Pow_22

As something I really want has cropped up ive had to stick this on evilbay. Obviously ill incur fees etc on there so ill put it on here that ill take offers. Will withdraw if the p bass ive seen sells

Stew bought a few sets of flats off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction.  No danger here

SOLD

If my Spector shifts any time soon id be very interested in this. Not a million miles away from Lancaster either!

2 x sets - 1 used (cut for a P bass and around 3hrs use) and 1 x brand new.

£15 for the used set and £20 for the new set delivered in UK

Stunner!

Driving Manchester to Sheffield this Saturday so could potentially drop off

Clearest pic i managed eventually was this.  The fender thing makes sense as now the bass player is apparently with Noel Gallaghers solo project and is using a Super Bassman 300. Thanks again for the help 👍

LEGEND!!! Thank you very much, ive been pouring over google images to find closer/better pics!

The microphone and cab suggest that it’s a guitar amp rather than bass amp at first glance

I thought that.  I did see a live vid where that make shift grill cloth was moving/bulging to the bass notes.  In earlier videos is a standard black looking metal grill

Pearce and Yamaha used similar layouts/knobs.  Who are the band?

Its early Zutons. Amazing live tone with a 70’s jazz bass and flatwounds on old Jools Holland gigs

Anyone identify this amp from these really poor pics? Looks like maybe a 3u rack type amp (seems two in a rack so assume one back up). Seems fender-ish type knobs but cant find anything fender wise on google that would match it.  Sound wise its old school valvey type but size wise im not sure it would be all valve 🤔🤔

Im an Elites user (flats, grounds, nickel). The grounds are high tension, to me they feel even more so than their flats. Great strings but initially very unbalanced sound wise.  The E is particularly tubby in comparison to the rest but eventually they do even out. I may gave a used set somewhere i could dig out for you

The 3-Pro comes close but just does not have the thunderous presence of the CL. 

I thought the 3 NON pro was close, same pre as the svt II non pro. Its just the ‘3D’ ,for want of a better word, that the Classic gives that ive just never had anywhere else.  If i had to pick THE closest that ive tried it would be the Mesa BB750

Cheeky picture of her chilling with an SVT Classic to tempt you?  Imagine the roar 😍

Every time i have one i sell it due to weight, spend ages trying loads of different amps, then buy another SVT. Just bought my 4th (3 x classics, 1 x II non-pro). Cant get that sound anywhere else for me

🤣 that tub is full of real ale bottle tops as my mate is making a bottle top/resin table from an old cable drum

Price drop as ive bought something.  Will take £250 if it can be collected from Bolton

Few messages asking for ‘gut shots’….

Here we have a Warwick Quad VI amp. Ive always described Warwicks “valve amps” and a budget Mesa BB750. Technically they are all valve with a 2 x 12ax7 pre amp and a mini all valve power amp of 1 x 12ax7 and 1 x EL84 (in this case a vintage Mullard effort). This is then fed into a 400w amplifier stage to give gigging volume usage.  Gets dirty with the gain cranked and is genuinely the closest ive come to a big valve amp without having a big valve amp.  Comes in a rackbag for ease of carriage and looks and works immaculately.  Was voted “amp of the year” by bass player mag (according to my google searches).  Theres 2 used ones for sale at Bass Gallery at the moment for around £500 so ill price mine at £300 with the rackbag and mullard EL84?  As always, collection from Bolton or can meet within reasonable distance.  Not trades at moment thanks

One and only price drop to £1,300 then it will probably be used in a part ex at Bass Gallery

Whilst cash is king - Trade wise/part ex id consider Fender P’s (4 string traditional type - I particularly like 90’s MIJ fenders), Italia rimini bass or peerless retromatic (black) and valve SVT’s with cash top ups to make up the difference in value

So, just in case anyone was remotely interested....

having used this at a few full volume rehearsals i can say quite honestly it DOES do that valvey thing quite well. I mean in the way its clearly not an all Valve amp but it does do a very good imitation.  Most hybrids that attempt that all valve sound seem to focus purely on the ‘distortion’ side of things - whilst the Warwick doesnt do the sag/bounce thing so much it definitely does that valve ‘roar’ when played loud.  I loved the tubepath and this is very much in a similar vein, id say (as i did with the tubepath) its very much a Mesa BB750 on a budget. Very happy so far with my Spector and will feedback after monday when i use my MIJ jazz. So far so good
