    [color=#3C3241][size=4]So, I am selling this tiny monster. Watch the video if you want to know more, but the core of the matter is: if you are looking for an extremely portable and quite versatile amp with heaps of personality and volume (yes, it is *loud*), look no further. It's got a tube and you'd be set for any sort of tubey sounds.[/size][/color] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzDohmkXeJs"]https://www.youtube....h?v=XzDohmkXeJs[/url] [color=#3C3241][size=4]It comes with its matching cabinet, the Orange PPC108, which is a beautifully sounding small cab, *especially* on larger stages where you have a PA anyway. However, if you plug the head in a decently sized cabinet (say a 4x12 or 2x12), it becomes a giggable amp. It was certainly loud enough to rehearse in a power trio combo. That being said, I mostly bought it for the purpose of recording a very specific guitar, which I no longer own. I experimented with both miking and going direct from the headphone output into a cab simulator. I was amazed at the results in both cases. It comes with its power lead and, hoping I can find it, its original box. Happy to meet in Islington or Central London. I'd rather not post, but let's see. Some specs: Power: 20W (hybrid) Tube: one 12AX7 tube preamp with solid state power amp Controls: Volume, Tone and Gain Single channel Impedance: 4 ohm minimum Headphone output Aux input for MP3 or CD Dimensions: 6.5" x 5.3" x 3.74" Weight: 1.87 lb.[/size][/color]

    Interested! Though I'll have to talk to the Mrs First.

    Interested! What year is it from?

    Perfect, this helps me quite a lot. I was a little afraid that a low-cut might have been in order with these, unless going FRFR for quite a lot of money is an option. At this point, a lightweight amp is probably the wisest choice. My original thinking in using a powered speaker was also very much informed by the fact that I tend to use a laptop and plugins all the time, so that perhaps going into something with a flatter response would have made sense, and would have allowed me to use it on guitar too. However, I see now that the tradeoff would probably be too big for it to be a convenient deal. Thanks a lot!

    Ok, I know this has been discussed in the past (though I am not really succeeding in finding any conclusive info). I have recently started playing with people again, and I am in the market for an amp. Now, I live in London, cycle or use the Tube, so something enormous is completely off the table. As a consequence, I am thinking about a 1x12 or something like it. TC Electronic, Peavey (the Max series), and Fender Rumble 100 v3. Then, however, I thought: what about buying a powered speaker, and putting a sansamp or Zoom B3 before it, running my amp / cab combo combination? After all, I thought, one could probably get better bang for the buck in terms of wattage, though I am not entirely sure whether the W power would be reflected by the rig's volume. Anybody has experience with this? My question, broadly, is whether something like this http://www.thomann.de/gb/ld_systems_play_12a.htm (it's literally the first one I stumbled upon) could do as well as an amp of comparable wattage such as the ones I mentioned. Many thanks!

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1461066136' post='3031054'] Is that definitely an Allparts neck, I've three on various basses and all have exactly the same stamp "Allparts Licensed by Fender" across the heel? I thoughts they were USA also (might be wrong there though)? Either way, good luck with the sale, but might be best to confirm now rather than getting an irate PM after the sale [/quote] You raise a valid point. To be honest, the other Allparts neck I have does have does say "allparts". It does, however, also bear similar numbers and the same "made in canada" sticker. I'll check again.

    [quote name='bass-a-licious' timestamp='1461058117' post='3030959'] Hi, it looks like there was a decal on the headstock at some point that has been sanded off now. Is this right? Or is it just a reflection or lighting issue? [/quote] I think it's most likely the glue residue left after a failed attempt of the previous owner to apply a decal (of which I know). It does not feel like it's been sanded off. I don't have it here, and I'll check as soon as I get home.

    Looks lovely. I am really looking forward to your opinions, most importantly because if I recall correctly, you did own a Dingwall for some time.

    Well, I mean, you might be able to do it. But the question is: if you get something like a Raspberry Pi, then you'll need a keyboard, a mouse, a display—you could have a touch screen one, but I digress. The external audio interface is a must for reasons of quality of sound and because the Pi (if that's what you're after) comes with just a combined audio jack. I fail to see how the whole thing is going to be less bulky than the average laptop plus sound card to be honest...

    Hey all, I am selling this very nice neck. I had bought it to replace the fretless neck on my fretless Mexican Jazz Bass. However, I sold that one and no longer need it as I bought a new fretted J with a very nice neck—sure enough, an Allparts one. As a result, I haven't even tried it on. Of course, you need to provide your tuners and string tree. It's nicely finished, Maple / Rosewood. Can send pics as soon as I get home. I'd rather have it collected from London, but might be convinced to post it.

    Short answer: yes, it is possible. Long answer: it is possible, provided that you have a nice external soundcard running on Firewire or USB 2.0 (or greater) and enough processing power (which isn't too much). But yes, of course, I've been playing live through my laptop since 2007 or so.

    I actually think it is white, but then again, my girlfriend tells me I am useless when it comes to colours. I'll try to shoot a picture with some reference.

    I've just bought the fretted J of my dreams and have decided to let go of this fretless one. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but there's only so many basses I can have. [b]Not interested in trades.[/b] I am not entirely sure, but I believe this is a (very well done) fretless conversion. I do not know enough about fretless fenders to know that for sure (or to care, for that matter). It plays very well and it is in great condition (full stop, not just for a 10-yo bass). I'd say that shipping is possible, but collection from London is preferred. If shipped, it will come in a battered hardshell case.

    I bought a bass from Paul in the smoothest of transactions. The bass arrived the next morning, perfectly packed and surpassing my wildest expectations. Recommended!

    I played this beauty a while longer and realised with horror the mistake I was about to make. Withdrawn, withdrawn, and withdrawn.

    So, for a very limited time, as there is something I really like on the marketplace, I am considering selling this beauty. This is a truly fantastic bass, of which I am probably not worthy. Reason I am selling is that I might go back to simpler five-string bolt on basses after all. Most importantly, I am not fully convinced yet. So, FEELER. As to the rest, I bought it new in Italy some time back and I have the original semi-hard case and all the fancy tools that come with it. Other than changing strings and setting it up with a lower action, this is as close as it comes out of the box as it gets. Pick up from London preferred. Scroll down to see me playing this beauty (some strange tapping extravaganza). Will do other pics and samples, as soon as I have time, if need be.
