Would consider a trade for an Aguilar Tonehammer.

I much prefer Mongol Horde, if anyone's heard of them?

Admittedly they are a three-piece (Vocals/Guitar/Drums) but the Guitarist plays a baritone guitar with the signal split to generate both the guitar and bass parts.


Here's a live video. Yes it is crowd shot, but the audio is of an acceptable quality!

OR if you prefer studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4alaVpNeWmY

I would expect the courier to be in the region of £40. I'm away at the moment but will be back home from Monday and will find out for you.

EDIT: The courier I use has an online booking calculator that's offline for maintenance. Once this is back up, I'll investigate the cost for you. I've used them before though, so I'd expect it to be £40 from experience.

8 Ohms minimum.
600W RMS maximum.

I'm not on the prowl for anything at the moment I'm afraid.

I haven't been active on here in a long time, and I haven't been active on the strings either sadly. I'm hanging onto the basses for now, but the gig-sized amp setup has to go unfortunately.

It's an:
Mesa/Boogie 4x10 Road-Ready Cab


The cab is big. It's heavy. But it's built into a flight-case with wheels. Amazing sound, and what else would you expect from Mesa/Boogie? It is a few years old now, and does have the old style logo, but it's just as good, if not made better. It has rubber feet on the side, so that it can be rotated 90 degrees and put on-top of another cab (should you have one).

In short, this rig is the perfect gigging/touring set-up. Well-protected, reliable, from brands to be trusted.

As you can see, the cab's front cover does have a band name stenciled on the front, but you can easily re-spray it black. I haven't bothered as that bit comes off when you're on stage anyway!

Asking price is [b]£200[/b].


I'm in Epsom (Surrey), feel free to try before you buy. Alternatively, I can drive a reasonable distance to meet. I have a courier I can use if you're further away to post.

Unfortunately, I don't really do music or sound engineering anymore and so this piece of kit is going spare.

It's a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 firewire interface. I've used it for studio recording, live recording, and pretty much everything! It's got Focusrite's incredible pre-amps for an amazing tone, and can handle 8 microphone inputs, plus a host of other ins/outs.

Pictures will follow tomorrow, but here's a link to the product page. [url="http://global.focusrite.com/firewire-audio-interfaces/saffire-pro-40"]http://global.focusr.../saffire-pro-40[/url]

They still seem to retail around £350 new (and for good reason), and the 2nd hand market seems to be around £200-250. As this one has a few scratches on the top and bottom from being rackmounted, I think £200 is a more than fair price for it!

I'm based in Epsom, so feel free to swing by if you'd like to try/buy in person. Alternatively, I can post this out.

So, £200 for an AWESOME piece of kit that every music engineer/student should have. What say ye?

Excellent, thanks

I entered it as 700, no punctuation. I think it's because I hadn't paid a subscription, but now that I have, it hasn't 'unlocked' my hidden post.

I can recreate it, but it was quite lengthy so I'd like to have to avoid having to re-type it all out if I can!

Hello. I've bought a subscription and created a 'for sale' thread, but alas it's still not showing.

Could a mod assist?

It's an:
Ampeg SVT350H Bass Head


First up, the head is great. It gives you that Ampeg tone, without the valve weight. Yes, it's not quite the same, but it's more than good enough for all but the most committed of tone snobs. 350W RMS output at 4 Ohms. Drives one or two cabs with no issue. Have a look on the internets for further details or reviews. It's the predecessor to the SVT450H and is basically the same, just 100W less.

In short, this rig is the perfect gigging/touring set-up. Well-protected, reliable, from brands to be trusted.

The head's flightcase has a tour label on it which currently has my name/number on it, get some spirits and a rag and that'll come off, ready for your details instead.

Priced at[b] £350 [/b]including the flightcase (which alone is worth £100). A mighty fine price! I would also accept a trade of an Aguilar Tonehammer.

I also have the cab up for sale, which can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265896-mesa-410-road-ready-flightcased-cab-only-l250"]HERE[/url]. If you want to take both we can work out a price, and I'll happily entertain fair offers. At the moment, no swaps.

Is it the Retro Six 10, or it's predecessor; the 69er?

I used to work in a large guitar shop, and I got to play around with every high end brand bass there is.

There were only ever two basses that stood out and made me wish I had the money to buy them.

One was a Sandberg VM5, the other was a Rickenbacker 4001.

I ran all these basses through the same amps, same cables etc so Rick must have done something right. Other brands I had used were Fender, Sadowsky, Lakland, G&L, Ibanez, Gibson, et al.

Who uses just one sub with two tops? I never figured out why people do that and companies sell that kind of setup... I don't want anything less than a pair of each cab for my band's PA.
Just one sub is bad for a pub band, where is it going to go? On the middle is the better place but it sits in front of the stage and there's no room on the pub for people to walk or stand. Goes to one side but it will be drowning the musicians near it with lows... one at each side will be able to be used at lower volume and make the stage and venue sound more balanced.

Having a sub on either side of the stage will nearly always result in a worse sound out front in smaller venues. Phase mashing and all that. One single decent sub will give much better results.

I still got my perfect 10 mini bass stack lol
[/quote]
That was one of my first amps and it sounded great. Got replaced only because it wasn't loud enough for gigging.

A common fix to this on the OTB was to replace the 12AX7 valves with 12AT7 ones. As they had a lesser gain you got a more usable range of tones, plus it cleared up the DI output.

£700 would probably pick you up a second hand USA Standard Fender. They're good right?

I have the MXR M80 which I rather like. Never had a chance to try a different one such as the Sansamp so can't compare,but I'd suggest giving the M80 a try if there's a store near you that has one.

Send Thornybank a message. He's the resident Trace Elliot Meister

Just picked up a cab from this chap. He was thoroughly nice and works as a sound engineer so knows his technical stuff.

Everything went smoothly, and he even did a little repair for me for no additional cost!

In short, lovely bloke.

One is a gain control, the other is a volume control.

As you turn up a gain control, you increasingly amplify the signal going through the circuit.
With a volume control, when it's on maximum it's not doing anything to the signal, it's as you turn it down it's adds resistance and brings the signal down.

In pursuit of the ultimate quality clean tone, I tried all sorts of amps, but settled on a pre/power setup. It sounds fantastic, has miles of headroom and is very transparent. What pre and power amps do you have in mind?
[/quote]
It's not so much about having a clean tone that I'm interested in this route, it's more so about having something fairly neutral that doesn't add or detract from the tone already being generated by the preamp.

I use the MXR M80 at the moment. Might upgrade to a sansamp at some point in future, but the M80 does the job well for now.

Power amp, I'm open to suggestions. Are there any specifications that make a PA power amp good for bass usage, or will any power-amp that's good for PA be good for bass? (e.g. Crown, EV, etc.)

Cab wise, I'm going to have to go for a normal 4x10 for now. Maybe I'll look to barefaced when the budget allows

Nowadays, I get my tone from an MXR M80 DI which is fine when running straight to a pa, however when I'm running through a normal bass amp I just set everything neutral and still get quite a bit of coloration.

Sooooo, I'm considering getting a rackmount power amp and a fairly neutral cab, primarily for monitoring, but with enough power to do a gig without pa support if required.

Has anyone got suggestions of a good way of going about this? I've got my eyes on a nice crown class-d amp which should do the job.

Any chance those of you commenting on this thread, could weigh in on my other one about venues?
