    Thanks for the offer, not ready to go quite that low - while I don't use it, I seem to keep coming back to these... I may see if I can find a local amp tech to take a look at it.

    I don't know how I got earlier response so wrong it IS available!
  3. cattytown
    I'll always listen. Worst I can do is decline 🙂

    Sorry, only just seen this - no it isn't

    I know - they are great amps for upright, but the technology is of the age so a tad lardy and not over endowed with power.

    This is my Bassman 135. I have had this about seven years and popped new tubes in when I got it, and it hasn't been used much since. The condition is generally reasonable for an amp of this age. Channel 2 seems fine, but channel 1 doesn't seem to be quite as expected - tones down and some audio is still through and it doesn't have the weight I would expect. I'm not a tube tech, but with the simplicity of these amps, I'd expect it to not be too major a repair. You can see a video at https://cattytown.co.uk/BassmanDemo.mp4 - just done with a camera, no special mic. It's a heavy, fragile beast so I am not going to entertain posting, but I can arrange a reasonable meet, but you may prefer to come here to give it a try for yourself.

    Er, Bump - any offers?

    They are - It is just lovely, but it's not really "me". I really wish it was.

    In response to a query - the weight is 4.255 Kg/9.38lb Paul.

    Selling this reluctantly as this gets very little use. Owned from new, bought from GBBL when it was in Drew's care. A beautiful, nice playing lovely sounding bass, I have just come to the conclusion it's not really me. Includes Sandberg gig bag. I change the strap buttons for straplocks, and I'll include the strap that's with it. Any questions, please ask. For now, I don't want to post such a lovely (and valuable) bass, but as log as you are not too far away I am sure we can arrange something.

    Pretty accurate summary 🙂

    Looking at posts on facebook, it looks to be about Wednesday when they started including guitar.

    Looks like the change is in the process of happening - some stuff is bass guitar, some is bass and guitar. Twitter is an ambiguous handle of @Bass_GuitarShow, but the logo is still a fender style bass headstock. Twitter description: "The UK Bass Guitar Show is a 2 day event, dedicated to all things low-end. The show features the latest bass gear, along with a variety of respected artists." I will probably still go, but not looking forwards to it as much 😞

    The first time I tried them, they were awful, and I lasted less than a week. A few years of struggling later, and an important change in the fashion for glasses, step up of the level I bought and they are awesome. I would need to carry 2-3 pairs of glasses without them, be constantly swapping between them, and struggling in sunshine. My prescription is strong - about +5.5, then reading is plus 1.5. I now go for the REALLY good lenses (high refractive index so thin and light) and photochromic so a pair of glasses is north of £700. It's worth it as the first thing I do in the morning is reach for my glasses, and the last thing at night is take them off. I really am useless without them. The big thing is getting used to looking through the right bit, which does mean moving your head more. The bit about fashion? when I first tried them lenses were quite small. Now lenses are a lot bigger which gives more space for the zones.

    After a near miss, this is still for sale...
  16. cattytown
    Almost on my doorstep - I'll probably be passing through tomorrow.
  17. cattytown
    To be fair, I have not really been pushing it that much. I saw it the other day and realised I still had it! It's also (even in the world of bass) a bit niche! Paul.
  18. cattytown
    Er, Bump. Had almost forgotten this was here. Will listen to offers.

    I love a Bassman! To get in, power down and leave for a while. Then leave it a bit longer... The back panel (if still there should be obvious on how to remove. The chassis (at least on the 135s) is held in b the longish bolts through the "runner plates" on the top. Paul.
  20. cattytown
    I love those. I am on my second.

    Another member! I have two empty pedalboards. I started. I grew. I bought a Helix floor and sold most pedals for more than the Helix cost! P.

    From memory all the valve amps I have had have not had a fan.
  23. cattytown
    I'm wondering if there's call for a tube bass bash once we can get together - there are people with amps here I'd love to have a few minutes with, and I have a Bassman 135 that I suspect some may like to try. I'm a little north of Manchester, and if anyone is interested i'd be happy for them to pop round and have a look at it (it's NOT for sale 🙂 ) but it may help someone pondering a longer distance transaction, once we are allowed to meet even in small numbers. Paul.

    Just had an email - October 2021. I just hope it survives.
  25. cattytown
    Website now says postponed until further notice 😞 i can afford to lose the ticket price so I'll not be looking fr a refund as i may just help have a better chance of it surviving
