  1. [quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1471200127' post='3111226'] Yes - 4ohm, 450w - weight, as a estimate from my lifting it into and onto the back seat (singlehandedly) of the car (and from googling around) is 40-45Kg. [/quote] Mine was quite a lot heavier
  2. Glorious cabs, glorious. One of these broke my car in 2011
  3. Lovely, and a great project for someone. If it hasn't sold by 6.45 this evening I'll take it
  4. You say 'Precision-spec' do you mean in terms of nut width?
  5. Jazz sold pending the usual
  6. Greg, really sorry but I assumed you'd sold it so got one elsewhere. Still available then I guess folks Chris
  7. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1470913874' post='3109301'] Yup, that's direct from my inbox...gulp. That was a funk unlimited 5 with all the basic options, apart from a flake finish. You'd still be at £4750 or thereabouts for a 4 string equivalent and for a black one you'd still be over £4000. [/quote] Still something of a price rise since they came back into production isn't it Andy? Had a few questions about the Jazz. I don't have scales here but it's a moderate weight instrument. Neck isn't Geddy Lee thin but it is a thin C profile. It's in good condition and comes with hard case (which IIRC is a Fender). It also comes with both ashtrays. Anyway folks, I'm happy to discuss offers on either, but to keep it simple, let's work like this: If you need it sent by courier, the Flea or the Jazz are staying at the prices indicated. If you can collect, I'm happy to negotiate, simply because it reduces the hassle and the risk. Fair enough? I'm also happy to bring either up to that London on the train to facilitate a deal. Chris
  8. A new Flea will now set you back $4999 plus US tax plus courier, import duties, VAT, which is in total close to £5000.....
  9. [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1470870582' post='3109145'] Wounded that the Precision has gone - Bump for the others! [/quote] Thanks Lee, sorry about the '65, was never going to be around long.....
  10. [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1470849346' post='3108948'] Well that's bloody nice, although I think I already have enough amps, that looks beautiful and I bet it sounds tremendous ! [/quote] It's the only amp I've owned that gets close to the one I sold you Chris
  11. Thanks folks. Should mention in response to a couple of PMs that it's sale only, no trades Cheers Chris
  12. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1470841975' post='3108877'] That's the thing Chris, I'm debating it. I've actually put some gear up for sale as we speak. Don't know if I'd need a 5 or 4...and there is an FU5 In black too... I'm sure SIMS used to do some of the sparkle finishes for SMART distribution when they did Modulus... [/quote] Yep, I think that's the case. Martin did a Flea Bass a while back for me, incredible glass-like finish. Incidentally, I've got to go down there next week so could drop it in for you
  13. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1470839934' post='3108855'] Just wish the Flea was a sparkle finish... [/quote] I loved my blue sparkly Flea until I took it on stage and all of a sudden it looked a bit, well, much, for me anyway. Perhaps not the right instrument for Chicago Blues? Can't find a blue sparkly? Buy this and get it refinned?
  14. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1470834707' post='3108806'] My deciding factor is this: If I really wanted another SVT, then I can go buy one. Tomorrow. If I bizarrely sold my Shuker, it would take a huge amount of effort and there's a lead time to get another. I'd be in for a long wait and I couldn't get one second hand. - So, if it's something that you can buy another of, then you are safe to let it go (at the cost of realising you made a mistake!) There's always an alternative too. [/quote] Yep, that's my thinking. If I get offered a gig that needs an SVT, I'll just get one
  15. Mesa Walkabout Scout in Canterbury you're welcome to use Andy. Chris
  16. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1470824104' post='3108700'] Lovely piece of kit, Chris! If I didn't already own that lovely Ampeg rig I bought from you last year, I'd be very tempted by this... Anyway, hope all's well at Beedster Towers and GLWTS. Nik [/quote] Thanks Nik, hope all's well mate. Even I can't think of a reason why you'd need this and the Ampeg All good at Beedster Towers, the monkeys are growing up and the gear collection is thinning at about the same rate
  17. I've been there a lot in the last two years (having sold three big Ampeg rigs). Sell it mate. I bought a very nice preamp (REDDI) that I run either into the PA or the desk. Tube heft/grunt/tone is lovely but it ain't the be all and end all.
  18. Thanks Harry, it's a lovely piece of kit and looks absolutely fantastic on stage. It's ability to do the job with electric bass is unquestioned, but it's so much better with DB that I thought it would be, really flatters both my playing and the instrument much like my old B-15 did. Only gigs I'm likely to be doing in the near future are acoustic/miced with DB, which whilst it is a lovely approach, means there's not much point in keeping this baby. At £700 it is of course an absolute steal, as it was when I bought it from you (they're over £2000 new now, and you'd have to wait a while to get one in this colour) Cheers Chris
  19. Glorious combo in a very very very cool retro tan colour scheme. It's not being used and is going to be replaced by more family oriented gear! Bought from Harry (Hazbeen) on here a while back, it's in extremely good condition and has the Mesa Boogie cover also. I'd prefer collection from Canterbury but can post, although it won't of course be cheap! A couple of Harry's original pics below, I will post more later if need be Chris [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB4_zpsth7mrmxj.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB1_zpstgcguwal.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB6_zpscgcjsppf.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB5_zpsqf1q3l9e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB3_zpsubc7hvs6.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB7_zpsdcn8knso.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s87.photobucket.com/user/welcometombh/media/Mesa%20Boogie%20Scout%2015/MB2_zpsrryjxsat.jpg.html"][/url]
  20. Rather lovely Modulus Flea and an equally lovely Fender Jazz still waiting for new owners here folks. I've put them both back in their hard cases and put both in the bespoke bass storage area of the house (i.e., under the bed and a long way from the music room) to avoid playing them because every time I pick up either I want to keep them
  21. I'll take the PR-40, can you PM details? Cheers Chris
  22. Funny how good a Precision with J-PUPs looks, especially when compared to a Jazz with a P-PUP, which just looks wrong. That's a very elegant looking bass. I've always been convinced that a significant part of the P-Bass tone is in the neck (having played Precision neck on Jazz bodies and vice-versa), so I'm looking forward to hearing your views on how that sounds compared to a 'proper' Jazz. Either way, lovely looking bass, good work.
  23. Ah, just for a second when I saw the title Harry I thought it was going to be the Venture 2x12 combo, in which case I would have had a rather poorly timed attached of GAS! Either way, I'm not sure what differences in tone there might be - if any - between this and the M-Pulse (both are monstrously good), but these Ventures look absolutely stunning, the angled front adds so much mojo. Where's the 'sighs nostalgically' emoticon when you need it eh
  24. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1470602258' post='3107069'] I remember it as THE low point in a 25 year bass playing journey. [/quote] And just to clarify, that low point is up against my early 80's hair-do catching fire whilst doing a Taylor on stage at City Poly in 1982, and pulling over an entire Trace rig (2 x cabs + head) at an audition
