Bump!

Bump! 2U Flightcase still available folks! Mike wanted to buy this, but unfortunately there is no possible way of shoehorning an Ampeg SVT-3 inside, unless you hacksaw vital bits off it... Just to reiterate, I reckon you could fit a head of up to 11" in depth- possibly 11.5" at a pinch. A Tech 21 Landmark 300 fits beautifully, and so will many Gallien-Krueger heads (although you may have to drill some holes in the case above where the fan would be).

Agreed, that's crazy money- even for an example as sweet as Jojo's! I paid £300 for mine a year ago after finding it in a shop in Darlington- I must admit I felt pretty smug walking out the shop! Mine's the '57 version in white with a maple neck- I put my '79 maple-necked Fender P (a really nice one too!) up for sale after A/B'ing it against the JV- that's how good I think it is!

...and replied to!

PM'd!

PM's replied... Amp stand sold to Greg AKA Shaggy! I wonder if I can make it 4 out of 4 before midnight?

BUGGER!

Speaker now sold to Paul AKA Prosebass- this is going well, isn't it?

Rotosound flats are now sold to Matthew AKA Magee. I've PM'd you back about the speaker Paul! Steve, I've checked the specs of the stand- it can handle loads up to 50KG, but I'm not sure how stable it would be with a whole stack on it though! This would probably work best with either a combo amp or a single speaker cabinet- I bought it to tilt one of my Berg HS210s back so that I could hear it better on a small stage. I've just revised the price of the amp stand to £20 excluding P+P in the meantime...

Right then... I'm having a bit of a clear out at the moment (as is everyone else it seems!), so these items are for sale. [b]Shallow Depth 2U Flightcase:[/b] I acquired this 2nd-hand and used it for several years to protect my old Tech 21 Landmark 300 amp, of which it did a sterling job! Well gigged but rock-solid, it will accomodate a 2U rack unit of up to 11" max depth (possibly 11.5" at a squeeze)- I fitted some side handles on it last year which make it even easier to use! See photo below... [b]£20 collected[/b]- will post at extra cost. [b]SOLD![/b] [b]Fully Adjustable Amp Stand:[/b] Made by Athletic Stands. I bought this new for £40, gigged it once and decided it wasn't for me. Tilt-adjustable cradle and two height positions, very sturdy and in excellent condition, still in the original shipping box. [b]£20 collected[/b]- will post at extra cost. [b]SOLD![/b] [b]12" PA Speaker:[/b] Made by Skytronic. I bought this new for £60 last year to use in a (now-aborted) project- this would be ideal for somebody building ther own compact cab! As new, in a sturdy MDF shipping cabinet. [b]£25 COLLECTION ONLY![/b] Too damn heavy to post this... [b]SOLD![/b] SPECS: 8ohms, 300w RMS, 4" voice coil, 120oz ceramic magnet, 94dB SPL (1W/1M), Freq. response 25Hz-4KHz. [b]Rotosound Monel Jazz Flatwounds:[/b] Used once on my P-Bass, then taken straight off again- excellent condition! [b]£5 posted.[/b] [b]SOLD![/b] PM me if interested- Thanks for looking! EDIT: EVERYTHING NOW SOLD- THANKS EVERYONE!

Thanks Bob, it was a pleasure to meet you and your wife too- hope the gig went well last night! We ended up going for a picnic just outside Tewkesbury, before coming back into town to check out the Abbey and the local shops... thanks for the info! The bass is fantastic by the way- can't wait to try it with the band! I also repaired the hardcase when I got home and it's sorted now... For the record, Bob is a lovely bloke to do business with, and makes a great cup of tea too!

I played this beauty yesterday at Bob's place- believe me, it sounds amazing! So much so, that for a moment I seriously considered taking this home instead of the Tacoma Thunderchief I had actually come to buy! It gets [i]very[/i] close to Macca's sound with a pick, and sounds amazing fingerstyle- such a fat and woody tone! The bonus is that it's laughably light in weight as well- you could play this standing up all day and not feel any discomfort afterwards... Have a bump from me for a very nice man and a cracking bass! Etienne

[quote name='vmaxblues' post='425081' date='Mar 4 2009, 02:00 PM']Just a quick note to say I was over at Bob's the other night and got to play this bass, it is very nice indeed and worth the money in my humble opinion, so someone buy it before I rush back over![/quote] Don't worry, I'm on it!

Can you put me 2nd in the queue for your 212 please NGH? I'm seriously considering one after I've sold my Bergs...
