Lovely! ☺ GLWTS

Gorgeous looking bass! GLWTS

Completely off topic, but I love your avatar pic, which is from the original Star Trek series if I'm not mistaken... Always reminded me of my old physics teacher, Mr Smillie; a differently handsome chap who never got any stick from a classroom full of sniggering 14 year old students! We were a thoroughly horrible lot back in the day... Anyway, back on topic, nice bass and GLWTS. ☺

Ditto !

Now SOLD - thanks for looking ☺

Friday morning BUMP ! ☺ Just moved house and need the space, so keen to see it find a new home ASAP...

This is an absolute steal for this rig! Hard to believe it's still here... GLWTS

Sorry to hear that John.. I've had the same thing happen to me so I understand your reluctance. Having said that, it's only happened twice in over 12 years of using couriers and on both occasions, I was able to get properly refunded. It was though, as you say, a butt ache!

Thought so... ☺ Tell you what though, John, I know you're a fan already, but these are still great amps, even though they're pretty 'old skool' pieces of kit in comparison these days. I was using it the other day, just testing it out really after it had been checked over by my tech, and with 2 x Ampeg 210s, it sounded really good, lovely full, rich tone and plenty of power! I had a drum machine running through the bendable FX loop - which is such a useful feature - and with the footswitch, I could switch between 3 different e.q. settings so easily whilst practicing.. Anyway, that's enough of me singing this amp's praises - I'm moving house in less than 36 hours and there's still more packing to be done! Nik

I'm assuming your definition of 'civilised' means 'near me', John? 😁

Yep! Always liked the look of these.. GLWTS

Hi Brian It's 600 watts at 4 ohms and 750 watts at 2 ohms.. I've used it with 2 x 4 ohm cabs before and it sounds great, and no issues at all running at 2 ohms. If there's anything else you'd like to know, please ask.. Cheers Nik

Tuesday morning BUMP ☺

Very nice looking & great sounding bass... And the photos and videos clips are really good! GLWTS

I'm having to quote myself on this, as I still can't believe this hasn't found a new home!

Actually, I think that was true in reverse a couple of years ago when you were selling quite a bit of gear. As for being at the edge of civilisation, there's many a West Sussex local who'd want to take issue with you on that... But having lived in London myself for 30 years, I think I'm inclined to agree with you.. 😉 😀

That's nice! ☺ GLWTS

Now SOLD - thanks for looking ☺ Hi Folks Continuing my recent gear clear-out, here for sale is my Hughes and Kettner Bassbase 600 bass amp, which comes with the all-important Footswitch and a 3U Stagg rack case to transport it around in. It's in excellent working condition having just been serviced . Now SOLD Apart from my Ampeg V4BH and Mesa Boogie Big Block 750, this amp has outperformed every other amp I've had over the last 12 years, including Eden, Markbass, TE, TechAmp amps and even the much praised Thunderfunk 550. It's also the most well made amp I've had too. If I wasn't moving house soon and didn't need the space, I'd probably keep this. I bought this here on Basschat from dougal back in 2010 I believe, and have used it consistently ever since,and it's done over 250 gigs in that time and never let me down. It's only ever given me great tone, a lot of power and plenty of headroom! The other great thing about this amp, is that it covers just about everything that you need, having two separate EQ channels, a tube pre-amp which really does add some grind to your tone if you want it, blendable FX channel, notch filter, bi-amp facility, DI and tuner out, separate headphone volume control and a mute switch - it really is quite brilliant! The tube in it is the original Hughes & Kettner supplied 12AX7. I've attached some photos to show all of the features, but if you need any more, please PM me... Links See here for more info: And here's a link for the manual: http://oldies.hughes-and-kettner.com/BassBase_600/BassBase600.pdf Footswitch When I bought the amp, it didn't have what they call the Bassbase stageboard for switching between EQ channels, activating FX loop etc, so I bought another almost identical Hughes & Kettner footswitch, and had it modified to work with this amp and it's great because it gives you even more versatility. This cost me about £45 to do in total, being £15 for the switch on Ebay and £30 to get it modified by my local tech. Technical info Power - 650 Watts @ 4 Ohms 1010 Watts @ 2 Ohms Poweramp - Dynaclip Preamp - TubeTouch Effects Loop - serial Switching Functions - EQ on/off, A, B Notch Filter - Yes Headphones - Yes Equalizer - 2-Band Varimetric A/B + Hi/Lo Bands Tubes - 1x 12AX7 Speaker Outputs - 4-8 Ohms Speakon, 1x XLR parallel Dimensions - 19" Weight - 18,5 kg/41 lbs Trades, shipping etc Just to clarify that I'm not looking for any trades on this thanks. Viewings welcome if you'd like to hear it first and I'm happy to ship it at your expense if you are nowhere near the uber-civilised south coast..😁 Any questions, please ask here or PM me.. Thanks for looking! Nik

Withdrawn - it's too good to sell at this price (or even a higher price maybe) !

Now SOLD - thanks for the interest ☺

That's a very cool looking combo, Pawel! Never used one myself, but I bet it sounds great... And a good price too, for such good condition vintage 70s kit. GLWTS Nik
