    Right, this might be a stupid question but hey it won`t be the first! I have been reading the FRFR thread. Now I have just saved rock n roll by buying a ABM 500 and was looking at getting a 15 " cab to go with it. Would I be better looking at a passive pa speaker rather than a bass cab? Are the passive pa cabs a good bet to handle a bass amp as most of what you hear at gig is foh anyway?

    Straight sale only now.

    Good point. Thats the only pics I could find of that style of head.

    After Bridgehouse saves Rock n Roll with a Marshall, here is my own contribution. I sold my Rumble last year as we were mostly doing gigs with supplied backline, there is now some gigs on the horizon where we need to bring our own gear. So a good excuse to get something with a bit of oommph. As a long time Ashdown fan, I spotted this in GG so pulled the trigger. It`s an ABM 500 EVO 2 but I havent seen any heads this size. It is in what looks like an official Asdown head sleeve but all the heads I have seen are a good bit shorter without the vents at the ends. This style of head looks like the ones fitted to the EVO 2 combo. I might drop them a line and see if I can get any info. It looks like it has never been used and is almost mint and needless to say the wife had a bloomin fit when I plugged it into my ABM 2 x 10 cab and gave it a bit of welly. It`s heavy, large and I love it already! Just need the 8 x 10 now... The saviour of Rock N Roll part 2!

    Having just bought a Sandberg myself, whoever gets this will be well happy. Great looking bass and a fantastic price. GLWTS.

    Price drop to £360. I have fitted the original bridge on the bass and it looks better. The hi mass bridge has left 4 very small indentations on the body which can only be seen when you tilt the bass into the light. They are so small, I can`t photograph them. Due to this, I will give you the hi mass bridge if you buy the bass and you can either fit it back on or punt it for cash. This price is a final price drop and if it doesnt sell at this price I will keep it. Collection preferred but if you want to arrange a courier, I will stick it in a hard case for protection and have someone here to hand to the courier. UK only and payment by bank transfer if it needs posting.

    Somebody has a Sire P/J for sale for silly money in the classifieds: nudge, nudge, wink , wink! But of the 3 you have mentioned, I would go with the Yamaha BB 734. The neck is between a P and a J, active / passive 3 band eq and a rock solid neck with the fancy mitre joint. I don`t think they do an Electra in a P/J version? Never owned a Schecter so don`t know. I own a Sandberg and it`s fantastic and have owned a few Yammies, still have an BB 1024 and if I was buying without playing one first with your budget, I would buy the Yamaha.

    There is a black one of these with a maple neck at bassdirect for £1295. Elsewhere on the site is a soft aged version and it says that it is a £285 option which is a lot of dough. Lovely looking bass GLWTS.

    Due to an expensive recent purchase I`m putting my Sire P7 up for sale only, no trade thanks. This is Version 2 with the new pickups, ebony board, matt finish on the back of the neck, gloss finish on the front of the headstock. The tuners have been changed to a brand new set of Schallers and the bridge barrels have been swapped for Wilkinson brass ones as I don`t like the look of the original ones which will be included. There is also a fresh set of D`addario strings fitted. It is fitted with the 18 volt pre amp which is a great bit of kit as the threads on here will confirm. The specs are below. It weighs 8.5 to 9 lb, it`s as near as I can tell from the Mrs scales. It`s a £460 bass new, this is as new with £60 worth of tuners and new strings thrown in. I would much prefer collection from Paisley just outside Glasgow, don`t mind driving a bit to meet up or I have a hard case which I can stick it in but you can arrange your own courier and I will make sure that someone is here to hand over. If you are wanting to do this, payment would have to be by bank transfer, UK only. Body Material: North American Alder Shape: Sire Precision Bass Type Neck Material: 1 Piece Hardmaple Shape: C-Shape Scale: 34” Neck Joint: 4 Bolt Steel Square Plate Fingerboard Material: Ebony Radius: 9.5” Frets: Medium, 20 Frets String Nut: Natural Bone 38mm width Binding: 1 ply Ivory Inlay: White Pearloid Block Electronics Pickups: Marcus Super Precision Advanced (Neck) + Jazz Advanced (Bridge) Preamp: Marcus Heritage- 3 with Middle Frequency Control Controls: Volume / Tone (Dual Pot) | Pickup Blender | Treble | Middle / Middle Frequency (Dual Pot) | Bass, Mini Toggle (Active / Passive) Knob: Modern Black Plastic Hardware Bridge: Heavy Mass Standard Tuning Gear: Sire Premium Open-Gear Hardware Finish: Chrome

    Now sold.

    I`ve just bought a P bass today! Does that make me a pro? Mabye not as it`s a Sandberg not a Fender.
  15. jezzaboy
    This isnt helping my "I need a white P bass" gas at all. Lovely!
  16. jezzaboy
    Now for sale to anyone who wants a shortie!
  17. jezzaboy
    This is now back up for sale as my G&L isn`t shifting. The new price is £370 which is a bargain. I would prefer collection but if you want to arrange your own courier, I have a hard case that I can stick it in and have it ready for collection. The bass would have to be paid for by bank transfer and UK only. Someone contacted me (sorry cant remember who) when I first put it up for sale asking about postage but I have deleted the message so I will give them 24 hours for first dibs on it. If I don`t hear from them by 7 30 pm on Friday, if someone else wants it, it`s yours. If whoever it was reads this, can you let me know if you are still interested?

    I got mine in early December from Thomman so I don`t know if it`s from the "new" batch or not. The switch is the wrong way round and as I said on page 5, the gain light is a little strange. I have since used the head mainly as a headphone amp for home use. I plugged in my Nate Mendel P bass fitted with one of John`s wiring kits and a Tonerider pickup and the red light was on with the gain at a quarter whilst in passive mode. I had to switch into active mode and move the gain to just over half to get a decent volume out of it with the red gain light coming on slightly. I haven`t had a chance to give this thing a bit of volume yet as I stay in a flat but I am in the studio early next months and will kick it`s butt and see what happens. I can`t make my up mind up yet if it`s a good bit of kit with a strange to me gain/master volume circuit or a piece of crap

    I have a P7 version 2 and the neck is really comfy. You should watch Marcus M`s YT clip he did at the Chicago music exchange (if I remember right) he explains the eq in particular the mids control which is the bit that had me a bit confused at first. Re the bridge. I kept the base plate but changed the barrel`s for Wilkinson brass ones and stuck on a set of Schaller tuners.

    All time best Rush? Got to be A farewell to kings. But I like all the albums up to Counterparts but after that nah not for me.
  21. jezzaboy
    I almost pulled the trigger on that bass myself but he who dithers aboot.... Looked a nice bit of kit for a decent price. It`s good that GG offered to take the bass back and please report back if you hear anything re the story of "the wrong neck!"

    I recently had a 4 strings version of this and the overall quality was really good. Great bass at a great price, GLWTS.
  25. jezzaboy
    I now have a hard case that I can post this bass in (the case is for protection only whilst in transport) but here is the deal. Payment by bank transfer only and you can arrange your own courier UK only. I will pack it up and have someone at home on the collection day to give the package to your courier.
