Price Drop - Now £130 Collected ! Great little practice amp in excellent condition Now with more features than ever before, the Roland Cube 20XL Bass amp boasts better construction, better sound, more functions and more effects than previous models. This is the CUBE XL! Whilst the Cube XL Bass Amps are no less portable than before, Roland have added two new effects and Power Squeezer technology for a huge sound, even at low volumes. Here's what Roland say about the Cube 20XL Bass Amp XL Power for Bassists! Just as the CUBE guitar-amp family received an XL upgrade, now it's time for the CUBE BASS line to reach XL status. The new CUBE XL BASS amplifiers remain portable and travel friendly, a CUBE tradition, but they benefit from new-generation XL performance enhancements. These new amps deliver a knock-out punch with custom FFP and COSM technology. FFP is one of Roland's core technologies in which each component - amp, cabinet, and speaker - achieves maximum efficiency and performance for incredible power from a compact body. The most portable of the family, the CUBE-20XL BASS, features 20 watts of power, an 8-inch custom speaker, six COSM amp models, pro-quality effects (Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Solo, Poly Octave, Compression, and Overdrive), Power Squeezer for big sound at low volume, and 3-band EQ. Features Ultra-compact 20-watt bass amp with custom-designed 8-inch speaker Six COSM amp models on-board Seven effects, including the new DRIVE and POLY OCTAVE POWER SQUEEZER for big, rich sound at low volumes; great for home practise and other volume sensitive environments Three-band EQ for fine-tuning your sound Built-in bass tuner Specifications Rated Power Output: 20 W Nominal Input Level: BASS INPUT: -10 dBu/1 M ohm; AUX IN: -10 dBu Speaker: 20 cm (8 inches) Controls: POWER Switch, SHAPE Switch, TUNER Switch, POWER SQUEEZER Switch COMP/DRIVE Knob (COMP, DRIVE) COSM AMPLIFIER TYPE Switch (SUPER FLAT, FLIP TOP, B MAN, BASS360, SESSION, CONCERT 810), GAIN Knob, VOLUME Knob EQUALIZER BASS Knob, MIDDLE Knob, TREBLE Knob EFX/SOLO EFX/SOLO Knob (CHORUS, SOLO, POLY OCTAVE) DELAY/REVERB DELAY/REVERB Knob (DELAY, REVERB) Indicators: Power, COMP/DRIVE, TUNER, EFX/SOLO, POWER SQUEEZER Connectors: BASS INPUT Jack (1/4" phone type), AUX IN Jack (Stereo miniature phone type), FOOT SW Jack (TIP:EFX/SOLO, RING:COMP/DRIVE) (1/4" TRS phone type), RECORDING OUT/PHONES Jack (Stereo 1/4" phone type) Collection preferred from Liverpool but can probably arrange postage at buyers cost.

High gloss blackburst finish. Alder body with flamed maple top and back with double wide pearl binding. Ebony lined fingerboard. Glockenklang electronics. Can change from active to passive with tone blend in passive mode. See Adrian Maruszcyck playing the actual bass in this video with more information on the spec. Excellent condition - one small white line under lacquer (see 3rd photo) No trades thanks Open minded on trades(4's, 5's or 6's) but has to be fretted and in excellent condition and prefer thin necks ( Ibanez / Jazz). Comes with hard case. Can post at buyers expense.

Possible dodgy Ricenbacker sale on ebay.
edstraker123 replied to prowla's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Someone on here did the same to me - he insisted I pay by paypal so I said I'll do it on my phone when I collect the bass. Travelled 30 miles to a venue he specified only for him not to show up. Definite scam tactics ! -
Cheers guys all really useful info but now I want one and I have no money

Anybody tried a Supro bass ? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/SUPRO.html That Huntington 2 looks gorgeous.

Sigh.....this is what we're up against

I loved the first bass player I would have stopped for a while , given him some cash and tried to buy his squier off him ,but can completely appreciate why he was getting ignored. There was a magnificent string quartet playing in Liverpool city centre once with nobody watching whilst just round the corner guys dancing with jedward masks on had a crowd of hundreds. That was the market at the time. -

I couldn't watch it - I found the red knob too upsetting. -
Phil Jones BigHead - great quality sound.

Hi - I do appreciate you taking the time to explain the history in detail and as a concept the B- Social is a magnificent thing and I do applaud you for trying to produce it .The b stock item I purchased was reduced in price, but as you have noted above, it was actually a second hand unit and would therefore never have commanded the full price irrespective of the subsequent issues encountered. The delivery of my item was delayed as your engineer was off work ill and you told me you needed to wait for his return as every B stock product is checked prior to dispatch. This check clearly never happened, presumably due to the backlog of work and the volume of orders to be processed before your Christmas closedown. So with the initial delay, a faulty product and the no show courier wasting my last day's holiday , you can understand my frustration - which you have apologised for and I have had a full refund with no quibbles. A previous Ashdown purchase was a CTM-15 head which hissed like crazy when the gain was turned up - a problem which seemed to be encountered by numerous users having googled the issue. Like BigRedx in the other B-Social post, my recollection was of poor customer service in relation to resolving this issue, but similarly this was a few years ago and I have no email trail relating to it. Maybe I have just been unlucky, as I can see there are many happy Ashdown customers out there, but in a competitive market it would seem to make no business sense for inconsistent quality control and customer service.
-
I agree with BigRedX the only thing that matters is the experience received by the individual. Being busy over the least few weeks explains the bad customer service but does not excuse it. What reason can there possibly be for the sorry build quality that Maude uncovered having taken his amp apart ? I appreciate this is not an issue unique to Ashdown , but the important thing to me is how companies make things right . Having sold me a shoddy product the least they could have done was to have arranged the courier to collect it on the agreed date, then I wouldn't have wasted a days holiday and put my elderly parents to the trouble of having to take it to the post office to return it, especially when the initial delivery had been delayed supposedly for an engineer to check the amp before it was sent to me.
-
I completely disagree with the change in title - the response from Ashdown tries to explain why their admin has been so poor over the last few weeks resulting in a horrible customer experience, but it does not address the main issue of the dreadful build quality and none existent quality control in relation to the B- Social as uncovered by Maude resulting in several of us returning the units for a refund. ( what response can possibly excuse this - hopefully we'll see tomorrow?) I'd never touch another Ashdown product.

All I wanted for Chrismtas was an amp and all I got was a this B-Social . I must have sent my list to Satan by mistake !

Offer £49 !
-
But you shouldn't have to tinker with it to get it right at any price point. If you watch the demo video below, Mark Gooday states its a professional quality product not a toy and they didn't release it until it was perfect. That certainly is not what Maude found under the hood. Maybe I'm better than Doug as I blew mine up effortlessly ! They should have called it the Rattle and Hum ( I guess U2 wouldn't have liked that ). It gets 2 fingers up rather than thumbs from me !
-
As I bought the amp via your ebay store I submitted a claim through Ebay as the item was defective - you did accept the return request so they've provided me with a returns postage label and I sent the amp back to you myself today. It should be with you tomorrow at which point I should receive my refund. You had agreed to arrange a Jan 3rd collection before your Christmas closedown.
