*** Now SOLD ***

Hi Folks, 

For Sale/For Trade: 

Fender 50's Classic Lacquer MIM Precision bass. 

I'm looking for £750 ono (which is what I paid for it).

But I could also be tempted by an interesting trade - quality cab, short-scale bass, et, etc.. 

So, I bought this fantastic sounding P Bass here on Basschat a year ago from Jon, aka @Mudpup, who I'm sure will attest to what a great bass it is... 

It's called a Classic P Bass for a reason, and that's because it sound like you always imagined a P Bass should! Its punchy, growly, full and warm sounding and works great in just about any musical setting you can think of where electric basses are used... 

I bought it for a recording project (which it was perfect for) but now that particular project's finished, I find I'm not using it so much - preferring instead, my G&L SB1 because it has more of a Jazz neck profile.. 

To quote Jon:

".. this has a Nitro finish and is the same series as the sought after Mexican Roadworn basses. It's effectively a Roadworn without the factory relic job - you can give it some genuine wear yourself. And of course it's iconic Black and Maple 🙂"

Alder body, one piece lightly sanded maple neck with the skunk stripe and the truss rod is working fine. 

Possibly due to the wider neck, these basses are very stable and very resonant sounding. 

Weighs is approx  8.6lbs. 

Previous owner fitted a Hipshot Detuner which correctly matches the reverse winding tuners on this model. And the original tuner comes with the bass.

A Black White Black WD pickguard has been fitted, but the original brass anodised guard is also included.

Another quote from Jon's For Sale ad last year, which still holds true:

"Condition is used with some dinks and marks in the nitro finish. There is light scratching on the back but not full on buckle rash. You can see buckleworm on the back up close. It's all genuine mojo wear though and looks fine from a few feet away - this is a gig machine rather than a case queen."

A Fender deluxe gig bag is included. 

Ideally, collection from Potton in Central Bedfordshire, 3 miles from the Beds/Cambs border is preferred, but I'd be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance if that helps. 

Trial of the bass is welcomed. I've got amps in the house and a Zoom B3 + headphones set up for a car meet if it helps. Plus the obligatory tea/coffee /biscuits of course.. 

Thanks for looking and please message me if you have any other questions. 😊

Cheers 

Nik 

Thursday morning BUMP! 😊🎶🎸

Hi Folks

Up for sale only is my Ampeg Classic Analog Bass Preamp Pedal, which is in full working order, is in pretty good external condition and comes with the original box and instructions. 

I bought the pedal from @cetera last year, and though it sounds great and does a very good impression of my old V4BH head, I've just not been using it due to buying a Boss ME50-B shortly afterwards.

Cheapest I've seen these online is £89 at Gear4Music, so I'm looking for £50 or near offer, plus p&p (which is probably about a fiver). 

Here's the blurb from Ampeg :

"The Ampeg Classic Analog Bass Preamp Pedal offers an extensive range of analogue effects and tones, like having a selection of Ampeg amps to choose from. Featuring a range of controls to give you excellent tone shaping capabilities both onstage and in the studio, this preamp will help you take your performance to new heights.

The pedal also possesses ultra-lo and ultra-hi circuits to offer a wide range of authentic Ampeg tones. Built to provide the best of Ampeg tones at a price more affordable than others like it, the Classic Analog Bass Preamp is the perfect pedal for players wanting that Ampeg sound."

Please note, this does not come with a PSU. 

Condition of the unit can be seen in the accompanying photos 

Any questions, please ask away here or send me a PM. 

Thanks for looking.. 

Cheers

GLWTS Gary 😊

Thanks Steve, 

That's very kind of you.. 🙏😊

I've always liked a good 115 cab... 

When I had an Ampeg rig, I preferred the V4BH head with the 115 over the 210, though the whole rig together was fabulous! 

Never tried the Subway cabs myself, but I only hear good things about them...

I thought you'd sold that a few yrs back @silverfoxnik.

I've still got mine altho its my home practice amp these days with my PH212 cab. Has to be one of THE best bass amps ever made.

As close to an all-valve amp as you can possible get with pre-amp valves and Mosfet power stage. Solid build quality too.

Not sure i'll ever part with mine. Its that good its a keeper for me.

Dave

That's some practice amp, Dave!! 

That being the case, what on earth do you gig with?? 

This rig perhaps.. 😬

Having owned an Xotic 5 string, I can honestly say that these basses sound fantastic and play beautifully...

This one looks like a very good example, and at a decent price too. 👍

More photos, as requested...

What a fantastic amp.  DO you know how much it weighs (approx)?

From a Talk Bass thread 20 years ago :

"I weighed my M-Pulse 600 (mtd. in a SKB 4U rack)
40 Lbs. (SKB 4U = 12Lbs)
M-Pulse 600 weighs 28 Lbs." 

Hope that helps.... 

Hi John, 

I'm good thanks - how are you doing? 

Yes, funnily enough, I'll be heading south soon.. Probably the weekend of 9/10 March.

Are you looking to acquire another Boogie amp by any chance....🤔

And does that answer help, or not help (as the case may be)? 😬😁

Tempted to buy this just for the excuse of a drive and a catch-up Nik, even I don't need two though

 

I've played/owned pretty much every Mesa Boogie unit out there from the 80's monsters through to the current wave of lightweight units and I think the M-Pulse 600 is still my favourite, I've certainly found it the best combination of power, tone, versatility, and usability (the Carbine M6 came a close second). 

 

Ridiculous how cheap you can get this gear for these days ........ 

 

We should just do the meet up anyway, Chris.... 😁

Thanks @Steve Browning - hope all's well with you! 

I couldn't agree more with you about these amps ; they sound fabulous whatever kind of bass you use, ir whatever kind of music you make. 

Fortunately, I also have a Walkabout combo (which I use constantly), otherwise this wouldn't be up for sale... 

*** NOW SOLD ***

Hi Folks, 

In typical Basschat fashion, I have GAS for something else - this time in the 'volume box' department.. 😁

So, For Sale only, is this classic, USA made Mesa Boogie M-Pulse 600 bass amp. 

I'm looking for £SOLD or near offer (no trades please). 

Thanks to it's combination of a valve (tube) preamp section and MOS FET 600 watt power section, this amp sounds phenomenal, is in full working order and IMHO, is becoming ever more rare and is a bona fide classic amp of the era! 

It comes with a Rack Case and a Marshall footswitch that I had modded to work with this amp so that you can get the best out of all of it's unique features - 5 band semi-parametric e.q., on board compressor, and footswitchable solo boost channel. 

Here's a link to Mesa's website for all the important tech stuff:

https://legacy.mesaboogie.com/support/out-of-production/m-pulse-600.html

Collection much preferred from Potton, Central Bedfordshire, but if absolutely necessary, I could ship it at buyer's expense and only if it's fully insured. 

And obviously, you're very welcome to come and test it here (with your bass of choice) through a Genz 112 or an Aguilar 212, with plenty of tea/coffee & biscuits on tap! 

I'll put some more photos up at some point over the next day or so, but here's a couple for now. 

Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM. 

Thanks for looking. 😊

Agreed.. 

Very 'Beedster-esq'... 😁

How has this not sold at this price?? 

I had one of these a few years ago, the 4 ohm version, that I got in a trade with @Captain Rumble, and it was a great sounding cab!

Paired it with a Handbox R400 (part of the same trade) and it worked a treat in the covers band I was in at the time.  We did a lot of alt & indie rock ; Blink 182, RHCP, Strokes, Nirvana, Blur etc, etc and it never let me down. 

For a 15" driver, the sound was surprisingly tight and focused, with plenty of mids and low end. 

GLWTS 

This bass looks v.cool, and it sounds fantastic on the 2 Georgina Blackwell recordings.. 

She has a great voice btw, and the playing (your playing?) is very funky! 

GLWTS 

Very sad news and a real shock! 

RIP 😢

Stunning! 

GLWTS 

That's a beautiful example of a BB800!
