  1. [quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1341003189' post='1712848'] The best Warwick is the Fortress One active. [/quote] I beg to differ and that could be another whole thread!
  2. I've done ad hoc PA hire for the last 30 years and I'm presently doing hire for 2 local bands (pub gigs only) and TBH everything goes in and out of my car with me carrying it; so whilst a flightcase would be nice (I had one for my smaller 12 ch desk), it'd add too much to the weight/bulk to justify it and the present box/bubblewrap affair that I have keeps it pretty secure for carrying into and out of the gig.
  3. Unfortunately I am waiting for FOUR people to get back to me confirming they want the parts of the system that they said they wanted. I'm not going to start selling off parts until I have firm offers (possibly even the money or a small deposit) on the various bits of the PA... I'll end up selling one part and then be left for the next 12 months with an incomplete system that I can't use and likely as not I'll have to start dropping the prices to sell the bits that remain; not wanting to do that when I can make £80-£100 for a PA hire. I will let you know when there is an update but if nothing happens in the next couple of weeks I'm just going to hold onto it and get some extra PA hire work to justify keeping it.
  4. Be aware that there is the rarer Fortress Flashback with the 2-Tek bridge, this one is slightly later than the rarest model.
  5. [quote name='angelagnostic' timestamp='1340782466' post='1709392'] John you just looking for trades or is there a cash sale price for the Jazz? Purely out of interest (the wife is in) [/quote] Your Mrs will have a love/hate relationship with me... I buy two (or is it three) basses from you and then sell you one back! It certainly isn't out of the question that I'd sell it rather than trade.
  6. Yes I've still got the MM and I've sent you an email, though I have no idea what a McIntyre bass is! I'd need an accurate weight for your bass though mate.
  7. [quote name='John Moes' timestamp='1340729775' post='1708783'] There were some heat problems indeed, because the amp is mounted in the flightcase. Themal security shuts down the amp when overheated. Very embarassing in the middle of a gig... But now the problem is totally solved. These vans do their work and I didn't have any problems ever since. [/quote] So are the fans mounted to the amp casing or the rack case and I assume there is some form of modification to the amp casing to wire in the fans; do you have details on who fitted the wiring for the fans and how they did it?
  8. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1340729975' post='1708789'] or the parker fly... [/quote] TBH I think that is staying with me now as I'd be a chuffin idiot for getting rid... I just need to grow into that body size!
  9. Lovely and I'd have it at the drop of a hat if it weren't for the small matter of money! Saying that I could sell the Marcus Miller... and the 70's NT Ric copy... or the Hamer Cruise 5... possibly even the NS WAV!
  10. Are those fans mounted on the amp or on the rack case and is there an issue with heat dissipation? Just out of interest what sort of shipping costs are you talking about to the UK?
  11. The only think to ensure you get right is not going lower than your amps minimum load (i.e. don't go less than 4ohms on 'most' cabs)... and there is a bit of lee-way with that but you don't even want to go there so far better to stick to rigid rules!
  12. [quote name='essexbasscat' timestamp='1340710065' post='1708326'] Thanks Liam. So if an amp of 500w RMS actually gives around 300w @ 4ohms, would it give 150W @ 8ohms ? or am I barking up the wrong tree again ? [/quote] 500w RMS amp will generally be @ 4ohms (very few amps go down to 2 ohms, many Peavey amps being the exception), so 250 - 350w @ 8ohms (no absolute rule/formulae for % of the 4 to 8 ohm equation) and possibly down to 150 - 250 @ 16 ohms (though 16 ohm cabs are pretty rare now).
  13. I have the original packaging/box with the case so I suppose it isn't a problem. Not sure if the size will be an issue (when in the original packaging it is reasonably large). So far I have interest in the lights and the desk, so if those that showed interest in the cabs stepped up with a reasonable offer for the various bits, then this is feasible to split! I'll update soon.
  14. That's a possibility as I have various interest locally for the tops and bin! I'll keep you updated. Cheers.

  16. Not a bad price for a 2x10 Trace combo and it's the earlier version with the valve pre and the 5" mid/high driver. You'd pay £150 for one of these cabs so you're getting the amp for £100... bargain!

  17. Anyone any idea what sort of price for a 3U case?
  18. No, that's fair does with ending the auction before any bids, I've no problem with that. If you fancy the Hamer and a few hundred quid to see you till you find a good 5er just give me a shout. I'm only really interested in your DJ as it is around 8lb in weight; I can bag a DJ from a guy local to me tomorrow for £600 but his isn't light enough for my needs.
  19. Hi WC. I'm the guy who would have bid on your bass! In fact I was the ebayer who contacted you with the offer of a Hamer 5 string (I appreciate you are after something more up market than the Hamer).
  20. TBH I'll offer him £600 and it'll be the equivalent of a bid of £660 on ebay by the time he's taken off the ebay and paypal fees!
  21. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1340449704' post='1704560'] Not like you WH [/quote] Nothing personal but I have always had a strong stance that ebay listings that aren't BIN are better left unpublicised otherwise those that have spotted the tasty item or better still a bargain, then have to contend with 'potentially' bidding against others who may not have bothered their backsides to look for it. Buy It Now listings of bargains or unusual items are absolutely a different matter and I regularly flag them up but each to his own. It could still be that when I bid on that DJ I am the only interested BCer but by the same token I am now potentially bidding against anyone else who reads this thread. I concede it is giving others the chance to bid on this bass but IMHO if they wouldn't have looked for it in the first place then why should someone else help them and in the process potentially bump up the price that I will pay.
  22. Well that's just made at least a few more bassists aware of it... if anyone else was sitting hoping to bag it as a bargain, this thread may well blow the chance of that.
  23. 6 sets for sale @ £10.00 per set including postage in the UK. They are brand new and unopened, still in their sealed film inner-packaging with cardboard outer packaging.
  24. [quote name='dantay_xv' timestamp='1340377055' post='1703718'] Pics are up. I know I paid about about £1200 for it when I bought it new, but todays price well..... I dunno a brand new AB10 on ebay is like £300, I know it isnt worth that much as it is 15 yo and used. So say about £120 plus postage? [/quote] I'll take it.
  25. At the time (late 80's) you could potentially get any of the Warwick line with just about any combination of pup manufacturer. EMGs were pretty standard fitment for the period but SD, Bartolini and even Alembic pups were used in Warwick basses of this period (NOT the JD I hasten to add). The 2 JD's that I have owned both had EMGs but I'd not have been taken aback to see SDs in a JD (though I've not personally ever seen a JD bass in the flesh/pic with SD pups in).
