Beautiful bass Chris - good luck with the sale mate. Shall I PM Jase or will you? Kidding! Gorgeous sunburst

On hold

I bought this tiny-teeny amp only a week or two ago from Born2BMild (aka Phil of BassGear) to use as a stand-in power amp for use with my DB preamp. Unfortunately, while its a great little rock amp for electric bass, it colours the sound too much to work well with a DB. And I tracked down a Mesa Walkabout to cover my rock needs (should never have sold my old one). The Headlite comes with the rather nice gig bag and is in good rather than great condition (scratches underneath from being rackmounted I guess; the front panel though is flawless). I paid £450 and would like to get this back or close enough. Its beefy enough on its own (400W) and would also be a great gig-bag backup amp too. Anyone? BTW, new these are £599 at BassDirect, so this is a 25% saving on new. Would also trade against an Acoustic Image Focus SA power amp, although these are rare as hen's teeth so its an ultra-long shot.

The SWR headlite™ is a 3.8 pound (1.7 kg), 400 watt dynamo that delivers the tonal clarity SWR amps are famous for, as well as an astonishingly thunderous low-end response for such a diminutive package. But don’t let the size fool you – this is a full-featured professional quality bass amplifier! Ideal as a stand-alone amp in a head/speaker rig or partnered with the amplite™ – a matching 400-watt power amplifier – in a multiple power amp rig, the headlite is an extremely versatile performance tool for stage or studio. The headlite includes a handy accessory bag designed for a headlite, an amplite and all the necessary cables – or it can be rack-mounted in ½ rack space with the optional rack-mount kit. 3.75 lbs.

[quote name='tauzero' post='1222255' date='May 6 2011, 03:18 PM']has anybody seen them in the same room together?[/quote] Damn, secret's out. I am in fact Beedster wearing a long grey wig and a prosthetic spare tyre around the waist

[quote name='farmer61' post='1222036' date='May 6 2011, 10:44 AM']Do you know, when I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps, I follow Clarky's and Beedster's for sale ads. The pair of them are class acts IMO [/quote] We just ping things back and forth to each other in the guise of FS ads when we get bored

[quote name='Beedster' post='1222011' date='May 6 2011, 10:22 AM']And as a the result of this purchase and a few other 'things', keep yours eyes open for a lovely mojo'd 3tsb '65 Precision that'll be on the market soon Jase.....[/quote] Oh dear. How you gonna hide that one from Mrs Legion and her horses, Jase?

[quote name='Beedster' post='1222003' date='May 6 2011, 10:17 AM']Although Clarky's [b]recent [/b] activity might seem quite excessive[/quote] Recent? I wasn't aware I had ever been anything other than excessive from the moment I joined this goddamn GAS-inducing forum

[quote name='Legion' post='1221991' date='May 6 2011, 10:11 AM']Don't do it Rob! it's a seedy, dirty world - I'm only just recovering after months of counselling. I'm terrified that at any moment another tempting PM will come my way with some new "trade" or other [/quote] PM'd

[quote name='Beedster' post='1221966' date='May 6 2011, 09:53 AM']Damn you and your ever-changing gear needs Clarky! Right mate, if you're prepared for me to juggle a few things over a couple of days, and as this is without doubt the best piece of DB amplification kit I've used, can you put my name on it and we'll sort things over the phone or PM at the weekend? If you get a better offer in the meantime though, please feel free to take it C PS we might as well accept the reality of the situation and simply share all our gear mate [/quote] lol! This is now on hold for the Beedster!
