    I used a Series 6 GP12 410 (AH200 head) at a rehearsal room a couple of months ago which convinced me I needed a Series 6 AH200 in my life. The combo was surprisingly shallow front to back but sounded great. If you dont need to move it much you can get them for as little as £150. The head will cost about the same but is way more convenient and works perhaps even better with newer cabs.

    I really like Marbass heads (which is why I own too many of them!) because they are pretty neutral and really let your playing technique and bass come through (not always good). I notice your EQ settings are pretty much flat and filters off, which is where I end up on 99% of my gigs. I'm sure from everything I read that Schroeders are brilliant cabs but I also know that at stage volumes (where it counts most for me) those larger format Markbass heads really come alive.

    Almost 30 years after selling my Trace Elliot head, cabs and combos I have come full circle and found a perfectly preserved AH200. It's hard to believe it's only 200 watts; it punches like 400!

    Now gone. Surplus to requirements so now FREE collected from Hertford. I've had enough of this sitting around so it'll be off to the dump if nobody wants to take it away in the next week or so. Mains power distribution block fitted (easily removed) at rear. Also comes with four mounting screws and black cup washers (not shown in photos). Thanks for looking.

    Still available?

    You also forgot to tell us where it can be picked up from?

    I experienced this exactly. One of the most capable and popular combos is the Markbass CMD121P which is a NY121P cab with a Little Mark III head squeezed in at the back facing upwards. This reduces the internal volume of the combo by that of the amp and surrounding timber. When I directly compared my CMD121P to my seperate LM3 and NY121P the combo didn't sound as full convincing me the extra carry was worth it. I now have two NY121P as my lightweight medium duty rig.

    A STD102HF would be the ideal extension cab for your combo. With the combo head able to deliver its full 500 watt output you will have enough power for any reasonable gig either inside or out. Festival stages should provide PA support and your rig will be plenty for stage volumes.

    The 'A' denotes 'active' and the number is for how many pickups. This is a passive 2 pup.

    Thanks. What's wrong with one of the big blue capacitors? The bulging cover makes it look like it's heat damaged or even blown.

    So you were born twice as well? 😊

    The neck makes it a '61.

    I'm not sure the $12,000 (£8,633) valuation from October 2016 is helpful to your sale.

    Strictly speaking Fenders are dated by when they are assembled, which in this case must have been after the neck was produced in 1961. Beautiful refinish, good luck with your sale.

    Thank you for the rapid reply.
  21. Sparky Mark
    Any update to this? Almost every new for sale thread has no location; nor do the majority of profiles. Thanks
  22. Sparky Mark
    I think the better question is how old is it please? Date of production is shown on the rear label. Perhaps you could delete the two stock photos and add some more of the actual head.
  23. Sparky Mark
    Is there a reason why the A and D string machine heads aren't symmetrically spaced from the centre line of the headstock? I have never seen (or perhaps noticed) this on a 2 + 2 headstock design before.
