If you were ever passing Tewkesbury, you would be more than welcome to pop in for a play?

This is one of Mackies lower priced range of pa speakers, but its still a really well-specified piece of kit, and for the money is wonderful. We have been using it as a powered practice monitor for our drummers electronic kit, at which it excels having a 15" speaker and bi-amped (class D) putting out 300w and 100w to the tweeter, but I guess it would be just as good as a stage monitor. Its light (36lb), and apart from a small crack in the plastic casing on one corner which it had when I bought it, its in excellent condition.

Couldnt agree more, but then I would say that!

Dont look like they are stuck on? They are mother of pearl type thingys.

Forgot to say, it has a really nice Guitar Research gig bag as well.

I bought this last year as I really liked the look of it, and intended to swap out the pickups until I found some that really suited the bass, which is a really classy instrument.

I have, it has to be said temporarily, soldered in a pair of Nordy P/Js, which sound immense! No need to do any more experimentation, although the bass would benefit from having the pickups soldered in a tad more permanently (my soldering skills have definite limitations!).

Since I bought her, a lot has happened in my life, which has caused me to need to cut back on the equipment I have, and this beauty has been sitting in a bedroom for the last few months whilst I sold off some of my more expensive basses, so for a really quick sale, I would sell for [b]£200[/b]. She is in really good condition, only a couple of years old, and the pickups alone are worth not far off that.

Final price reduction to make space in the garage bump.

I'm a very happy StageClix user. Arent the Samson and AKG systems illegal now? I bought the StageClix because I thought my AKG bug (brilliant by the way, never let me down over many years) had been outlawed recently.

These really are the bees knees. Make me an offer, I can only say no thanks!

Another bump

Bump.

[b]For sale, our "spare" pa speakers, which we have used precisely once since buying them last year. We have another set the same that we have been using all the time, which we have been absolutely blown away by, having replaced a pair of Mackie SRM 450s. The FBTs, which are made in Italy, are far more detailed and crisp, much more powerful, unbelievably light and being digital, probably more reliable. They cost £1400 + cases, and we are looking for £950 please. I have photos, but for some reason cannot seem to load them at the moment. If you look on Ebay, you will see some for sale (ours are absolutely identical, mint in every way and the latest model) for just under £1400 with no cases, so they really are a bargain. [/b]

[b]Just look at the weight/power! We get compliments at every gig about the quality of our sound, and would never consider a different make now.[/b]

Hey Bobpalt - do you know what the neck radius is on that? I can't seem to find it online as a spec. Cheers
[/quote]

I dont sorry, and I cant find it on line either! Its a really comfy neck though, and only Friday a pro musician friend played it and was blown away, commenting on how nice the neck was. I really cant fault it for what it cost, and whilst I have owned a "real" Thunderjet bass (which was awful), this is the opposite. If you are ever down Gloucestershire way, you would be welcome to try it.
Cheers,
Bob

Gretsch Electromatic Junior Jet. Less than 200 squids. Brilliant tone, brilliant to play, brilliant to look at. I cant say enough nice things (for the money they charge), and I have owned a few short scales a LOT more expensive. Have a look, you wont be disappointed.

Bob

Still here!

Wow, you dont see many of these for sale over here!!!

I had one of the first ones in the UK in 2005, and have regretted selling it ever since I was "persuaded" to do so by another enthusiast. They might not be flashy basses, but they become such a friend and are a joy to play. Scott and his team put so much of themselves into each build that they somehow feel like organic little buggers rather than a factory built instrument. I wish I was in a position to buy this bass, I really do.

Good luck,

Bob

I've had the input socket on a Genz Benz amp damaged by one (the "official" reason for its failure was the use of said cable), and twice on stage have had sudden failures of Switchcraft sockets which looking back could possibly have been due to the cable. The bits inside were pushed out of place, so I for one would never use a PW cable in a live situation as its just not worth the risk. My friend has used the same cable though for 12 years and he swears by them...

Still for sale, make me an offer bump.

Wow! What a way for me to find out I've sold my bass!
Many thanks, you wont be in the slightest bit disappointed. Did Mark point out that there are a few new sets of strings in the case as well?

Cheers,

Bob

I want this! [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Status_S2_4.html"]http://www.bassdirec...tatus_S2_4.html[/url]
But this is only possible if you want to buy my Lakland Jobo 5 in Natural Ash with Bartolinis and an Audere preamp. ABS case included! Pictures to follow. Simple! £895
There's something about Father's Day that makes one irrationally aspirational!

Shame I didnt know. Thats my bass, and I'm only in Tewkesbury....................

Sorry!

Bump

Change of tack.

I have started to try to reduce my collection at long last, and first up is my [b]Nordy VJ4.[/b]

This is a very light, comfortable bass (just over 8lb on the kitchen scales), and is fitted with an Audere pre. I dont know which models the Nordstrand pickups are sorry! Its in really good condition, although I have to point out that there are a couple of very small marks which you have to look for to find on the body and neck, so its technically not mint. There is a hard case included as well as straplocks, and I am not looking for trades, sorry (the idea is to reduce the numbers!), and I think its very fairly priced. NOW SOLD, subject to the usual.
