I would also trade for a Plat Pro plus cash as my guitarist really likes his acoustic guitar through my existing Plat Pro and has asked if he can buy it off me

Hi all, these veritable Swiss Army penknives for the acoustic musician (double bass, guitar, mandolin etc) include uber-sophisticated tone shaping options, phase reversal, high-pass filter, mute, volume boost, onboard (highly visible) tuner, and DI. Cheapest in UK is £289 at GuitarGuitar [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/pedals_multi_detail.asp?stock=11121515560727"]http://www.guitargui...=11121515560727[/url]. I am selling as I prefer the simplicity of the slider controls and less sophisticated EQ options of my Plat Pro How about [s]£199[/s] £189 posted. Thats a bargain for something in 9.5/10, virtually indistinguishable from new condition (lives in a hard case) and only a few months old.

blah

I imported this fantastic 2x10" from the US a few months ago at a cost of just over £600 (including taxes/shipping) and its never left my house. Although these are quite superb hi-fi cabs - perfectly suited to studio use and double basses - I put this up for sale briefly a month or so ago as I did not think I could cope with the weight (50 pounds; I have a dodgy back!) I then withdrew it on reflection as it sounds so good. Well ... I had to move the cab in my house yesterday from one room to another and realised why I had put it up for sale in the first place!!! So back (haha) up it goes Looks just like this but in completely mint, unmolested condition (also comes with soft cover): [attachment=121199:low b2.jpg] Specs here: [url="http://www.acmebass.com/"]http://www.acmebass.com/[/url] I am looking for £500 posted or £475 collected (I am nr Hammersmith, West London). Alternatively I would trade against a lightweight cab plus/minus cash adjustment (EA or Barefaced) or a lightweight DB-friendly combo - must be less than 30 pounds for my back's sake!

Brush up on your Chas n Dave impersonations at a low price!

Just to help (before someone else points it out), you haven't mentioned price. I assume this is the same amp you put on the Amps FS forum at £350? Great amps (I have an Acoustic Image Clarus)

Shame but I have found some strings I REALLY like on my flatback - Spirocore Solo, downtuned to orchestral (as played by Miroslav Vitous on his 3/4 DB) They have the same low tension as Garbos (55-57 kg) and have big fat diameters but still have the typical Spiro sustain and growl. I am throughly happy now string-wise (Kolstein Heritage on Busetto travel bass and Spiro Solo on my flatback). The Garbos will suit many people but just weren't for me (or rather didn't suit my basses)

Hi Keith. There are faint signs of use - the windings are brightly polished copper and in a few places these quickly pick up finger stains. I don't think they would accept them back unless indistinguishable from new and in all-original packaging.

I bought these from Thomann a couple of weeks ago - here's the link [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/velvet_garbo_doublebass_strings.htm."]http://www.thomann.d...ss_strings.htm.[/url] They currently cost £209 which is by far the cheapest available deal (Stringmail is the cheapest supplier in the UK at £234, others sell for up to £320!) The strings have been briefly on both my DBs but are in excellent condition still. They are too thumpy for my small-bodied Kolstein travel bass and just didn't suit my 3/4 flatback (which needs brighter strings). The character of these is very gut-like but with more sustain in the lower registers than for example Silver Slaps. Here is a link to a string audio site that will allow you to hear (and compare) Garbos. [url="http://www.hervejeanne.de/saitenmatrix.php"]http://www.hervejean...aitenmatrix.php[/url] So how about [s]£175[/s] nearest offer to £150 posted for a set of barely-used Garbos then? PS, they look just like this (they don't have ball ends, but a loop arrangement instead which allows for simple installation/removal) [attachment=120846:velvet_set_of_garbo.jpg]

I used to have one of these. Really good, underrated amps. I sold mine to go micro. Two Sansamps plus a 300W (loud, so I assume its a real 300 Watts) power amp all rolled into one. Best of luck with sale but I am guessing it will be gone fast

That sounds a fabulous deal, Keith! I paid considerably more for my 1880s German flatback Its such a buyers' market right now
