All PM's replied to, thanks for the interest guys! And Nik, fingers crossed!

Thanks Nik. I'm gutted to be putting any of my gear up for sale, I've never been one for getting rid of stuff, much prefer accumulating it. The bits that have gone have always been in exchange for more gear! The van has been a nightmare, I've been out teching and tour managing for a couple of bands, just starting to get some regular work together, and the whole thing ground to a halt with a big crack in the engine block! The new van will be up and running soon, but lost a lot of work, time and money on it. Hope you're well mate, thanks for the good luck, I'm about due some

Hey guys, As with my other thread in the amp section, I'm having to reluctantly try and offload some gear as my poor van suffered a catastrophic engine failure and has to be replaced. I'm offering up my 1980 Peavey T-40 for sale. It's black/black/maple, with the old-style toaster pickups (not the later blade type) and I had the age confirmed by Peavey when I picked it up a few years ago. It's got a great low action and a fast neck, and is all original and working - no noisy pots/switches or anything. There's a few scuffs and scratches as you would expect with a 30+ year old gigging bass, but nothing major, and it looks great. The switching allows for both humbuckers to be coil-tapped, and for them to be switched in/out of phase for a wide range of tones. Also comes in the tatty but functional Yamaha hard case it was living in when I bought it. This has been adorned with a sticky pass from a Paul McCartney world tour! I'll take some pictures in the practice room this week and get 'em posted sharpish. Looking for offers in the region of [b]£370 [/b]for this beast of a bass. I'll buy it back off you once the van's fixed too Mike

No worries mate - cheers for the heads up, let me know if you end up in a position to go for it Mike

EDIT: previously listed these for sale when my van broke down - I'm now in need of a decent guitar setup, so something has to go to fund it! I'm offering for sale: [u]Ampeg SVT3 Pro[/u] Owned from new since Jan '06. Gigged regularly, always been reliable. Two small cosmetic scuffs on front from an altercation with the lid of a Gator rack case on the first day I unpacked it, apart from that it's in pretty good shape. Currently lives in a good solid 3U flightcase which would be included in sale. Great grindy Ampeg tone. [b]OR[/b] [u]Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0[/u] I've owned this for about two years, lightly gigged. Practically perfect condition and comes with the proper Genz Benz gig bag too (not included with new purchase). Recently fitted with brand new JJ 12AX7 in the preamp. Tiny footprint, ridiculous light weight, 600W into 4 ohms. I'm looking for around [b]£425[/b] for the Ampeg + Flightcase or [b]£380[/b] for the Genz + gig bag, whichever goes first! Will add pics ASAP. Collect from Liverpool or will courier at buyers expense. Mike

Sent you a PM, good sir.

This is a ridculous price for a 'ray - why are you crazy people not buying it?? Have a bump on me - if I wasn't too broke and already snowed under with basses, I'd be off to the bank asking favours. In fact, if this had a maple neck, I think I'd throw caution to the wind and sell a vital organ or two for it.

No worries mate, cheers for letting me know, good luck with the sale

Hey dude, you replacing this with a smaller/lighter head? I'm after replacing my SVT3 and Shuttle 6 with a CL! Thread with the info is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139790"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139790[/url] Let me know if you fancy it

Any interest in trades for something smaller? I'm after replacing my SVT3 and Shuttle 6 with one of these beasts! Thread with the info is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139790"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139790[/url] Let me know if it takes your fancy

Bumpasaurus Rex - anybody want to ditch their big heavy amp to go lightweight, and get a great backup as part of the deal?

Have a bump while I go put my kidney on eBay.

Hey folks, Looking to trade in my two lovely amps for an SVT-CL or SVT-AV! Exhibit A is a pretty much mint Genz Benz Shuttle 6, with gig bag. Bought this from its original owner about two years ago, it's been lightly gigged, mostly lived in our rehearsal room. Exhibit B an Ampeg SVT-3 Pro - USA-made and owned from new since Jan 2006. It has two small scuffs on the front panel, received from the clips on the front lid of a Gator rack case on the very first day I owned the amp (Doh!) but is in good nick aside from that. Lives in a 3U flightcase these days, which would be included in any deal. If anybody is interested in taking these two heads in trade for an Ampeg SVT-CL or AV, I'd be happy to make a straight swap. Failing that, if anybody is after a trade+cash for one head, I will try and find a buyer for t'other one to facilitate a deal. I'm in Liverpool but will travel (within reason) in my big-ass van to come do the swap. Alternatively, you can visit me and try the amps out in my rehearsal room. Will throw some pics up if anyone is interested - just let me know! Cheers, Mike

Heard nothing but good things about Edwards stuff in general - have had my eye on some of their 6ers for a long time. Have a free bump on me for a beautiful bit of kit, good luck with the sale!
