  1. Hello mate Yes, the PJB rig is extremely good although my run of bad luck wit PJB gear continues unabated it would appear (long story) Yamaha 4050? I never tried with bass as it drove two pairs of studio monitors. Now sold so I guess I never will either! Cheers C
  2. [quote name='stingraybassman' timestamp='1389307803' post='2332798'] I'm pretty that counts as flirting. Beedster and this bass need to get a room. [/quote] Ha ha, we might just do that
  3. I'd really like to move some gear on and raise some cash ahead of my impending house move so will consider offers on this before I place it on eBay at the weekend Cheers Chris

  9. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1389089075' post='2329648'] please don't ask me to post. [/quote] [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1389215044' post='2331566'] Any chance you could post it? [/quote] It's just like Deadwood
  10. These possibly show the grain better [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/78FL2_zpsf4a5c97c.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/78FL2_zpsf4a5c97c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/78FL1_zps8640f029.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/78FL1_zps8640f029.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  11. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bump for an investment grade instrument. The pics above are a little lame and don't show the real beauty and condition of the instrument. I'll take some much better photos next time I get some decent daylight. Given where I live, please don't hold your breath. My only real trade wish at present would be for a decent fretless plus cash, and I'd like to take about £500 cash, so an MIJ/MIA Fender, G&L, Warwick, EB or similar would do the trick. There's also a very nice fretless Warwick in Kent that will likely sell soon, so I'd consider a decent cash offer on this while that bass is still available. [/font][/color]
  12. [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1388603433' post='2323951'] You coming back to Kent Chris? [/quote] Hey mate, sorry, missed your post (notifications are a little, well, less than optimal at present). Yes, back in late January. Can't wait. When I left you were a single bass player. I'm returning to you as a married man and aTour de France contender! We'll have even more to talk about. See you soon mate
  13. Hi folks, pics taken indoors with iPhone below. Note that it's the gain pot on the active unit that's broken. As above, I've used it as it is many times without problem.

  14. Another house move victim! It's one of these in black and it pretty much as new condition [url="http://www.lookat.com/uk/adam-hall-stable1blk?utm_content=uk&utm_medium=googlebase&utm_source=merchantcenter&gclid=CL3dlY7c6rsCFQkEwwodjUQAyQ"]http://www.lookat.co...CFQkEwwodjUQAyQ[/url] Will need to be collected from either mid Wales or Canterbury. It can be taken apart (I can do that) but I don't want the hassle of packing and posting, it's just a little too big.
  15. My pleasure, I've fallen for your bass, and I've never really been a fan of Warwicks
  16. [quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1389023129' post='2328905'] What PJB rig you getting ? [/quote] M-500 plus 6x5 plus 9x5 cabs. Something of a change in direction, but also a rig that I hope I can use for electric bass, DB, acoustic guitar and Mandolin (whilst the Ampeg is very very very good at the first of these, it ain't quite so good at the rest). I was hoping to keep both rigs but suspect that space and money are both going to become issues in the new place [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1389023980' post='2328925'] oh those ampeg heads are nice! andy [/quote] Thanks mate, they are indeed. This rig, a Precision and a cable, it's all you should need really!
  17. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAD NOW SOLD, CAB STILL AVAILABLE AT BARGAIN £150 COLLECTED FROM CANTERBURY OR ABERYSTWYTH ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FS a lovely US made and classic bass rig. It actually hurts to sell this one as it's the rig I've always wanted on stage for electric gigs. The real deal in that it's an authentic all-tube tone, versatile enough to work in a number of genres, and small enough to do small gigs yet still get those tones (something that hasn't been the case with several other all tube rigs I've owned). I've owned Ampeg SVTs, Boogie Bass 400+/Buster etc, and all of them were simply too large, too heavy and too loud for the sort of gigs I do, that is, not generally big stages or festivals (when I say to loud, I mean that there's no point gigging with gain at 2 and master at 1). I tried a lot of hybrid heads (e.g., Boogie Walkabout/M-Pulse, Markbass R500) in an attempt to get tube tones at more manageable size and volume, but they never really did it for me one way or another, to my ear they simply had neither the authenticity or the authority that all tube rigs deliver. I did a lot of homework and all the evidence pointed to one of these. So, I set up searches on eBay and checked on BC daily, and all I found were wanted ads for about a year! Jumped on this one when it came up and absolutely love it. It's not small and it's not especially light but it's small enough and light enough. More importantly it does everything I want tone wise, B-15 through to full-on driven classic SVT (I think I'm right in saying that the original VB4s didn't have a gain control, this does, and of course it makes a hell of a lot of difference to what the amp can do). USA made, generally in very good condition, tubes all seem OK, although unlike it's bigger counterparts re-tubing is not going to break the bank anyway. With an impending house move, two very young daughters taking up a lot of my time and money, and incoming multi-instument PJB rig that I'm hoping will cover bass, double bass, guitar and mandolin, I've decided that I'm going to move this on, which is a shame but c'est la via. Will I regret it? Yes. Will I buy another one when the girls are a little older, almost certainly. The PJB is lovely and clean and surprisingly loud, but it'll never be able to do the beautiful things to an electric bass that this baby does. I'm happy to consider selling the two separately, £800 ono for the head and £200 ono for the cab.

  18. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1374961866' post='2155361'] One of the great bass lines, and in a song in which it wouldn't be expected. There's a previous thread about it on here somewhere in which the OP described it as being like a Peter, Paul and Mary session with Peter Hook on bass. Not far off! [/quote] Just heard this on the radio at a decent volume. What a glorious, glorious bass sound. The above description is however wrong, it's more like an Abba doing a Brotherhood of Man song with Jean-Jacques Burnel on bass and Jon & Vangelis doing the middle sections. Either way, if ever a song makes me regret selling my v63, this is that song
  19. Another item that will need to go in the impending move back to an urban lifestyle. I've used these as intended (i.e., as stage monitors), and - with a Headway EDB-1 - as a vertically stacked DB rig, at which role it didn't do at all badly. I knocked the volume control off the PM-12 but all still works fine, but thought I should let you know. I can post. £60 the pair (postage will be extra). I'll post pics at the weekend when we get some decent light and it stops raining! C
