Hi all, Just a quick update to those who've pm'd me about the Triad. I'm out of action pretty much all day today but will respond to your messages later this evening or tomorrow morning. Thanks and sorry for the delay. Nik

[quote name='W1_Pro' timestamp='1487489949' post='3240090'] Lovely looking bass. GLWTS. [/quote] Yep, +1 to that, it's a beautiful looking bass!

Sunday morning, just about to watch Herbie Flowers 'Jazz Breakfast' at The Brighton Dome, kind of BUMP ! 😊

Got to say as well, that this amp coupled with the SWR Triad that I'm selling, was my main gig rig for the last 5 or 6 years and although heavy to carry around, it sounded bloody marvellous in most of the local venues I played in. I took it to Germany last year for a festival and it was great there too..

Very true John! This amp has outperformed every other amp I've had over the last 12 years (bar the Ampeg V4BH I bought from The Beedster), including Eden, Markbass, TE, TechAmp and most recently, a Thunderfunk 550, which I know you rate very highly. 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.

[b]*** WITHDRAWN ***[/b] Hi Folks Continuing my new year clear-out, here's another favourite piece of kit of mine; it's my [b]Hughes and Kettner Bassbase 600 bass amp[/b], which comes with the all-important [b]Footswitch[/b] and a [b]3U Stagg rack case [/b]to transport it around in. 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! Apart from one technical issue which i'm going to detail below, it's in excellent working condition and I'm looking for [b]£195 or near offer[/b] for the amp, footswitch and rack case. By the way, the tube in it is the original Hughes & Kettner supplied 12AX7. [b]On/off switch[/b] As I say, the amp is working perfectly, but just recently the on/off switch has stopped working so that it's set to a permanent 'on' setting. I've got round this by plugging the power lead into an extension cable that has it's own on/off switch, and that allows me to control switching the amp on and off safely. I'm not sure how much this would cost to fix, but I'm estimating [b]£40[/b] and have taken that into account when setting the selling price, which is as follows: Amp = £160 Footswitch = £30 Rack Case = £30 If the switch was working, then I'd have priced the amp at about £200 [b]Photos[/b] [attachment=238411:Bassbase 600 & Peavey 115.jpg] [attachment=238405:Bassbase 600 a.jpg] [attachment=238406:Bassbase 600 b.jpg] [b]Links[/b] See here for more info: Manual: [url="https://medias.audiofanzine.com/files/hughes-kettner-bassbase-600-manual-473007.pdf"]https://medias.audio...nual-473007.pdf[/url] Video: A German retailer's video about the amp: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OGq3XaR6kWs"]http://www.youtube.c...d&v=OGq3XaR6kWs[/url] [b]Footswitch[/b] 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.

Saturday morning BUMP!

[quote name='bassbloke' timestamp='1487402922' post='3239491'] Hi. Would like to take this off you. Are you able to meet part way if i cover your fuel costs? Say somewhere around Petworth? [/quote] Hi there, I've had a bit of interest already in the Triad, but have sent you a PM. Nik

[size=4]Hi Folks[/size] [size=4]Like most of my bass gear, I bought these two [b]JBL 12"[/b] cabinets here on Basschat! I got them from one of our resident speaker cab design experts, Stevie, who I hope won't mind if I use some of the original text from his ad of 4 years ago... [/size]I bought them to put together a cheap, lightweight rig but I haven't used them for over a year now, so it's time to move them on. I'm looking for [b]£25 o.n.o.[/b] for each cab, not including p&p.. [b]Description[/b] So[b], t[/b]his is a pair of [b]JBL bass cabinets[/b] originally designed to take the JBL 2206 600W driver but they will take other drivers as well. Most of them were used in installs as far as I know. These can, of course, be used for PA but actually make a nice single 12 or 2 x 12 bass system for someone prepared to fit a suitable 12" driver which really isn't to difficult a job. They’re fitted with banana inputs and Speakons. [size=4]These are compact and fairly lightweight cabs (about 10kg) and I used them with this driver:[/size] [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/eminence-beta-8-8ohm-8-225watt-speaker-p-760.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA25rFBRC8rfyX1vjeg7YBEiQAFIb3byaorhjGzjnOzEo9p6MZO0USkzhZ_kHuRMFn1TLujaYaAl4H8P8HAQ"]http://www.lean-busi...ujaYaAl4H8P8HAQ[/url] And, used with a Yamaha BT500h digiatl Class D head, it made for a really good and relatively inexpensive lightweight rig!

Now SOLD!

Brilliant bit of kit the B3; I use mine for home practicing, rehearsals, gigging - it's fantastic! GLWTS

Not sure how it would compare to a Goliath 410, but the 15" driver in the Triad gives a distinct 'thump' to the low end in my view, that is quite different to that of a 410. Having said that, the 10" driver and the horn provide articulation and a sweet top end, so it's definitely produces a full range sound. Here's what I said above about the Triad and a Barefaced 212: "Sound-wise, if you look on the internet, the jury's out about full-range bass cabs but for me, I've found the Triad to be a very versatile cab, capable of delivering fantastic lows with quite an articulate mid-range and a sweet top end. I remember Alex Claber A/B-ing his prototype Super 12T against this cab at one of the Bashes about 4 or 5 years ago, and although the Super 12T was capable of taking more power (and it's a lot lighter obviously), the sound of the two cabs side by side was actually quite similar - something Alex commented on at the time.." Hope that helps. 😊

Littlehampton, West Sussex.. 20 miles west of Brighton.

Thanks for being so accommodating Scoop! 😊

No worries and thanks for the kind words about the Triad. This is still my favourite cab to be honest, so I'll miss it when it goes, that's for sure!

Cheers Mert! It's a great little pedal I have to say, and really well made too... Hope all's well with you by the way...

[b]*** NOW SOLD - Thanks for looking![/b] *** Hi Folks After having owned this cab for 18 months or so now, I've decided to put it up for sale for: [b]£140.00 o.n.o[/b]. plus p&p. [b]History[/b] I bought it on here from BTGAndy in 2015 at the South East Bass Bush because I've always [b]loved the sound[/b] of these cabs! So much so in fact, that I bought this at the same time as I had my original Triad (which I'd had since 2007). Anyway, as is so often the case, GAS got the better of me and right after buying this, I bought a beautiful Ampeg V4BH rig,with a 115 from The Beedster, and I've been gigging that pretty much exclusively ever since. So, I've only used this Triad about 3 times in anger since I bought it And, much as I love the sound of these cabs, it's time to move it on because (i) I've got too many cabs anyway, and (ii) I've just bought a TechAmp 115 out of necessity because my back's been playing up.. So a lightweight cab has become an absolute essential.. [b]Condition, photos[/b] In terms of condition, it's pretty good - say a 7.5/10 and the cover's in OK condition too.. [attachment=238311:Triad 2.jpg] [attachment=238312:Triad 3.jpg] [attachment=238313:Triad 1.jpg] [b]Sound[/b] Sound-wise, if you look on the internet, the jury's out about full-range bass cabs but for me, I've found the Triad to be a very versatile cab, capable of delivering fantastic lows with quite an articulate mid-range and a sweet top end. I remember Alex Claber A/B-ing his prototype Super 12T against this cab at one of the Bashes about 4 or 5 years ago, and although the Super 12T was capable of taking more power (and it's a lot lighter obviously), the sound of the two cabs side by side was actually quite similar - something Alex commented on at the time.. Here's a review posted on Musician's Friend some years ago: [i]"I've been gigging with the [/i][i]SWR[/i] [i]Triad[/i][i] cabinet for exactly 10 years this month. It's been through all sorts of music to include acoustic world type music to heavy progressive. This is the clearest sounding cabinet I have ever heard. You will hear every nuance across the frequency spectrum."[/i] ([url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/swr-triad-3-way-bass-speaker-system"]http://www.musicians...-speaker-system[/url]) [b]Spec[/b] [size=4][color=#333333][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif]4-ohm, 400W, 3-way speaker enclosure featuring a 15" woofer, 10" mid driver, and tweeter.

*** Now SOLD *** Hi Folks This [b]EBS Octabass Pedal[/b] is the first item of quite a few items that I'm going to be putting up for sale over the next few days. Now SOLD. Bought on here a year or so ago, it's in perfect working order and sounds great! Only problem is, I'm not using it because I tend to always use the octave patch in my Zoom B3 out of convenience... [attachment=238308:ebs-octabass-649053.jpg] Anyway, it is in cosmetically good order, and it [b]sounds[/b] [b]great[/b] - way, way better than the octave patch in my Zoom B3. Oh, and it is true by pass. It doesn't come with the original box, or the PSU I'm afraid, hence why it's priced at [b]£50 delivered[/b] to your door! Just to say that I'm not looking for any trades on this at the moment - thanks. If you've any questions, please send me a PM or ask away here. Thanks for looking! Nik
