Hey Folks, I'm having trouble deciding on whether to buy the TH Pedal or Amp. I've set on going down the Aguilar DB route with my cabs but I'm not sure if I should buy the TH 500 or just buy the pedal and use it with my current head, an Ampeg SVT7pro. I want the full TH tone so don't want to put a TH pedal in front of the Ampeg pre, I thought I could use the unbalanced output of the TH pedal in to the power amp in on the SVT7 and use the balanced output to the desk. Yes or no, and if so is it worth schlepping the extra kit. I've no use at all for any distortion or fuzz of any kind so that also has to factor in to which of the two I should get. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers.

Hey Folks, Now then.....where to start with this one....... This ere is an ASS 2x12 sealed cab, 500watts @ 4ohms. Built in the 80's and pretty much as new. ASS I hear you say. The story behind this cab is a little bit different from the norm but as far as I've been able to find out there is some affiliation with ASS, Ashdown and John Entwistle but no mention of this particular little gem. This along with a handful of other ASS cabs was found or unearthed if you like in a warehouse somewhere and had been stored there from new, unused and unloaded since the 80's. Nick Carey, well known Bass Teacher and player got this cab from a guy in Chorley, Lancs and I ended up buying it of him with a couple of hours use on it. The cab is extremely well put together, fully damped to the point that the outside surfaces of the cab are as dead as a dodo and made from what looks like very good quality ply. The top driver is angled up slightly as well which helps hearing the cab when playing. It was fitted with Eminence Alphas when I bought it but have since fitted a pair of Beta's, the top driver being a wizzy type jobbie with the extra voicecoil to add a bit more highs. I think the Beta's sound much nicer and a bit more authentic. How does it sound.....pretty damn good actually. Very nice and controlled bottom end being a sealed cab, Mids are very punchy and present, no boom at all with this cab, plenty of growl on tap and the top end is very creamy with no harshness at all. I suppose it would suit a valve amp extremely well also but as I don't have one I've not been able to try it. Used mainly at home but I do use it in some of the pub gigs we do etc, especially at venues where I struggled with boom in the past. It's a bit of a weighty little thing, maybe 5lb but easy enough to move about. Outside dimensions are H31"x W16.5" x D 13" so nice form factor as well for tight stages. Condition is excellent ! As an aside, there's a thread on TB with a similar cab from user Kringle77. Roughly the same size with the same drivers as this [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/kringle77-sealed-2x12-video-1008579/"]http://www.talkbass....-video-1008579/[/url] Price is £220 collection would be preferred from Preston, Lancs but I'm happy to meet up within reason. Thanks for looking.

Hi Folks, Genz Streamliner 900 for sale. I bought this a couple of months back, gigged it a couple of times but it's not the best pairing with my Epifani cab so I'm on the lookout for something a little more modern sounding to use with my Function / wedding band. The amp is pristine, 100% mint. Everything works as it should, LED's etc are fine. I'm afraid I don't have the original box but have confirmed with Fender UK that the amp was bought new in the UK this September last. I'm looking for £385 including shipping FIRM I'm interested in trades for a good quality 8 ohm 2x10, Berg, Epifani, Aguilar DB etc Amps, MBFusion, MB800 or similar modern sounding........ trade value I would put at £400. Thanks for looking. Edit, UK sales only please.

Hey Folks, I fancy giving a Gallien Krueger head a try out so with that in mind I thought I'd put my SVT7pro up for trade to see if there's any interest. The head is a Rev C, had it since earlier on this year, gigged regularly with no issues whatsoever. Great sounding head, tons of power on tap and a very useable eq section to boot. It's always been in a rack bag since new so condition is 10/10 mint. I have the original box somewhere as well. Rack Ears included, manual etc etc.[attachment=149835:svt7pro.JPG] I'm looking for GK trades only, three heads in particular, either an MB800, MBFusion 800 or a Fusion 550. I guess the only other option I would consider is a high end 2x10, Berg etc. Quick pic from my phone attached but I can send more if required. Trade price is a guide only, wasn't sure what to put it at. Based in Preston, Lancs. Cheers.

Hey Folks, Any of you guys know where I could find a Foam wedge type affair for tilting back a cab. I seem to remember Barefaced doing something along those lines but can't see anything on the website. I use a gramma pad pretty much 100% of the time but could do with something to get the cab pointing upwards a little. Thanks in advance,

Hey folks, I'm struggling to hear if there's any Kick drum on the first part of this Stylistics song, after the intro where the bass comes in on the 1 - 3+ - + bit. Ta for any help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJm51jsRoo0

NOW SOLD. Hey folks, For Sale Only is my 1993 Warwick Fortress One. I've only had this a couple of weeks and although it's the finest "playing" bass I've owned I'm not quite getting on with the tone. Would suit a Rock player I'd say. As a previous owner stated the neck on this Bass is a dream, I'd dare to say better even than the one my 2002 Thumb NT. Condition is a solid 99.99%, one very very slight dink under the lower P pickup and that's about it, amazing really for a 1993 Bass. The Neck is perfect, no fret wear and great action. The Bass came fitted with a set of wizards but I changed them out for an EMG PJ set and fitted a BTS Preamp. The original passive controls etc will be included. I've put an order in for a "Built" P Bass so something has to give and as much as I'd like to keep it it has to go to raise funds. A very reluctant sale, priced at what I paid £400 collection from Preston or plus delivery. I'm happy to meet or deliver within reason and happy for anyone to come and try it out. I have more pics if needed and happy to forward them on. Cheers. [url="http://s1014.photobucket.com/user/kennyrodg/media/cf069a5014b6da70ea0ef2ecb0ead0b2_zpscca44b39.jpg.html"][/url]

Hi Folks, Free to a good home...... I bought a used "5" set of 760FL LaBella's and as I only play four bangers the B is surplus to...... The strings feel very new and they sound great on my 1980 Blazer. I'll post it F.O.C if someone wants to make a token donation to the forum. Cheers.

Hi Folks, I have a pair of the aforementioned surplus to... I've just fitted these in my Jazzer and they're not to my taste, going to try a set of EMG's and see how we get on with them. Only a few weeks old and not been out the house, includes the original plastic boxes etc. Now £50 posted 1st class. Now Sold

Now Sold. Hi Folks. I bought this "used" of ebay a couple of months back for a recording project that didn't come off. I now got a Fender Bronco Combo with USB out so I might as well try and move it on. I was really surprised at how good a condition it was in when it arrived and I've not used it since I got it. It comes with Cubase LE5 and the original usb lead and box. So, there you have it, it's in 100% as new condition £50 plus a fiver to post.

Hey Folks, With the arrival of my new Genz NX2 212 I doubt the Ashdown is going to get much use as a stand alone cab any more. I recently sold the matching 210 so I might as well see if this'll be of interest to anyone. As of this moment I can't be bothered putting the original Ashdown driver back so I'll see if it moves as is. If not I'll sell the Faital-Pro separately at a later date. So, Recently upgraded ABM 115 Compact with a basically brand new, 1 gig old 8 ohm Faital Pro 15PR400. I've also foam lined the insides of the cab when I was in there. There is some very minor scuffing on the tolex but apart from that she's good to go. as you'd expect it's a pretty decent upgrade in quality and tone. I'd like £175 as it stands please, collected form Preston,Lancs. I'll be happy to box it up if you want to arrange your own courier collection. I'm not interested at this point in selling the FP driver separately. Trade wise, about the only thing I'd be interested in atm is a GK MB200, should have kept my old one really. Thanks for looking.

Hey all. I have a 1995 Trace Elliot AH350 smx that is now surplus to and For Sale only please I now using my SVT7 and it's proving to be quite stable so the Trace Elliot is now for sale. The amp works 100% and has had a recent valve replacement with a cryo jobbie from Watford Valves and the UV light is working. The head has the GP12 pre amp, valve and solid state blend, two band compressor etc etc. The tolex has quite a bad tear on top of the wooden case but it would be an easy recover job. The price is reflected in this at £275 collected from Preston. I'd be reluctant to post it as it's quite heavy. I can deliver or meet within reason. The head was bought earlier this year from Kris or "observer" on here and served me well on the bigger gigs I've done over the last few months. Pics to follow soon. Cheers for now.

Hey Folks, I wanted to start a feedback thread for Rob. He bought my Squire CV P Bass during the week and I have the pleasure to say that it was a great transaction from start to finish. Messages always answered promptly and payment was very swift. Top Guy to deal with and I have no hesitation in recommending him to you guys in the future. Cheers Rob and I hope you enjoy the Bass. Best Wishes, Pete.

Hi Folks, Did Ashdown do the ABM 410h cabinet with Black drivers ? I thought the ABM came with Blue and the Mag with Black. Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks, Tough one for me this.... Since getting my Warwick this little beauty hasn't left the house so seeing as cash is tight and I'm in need of some more cab options It is with much regret and through gritted teeth that this one is going up for sale or trade. Not too sure how many of these Basses are in the country but this was the first one to come in direct from Willows in South Korea. I spoke to the maker personally to spec it and in his words he would make it very special as it's the first one into the UK. Well, he was true to his word.... The Bass is ( or should I say was) absolutely flawless and the work on it is absolutely top notch. It's as mint as the day I got it except for one tiny ding that I'll picture.... Bugger !! It's a two piece Alder Body in aged white (more cream really) with a quarter sawn Maple neck, 21 Medium Fret Rosewood Board with Pearl Block Inlays and Cream Binding. The frets are finished of to perfection as is the binding, the pocket fit is first class. The action is nice and low and it plays and sounds great. I've had numerous comments and compliment from every one who's had a fiddle with it. I spent £100 on a full set up and the luthier from Bolton (name escapes me atm ) who did the work said it was the nicest Jazz Bass he's seen. The Body is slightly smaller through the waist than a Fender Jazz so it's very comfy and I've since upgraded the Bridge and Tuners to Hipshot Items. It'll come with it's original gig bag and be well packed for shipping. The price is a very firm £350 collected for a sale plus £20 to ship first class fully insured but I'm looking for trade options as well with decent quality cabs, 10's preferably, not Basses please. This really is a superb quality Instrument that belies it's price and I will guarantee you would be hard pressed to find something as good for this money. Link to the Willows site http://www.willowsguitar.com/willow_sub10_2.html Cheers for now.

Hi Folks, I want to put some CTS pots in my Spunky Jazzer. There's 250k ones in there now. Are 500's better....worser or should I just stick to the 250's. Thanks in advance. Whilst I'm here ....it has a 100uf cap in there. I have a .47 in my spares box, is that the common Fender one ? Cheers.

Hey Folks, I used my trusty old Yamaha BBT500H head last night at rehearsal. It was the first time I used it with my Thumb Bass and 8x10 cab and I was pretty blown away with the tone. I've always loved this little head and I've never really found anything that compares with the tone of it....subjective I know but it just lacks a bit of balls at 4 ohms. I'm wondering if there are any lightweight, rackable, bridgeable and doesn't cost the earth-able power amps out there that don't add any colour to the sound that I could run with the Yamaha. I would be very grateful for some suggestions I could research to see if it's viable. Thanks in advance.
