    From sound guy, "surprisingly state of the art , 2 x 12A7, 1 x EL84, 1 x EZ80. 1 x ELAC 8x5 speaker with input transformer. Tone,Volume,Beat,Speed Controls. (Tremelo like effect). The valves in it, are the basis of many modern amps, they we only designed 5 years before this Heath Robinson. Might be an early Watkins Westminister who started in 1951? Only thing inside is the the date 2nd March 1951. Serial Number 1141. 240V AC."

    Ok, final go, £30 collected or £40 couriered mainland UK. Still less than some strings

    Thanks guys. As predicted no rapid response from sound guy Dansette was a word that sprung into my tiny brain.

    Cheers Mykesbass, will try him on ******fakers.

    [quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1432210587' post='2779199'] Why do the amp experts have to be so old? [/quote] No whippersnappers should have the knowledge . I thought about editing the title then thought CBA. I will ask our beloved soundman for more details. I hope I have the life expectancy to get a reply.

    Slightly against the flow here. I had a lovely Sea Foam Green Limelight 64 tribute made for me. It was exceptionally good, but for whatever intangible reason, it just wasn't "the one". I managed to get a used Mex Fender Roadworn Jazz in Fiesta Red and it really is exceptional. It even replaced my FSR as no. 1 gig bass, and that took some doing. So, perhaps one of them is worth trying?

    Our sound guy has put an appeal up to identify this purported 1951 amp. Any ideas will be gratefully passed on to him. Cheers in advance (ps if you know what it is, well, I thought I was sad ) Karl.

    Oh yus

    There is also bass bin north east and I know there is a south east based F/B page but I left that one because of a couple of know it all smart arse, last word, it's worth this much mate type of knob heads. If you courier it obviously doesn't matter what region you advertise in.
  11. karlfer
    Delivered, £67 vat and import duties paid in cash. Jeez, I'm such a worry wort Thanks for everything guys, cheers, Karl.

    No use to you I'm afraid, because of price, but I got a TTE and gigged it for the first time last Sunday. It was frankly sensational. And loud. Very loud. Two Blackstar wielding guitards, mic'd up drummer, rock, and I had the master on 7 0'clock , gain at about 1 o'clock for much tubey goodness. Warm and punchy. All 3 of the band turned round after the 1st number and chorused "that is 'kin awesome". They don't normally say hello until the second set I had my two cabs up for sale and withdrew them as soon as I got home I read on Talkbass that stats for Markbass failures showed to be less than 1 %, but obviously for the poor buggers in that 1% it is a big deal.
  13. karlfer
    Ooops, long day!

    Absolute perfection, IMO. If I hadn't removed my Markbass 210's I would have been busting a gut to sell them and get these. Dave is not just a top class bassist, but a top class diamond geezer as well. Good luck with the sale fella, I shall be watching via satellite for dodgy geezers in trenchcoats and Homburgs at Lanark Lock

  16. karlfer
    Cheers Gary, done that, waiting for a reply. Thanks to you and Clarky, know what to do/expect now. You two should work in courier management

    Cheers Ash. I did use to use this as a practice amp, with a Blues Brothers/Commitments band in Scotland. Strange it's not been snapped up. Needs a bit of work with contact cleaner but far from unusable, certainly more than enough power for home rehearsal. So, amp head, speaker, in a box, for less than some sets of strings cost! Funny old world eh

    First time I've imported something, a Warmoth neck. So it's arrived at Manchester and the tracking now states "receiver to pay taxes or duties on this parcel". Sadly it doesn't tell me how to do that, where to do that, or what happens next. In 24 hours its gone from Fife (in Washington) to Seattle, to Louisville to Philadelphia to Manchester. I now have the feeling it's going to sit in Manchester for a fortnight Anybody with experience of what happens next please? Cheers, Karl.

    I was GASSING to change my two MB 2 X 10'S and get either 2 x 1x12's, or a 212 (TKS or Bf). Sunday gig, put my new TTE 500 RJ through the two Traveler 102P's, stacked the proper way, not vertically. End of the 1st number, all the rest of the band turned round and in unison stated "that sounds 'kin amazing!" I was a bit gobsmacked as well, removed them from sale that night. Basses, 4 brilliant players, two too many. No GAS

    Stunning bass. Rarely available. Great price. And I have nothing of value to sell . Good luck, somebody is going to be very happy.

    35 watt Peavey practice amp, made in USA IN 1996, 1 x 10. Reasonable condition for age. Fired it up for the 1st time in years, horrible crackling which has almost gone with a few turns of the rotaries. Fairly certain some contact cleaner would sort it but I haven't got any. Good bit of gear for the price, US made. Prefer collection from Wigan as it would cost £17 extra to courier UK. Links and feedback below, cheers, Karl.

    I have gigged these this afternoon, with my new Markbass TTE 500 Randy Jackson. As the youth would say OMG!!!! Best I've ever used, so fully withdrawn, apologies.
  23. karlfer
    PM's replied thank you.
  24. karlfer
    What a nice thing to do, well done that Steve!
  25. karlfer
    VERY unusually there are two Schro 212's for sale at excellent prices on Facebook at the moment. One near Blackpool, one near Burnley. Daft light and daft powerful. EDIT, doh, and of course my 2 Markbass Travelers (gratuitous plug eventually )
