K&M stool model number 14044. This is the version with the cloth seat. Bought for an acoustic project that no longer exists, never left the house and is now surplus to requirements. Collection from Killingworth, or postage at buyers expense. This is a quality stool with a good range of height adjustment suitable for upright players (I planned to use it with my EUB). Any questions, please ask!

SWR SM900 for sale What many consider to be the ultimate bass amp and certainly the flagship of the SWR line, here we have my SM900 for sale. I’ve owned this amp for the last four years and have used her on pretty much every gig I’ve played including main stage at Stormin the Castle, and the O2 Academy in Newcastle. Swiss Army knife of tone, including bass, two switchable three band semi-parametric mids, treble and the SWR aural enhancer. This amp is a workhorse that’s been used but is still in good condition for her age. Known for running stupidly hot, I’ve modified mine by adding ventilation holes (pictured) in the top above the transformer, and adding a second external fan to force air into the amp housing. She now runs cooler than a cool thing. Currently racked in a 2U flight case modified to include a vent where the original fan exhausts from the amp. Only selling because if got other SWR amps and in truth I need the space. Price is £300 including flight case or £250 without. Collection from Killingworth preferred, as she’s a heavy beast and she’ll be expensive to post.

Sire V7 bass for sale I bought this Sire V7 bass to keep in Holland when I worked out there, now I’m home she’s been relegated to fifth place in the bass line up and she’s too good for that. Finished in black she’s immaculate apart from one patch on the back where it looks like the finish has reacted to the rubber on the stand I kept her on in Holland. The finish is intact and not soft, but you can see the contact patch from the stand in one location. I’ve tried to photo this but it’s a bugger on a shiny black bass! I’ve ‘upgraded’ her to metal knobs from John East but she’ll come with the original plastic knobs and the original tort scratch plate. Great active five string bass and she’ll come in the Sire gig bag which was an extra purchase. Prefer collection only from Killingworth. Price £400, or £350 without the metal knobs and gig bag.

Here she is on her debut gig. And without wishing to repeat myself, Wow what a fabulous piece of kit. I’m smitten 😍

Up until quite recently, I’ve exclusively used active basses starting with my Ibanez Roadstar RS940, all the way to my trio of John East equipped Overwaters. But then I assembled a passive five string precision and I’m quite blown away with the difference. It’s hard to explain, and maybe it’s just that I normally don’t play P basses (I know 😞), but the sound feels more ‘open’. Anybody else experienced this or is it just me?

Yes, it’s a very ‘musical’ eq pre-shape. Sat well between two guitars and acoustic drums.

Wowzers! Just used this in anger for the first time today at rehearsal playing through an Ampeg 6x10. What can I say other than I’m blown away. Pre-shape engaged, EQ flat, passive five string Precision bass and this thing sounds and more importantly feels like a full valve amp. It has that ‘bounce’ and for those who are interested, it has enough heft to demolish walls. Whack on the doom control and it’s instant Geezer Butler. Can’t wait for tomorrows gig now 😎

This was me. I’d tried the ABM’s and the MAG’s in various rehearsal rooms and always found them to be a little dull or lifeless. Then I tried the Head of Doom and I’m a convert. Oh and spot on about the customer service - absolutely first class! Yes that was my point - by choice I meant choice of manufacturer rather than amplifier topology.

…..it’s a Platypus? 😂

This was me. Tried many Ashdown amps from the ABM’s to the Mag’s in rehearsal rooms and always found them to be a little dull or lifeless. Then I tried the Head of Doom and became a convert. And you’re spot on about the excellent customer service.

Without wishing to get into the whole 'heft' class A/B/C/D/E/F etc debate, I do feel like we have a much smaller range of options these days, or is that just the effect of my rose tinted glasses?

You could always buy this from me, its the proverbial Swiss army knife for acoustic bass and has the really useful notch filter for those problematic feedback frequencies. Only selling as an old hand injury makes double bass or EUB playing too painful.
