Not with any intention  

Well I thought I was done for the year as I have spent far too much this year. Then BD had a rather nice Jap Ray and even though I have had a couple before and wasn`t wowed by them this natural/maple combo was just too tempting. I really need to give the 3 band more time and get a sound that suits. Well that`s my excuse anyway! Hopefully it will arrive before Xmas.

To be honest I love ABM and MAG heads but their cabs leave a lot to be desired. I have had several different types, ABM, RM, MAG over the years and for me a Rumble 500 blows them out the water.

What`s the old saying, if you can`t say anything nice then say bugger all. This defo applies to my band 

EV 12 inch active Sub Woofer for sale only. 1200 watt Class D amplifier, weighs 20 kg, comes with a Hotcovers custom cover and a new pole mount, can be controlled via bluetooth with the EV app. Good condition. Collection from Paisley.

I nearly bought a s/hand one in a shop years back but it weighed as much as a small planet. I know the old ones were well thought of.

I have an Andertons double box I can stick it in as long as you arrange the courier and any insurance cover. If you want to do this I will knock off a tenner to help with shipping.

I have owned several UK and MIC Ashdown`s and they have all been reliable and if it does throw a sickie then they are the best at helping you sort out the issue. In general the MIC products from reputable well know company`s are fine.

We use Berkley in Glasgow and it`s usually an EBS head and Ampeg 8 x 10 and to be honest most of them sound crap. They used to have ABM heads but they never seem to be in the room we are using. But there is 13 or 14 rooms so maybe they are in there somewhere...

At Hellfest in Blackpool last weekend with my 60th aniv Roadworn Jazz, best Jazz I have owned.

Here is a Classic Vibe from the original Chinese run. It has a replacement bridge (original included) and Gotoh Japan tuners, there is a few dings on the back and front of the body but nothing serious. Weight is 4 kg or a shade under 9 lb`s. I would prefer collection from me in Paisley.

Bought an amp cover from Matt. Everything was nice and smooth and item exactly as described.

Thanks

I’ve got a Z3 incoming from Thomann. It’s a B Stock Rose Gold one. Please no one on here say it was their’s that was sent back cos it weighed ten pounds!! I did ask Thomann for the weight but they couldn’t oblige. I’ll let you know what I think, assuming it doesn’t go straight back due to being too heavy!

I never sent my Z7 back but it was the one with the ash body. Great sounding and looking but weighed 11.2 lbs so I sold it on to a guy who didn`t care about the weight.

But I read @neepheid post if I remember right who has an alder body one that weighed around 9 ish so when Andertons were blowing the Z7 alder bodied ones for £365 I nabbed one and it is a good bit lighter. And they are excellent basses, I actually prefer them to the 3 band Stingray`s I have owned in the past.

Worst purchase this years was a Markbass 4 x 10 one of the new ones that weigh sod all. Band didn`t like the look of the yellow speakers and I wasn`t keen on the sound having mostly used Ashdown and Fender amps. So between selling that and the Laney head that was bought to power it, I lost a few quid but hey ho.

Best buy is the Fender Rumble 800 that I got from Andertons on a black Friday deal for £150 off the price to replace the above. Not like me to grab a bargain!

I sold a US Special P bass on here a few years back for around £650 and I could have sold it 3 times over. They are decent basses and a MIM Mustang generally goes for around £550 so I reckon you got a good deal. And as above it looks genuine.

Andertons have a deal on the Fender 800 just now for £650 which is cheaper than the 500 model and as Lozz says weighs 13 kg. So I had to buy one as I stupidly sold my 500 Rumble to get a Markbass cab which I didn`t like.

Just heard Kenny's Music has closed all Scottish stores 🤔

I have spent a few quid in there over the years and even before that when it was Sound Control. It`s a sad day when they have moved loads of gear but still can`t make it pay and makes me worried for the likes of Merchant City Music in Glasgow. 

Bought a pedal from Scott, super fast delivery and the pedal is great. Thanks!

I`m off to see the Stranglers tonight and I think the tickets were £57 all in which ain`t bad in this age. Only downside is it in Edinburgh and I can`t stand the place 

I think you are correct in that your band is too loud. I gigged a Rumble 500 in quite large pubs with a loud drummer and 2 Marshall valve numpties and it was always loud enough.

Apparently the cheapest tickets are $300. But they seem to be selling.

Just bought a pedal from Lozz, as new and fast delivery, highly recommended! Thanks mate.

Having owned multiple tone shaping di`s over the years, I actually prefer the Behringer to the Sansamp. Cheap as chips and sounds good for what I want it to do.
