Bump..... Trade offers?

Thanks for the good words guys, reviews always seem to be good for these heads Forgot to say this was bought new in 2011, and (rather irritatingly) the band reckoned it was the coolest-looking amp I've ever had.......

I bought this here only last December - briefly; I had an offer out of the blue to dep through Xmas / new year gigs, my one and only amp (Mesa Walkabout) decided to die at the first rehearsal, so not having time to sort it in time for the first gig I had to get another amp head double-quick. This seemed like a really good deal, because it is. USA-made, 350W into 4 ohm (but will run down to 2 ohm), valve preamp stage, 3-band active EQ with variable midrange, aural enhancer, footswitchable sub-octave generator, switch-able compressor/limiter, variable-level DI, FX blend control, really smart polished-alloy front - full specs in manual here: [url="http://support.swramps.com/manuals/pdfs/350x_om.PDF"]http://support.swram...dfs/350x_om.PDF[/url] Christophano, who I had this from, bought it new and never gigged it. I only gigged it though December, (using the DI, so only running output at a low level for stage monitoring) and was hugely impressed - clear, warm, valve-y sound, bags of power, totally straightforward to use, and the sub-wave generator is fab; left on at low level it adds a nice 8-string depth and fatness to the sound. I'd love to keep as a backup, but I've got the Mesa sorted now, not gigging at the moment, and am buying a Gibson mandolin so promised the missus it's "one-in-one-out".... Virtually as-new, with manual etc, only noticeable issue is a slight bend to one of the lower corners of the front, where I'm guessing the mounting screw was overtightened (pictured) - only visible if you look close and I'm sure could be straightened. Housed from new in a really sturdy SKB standard 2u case in excellent nick, these alone go for the £160 mark: [url="http://www.trifibre.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=793&gclid=CJPJ1d3ovbUCFcbKtAodNXUALQ"]http://www.trifibre....CFcbKtAodNXUALQ[/url] A bargainaceous £190 posted, or collected for less from Swansea area.

Lovely amps, really miss mine - almost hi-fi valve purity, but a bit of grit when pushed Bump for a fab vintage Trace rig

Beautiful.......koa facings? I'm lucky enough to own a '76 series 1 (long scale, birds-eye maple top) - and there is just nothing that comes close to them Bump for a lovely vintage 'bic

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1354359912' post='1885125'] I don't believe that for a second Greg! Hope all's well mate, and let me know if you find a grand down the back of the sofa! Chris PS Greg, if you could post a couple of pics with the white pickguard it wouldn't do any harm, and I know the Ric purists out there are not fans of the tort! [/quote] No grand........ 2 peanuts, the dog's bone and about 12p..... Sorry, I'd meant to post these earlier but forgot. Tort does it for me though, and 'd come within a whisker of fitting '60's Ric "TV" control knobs when Burritobass was selling a set a while back

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1354094378' post='1881879'] Been a while hasn't it Greg. What ya got.............? [/quote] Hehe....nothing you'd want unfortunately! Sorry if I'd deleted original pics - could re-attach but yours are more up to date

Vintage Kramer "lumie" bump.... Just snagged a 650B after 30+ years of wanting one, utterly beautiful and unique-sounding bass that feels surprisingly "Precision-y" As a bonus it's the ultimate low-maintenance bass - no truss rod (yes, I've owned Rics too....) and ebanol fretboard that never dries out Nick Lowe's old 350B (alledgedly) on eBay for rather more wonga than Dave's 450B.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KRAMER-ALUMINIUM-BASS-350B-EX-NICK-LOWE-VINTAGE-KRAMER-BASS-/390458092072?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item5ae91daa28

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! You can't be serious - and that's a crazy, crazy price with those p/up upgrades..... If I hadn't just lashed out on a Kramer 650B at the weekend I'd be having this back....still might! Especially as it's yn Cymru

Now SOLD - thanks for interest

Bump....

Bump - price drop to £425 for one week only (to Sat 24th Nov) after which bass will definitely be withdrawn I'll be at M4 Reading services on Sun 25th Nov if that's easier for anyone interested to collect In terms of luthiery and tonewoods this is easily the equal of a Wal Mk 2 which it resembles (I own a Wal Custom fretless, so should know) - the electrics aren't, but are decent enough - definite upgrade potential to be a real top-end grade bass

Now sold pending the usual, thanks for interest

Relisting this handsome beast - always seem to see something I want around Xmas......
