    No bigger full-on bass sound than a Trace MkV. There is one in for sale for £300 with a set of drivers. Buy it and I'll take the speakers! Or an AH250 head. From the days when Trace defined British bass. Blows an Ashdown 500 away. These are around for sub-£300. Thing to note: my tech was inside an Ashdown mini head today. Cracks in circuit board from board mounted heat sink = bounce/flex/split. Basic design flaw - and you'll see it in other models and by other makers. GUARANTEED future breakdown and repair costs. GUARANTEED. Beware.

    Errrmmm.... I supplied 5 PM premium Chinese 12AX7s at only £9 each. They reside under their can covers behind the shielding plate. Also, the amp has had the bias adjusted to take a range of valves. If they are new htey whould just pop in and be happy together. SC120s have 6 valves, so nothing is overworked. I have seen them running on only 2 valves. Pushing about 22 watts. Loud as &*%$ still. And those partridge transformers didn't care a jot. It is only the goofy active preamp that keeps them from being boutique grade classics. And you can strip that out and replace it - or put in a bypass and run them with an outboard pre... Cheers Chris PS Plenty more Sound Cities in the stack...

    There was one in Adtrader for MONTHS at £250. It was the lift... ...adn the fact that it is louder than legal for 'most anyfink Sweet
  7. Thornybank
    I can do a Bridge 100w combo to match it....
  8. Thornybank
    The man is on the case!
  9. Thornybank
    Deal pending....

    If a studio project guy comes back to me, I will talk it up. These are 'must haves' for live recording and 'real' gig prep. Also good for hire. If I was near, I would not be able to resist.... ...and I would add on the 1810 with flightcase (you know the one!)

    The Mesas at £50 shipped and PayPal? Cheers

    It was bought new in the autumn. It is pending follow-through on an offer of £650.

    If not into swaps, then happy to sell for £55 delivered. ...just that swaps are usually more fun...! It is a superclean condition earlier model. Like this: [attachment=22991:ebs_octabass.jpg] [attachment=22992:octabass_2.jpg]

    GONE It was in a local shop and they got £450 quite quickly. Early '80s Tokai Jazz Sound on the go at the moment: [attachment=22978:27_03_09_1515.jpg] [attachment=22979:27_03_09_1516.jpg] [attachment=22980:27_03_09_1517.jpg] [attachment=22981:27_03_09_1518.jpg] [attachment=22982:27_03_09_1519.jpg] Clean as a whistle from the time of the JV Squiers. £500(ish)
  18. Thornybank
    Black Widow 15" is worth £100 on its own. £250 less adjustment for the cosmetics, methinks. Already have one, tho' - 3rd I've had - all well poundy. If anybody ever wants the powered 2x10 top cab....

    I've had 2 400w heads. They are big, heavy and awesome. I can't believe the new ones can match them for build quality - and I[i] know[/i] the valves won't cut it the same way the old Gold Lions did it. Cost is now around £600 to revalve it with the good stuff. But still way huge.... The 200w - same story. I have 2 old ones that I think are worth the £1500. I would take an old one with a clean set of old British KT88s over a new one, even if there is a re-cap job on the horizon. And mine come with a valve set worth £300+.... Anyway - fantastic tone.

    I had a fretted one - what a great thing. Got £340 a couple of years ago. Pity Sound Control threw them down the tubes with their stupidly low pricing strategy. Schecters are generally well built, highly playable and top sounding. Maybe not like the '80s strat and tele things, but max bang for buck.
  21. Thornybank
    Resolved...
  22. Thornybank
    Boss DF2 Solid £60 worth...
  23. Thornybank
    I think it matters a lot!
  24. Thornybank
    Aye - blue does it for me... It is Edinburghy, just a courier awa'.... His £700 target has been added above.

    Non-forum pal is sacrificing to get a Tbird... One of his offerings: Through neck Schecter lined fretless Like this: [attachment=22748:Photo122.jpg] [attachment=22749:Photo125.jpg] [attachment=22747:Photo121.jpg] [attachment=22750:Photo126.jpg] Caseless, as Schecters often are... He seeks £300. PM and I will channel contacts.
