Hi. This was my bass for a while, and it was one of my favourites, having a superb tone and it was very easy to play with an incredibly low action. The leds are a great colour as well! I was under the impression that the fingerboard was macassar ebony, which has natural swirls and patterns in it, and its certainly not a flaw of any kind! The wood looks like some kind of burl, and had a wonderful smell (which I often wondered about!) Its a really nice bass, and is on my shortlist of instruments that I miss.

I didnt know Wishbasses did an upmarket model................

[b]Behringer 300 watt head and 2x10" cab[/b]. I bought these for use in our practice room a few years ago, and although I gig with much more esoteric equipment, I have always been very pleased with the sound and volume I got from them. They are in really good condition, hardly marked, and full of features, such as wheels and a tweeter level control on the cab, deep, bright, ultrabass and shape controls on the amp, etc. They are surprisingly well made and heavy pieces of kit, so pick up from Tewkesbury would be needed, otherwise the carriage would add another 50% to the cost of the rig! I have upgraded my practice rig, otherwise wouldnt be selling, and for a quick sale, all I want is £120 and they are yours! [b]NOW SOLD (thanks Ivan).[/b] [attachment=65495:ebay_three_013.jpg] [attachment=65496:ebay_three_014.jpg]

[b]Ashdown Superfly 250/250 watt amp.[/b] This amp is actually pretty much unused, having been in a cupboard since I bought it (new), and stripped off the horrible aluminium gubbins that I had heard caused them to overheat. It looks like a nice, cool little black head now, and its very light. Its in its padded bag, but I cant take any pictures yet as I took it to our practice room last week to try it out and left it there, sorry. Suffice to say that its spot on, exactly like any other Superfly, and if anyone wants to see it, I can bring it back on Thursday and take photos. I dont want to mess about, and just want a quick clean sale, so £75 and £15 postage seems about right. I know some people have a lot of love for these amps, but it was just never me.......... I will also be putting up for sale soon my last rehearsal amp, a Behringer 300w head and 2 x 10" cab, in perfect nick, for £100 the pair, in a few days if anyone is interested. Again, nothing whatsoever wrong. I have recently changed over to 15" cabs and just want a simple rapid sale. This would be collection only though from Tewkesbury. Superfly is now sold, subject to the usual, but the Behringer is still available. Cheers, Bob

Its what theyre all like if you take the horrible thick aluminium overheating case off!

A month ago, yes, but I had been looking for a Ray and bought one then, sorry. Bob

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1003913' date='Oct 28 2010, 03:45 PM']I am shocked this is so light! When I had my custom Overwater built, it was one of the most stunning things I'd ever seen. That too had a top of Wenge, very much like yours, but it weighted 12.6lbs!!! It was the single heaviest bass I've ever touched and even though it was my first custom build I let it go. The sound was AMAZING, but I couldn't stand with it for any length of time. Chris claimed it was due to the amount of Wenge that had been used as it's such a heavy wood. This bass may of proved that wrong![/quote] I had a similar experience a few years ago with a 5 string throughneck Progress with a rRio Rosewood top on a mahogany body, that was soooooo heavy! This is the opposite though, I guess because of the spanish cedar. The wenge cap doesnt seem to add much. I have a couple of wenge necks on basses and they arent heavy either. Cheers, Bob
