I have an Ampeg pre amp up for sale that is within your budget. It will give you a great SVT sound into your Hartke. It's basically the same pre as the SVT 2. I used mine into a Carvin Amp which is a very clean amp like the Hartke, the addition of the Ampeg pre gave me 'that warm Ampeg sound'. Plus with pre you have best of both worlds as you could still use the Hartke without it should you wish

Glad these pick ups are taking off. I put some in a friends strat guitar several years ago and we were both blown away by the output and 'meaty' sounds. Just a few years ago i bought some J pick ups to put in a VM Squire, cheap eBay price, and again totally amazed. I'm currently thinking about a fretless project soon so may have to revisit Entwhistle again -thanks for reminding me of these folks, those neo's sound interesting too

[/quote] Yeah same here, although had some entertaining international shipping questions of late...makes me think all couriers operate out the uk only

Recently said goodbye to the lovely Ampeg 8x10 Fridge. True to his word, Jon traveled down to Devon from Liverpool to collect the cab. Trustworthy and nice chap too, another credit to Basschat. Buyers/sellers can deal in confidence. Thanks Jon.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1403873651' post='2487316'] AC are no longer in business, other cars bearing similar names are AC cars UK etc. If you want to register Limelight Fender basses UK 2014 ltd that's fine, if you want to build your own almost certainly worth less than it costs to build and put a logo on that's fine. Selling a product as a registered business with some one elses logo on that is well know to be copy righted is not, so what if a few people want to pretend they have a vintage fender when they don't, a logo will be tuppence on Ebay and two minutes to fit it. I'd be glad the company managed to get some trade selling off the fender brand before losing it all, jeez the brand is a total fender rip off anyway it's only the logo that they can stop him using so be glad the rest of the instrument can be made or design, build, promote and sell his own creations! [/quote] The man has a point I get the whole Limelight thing regarding copyright issues/concerns. But lets be truthful, half of the appeal to most buyers is having the logo make it look like the real deal, without it, it's just another bass.....with the logo it is a replica - I'm guessing that's what most people would like without the hassle of having to source the logo, fit etc etc but as i say i get it - peeps will just be sourcing their own logo from now on.

Hmmm! Making me think my uncle should remove the AC off his Cobra replica (not!).
