Thanks again to everyone for all the PMs and apologies for not replying at the moment but there have been quite a few. Several of them are asking for specific prices of the cabs which I don't really want to give at the moment until I'm sure they're for sale, as this is currently a feeler after all.

Once I've made the decision and if it is to sell them, in the interests of fairness I promise to treat all interest in the chronological order it came in, either by PM or notes added to this thread.

As I mentioned previously, I have several rehearsals this week and should have an idea by the end of Weds at the latest.

[quote name='Legion' post='603857' date='Sep 20 2009, 07:29 PM']That compact must be seriously nice as I know you really liked the GS cabs - no problem using the photo and best of luck.

Guess I better consider trying a compact eh

Thanks Jas. I do really still love the cabs but I wanted to try a compact and I can't justify owning two complete rigs.

I have a rock band rehearsal on Tuesday and a funk band rehearsal on Wednesday, so after using the Compact for these I'll know whether it really is for me or not.

Thanks to everyone for the interest and the PMs and I should have a clearer picture midweek as to whether or not the Aguilar cabs are going, or if the Compact just isn't for me - and if it is, I think I'll invest in a second one.

Also, if it's the Aggies that are going, I'll come up with a price based on what I paid Jas and taking into account a small amount of depreciation. Priority will probably go to people willing to take both of them.

Cheers

I just bought Steve's Barefaced Compact cab for a very reasonable price and it was a nice simple transaction. He's a great guy who even let me stay and watch the Manchester derby while he grooved on my Sterling.

Thanks Steve

I've just picked up Flanker's Barefaced Compact and at the moment I love it, so I'm thinking I might move on my Aguilar GS cabs. I have two rehearsals and a jam booked in this week, so I'm going to be using the Compact and will get a better idea of whether it fulflls all my needs.

If that's the case then the Aguilars will definitely be up for sale, but for the time being I'm just gauging if there's any interest out there?

I bought these in March from Legion and they are in great condition, the only real issue being where he velcroed a Markbass head which has caused a small amount of "fluffing" on the top of one of them.

I really am in two minds as I have had some great sounds out of these babies.

I hope Legion doesn't mind if for now I use his pic but I need to tidy up first! Interestingly, the only thing I haven't owned in the pic is what's in the rack head!

EDIT: Now for sale - I'm looking for [b]£425[/b] for both cabs. Last night I managed to yank my amp head onto the floor and need to recoup some money for repairs!

Oh my god, I love that Maruszczyk! If I wasn't going to LA again in 2½ weeks I reckon that'd be mine!

Peter, good luck with the sale and I'm glad the changes in life circumstances is a positive one.

Now... how about some pics!

Geoff is correct, the musicplayer forums in general are excellent and the "low down lowdown" is full of great bass folk.

Wow! That baby is HOT!!!!

If you're joining someone else's band try and be open minded, as your idea of what is a good song isn't always shared by your bandmates or the audience. I play some songs I really, really don't like in my covers bands but no-one would ever tell because I try and be professional about it.

At the moment it's a my ex-girlfriend's house full of my stuff. When I collect it I may empty it out and put it back up but I can't really look that far ahead.

What more can I say. Martin is a Basschat legend! Great guy, but you all know that anyway.

Oh, and he bought my Ashdown t-shirt in a smooth as silk deal.

That was an incredible price for what is a great piece of kit - I would have bought it back for that price.

I can't believe Lee gave this up! I remember him telling me how much he loved it the crazy fool.

[quote name='dunetune_jazz' post='579670' date='Aug 24 2009, 10:54 PM']Guys and Gals,

Looking to get in-touch with any bassists in and around the telford area a few of us are going to get together in a couple of weeks down in telford, drop me a PM if you want to pop down have a few beers and talk bass.
Regards,

Exclusionist.

Hi Gaff, is that original bridge as to me it looks different to the one I recently sold.

Great bass by the way, regret selling mine and will be buying a Jazz of some description in the future.

I assumed this thread was created by a troll!!

Perhaps it's me (and it really could be) but he really sounds like Bill Bailey - and I don't mean Bill Bailey playing slap bass.

Pricing aside, I saw one at the Wimbish\Calhoun gig a few months back in Leamington and it's an absolute beauty.

I'm really sorry to hear that!!

No, he's not in any way the best, but has undeniably been an inspiration to lots of young rock players and may have helped them expand their musical horizons, thereby realising for themselves that he's not the best.

[quote name='jonthebass' post='568725' date='Aug 14 2009, 10:09 AM']It would be great for a Motley Crue tribute band IMO![/quote]

Why? Does it go upside down?

Have a bump on me.

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='569517' date='Aug 14 2009, 09:24 PM']Oh yeah.... My Modulus is now in the caperble hands of Rowbee!!!
Down to just the Fretless P and this wonderful Shuker[/quote]

...and in my capable hands it is likely to stay for some time. I am totally in love with it and hopefully now my bass rotation is at an end!

First Flea Bass gig tomorrow night.

Have you gigged it yet? How does it sound? Looks nice and maneuverable.

Man, that 28" bass drum is obscene! I'll bet you could get some awesome Stanton Moore sounds from this kit.

Bassists should be encouraging their drummers to buy this - Good luck with the sale.

Wow, that is just breathtaking!

I agree with you that Mark is a great guy and having met him, I would say his enthusiasm is infectious. It was thanks to him that we had the recent Doug Wimbish and Wil Calhoun gig in Leamington Spa.

If I'm not setting up my SA450 with one of my Aguilar GS112 cabs I tend to just plug into my Trace Elliot Boxer 15 which I picked up from Ebay for about a tenner! Sounds great, plenty of warmth and bottom end - until I go through the aforementioned rig and hear how I really should be sounding.

I also used to have an SWR Workingmans 12 which was great for home practice but also good enough for a lot of small to medium sized practices and gigs.
