Gibson for dark. But a Tbird? Hmmm... Very much depends which version. A long scale EB-3 lets you give some treble lift to that hot mudbucker or an EB-1 = £3k well spent to get the Pappalardi ass-kick Always wanted to put my spare mudbucker on a P-copy. Why you would throw the sound away on an SVT rig, though, beats me. 8 x 10" drivers don't go 'down there'... My old trace 12+15+18, however, is only two strong chaps and a van away from a roped off demolition zone powerhouse tonality with most any input.... Cheap, too, 'cos it needs two strong chaps and a van....

I've had a few 'real ones', lots of EBs and an anniversary over the years. The best old ones had chunky bodies and clubby necks - wouldn't sell on 'feel' these days. Anything in the last 20 years has had fast/kiln dried brittle wood for bodies and necks. Not necessaroily straight or open grain - all would have been rejected previously. High gloss neck finishes were the thing back when, and IMHO beat the matte/stain-o-matic finsih paws down. If the new ones have 'real' pots and 'real' wiring and 'real' wood and gloss necks - mebbe worth the dosh v. a 'real one'. Certainly, the anniversary models were not up to much - I'm not big on cute body capping - a layer of adhesive adn a mismatch of wood grain/resonances to dampen the woody tonality... I don't reckon an accountant woudl let them get even close to the old values - and most people picking up a '76/7 would wonder WTF was up at the (pre-slim, pre-flat) time. But that's me....

Before I *** up and overspend on a fancy... ...any idea the model of this Roadstar ll series Ibanez jazz? it's the one on the left o'course... [attachment=37857:ibanez_jazz.jpg] Any comments on this model? Any obvious bits missing (eg should it have a scratchplate?) I have been casting around old catalogues and google images to no avail. Thanks for your help!

Headrush 1 or Headrush 2? -
Looks like Potaton is on the case. Funky. Nothing until today - then four interests!

Ace-ity on all levels.

Edinburgh, aye. There is nothing to show that's not in the catalogue shots because it is, like, 2 months old.

[attachment=28906:svp_pro.jpg] SVP Pro valve bass preamp. 1U rack format. Clean and happy. The SVP Pro preamp is the front end for the SVT Pro range of integrated amps. Recently discontinued but not replaced in the product line up. Lots of tone shaping with ‘the usual 5’ midrange voice options and the graphic sliders. All the ins and outs you could want for live and recording links. And its an Ampeg. Last lowest online price I could find was £430 from Dolphin Music. Last ebay sale was £260 for an older one which turned out to have some issues (hiya, Gav!). This one is in great shape and only £250. Delivery will be £15 overnight insured.

Where did he get all that cool stuff...? Remember, this is a preamp so you will need to run it through a power amp to drive your speakers. Happy to answer any questions. Note: The stock photo is better than my phone will do - but it looks new anyway.

Happy to answer any questions.

Antoria neck a bolt-on?

Hey So... a 500w 8ohm 2x15 might be OK? I have a Trace one and TGEvans has a Marshall/Sidewinder one (luv thoz!). A soundfile might be useful - except that the Zoom will be sucking all the tone. Is it all brittle and transaprent and hifi like a Glock or EBS? (Important to knoow, 'cos I hate 'em both. ) These things are $699 in the USA. No distribution here, so who knows what would be fair. Mebbe PM a ballpark? Cheers -
Looks like a good value-for-money piece. But putting out 700w into 8ohms. Jeepers. I have loadsa cabs, but all old school = 200-300-400w. Pity, as it would take up the space left by the Mesa BB750. What were you driving it into?

Come back if you ever set a price.... ...and I'll see what I can do!

SOLD I am selling my 210 combo. Listed on ebay @ £320 incl. delivery. Prefer to cut a deal with a fellow 'chatter.... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110404636787"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=110404636787[/url] Ampeg BA-210 200w 2x10 Bass Combo Proudly Made in the USA 2x10 combo with HF horn. Just the thing for ‘real world’ players who don’t want to lug a big rig around when mostly playing in home, studio (yes!), practice, small-to-medium gigs (DI for bigger). Inputs for active and passive electric basses. Does the deed nicely for upright and electro-acoustic, too! This combo was bought for the discount price of £569 just before Ampeg started bringing in their Chinese stock. It is in extra fine condition and is doing its Ampeg thing just swell. Shops around here price their second hand at 2/3 of new. That would be £379. I am only asking £320 INCLUDING insured overnight delivery within the ‘normal rate zones’ in the UK. Please note that this is NOT the later Chinese one with digital effects. This is a real amp, not bedroom toy. Top strap handle + sprung recessed side handles + on wheels! No mobility issues here…. Here is a link to the owner’s manual which has all the specs and features in detail: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/BA115HP_210.pdf"]http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/BA115HP_210.pdf[/url] The features list is: 1. Passive input 2. Active input 3. Gain 4. Style: This five-position midrange tone chooser 5. Low 6. Mid 7. High 8. Master Volume: Controls the amp, headphones, CD and Line Out 9. Mute: Neat. CD is still active when muted. 10. CD input 11. Tuner 12. Headphones 13. Balanced line out 16. HF level control: controls the HF Horn treble boost Can supply more info and pictures if required, but really, it looks great and works great – not much more I can say!
