    For sale only -- no trades, thanks! Price is £250. This is a great combo amp... good tone, versatile EQ, loud, light, and reliable. 350 watts via the internal 2 x 10" speakers. 500 watts if you add an 8 ohm extension cab. 15 kgs. 23.5" x 19.5" x 14.75". Works perfectly. There is slight dent in the grille, near the top left. [url="http://i.imgur.com/zIcKMwK.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/zIcKMwK.jpg[/url] The only thing I would change is the orientation of the XLR (DI) output... it is facing the wrong way by 90°. (In fact, they did correct this in the later version of this model.)

    [quote name='xzodar' timestamp='1394182624' post='2388716'] Interested to hear from any BB owners who have fitted flats though. [/quote] I'm very happy with my BB425X with D'Addario Chromes, regular light gauge (45-132). I'm playing perhaps 80% motown/soul/disco and 20% pop/rock/other, and it works really well. I have a different nut to your 1024, but FWIW I didn't have to modify mine. I strung through the body without any problems - although I realize now there is no need. If I did it again today I'd go through the bridge.

    I've had the same K&K Bass Max for about 10 years, and you do not necessarily need a pre-amp. I've used it with different basses and different amps and never had a problem. I had the matching K&K pre-amp for a while but realised it didn't make a difference, so I sold it. It will be fine if your amp has an input impedance of 1 M-ohm -- check your manual. I previously had a Strunal 5/35 (i.e. a "Thomann 2") which I was happy with, although it is a five-string bass and as it turned out I subsequently wanted to return to four strings. So another bass model to consider is a Christopher -- I currently play a Christopher 304 Busetto (again from Thomann) which was £1,400, but there is the 103 model at £875 which is within your budget. One thing which is cool is that it comes with an adjustable bridge, which is useful to experiment with what action works best for you. I am using my bass pretty much as it came "out of the box" from Thomann. It did not need setting up or taking to a luthier. I use the stock bridge, tailpiece, endpin, and E/A steel strings. The only change is that I switched to Golden Slaps for the D/G strings -- as a personal preference, rather than there being anything wrong with the stock ones. As an aside, I really recommend the Golden Slaps! Easy to play and sound great (I'm playing jazz, swing, folk). I moved over after many years of using Spirocores. Here's a clip wth a swing band: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj9JczuV-o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj9JczuV-o[/url] Christopher > Bass Max > Streamliner > Barefaced Compact. Recorded with a Zoom Q2HD.

    [quote name='xzodar' timestamp='1386962023' post='2306977'] Reluctantly I'm selling the last of my jazz necked bases. I have to face the fact that I'm just more comfortable on a slightly wider neck. [/quote] Perhaps you already considered this, but just putting it out there. If you love everything else about your bass, how about swapping the neck? I recently had the opposite problem: I have a Matt Freeman P but realised I prefer a slimmer neck; problem solved by installing a Jazz neck. It was an easy, straight swap.

    This has now been sold.
  15. jrixn1
    The bridge was done by Hugh at the Old Violin Workshop in Hampton Hill. At the moment I'm looking just for a straight sale, not trades (thanks - I'll edit the initial post to clarify that).

    Bump, with some more photos: And the Thomann link: http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_kontrabass_25string.htm
  17. jrixn1
    The bass is still available, but I'm afraid it is collection only.
  18. jrixn1
    Afraid I won't be anywhere near Southend-on-Sea -- but I will be in SE London. PM'ed.
  19. jrixn1
    Reducing price to £780.
  20. jrixn1
    Reduced to £30!! Need to get rid of this... It is living in my hallway and it's in my way all the time!
  21. jrixn1
    [b]Price reduced to £780[/b] [b](Sale only, no trades.[/b]) The bass is in very good condition. I bought it new from Thomann two years ago. It is a hybrid 3/4-size "Strunal 5/35" (rebranded by Thomann as a "Thomann 2/5") with a carved spruce top and ebony fingerboard. A new bridge was professionally cut and fitted last month. The action is medium. Currently strung with Thomastik Spirocores, with a low "B". I will also throw in a Spirocore high "C", and Innovation Honey high "C" and "G" strings. Doesn't come with a bag/case, sorry. Collection from Wimbledon. Alternatively, I gig regularly across the south-east, so perhaps could deliver or meet half-way.

    [i](Edit: price reduced from to £150 posted)[/i] I bought this bass "nearly new" in 2011 and it is in very good condition. It is an active bass with two pick-ups. Controls are: master volume, blend, treble, and bass. It is 35" scale, with a 44mm nut, 16.5mm string spacing at the bridge, and weighs 4.2kg. It is currently strung BEADG with new Yamaha roundwounds. It is set up with a medium action and good intonation across the whole range. Small scratch on bridge, and some buckle rash on the back (see photos). No bag/case, sorry. Collection from Wimbledon, or postage included in asking price.

    Oops, I posted in the wrong section. How do I move to amps & cabs..?
  24. jrixn1
    This is a 1x15 Gallien Krueger cab, model 115BLX III. It is rated 200W, 8ohm. Weight is 27kg. It has one jack socket. Cosmetically ok (see photo) and functionally perfect. This is a deep-sounding cab which I have been very happy gigging with as an extension to a MB210 combo. Now replaced with a newer cab so surplus to requirements. Collection from Wimbledon. Alternatively, I gig regularly across the south-east, so perhaps could deliver or meet half-way.
  25. jrixn1
    The bridge is still available for sale.
