Robust sums it up mate. It weighs a f*****g ton. Flip side is that if I run my drum machine through running at full tilt it you'll probably hear it in Yorkshire

Thanks guys, AER do seem to have the knack of producing pretty exceptional gear 👍

To be honest the only reason I kept it was because it sounded so glorious through my AER combo that I could kid myself that I can actually play the thing. But I need to concentrate on DB now that gigs are back on the horizon and as I'm also selling the AER seems this gtr will get little use here

Yep 👍

I've this for sale in the Amps and Cabs For Sale section but as I use if only for DB thought I'd put a heads-up in this section also. It's a pretty amazing piece of kit for DB

For sale a rather lovely unit by AER. God knows why they labelled it 'Basic' because it's far from it, although it certainly performs. I bought it to temporarily replace my EA Doubler and Wizzy before moving to a more permanent PA only setup/in-ears etc. Bought from this listing on Reverb https://reverb.com/uk/item/48991686-aer-basic-acoustic-bass-combo?utm_source=sendgrid&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BundledCheckoutMailer%23notify_buyer_purchase_complete, and has been used at two gigs and four rehearsals since. Has the original AER cover also. Sound-wise it's classic AER, precise yet warm, versatile and simple to use, and for it's power not too hard to move around (although it's certainly not lightweight). I've still got the box so am happy to courier at buyer's expense or to meet up in SE or London with a bit of petrol/train cash. No trades thanks, need to invest in some PA related stuff with the proceeds of this sale. I use this with DB only, works equally well with electric basses as well as a lot of acoustic instruments, acoustic guitar sounds amazing through it Technical blurb below The Basic Performer Acoustic Guitar Amp with its specially designed construction and its 4 x 60 watt power is an ideal tool for acoustic and electric bass-amplification. More than that, it suits very well for all instruments with strength in the low register, e.g.: cello, harp etc. Apart from its two channels with three-band tone- control and mute-switch it offers a compressor and a notch filter. Long scale lengths, huge body sizes, and resonance problems are only some trouble zones of the acoustic instrument. The small twin-cone system is perfect - it is fast, provides a superior coverage for the critical mid-range and has got enough substance in the bass range. The AER Basic Performer has four 8"-twin-cone speakers which are individually powered by four 60W power amps provide for the required surface area and the necessary sound pressure level. The special AER band-pass / bass-reflex cabinet design supports the reproduction of even the lowest frequencies with definition. Hi-end preamps, proper filters and additional professional sound design make the Basic Performer amplifier a multitalented all-round solution. The sound characteristics of this AER amp are full range, open and light - breathing as well as grumbling and surprisingly appropriate for far more instruments than the bass-related instruments such as harp, cello, accordion … or even try a jazz guitar.

Hi mate, any particular reason you chose the mix of light and medium, does it work better than a straight set o/f either for example?

A great instrument worth twice as much as the asking price. There are some very nice EUBs out there, and i've owned a lot of them, but in terms of feeling like a real DB to the player nothing comes close to the SLB-100, and nothing comes close in terms of engineering/build quality, the board especially is perfection. I sold mine about 10 years ago at a point in time at which I wanted something different (I bought the SLB-200) but soon missed it, and was very relieved when I was able to buy it back. I think if I could only own one instrument it would be this, it's an absolute joy to play, the headphone option is extremely useful (as is the ability to mix that signal and recorded music through the same headphone O/P). They don't come up for sale often because people who have them tend to want to keep them, and if you want to buy one new you're looking at close to £5,000. Good luck with the sale 👍

I would love to gig that 👍

£300 before it goes to eBay?

Sorry yes sold 👍

Amazing what you find in your studio when you start clearing things out! Bought this for my Roland kit about 5 years back and used it a total of twice! Details here https://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_sps_e_drum_gigbag.htm?glp=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6Nnt9a2B9gIVCbLtCh2RKwWUEAQYAiABEgLrAPD_BwE Can probably post for around £20, or collection welcome Looks like this, only a bit older

The most ludicrously heavy unit I've ever lifted, makes the average 80's Peavey combo feel decidedly lightweight. However, makes an electronic kit (or I'd assume with some decent micing a real kit) sound damn fine. Certainly a great tool for rehearsal and for monitoring on stage, and for smaller gigs quite giggable on its own. I've even used it for bass practice on occasion. Discontinued on account of too many broken delivery trucks, now's your a chance to own a piece of electronic drum amplification history Details here https://www.roland.com/uk/products/pm-3/ This is what it would have looked like new, mine looks like it's been used. I'll add some pics once I've managed to haul it into the house from the studio, which might take a while Chris PS this is collection only I'm afraid
