). They are better than they have any right to be for the money... Not associated with seller, just adding my tuppence worth.

    If someone buys one of my basses I'll be in touch... unless you're interested in one of them!

    Security. Anyone can reuse pics they see on the internet to try and con someone into buying something that doesn't exist, but I'm the only one with the unmodified pic. Maybe a bit overcautious! I put that pic up to show the era of the bass - serial number ends in 95 as it was made in '95.

    Bongo 4HH in saphire black with moonstone pickguard. Excellent condition except for the 'from the factory' headstock damage, one scratch on the rear of the body and one ding on the fretboard @17th fret (about 1.5mm) - all pictured. With the dual humbuckers and 4-band eq this is a very powerful sounding, flexible bass, but I need to cull the herd as mini-me no.1 is imminent and my precisions and jazz get all the playing time... £650 including shipping. Apologies about pics - I'm the worst photographer on the planet! I've included some with and without flash to try to compensate... EDIT: Open to bass trades on this.

    1995 Warwick Corvette Proline for sale - this model subsequently became the Standard. Desireable wenge neck (thin profile - not quite jazz dimensions but close) and a beautifully figured bubinga body, the nicest example I've seen. Passive with volume, blend, tone. Sounds brilliant, so much so that I based the wood choices for my Shuker Custom 6 on the sound it produces. Excellent condition. Pics show the worst marks on the bass - small thumb position marks above both pickups (only visible at certain angles) and some wearing of the gold writing on the pickups. Only other point to note is the control cavity cover is broken (surprise, surprise) and is currently blue-tacked shut. Not a huge issue. Culling the herd as the arrival of mini-me no.1 is imminent and my precisions and jazz get all the playing time... £350 plus postage. No trades please.

    [quote name='buff' timestamp='1316723609' post='1382025'] It would help if it said turn back or amp will go into self destruct mode. Maybe if the amp was made in the UK i'd understand it all. [/quote] But that's not what it means. It means when the light is on the compressor is actively effecting (or is it affecting) the signal...

    If you want to try bi-amping you're guitar amp will not need to be anywhere near as loud as your bass amp - a cheapo solid state 50 watt 1x12 guitar combo with a distortion box of some variety will probably suffice.
  24. Bigwan
    For £300 don't read into John Entwhistle's sound too much! Consider adding an inexpensive guitar combo to a bass amp for that bi-amp thing (roll bass off on guitar combo and treble off on bass rig). Ampeg mini-stack too much for you? How long have you been out of things? Realistic gigging amp power is 300 watts MINIMUM. You're more likely to stick to budget with a combo, although a stack is still possible. You should be able to find a Peavey 2x10/4x10/1x15 and a decent head (maybe a s/h Hartke LH500, Ashdown MAG/ABM or Peavey something or other) within/right on budget. I've seen Ashdown 300w 2x10 or 1x15 combos go for that sort of money.

    I hate this sort of thread - makes me face-up to reality... Of the basses I have, 2 get played regularly, my Lakland JO and the USA P. The '83 Japanese SQ Squier P was a recent addition, which I'm undecided on keeping even though it's AWESOME (only need 1 P and the Squier is probably the better bass, but the USA P was a wedding present from the other half). The Shuker 6 string gets a dust off now and again but is criminally underplayed considering I comissioned it. The Ibanex ATK has only been out of its case a handful of times since I got it over a year ago (although I don't feel too bad since I know how little it cost!)... The bongo and warwick are going though, at which point the ATK will have free space on my wall, so is more likely to get a look-in!
