    There are some good Facebook pages/groups where you can sell gear free. They have been ok for me, for example I couldn't sell my Thumb here but it went quickly on FB. UK Bass gear for sale trade, Bass market UK etc.

    Your research starts here https://www.facebook.com/camdenenterprise

    You are looking at a minimum 14 hours driving there and back. Even if backline/kit etc are provided, one vehicle is going to cost you over £150 in fuel. I don't even want to think what it's going to cost the guys from Stornaway, financially or time wise. M74 and down is one thing but.... ferries/planes whatever. I would be doing a lot of research on the venue, Facebook etc. If it seems there are 30 people a night there and they are all punks or whatever... The guys really need to decide if they want to invest this time, money and effort when the possible worst case scenario is nobody there, no pay of any type and the agency don't even bother turning up or talk to you. If you can all afford to do it and all want to do it, despite the drawbacks, go for it. Good luck regardless, cheers, Karl. For what it's worth, I refused a Dutch Festival later this year, in the originals band I'm in. They offered us Euros 500. I worked out it was going to take 3 days out of my life, even complete slumming/one vehicle it was going to cost all of us £150 each. I wasn't popular, but that band is their dream, not mine. I'm just the replacement bass player as the original bailed.

    Feedback for smaz

    Second time Gareth has shelled out his pocket money on some of my gear. He really is a thoroughly great guy, great comms, instant payment, decisive and an absolute joy to deal with. Deal with utmost confidence. And he's kind to animals and small people apparently In all seriousness, a credit to Basschat, all the best fella and speak soon.

    I had one of these amazing amps before I went lightweigh/micro. These are superb amps and if you aren't gigging you could hire them out for fracking!

    Many thanks Dave, your very rare bass went quick didn't it . Sold thank you. Karl.

    It will do 500 watts at either ohmage setting. The only relevance the cab has is this; If it's an 8 ohm cab and you set the selector at the back for 4 ohms, you won't get much more than half power out of it. The only reason anybody would want to do that is if they had a low wattage cab, say 300 watts. Get a cab of 400 watts plus. If the cab is rated at 4 ohms, select 4 ohms on the head. If the cab is rated at 8 ohms, select 8 ohms on the head.

    I tried the TH 500 through an Agi 112 in Doncaster, as I was really convinced by Walbassist's video. Massively disappointed in the volume with the gear I tried. I had to turn that drive thing a long way up to get real volume. Sad because I didn't like the sounds with the drive right up. I ended up getting the Puma 500 and have gigged with it every week for the last 8 months. Love it. Powerful, simple yet great range. Even a clutz like me can not get a bad sound out of it and the "Taste" control is a great, quick, on the fly tone changer. Still lust for big valvey things though

    Just keep an eye on the ads on here. For instance, there is an SWR Goliath 111, 410 at £150, absolute steal. Too far from you, but you may get a result if you make an appeal for help, ie, somebody coming to say Leeds from Surrey for Easter. Not as cheap but excellent bargain, member 4 candle's Markbass 410. 800 watts at 8 ohms, and light weight. I played through this last week, all you would ever need. Top guy to deal with. Buy that, put selector switch to 8 ohms, power up the amp, plug in, sonically give bystanders colonic irrigation.

    And if it does do the Elephant Fart, try backing off the EQ. I know with passive basses (especially Ps) I used to need to cut quite a bit on the bass control. And yes, hogwash. Selector switch on the back. Won't do 500 watts with the switch to 4 ohms through an 8 ohm cab.

    What, no OB1-Kenobe

    Ideally cab rated 500 watt plus, but you would REALLY have to be going some to damage a cab rated 400 watts. If it was a 8 ohm cab, rated 400 watts, select 8 ohms on the back and the head will produce about 275 watts, but you don't need to do that unless you are very nervous. These things are loud and quite capable of demolishing walls so just treat with care. A 400 watt cab, either 8 or 4 ohm will do very nicely. Enjoy.

    Terrific amp. It will have a 4/8 ohm selector switch on the back. Switch to 8 ohms with 1 x 8 ohm rated cab. Switch to 4 ohms with 2 x 8 ohm rated cab or 1 x 4 ohm rated cab. That way you will get your full 500 watts capability at all times. Try to make sure though, that you have at least 400 watts of speaker cab, for safety. I don't know if they are still the same, but originally, turn the gain past 9 0'clock and break up started. A lot of us changed the original valves to get more usuable gain. There is a great pinned post by Happy Jack in the Amps Technical section. Enjoy.

    PMT in Manchester, have Orange Bass Terror, 500 watts in. [b]AT £359. BARGAINACIOUS [/b] Seems Orange have a replacement incoming. Grab one of these great amps at a bargain price. No, I don't work for PMT or Orange, Just sharing a bargain with you guys.

    Sorry, away with work yesterday, catching up today. Many thanks for the kind comments guys, very humbling. All pm's replied sent (I think). Ebenezer, despite these having a slightly smaller jazz body, they are not daft light. This one shows 9lb 3ozs on scales. Don't know why but I can't get a link to Lakland to work, but if you google it, then go to DJ PAGE (PRODUCTS DROPDOWN) the full Skyline spec for this model is there. Many thanks all, cheers, Karl.
  19. karlfer
    Many thanks guys. I may trade this now, with cash either way, as the super bass I was after is not going to happen now. Anybody want this and lots of quids for their Custom Shop Dusty Hill ?

    For me, it's a shame WPD has gone. He could be a touch abrasive if you took it the wrong way, but on many occasions he came across as having a heart of gold. IF he should have been banned, it should have been for his photo in speedos There are more antagonistic folk here than him, but that's just my opinion. Guess most of us can be a pita at times. Mods, thankless task, all of the people all of the time.

    Lakland DJ 4,Korean, 2007, before they switched to Indonesia. £650. Based in Wigan but happy to courier UK at buyers cost (about £25 fully insured). Couple of little nicks on headstock, one near rear straplock, which I was going to cover with nail varnish, but never got round to. Rarer maple fretboard. I may well trade, with cash either way as the bass I was after won't be going ahead. Payment by cash on collection, cleared cheque or bank transfer. Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='amnesia' timestamp='1427122159' post='2725985'] Don't think so. Let me go and check. Nope, still me. [/quote] If you have amnesia, how do you know you are you

    Thanks for all that Martin, hugely appreciated. It looks BLOODY FANTASTIC! Sadly, I've just cancelled mine. 12lbs is a non starter for me. Looking like donor body and Guitar Angel for me. Enjoy, looks superb.
