Ashton is BA400, Selmer is'72 SV50..the former is my practice amp, but Quinny our guitarist bought the selmer off me a few weeks back and whilst it eats his orange alive, he cannot get the sound he wants without it being too loud for a backline guitar amp..he tried a "hot plate" at saturdays gig but it compressed the sound too much. fantastic amp for bass, though its very much only if you like a certain sound(ricky or precision type of tone), and would make a brilliant studio or practice amp. is proper old school hardwired and totally original apart from being converted to take kettle plug power lead. thats why there both up for sale, i really like the tone and also like the idea of an amp that goes up in value as it gets older as such have put my ashton up for sale as well and whichever goes first ill keep the other. absolutely no issues with either amp Ashton £120 Selmer £160 someone here enquired about the selmer when i first dug it out, have pm'd him today as he obviously has first dibs, though he may have got one by now.

blokes, thanks for all the interest, ive been trying a few 2x15s locally but apart from the mesa(and thats no longer going) they sound flat as a fart next to the diesel, so i got no choice but to take it off sale. i'll just havta go back to using me jazz for most of the set. thanks again for the enquiries, and those that particularly want a diesel 4x10 should hang out til they get one..id forgotten just how good it was for the sound i personally love until i went to change it -

[quote name='Ant' post='424695' date='Mar 4 2009, 12:49 AM']the back of my SVT II (non pro) is open and you can see/touch the valves, im going on tour in march and i was just wondering if there were any ways i can stop any accidents smashing all my valves, i cant afford a flightcase; so im thinking of some sort of home-brewed idea.[/quote] your a braver man than me mate..when i bought my svt3 iwas gagging to gig it but it didnt go out of the house until in was in a top notch made to measure flightcase. and as soon as a gig ends no f*cker goes anywhere near it til its cooled down and safely back in its box.

[quote name='jonthebass' post='425054' date='Mar 4 2009, 01:42 PM']Hi Ogri, Please do get some pics up, would be great to see the old beast if possible. JTB[/quote] just dragged my sorry arse in from work gonna take some pics soon mate

in superb condition(always flightcased) Ev loaded, horn thingy with off/high/low, with castored flightcase(top quality packhorse) which lifts off to leave cab in base, two front castors are locking. the bloke who bought it new and had it before me hardly used it over the years he had it so the Evb's are still mint. reason for sale; mike dirnt signature precision..i bought it as a second bass but love playing it so much the MIA jazz is the spare now, and whilst the Jazz/ampeg/mesa had the perfect tone for the stuff we do, the precision/ampeg/mesa is too poky, sounds like jean jacques or foxton is playing on every choon..i woulda loved it 15 years back when i was doing that kinda stuff but more laid back now. sound fecking great on the bass solo from "my generation" which we always do in the encore though.. so i think a 2x15 swap is the way forward. but what do i know, im only a bricklayer.. £350, which aint expensive but it aint cheap either, id rather keep it than let it go for silly money. ps im after a 2x15 thats going here, if that goes before my cab does, i'll prolly remove it from sale unless another one rears its head, just so's you kno will post some photos later forgot to say cab is converted tp speakon (i hate jack leads), so will come with speakon to speakon and speakon to jack h/duty leads..sorry its been so long getting back, lotta stuff happening at the mo.

has this gone chaps?

technically neither is standard thinking about it, i converted them both to use kettle plug leads

the two amps.serial no 74664 is the modded one you can see the extra pot above the presence. in the other pictures you can see there are few differences between the two, the standard one (serial no 73326) has minor changes internally and externally but nothing drastic apart from the extra vol. superb point to point soldering throughout on both, never had a dry joint in either. pic four the voltage selector..what a simple and great idea if you play in other countries as well as here

[quote name='umcoo' post='409309' date='Feb 14 2009, 11:15 AM']I had my eye on one of these on ebay a month or so back. I think they'd be great for practice and small gig type stuff. That ebay one hadn't been fired up for 15 years so the guy was selling it as is, plus it has its tolex (or whatever is on them) removed so was just a wooden chassis. That went for £160. Do you know if these are mark 2 or 3's?[/quote] i have no idea buddy, but have picked them up from the shop, will clean them up this evening, check inside, and take a coupla photos. one isnt original, as the bloke who had it before me was an old valve tech, and he put a pre amp innit so its got an extra volume pot on top of the presence pot.. made a good job of it, youd think it was how it came out of the factory, but i guess you canjudge for yourself when i get photos on. they would definately make good practice/small venue amps, though as i remember i stopped using them because at bigger venues the volume pot only worked up to a certain point and then turned into a distortion control lol, though they wouldnt distort enough for a metal guitarist. incredibly warm bottom end for some technical reason i cant remember when used with a six string, in either the bass or guitar inputs.

cheers guys have checked out the reviews, all good stuff, then spent a coupla hours reading the selmer site that someone set up, really interesting i thought, both the beatles an the animals used these but as soon as they made it vox gave them free amps so everybody thinks of vox nobody thinks of selmer lol. that riff everybody has heard on house of the rising sun was recorded on a selmer. have dated them properly now, made anytime between '70 and '72(the logo changed in '72), and your right mate that is underselling but its a sign of the times. a month back i bought a mark 3 mondeo, 51,000 mile one owner like brand new really for £850 plus commision an fees at peterborough auction, stuff is only worth what people can find at the moment im afraid, at least where i live anyway one went on ebay for £320, but think that was mint, and mine aint though there complete. if building work wasnt so scarce at the mo would quite happily sit in them for another fifteen years, they will only go up in value. not letting them go just yet will get them back from the shop later today and clean them up, take a coupla photos and post them just outta general interest.

[quote name='obbm' post='409069' date='Feb 13 2009, 09:32 PM']Considerably more than you imagine. Have a look at Ebay "Selmer" completed listings. [/quote] lol..thanks for that mate.. i reckon about £140 -£150 each for a reasonably quick sale, i'll see how that goes down tomorrow..

just dug two out that have sat in the outside shed for nearly ten years, plugged em in, waited for the valves to warm up and... they both worked! faultlessly..not even noisy. thats handwiring for ya..christ they built things to last back then..i used to use em as a pair with the jolly old rick-o-sound stereo jack in me '77 bass, miked up..what a palaver. anyway, left em in our local music shop this morning, by this afternoon a few guitarists are creaming theirselves over them and wanting to buy em(they do sound berluddy good), but i have no idea what they are worth. i gave fifty quid each for em but that was about fifteen years ago. theres two on ebay, one is at about a fiver with the back missing, the other has no valves but the bloke still wants £245 for it!! so not much of a guide there.. ..anybody got any idea what they are worth? tenner..? fifty..? a ton..? cant really see them being worth all that, but they sound better than an old marshall plexi, more like a '45 or a good vox

i struggle like buggery, always have. my hardest one hadta be when i was in a jam tribute band(the setting sons) trying to do the piss easy bass line an the harmony to "start.." the vocal suffered... its,not.... importantfor... me,too...knowyourname...

like most things you love, if you love your fender, as i do, you cant really put a reason to it. sure, both me jazz and me precision, look, sound, feel and play how i think a bass should. but theres more to it than that, and anything that has heritage or nostalgia is always hugely attractive. if you play a fender, your walking in the footsteps of so many bands and players before you.

buddy, i hadta look up GAS in the acronyms before i understood what the hell you was on about. i thought it was some sort of drugs related term that had yet to filter its way down to us fen weasels i have the answer to your problems. but you wont like it.. dont buy either ..for now, hang on to your hard earned, roll the volume off the back pick up on your jazz when you want a precisiony sound. and wait. either 1) summat nice, exactly what you want and possibly vintage will come up on here at the right price eventually or 2) your gas will pass. of course you will completely ignore this advice, the same as i would have at your age but you know it makes sense rodders....

[quote name='Pentode' post='400376' date='Feb 4 2009, 08:10 PM']Not everybodys' tone - but my SVT CL & 2 X 15" Classic cabs leave that little tell tale stain in the front of my pants every time! [/quote] yup im the same, me groove tubed SVT classic still does it for me after all these years..(though if i could ever find one at the right price a mesa diesel 2x15 to go with it would make it me ultimate personal combination i suppose.... ) i remember even with the standard valves using it for the first time at a gig, tentatively plugging in and hitting just a simple low E and thinking"ohhh lordy, that.... is ...just..so.. authorative.."..lol
