@MattW - I've held this bass a few days ago when I collected a totally un-bass related item from the seller. Its fretless and the action is very high... overall the condition is fine but it will definitely need a good and thorough set up and strings! They initially had it listed for £3000, I suggested a more appropriate value which they seemed to have now gone with. The sellers dad worked for Rob Green at Status Basses in the 80s and 90s so the comment about being made by her dad is 100% legitimate. Just read further up that you've seen it and came to the same conclusion! Sorry I didn't post earlier and save you the trip! Anyway... as you were!

I see with my nose, smell with my eyes, taste with my ears and hear with my mouth. Dinner is a complex task. -
There's definitely a number of gig goers that do appreciate a good bass, but if you look at those people against the full population of gig goers I imagine the number would be a very small percentage! I say all of this quite hypocritically as I own a good few rather expensive custom bass, but I also understand that I am the one that gets 99.9% of the pleasure out of them and I'm fine with that! Also, we should all be allowed to kick @Hellzero in the shins for bringing this subject up... again! 😜

It's all pointless because we all know that if we rock up to a gig with a £300 or a £12,000 bass 99.5% of the audience won't notice any difference! Grandiose bass purchasing is only to sate the mind of the purchasers, not the average listener. There, I said it. We're all mugs! MUGS I TELL THEE!!!

Do you still have the parts? Neck, pickups etc? If you actually still have it, and want to sell it, I'd be interested! I'll PM you... -
What's the purple quilt body behind the bass??

Lovely bass! -
I use a pick probably 50% of the time, mostly for faster parts, I tap maybe 30% of the time and go for the usual finger style 20%. These Dunlop 1mm picks are my personal favourite, good and grippy, nice and firm but not crazy thick, a top all-rounder!

Some definitely are, but their A range basses and some of their higher end acoustics are quite excellent. These basses in particular are Ibanez Premium level easily. I had one with Aguilar pickups and an OBP-3 and it was better than a lot of vastly more expensive basses I've owned. -
Fiddlesticks... lol. -
I've owned two or three of these over the years, they really do punch well above their weight. Fantastic build quality and a really usable pre-amp.

This might be of use to some people... I use these straps and they are the best I've used by a good margin. https://www.pinegroveleather.com/special-offers-shop

Hi all, I've had to have a good think about this... But the conclusion is I just don't 'need' this cab (I have a GR AT410+) and I could do with the funds to pay off a final installment on a new custom build. These cabs retail at between £700 and £800 online, this one is IMMACULATE and absolutely brand new. I've owned it for a few weeks and have used it once at home for about an hour. I still have all of the original GR packaging so I can ship it securely and insured for another £25. The cab is 500w at 8 ohm, it has two 8" speakers and an adjustable tweeter. It weighs a meager 8kg and sounds exceptionally good with a huge clear punch. There's been a lot of talk about these cabs, and really they are a game changer in terms of weight and quality. I absolutely love my GR AT410+ cab and won't be moving that on, this one is only for sale as I can't see me using it any time soon and I could do with the funds for the final payment of a custom build. £500 collected from Wickford, Essex or £525 posted within UK in all the original shipping packaging.- 1 reply

I concur with the feet... they need to be flatter and fatter and more stable. When I moved my AT410+ the other day it felt like the feet would sheer off if I pushed it across the floor. I was debating getting some wider, flatter feet, like the ones you get on a decent rack case or amp head, and gluing them in place. That is really my only gripe with these cabs, otherwise I love the sound they provide and of course the lightweight side is a huge benefit.

Hi all, My guitarist is wanting to shift his Hercules GS432B triple guitar/bass stand. Used at home only, so pretty top condition. Retail is about £70 on these, so he's after £35 posted within the UK or say £28 collected from either Benfleet (his place) or Wickford (my place). Any questions, just ask! -
Already on my way to buy some pink foam shrimp! -
Similarly unhelpful comment: If this was a 6 string and I had £6499 more (found a pound this morning) I'd be all over this!

Someone is selling a stonefield 6.5" micro cab in the amps/cabs section... that'd do.
-
Couldn't you have put some washers between the rack ears and the power amp so the holes in the ears line up with the holes in the rack? Might be more secure that way! -

The one rig I think I miss more than any other just because of the undeniable coolness was an OBC410 with an OBC115 and a AD200B head. Great cabs. -

Just waiting for someone to post a picture of an actual chrome dildo... we all know they exist under the rule of 'If you can think it, the Internet can supply it'.
