The NV115 is a fine cab but it needs a powerful current amp to work at its best. I can't explain exactly why this is (maybe the closed cab design and relatively low sensitivity) but it doesn't seem to particularly suit the small modern class D 500w heads. Great with a chunky Ampeg with some power amp valves kicking out the watts It needs a bit of bedding in as well. Definitely sounds better once it's had some decent use at a reasonable volume. One of those rare cabs that is almost better to buy used rather than new.

Doesn't even know who's on until quite late some weeks.

[/quote] Age doesn't matter - if you don't have the correct certificate for export and import it could be impounded. You can ship in Europe whilst we're still an EU country but anywhere else could have problems. You'd also need to get import and export stuff sorted so that you don't pay U.K. import duties and VAT when it comes back. I'd definitely get it sorted here. Plenty of good people out there

I always use; https://www.ampvalves.co.uk Great service and Stu is a top valve amp repair guy. I'm sure he could help when choosing valves for a Mesa.

I bought a 5 string SEI Jazz at The Gallery, when it was a toss up between both of them . In hindsight , I bought the wrong bass . It's another bass that has popped up on here for sale a few times over the years , but had silence now for ages . One of the best basses I've ever tried . [/quote] The Flea was mine for a few years. Gigged it quite regularly. Last I heard it had gone to Scandinavia.

What a ludicrous response 😄

For sure - if you want something cheap that doesn't sound great and is a hassle to work with then multi-effects are the way to go. . .

Warren recently bought a, particularly beautiful, bass from me. I was very sad to see it go but especially pleased it's gone to such a good home. Great communications throughout the buying / selling process and everything went very smoothly. Definitely someone I'd trust completely in any transaction

No 🤣

Totally agree with this. I've tried a few multi effect pedals and every one falls short of the pedals they are trying to emulate. Complete pain in the donkey to work with as well

I went to the celebration of Vic's life gig tonight. Very emotional but great to see his basses and his new custom Ritter fan-fret in particular. Lots of people up and playing and amazing to see a certain Mr P Turner using Vic's beloved Yamaha Attitude on Superstition and Play That Funky Music White Boy! I miss our Vic so much but lovely to natter with family and friends and share some memories.

Matthew bought a cab from me recently. Really friendly & a great guy to natter to - sale was super-smooth and hassle free
