So here’s a question …. I’m thinking of going BEAD on my Hofner contemporary club bass. I know there might be some drilling/nut widening required ….. kinda made the decision, rarely use that pesky G anyways. Anyone know of any light 5 sets?? Can’t find any on the interweb …. does such a thing even exist???

Well done on getting the tour Jimmyb625 … tickets were already booked for Bournemouth … will look out for you!

So here’s my 2017 Jazz 5’er. It’s a great bass - active or passive, these noiseless pickups are fab IMHO. Loads of tone available. I think this finish was called Champagne. She’s totally mint as far as I can see - should be as I have never gigged with her, I studio session and that’s it. Comes with the moulded Fender plastic ‘flight case’ with keys. Only reason for selling is that muscle memory is insisting that I return home to four strings. Collection only from Bournemouth. Could meet halfway for gas.

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2021?
Grewster replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best purchase by far this year …. these two Sp212’s … despite all the naysayers, I am totally happy with them! Monster sound and a one-hand lift each. -

So here’s my Phil Jones C8. There’s loads on the net about these pudgy little monsters ... 800w from 8 5” speakers (8 ohm) - unbelievable! I’ve only owned this cab for a few months .. exactly two post-lockdown gigs and it’s been brilliant - even had compliments! There is a graze in the tolex on the bottom where it hit the kerb on the last gig, otherwise it’s in immaculate condition. The only reason for selling is that a new project requires upsizing (for visuals!) ... Collection only please from BH1 or happy to meet up somewhere by arrangement, pay for gas!

Dumb question here - the Little Orange Bass Thing has two speaker connections ... do I connect an 8ohm speaker cab to each of those for the total 4ohm load or do I daisychain the two cabs ... or either??
-
Gigged with mine too at the weekend! Despite being outside and playing into an 8ohm cab didn’t need to go past 3!

Here’s my OB1500 .... an epic piece of kit! I bought it here on BC maybe 6 months ago and, of course, other than a handful of rehearsals, have had very few opportunities to use it since. Long story short, I’m now downsizing everything, (bought a Little Orange bass Thing) so sadly, this is now a bit surplus. Given the weight of it, collection only please. Happy to meet somewhere mutually agreed for gas!

Thanks Dan - much appreciated! I have been using a PJB flightcase in rehearsals for a while and do love the sound ... just not quite enough for gigs. I have been looking for a Super Flightcase but can’t find one anywhere in the UK. so thought the C8 might do it powered by my Little Orange Bass Thing 500. Could be that I also go the 2xC4 route! Thanks again for taking the time.

Anyone have any experience of these cabs? Thinking of taking the plunge!

Love mine! Did an outdoor gig with it running my Barefaced Super Twin and didn’t push it past 3 ... hopefully this pic will help with feet spacing!

So here is my SuperTwin - in great condition and I am the second owner of this amazing cab. I haven’t pushed this at all and I know the previous owner didn’t either. The cover does have a few specks on it, but otherwise in great shape. The only reason I’m looking to rehome her is that I’m downsizing even further! don’t want to ship her so collection only I’m afraid or happy to meet up safely somewhere mutually agreeable!

Here’s my Ampeg stage amp. It’s a monster - 1000 watts of Ampeg tone. Right now, that’s about 900 watts more than I actually need. For those that know, it’s a revision C. (That’s a good thing!) Housed in a Chord 2U flight bag with a handy pocket on the top. It’s reasonably heavy so prefer not to post/courier. Collection in Bournemouth Dorset or will meet somewhere mutually agreed for the cost of the gas. Will courier at buyers cost and risk!

Here’s my Phil Jones Session combo. I bought this new maybe two months ago and immediately ordered a Roqsolid cover for it. Consequently, it’s in perfect shape and only used for two rehearsals. Oh, this thing is amazing for it’s size, but if you know Phil Jones gear, you’ll know. Comes with original box and paperwork. Collection from Bournemouth Dorset preferred or happy to meet up within reason for gas! Will courier at buyers cost and risk.

Hi all - so this one has been the subject of some discussion here on BC ... there’s a thread here somewhere - I’ll see if I can include a link. It’s here: To be honest I have had this on EB last week - some interest but no actual buyer, so I thought I’d drop the price and offer it up here. (Should have done that in the first place ...) So here’s my trusty Jazz .... I’m downsizing in every way, so I think it could be time to say goodbye. Truth is though, I’ve always been a bit dubious about this bass ... I bought it in 1999 from a big bass store in east London with the understanding that it was from 1969. That’s what the neckplate suggests, but we all know about those. As you can see from the pics, there is no neck stamp, the pocket looks a bit rough and the scratchplate has been hand-cut around the plate for some reason. Having said that, the bass FEELS, plays and sounds old Fender, if you know what I mean. Always happy to answer questions where I can and to take more pics if needed. Collection from Bournemouth would be preferred - or could meet somewhere mutually convenient. If shipping is required I will only send this inside the UK fully insured at whatever that costs.
