Oh Hell's bells, T/bird, white, chrome colour pups and vintage bridge. I KNOW I'm in trouble

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1484736796' post='3217869'] I'm sure there are a lot of people who go to this show and would appreciate 20% off. Out of all the crap that lands in my inbox every day I don't begrudge Basschat 1 email every blue moon. [/quote] Nail > head, well put Chris.

I did a 750 sell out bike rally charity 18 months ago (tickets were £35 for the weekend). We were told to be there for 4pm sound check. Duly turned up 3.45. Organiser " we're running behind, sound check 6.30pm". Me. "Could you not have texted one of us so we could have gone for a bite somewhere?" Organiser "if you don't like it, f*** off home" Result of that was the other 3 lads dragging me back out of my van, as I was offski, before I banjo'd the prick. 4 hours each way, no fuel money plus abuse? I left home 11.45am Sat, got home 2.15am Sunday. Never, ever again.

Advert on a Facebook group. Craig Addecott is the bass player from the fabulous "Whos Next" Ashdown Klystron Bass Magnifier 1200 £450 Chapmanslade REDUCED - This is an incredible amp. Perfect working order. Recently serviced and PAT tested. It's served me well as my main gigging amp for the past few years and is perfect for every situation from clubs to large open air festivals. It has never let me down. Footswitch and cables included. Full spec as ABM EVOIII (see Ashdown Website). Only selling as I am upgrading to a new Ashdown rig. Trades welcome for Ashdown 410 600w/650w ABM 115 500w cabs, ABM EVOIII 500 heads. Or Fender Jazz Basses but would prefer cash. These amps are rare and seldom come up for sale especially in this condition. Collection from Westbury, Wiltshire. Price is ono. Thanks for looking Advert is on this group but you will need to scroll down (or search Ashdown) https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090051102626/ Fabulous and rare head so a great opportunity for somebody who likes these. Terrific price as well. I'm so bloody tempted as I had a 500 watt, but they are just too heavy for me nowadays.

Another great deal with Dan, such a great bloke and ambassador for BC. Just wish I had enought to buy his 'Arry as well . Until the next time Dan, thanks again

All I can say is those strings look a bit rusty to me. Personally, I wouldn't sell a bass with rusty strings, I would change them before putting the bass up. Doubt I would put some new LaBellas on mind

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1484305183' post='3214475'] . . . . in your dreams. There will always be valve amps but in the bass world valves have been a niche market for many years. Class D is the de facto standard for PA systems. The move into the bass environment has been slower and fragmented but the rate of improvement is increasing and will reach a point where Class D will become the standard for bass players. 5, 10, 20 years? I don't know, but it's coming. [/quote] Hmm, 20 years ago, your mobile phone could make phone calls (IF you had reception) and possibly text, if you were rich. Now even mine could run NASA I hope I'm still around to see bass amp technology in 20 years, could be interesting.

These cabs have been around for a year or so but very little in the way of reviews. Many folk got them? I know Andy (Travis) is well enamoured of them. Comments from experience appreciated, ta.

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1483890283' post='3210876'] ANOTHER Schroeder? I swear he is trying to build a house with them! [/quote] Possibly. After learning he has 2, yes 2 1515L's I understand why he wanted a neutral meeting place

Another great deal with Andy. An absolute pleasure again Andy, if only all were as easy to deal with as you. Good luck with the 412

Is it not a Big Al prototype ?

Good luck Steve, hope they aren't guilty of mis-selling. Again, slightly off topic, but I KNOW somebody makes bridge saddles that have a flat bottom, rather than just being cylindrical. I've got a feeling it was on one of the Yam Attitude Sheehan models. Might do a bit of research over the weekend, BUT.......... if anybody knows

Slightly off topic Steve, but I thought pretty much all Sandbergs (from Electra up, I think) came with Plek done at factory and included in price of new bass? I hope the dealer hasn't charged extra for that/ If unhappy I would certainly be asking replace/refund, but I'd be VERY nice about it as this issue is a difficult one. Especially if it's playable and they do not stipulate parameters for "action" or saddle movement. Good luck and be nice with them all for as long as you can be .
