Final price drop
-
£ -
PRICE DROP £280 Sold on eBay for 280 but I’m having more trouble communicating with the “buyer” than Clinton Baptiste does with the dead. 🙄

Hubba Hubba 😍🤪🥰 -
Thanks

VERY RARE Orange, Bouncer Bass Cabinet. From 1971 this is an incredibly cool vintage bass cab. Looks very retro with its folded horn design. The original 100 watt EV driver has been upgraded to a 400 watt Gauss driver so plenty of headroom and power. The Cab has been restored but the Tolex has puckered in a few places with the glue but still looks great. Collection would be preferred but courier could be arranged or we could meet halfway for fuel costs. Any questions please ask. Thanks

Ali McMordie is the first bass player I heard. I can still vividly remember sitting in my neighbours bedroom at the age of 13 and listening to Suspect Device on his Amstrad tower hifi. It was a complete gestalt moment. It was the first time I heard the bass and understanding it as a separate instrument. From that point, on I was hooked on SLF and when I eventually bought my first bass at the age of 16, Ali was the player that taught me everything I needed to know about playing the bass. Melody and movement within even the most aggressive songs was possible. No boring plodding away. The bass could play a tune all by itself yet add so much to the song without over crowding it. When I started a YTS at 18 it’s fair to say I was obsessed with bass and music. It consumed my life. So when I met a fellow bass player in the same office I was ecstatic to be able to gas about players, music and gear all day. It was this friend that opened the door to Rush and Geddy Lee. This influence came at the perfect time for me to be able to aspire to greater levels of musicianship. Geddys playing floored me. “How can anyone play the bass like that??” Another vivid memory is listening to a C90 compilation on my Walkman of Rush made by my coworker, on the overnight National Express to London to visit The 1988 British Music Fair at Olympia, little or no sleep with the soundtrack of Free Will, Cinderella Man, YYZ and all Villa Strangiato. For over 30 years, the unlikely combination of Ali McMordie and Geddy Lee have been the two main musical influences in my playing, the mainstays in my listening habit and made me a complete SLF and Rush bore to my friends. Needless to say, a black 76 4001 and a 79 Guild 302 are in my collection.

If anyone’s interested I’m playing Cambridge Rock Festival on the 29th July so could take it with me and meet up anywhere between Newcastle and Cambridge. Thanks

Price drop £225

Funny you should say that. The guy who I’ve been speaking to used to be Marshall’s R&D tech and he said exactly the same. He’s going to look at it next week. Either way the step down transformer works a treat.

Yes all of the Max 800s were flightcased
-
Thanks it is a beast. It’s a very flexible amp, with the pre and post input gain you can go from clean to growly tone and the eq being 8 band gives tons of flexibility. It almost has a valves sound to it if you drive the pre.
-
I’m sure it wouldn’t be too much of an issue as the amp is based on the CS 800 power amp which had 240 clout transformers in.

Incredibly rare in the U.K. Peavey Max 800 watt amp. Flightcase with front and back lids, bi amp or full range 800 watt min 4 ohm load. Pre and post fx loops, cross over, 8 band hi/low eq, DI, line outs. Unbelievably loud amp. Unbelievably solid. This is no light weight in either power or physical weight. This is 110v but comes with a hi power 240/100 converter.

What famous musicians death most shocked you
cd_david replied to dmccombe7's topic in General Discussion
Gary Moore, sat listening to his songs tears running down my face. Although not my favourite musician by a long chalk I don’t know anybody that can put as much emotion into notes as he could. I wasn’t too bothered about Freddie Mercury dying at the time as I was young and probably didn’t appreciate death the way you do as you get older but every time I watch him perform I can find myself getting really choked up. He is without doubt the best frontman that has ever taken to the stage. -
I’ve had all my Ernie Ball necks and maple boards lacquered. I hate the dry feel of an unfinished or oiled neck. I wish they’d offer it as a factory option.

Wow 😍

Found myself a Trace GP11 for the bargain price of £75. Ordered a couple of knob caps from Britishaudioservice.com for £6.50 plus postage.
