[/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

Bump for pics

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.

Sold

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.

My pleasure, I've fallen for your bass, and I've never really been a fan of Warwicks

[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!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Hello mate, it's 42.5mm, 1 5/8 Chris

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

This is still for sale

Hey Justin, nice clips, many thanks, I really like the tone (and there's nothing wrong with your playing or talent mate). C

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1388618336' post='2324197'] HNY to you too Chris. Seriously, this is an excellent combo that will work superbly well with virtually all basses. GLWTS matey [/quote] Cheers mate, back in the SE in a few weeks time so hoping to catch your band live soon C

[quote name='johnbiffa' timestamp='1388604357' post='2323968'] Civilisation beckons again ? [/quote] Ha ha, indeed it does John, just have to admit that i don't have what it takes to live miles from almost everything! Looking forward to being able to walk to gigs again, bass on my back, head in one had, cab in the other. Hope the Bassman's working out for you mate, all the best for 2014 Chris

Can't help thinking that this is the best bass for sale on here at present. Michael, if you fancy a maple fretless Precision, give me a shout

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1388611982' post='2324102'] This is one fab amp. It's light, versatile and high quality. Sounded great with my double bass and Fender basses, just not quite enough EQ for my BabyBass which needs high mids squashed as it's a singular instrument. Fine price for a superb conbio that works well with most basses (just not my BB!) [/quote] Thanks Clarky, happy new year mate. It's actually a very very good amp irrespective of it's size and weight, and sounds gorgeous with all of my basses and both DBs. Whilst you needed a slightly more sensitive EQ, I wish more amps came with such simple yet effective tone controls (the only amp that comes close to it in this respect is the Mesa Walkabout with it's 3-band para). Had I not just bought this http://basschat.co.uk/topic/225523-bargain-phil-jones-pjb-m500-6t-9b-cabs/page__fromsearch__1 it would be staying, and if some of my studio gear sells I may keep it anyway! Cheers Chris

Any sound clips?
