Bank Holiday Bump!

Hi Folks, Just upgrading my rig to include an SWR Triad and an SWR 210, so am putting up this [b]Peavey 410 TVX[/b] for sale for [b]£100.[/b] On Ebay at the moment, these go for anything from £90 to £150, so I think £100 isn't a bad deal! [attachment=8988:Peavey_front.jpg] I bought it last year from martinbass7750 for a [b]£100[/b] and it's been bloody brilliant to be honest.. IMO, these cabs are [b]seriously under-rated[/b]. The reason I'm moving it on is that I decided wanted a [b]1x15[/b] in my rig without having a seperate 1x15 and a seperate 410 to lug around, hence the purchase of the Triad from Lee-Man, otherwise I'd be keeping this cab which I've done about [b]30 gigs[/b] with it and it's never let me down. [attachment=8989:Peavey_side_angle.jpg] It cost me about [b]£35[/b] to ship when I got it via [b]APC[/b] and I realise that's an obstacle for a lot of people, so I'm happy to drive up to [b]50 miles[/b] for the cost of the fuel to deliver it if that helps? If you're interested but further away, APC are very good value and I could investigate that for you though there's obviously other couriers around. It's working perfectly and I put some [b]castors[/b] on it (one of which is a bit worse for wear now) to help move it around as it's pretty heavy! The spec is almost the same as this latest model, here: [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/74526"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/74526[/url] It's in pretty [b]good condition[/b] but not perfect to be honest. But having said all that, you won't be disappointed and for the money, it is excellent at reproducing frequencies down to [b]30hz[/b] ! For [b]low B strings[/b], it's fantastic! [attachment=8991:Peavey_underside.jpg] [attachment=8990:Peavey_back.jpg] If you want any more info or are interested, just send me a PM. Thanks for looking. Cheers Nik

[b]Bass now SOLD - thanks for the interest![/b] Hi Folks, I've just been upgrading my rig with a couple of SWR cabs and that, coupled with the need to streamline my collection of basses down to a maximum of 5, which means that I'm putting this great little [b]P Bass[/b] clone up [b]for sale[/b]. [attachment=8983:P_bass_i...ase_edit.jpg] I bought it about a year or so ago from TheButler here on the forum when it was Bassworld or Basstalk (I think) in order to satisfy my P Bass GAS at the time and it's served me pretty well since then. It's been my main 'noodling' bass; the one that gets used a lot at home for working stuff out or just general practice but as far as gigs go, it hasn't been used at all. [attachment=8984:P_bass_c..._up_edit.jpg] Sound-wise, it's got that great [b]P Bass thump[/b] to it and it is surprisingly a [b]very loud[/b] bass; both unplugged and in terms of the output from the [b]Kent Armstrong p/ups[/b]. It sustains well and the harmonics ring out for days.. The neck profile is very comfortable -sort of inbetween a P and a J bass, but how to describe that is difficult.. All I can offer as a reference is that it's a more comfortable neck profile than my Wal but not as comfortable as my BC Rich. I've no idea what the constituent parts are but someone has taken time to get the whole [b]Sid Viscious/Green Day 70's retro[/b] look together and though it may not be anybody elses cup of tea, it certainly worked for me!! It's by no means perfect cosmetically and the case has definitely seen better days. But it does play well and sounds pretty authentic. It could do with the [b]two pots[/b] being given a [b]clean[/b] and probably a [b]set-up[/b] as there's a little bit of [b]fret buzz[/b] on the G & D strings around the octave mark.. For those of you who are eagle-eyed, you'll notice that the poles on the pick up are a bit proud of the casing which has never troubled me, but might do others. AFAIK, it's an easy fix but not something I ever needed to do.. [attachment=8985:P_Bass_b...ofa_edit.jpg] Otherwise, I think it's a great little back-up bass for the money.. And I'm sure TheButler or mr_russ who have both played it would back me up on that. There's been a lot of comments lately on the forum about prices being charged so just to be absolutely clear about what I'm asking and why: I paid £130 for it and about a tenner in postage and I had it set up by [b]Graham Wheeler[/b] when I got it which cost me £30, so all in all, it cost me about £170. So I'm looking for about [b]£140[/b] for it [b]plus the shipping[/b]. [attachment=8986:P_bass_case_edit.jpg] Anyone based nearby is welcome to come and give it a whirl and have a cuppa & a chat too see if they like it before they buy. I don't have any sounclips but I do have other pictures if you're interested and would like to see more - just PM me for details. Hope that all makes sense and thanks for looking. Cheers Nik (P.S. sorry if the photos are too big..)

[quote name='owen' post='204751' date='May 23 2008, 08:47 AM']I know that someone has a special place in their hearts for this, so I am just bringing it to their attention again.[/quote] Needs to be a special place next to their wallets really Owen! Just to echo other sentiments expressed here that Owen is an absolute gent, so anyone who buys this will not be disappointed.. Good luck with the sale and have another BUMP!

That's a bargain price for a 6 string bass of this quality!

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='203324' date='May 20 2008, 10:37 PM']Thats a mighty special example of what is a great bass.[/quote] +1 Looks great... Good luck with the sale!

[quote name='paul, the' post='202578' date='May 20 2008, 03:56 AM']I think you should edit this into your first post. And make it doubly clear that you're in Aus. gl with the sale.[/quote] +1 Having said that, it's a good example of a quirky British bass from the 70s and as such, it's good to see! I would have thought it's worth between £250 and £350 on a UK Ebay auction but the shipping costs are probably going to be prohibitive for anyone here who's based in the UK.
