Just an additional note, that Mike is an absolutely lovely guy, and real font of knowledge when it comes to older amps. If I didn't have such a long journey back home, I could of easily spent hours there, just taking about gear and playing in general. He still has a ton of stuff there. The Trace V8 has gone, but there's still a lovely pristine V6 there, and other old Trace stuff hidden away. A lot of his stuff will be difficult to find anywhere else I reckon. Paul

The temptation that is Chimike's place, has struck again. Was after the DB750, as just can't seem to find a 751 that anyone wants to sell. Day off work, and drove from Norfolk to Worthing (Sussex) - I don't know how people do the M25 every day, I really don't. Had a remarkably close shave with a car spinning off after hitting the concrete centre right in front of me on the way back- no idea how I and others missed him really, but there you go. So went down to get the Aguilar, and ended up depleting all that money I had after selling two basses, by buying the Trace too. I'm sort of glad that I'm now out of dosh completely, and that Mike is so far away, or I'd be helping him in his quest to clear out the hoarders paradise that masquerades as an engineering unit. Just a quick pic

Yes thanks - if I was to buy the 750, his would be the one I'd buy. In many ways they're different amps, so it's the 751 is the one I'm after. Thank you though

Thanks for thinking of me mate. I called them last week, and was told a deposit had been put down on it by someone.

Already sold. Their stock on their site is never up to date- stuff can be sold months ago.

I've messaged him already- no reply. Did the same last year, after he reached out to trade the amp with a bass I was selling. Held off other buyers, and after weeks of no communication, sold it to someone else. Messaged him on FB, but I think his settings are set to no messages seen, unless you're one of his FB Friends. Waste of time. I'll keep on looking

Thanks for replying. Yes I've seen a few hire companies that have them, so I'll try a speculative reach out. The Galley's one is sold, and the one that is for sale on here from last year, that doesn't show as sold (maybe sold?) is being sold by someone that never replies to messages at all. I guess I'll keep a lookin'

Mods- please feel free to delete, if this is against any of the rules. I put up an ad in the Wanted section, asking if anyone had one of these amps to sell. The Wanted section never seems to attract many views at all. There's often a reply to the selling of something, only for someone to reply that there's someone wanting one, in the Wanted section . I know that they don't come up for sale that regularly, and it's a struggle to find any one anywhere at all for sale second hand. Are they going down the same route if the fabled Sadowsky SA200- ie one pops up every few years or so? Just a question really chaps. Paul

For anyone who hasn't seen my Sadowsky thread. This is an update of my earlier post of the the pickups only on page one of here. My mate finished it Wednesday, and I played it tonight at rehearsal - will gig it tomorrow night. So it's 3 Nordstand Fat Stacks, still the Sadowsky pre, and pan pot replaced with a five way rotary - ala Strat style (rear, rear+middle, middle, middle+front, front).

Ha. I've got no way of doing that mate- I just have a laptop and a phone. No fancy stuff.

Just got this picture to say it's finished.

Finally getting my Japanese Sadowsky Modern fitted with the three pickups- sort of Dingwall-esq now I suppose. Got the impression over on Talkbass that this was heresy, but there you go. It’s moving the front pickup slightly forward a few mm’s to get the middle one in. So will give me pretty much the positions of a rear jazz, MM and P. Geting a 5 way rotary strat type selector, rather than one of the Dingwall 5 ways- with don’t give the option of the middle on it’s own. So will be - rear, rear+middle, middle, middle+front, front - ala strat. Looking forward to getting it back, as really missed gigging it. Paul
