    Someone should grab this bargain fast as production has moved to Poland and they now cost 310.80€. The rigidity and protection these cases offer are head and shoulders above other plastic shell cases.

    Yes, it's Lenspeed; I've had experience of them. They are great for moving expensive kit and instruments, but not economical at this price point unfortunately.

    Thank you for the bump.

    It could also be worth considering the Total Harmonic Distortion level at both those stated RMS outputs. If the Trace output was increased so its THD matched the other amp, it may be closer to the 500 watts. (I wonder if an amplifier expert could comment please?).

    I do agree Tom, but without the original packaging, I'd be concerned about sending this out into courier world. I also much prefer potential buyers to confirm they are happy with the item in person before they purchase. However, if a buyer would be prepared to arrange collection by their preferred courier I could source appropriate packaging.

    That's the only Warwick I'd be tempted by in addition to my Thumb.

    Do you still have the Dolphin?
  8. Sparky Mark
    Absolutely not, but what are you wanting to achieve; a lighter weight?

    To be honest, they usually are.

    64 TSB for me.

    Do you have the screws that should be in the machineheads as per the below photo?

    This was my TE combo on cab tower.

    This old TE head sounds amazing through my Bergantino ceramic magnet driver cabs.

    The Musicman Retro '70s StingRay Bass is exactly that. I bought my pre EB Ray new in 1981 and the original 2 band preamp is much less refined than more modern versions. I understand the retro model has that more "in your face" delivery, as evidenced by many YouTube videos.
  16. Sparky Mark
    Yeah, but they don't make tort like that anymore.

    I think the main reason is to reduce the weight of the bridge and the overall weight of the latest Special Stingrays. The machine heads are also a reduced size lightweight design. As long as the bridge plate is well secured to the body there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in sustain. The classic pre EB bridge looks great but probably weighs twice what is necessary.

    Are you 100% sure this has 3 band EQ preamp please? (I can only see Volume, Pickup blend and Bass/Treble stack pots). Cheers.

    I guess there's always a possibility that a deposit is taken to remove an item from sale, the potential purchaser delays for whatever reason, then asks for the deposit back. The retailer has then lost days or maybe weeks when they could've made a sale.

    If that situation occurred in a car saleroom, you'd seriously suspect it was a pressure selling tactic.

    If I really really like a bass, especially if it's a relatively expensive (£2k+) vintage one that I'm unlikely to find again, I definitely wouldn't lose it for the sake of £100. Sometimes however, I think we might subconsciously put obstacles in the way when we're not 100% sure we really want an instrument.

    I couldn't find a for sale thread for your HD112 cabs; how much are they please? Do they have covers? Cheers
  23. Sparky Mark
    Which of the three are you selling please? Do you have photos of that particular cab? Is the cover a Bergantino one? Cheers.
  24. Sparky Mark
    £500 reduction.
  25. Sparky Mark
    Indeed. Please don't post any trade offers here, thank you.
