I saw this instrument at the weekend . It's in stunning condition, in fact it looks brand new. I was tempted, even though I already have one !.

Welcome to this part of the forum. Interesting bass -I bet it has a massive sound - two Qs - how heavy is it ? - and (house rules Im afraid) would you like to set a price ?

PM'd

Wow that's truly gothic. Interesting bass. A warm welcome to the forum.

Surprised this is still here at this price

Being nearby, I popped around last night and tried this out. Slazman kindly allowed me to compare it against my LMII/ Aguilar GS112 combination. The immediate impression was that the Schroeder 1212L was so much more open and 'airy' than the Aggie, and it accurately reproduced the individual sounds of several different basses in spades. The cab had plenty of immediacy, presence and tons of bottom end, even when isolated from the floor. It dcertainly made its presence felt as well as heard. A phenomonal cab sonically. It was also an easy carry - those neos make it as light (if not lighter )than my 1 x 12 Aggie. The only reason I didnt buy it on the spot was it was perhaps just a bit too loud for the duo work I do. For a use with a rock band with a drummer I wouldnt have hesitated Excellent price too

Sorry but it seems that your pots are from 1980.[/quote] It's because S9*** serials are not exact, and overlap into 1980. However, this is really of no consequence . The bass is clearly late 70s build through and through and to be honest it looks a real find. You just dont get them in this condition at this price. If you can take that bit of extra weight, this looks to be a humdinger of a vintage P. Good luck with the sale

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1047679' date='Dec 4 2010, 07:14 PM']well done Platypus and great comments beedster. If this chap was honest why didnt he re-sale the bass in talkbass rather than jumping forum!!!!!!!!!!!! Its just a qucik buck to be made in this bass. Fair play if you got away with it matey,,,but you were caught and THEN decided to keep it. HHmmmmm![/quote] +1 Agreed. Without getting sentimental, it's actually contributions like this, where others are watching out for everyone else, that makes me comfortable to nbe an active member of this community. You can debate the morality but I for one would have felt totally gutted had I bought a bass for 700 more than it sold 3 days ago on another forum. All power to you Platypus, Beedster and all. Big thanks

It's priceless

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='1023916' date='Nov 14 2010, 08:33 PM']You're kidding right? I forked out 400 big ones for mine used. This should have no problem selling for £350.[/quote] Thanks for the vote of confidence. CAB NOW ON HOLD

I have a pair of these myself, and like Chris's there's no model number. However, they are very nice speakers indeed : clear and very sweet, they are high quality stuff. Well worth the £60 and postage IMHO.

[quote name='spiritchaser' post='1023139' date='Nov 14 2010, 08:39 AM']Sunday bump.[/quote] What an unusual and striking colour combination. Good luck !

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1022030' date='Nov 12 2010, 11:15 PM']Mmmmm I'd love to pair it with my 104 front ported. Wrong time of year for me to be cab buying though. Bump for some other lucky beggar.[/quote] Thankyou both for the bumps. Several enquiries but nothing firm yet. A bit more info. The dual ported is slightly heavier than the current single ported model and a quick trip to the bathroom scales confirms its just under 22.8kg (50lb). So bump (rather more slowly) for a bit more gravity. Dimensions : For those who asked its L58xW48xH54cm, the same footprint as the eden 210XLT it replaced, but an inch higher and 18lbs lighter. Im not big guy but I can lift it easily. Its 8 ohm by the way

Still available. Floating even more lightly to the top, as price has dropped to £350

[quote name='ferg36' post='1010032' date='Nov 2 2010, 08:47 PM']Hi, whats your best price including postage to Northern Ireland?[/quote] PM on its way.

Raised ( very easily) up to the top !

This is one of the earlier, dual-ported 210 HF cabs. It's in almost perfect condition. 8 ohm and rated at 400W. Lightweight and a one-person carry. Excellent clarity and plenty of bottom, breathes more easily and reproduces bass much better than their Traveller 210. In my opinion, this is one of the best cabs Markbass have made. I bought it new, and have perhaps used it 5 times for low power gigs. It can handle a pub gig on its own, although I always teamed it up with a 112. It's been stored inside the house, warm and dry and I'm only selling it because I just dont need the power capacity anymore. I do acoustic gigs and my GK microbass does fine.. I'm in Nottingham near J25 on the M1, and so pretty central for a pickup. May be also willing to drive a reasonable distance if needed. Shipping would be interesting ! Current web prices seem to be £646, so £400 (now its £350) seems a good price, especially as the current ones are now only single ported. HAvent advertised it locally yet but it will be going for a bit more. [attachment=62682:front.JPG][attachment=62683:back.JPG][attachment=62684:panel.JPG]
