  1. Burns bison bass in black (club series reissue) with hard to find Burns/Hiscox hardcase. One of the coolest looking basses around and this one has had a fair bit of work done to get it playing as good as it looks:- New bridge fitted. The original on these is notorious for its wide string spacing meaning the G and E string don’t sit over the relevant pole pieces on the pups. This resulted in a much much quieter G & E. This new over engineered bridge has the strings sitting perfectly and is much more adjustable that the original. I still have the original too. Full ‘Advanced Set Up’ at Jacks Instrument services in Manchester. This included a fret dress to get the action nice and low without any buzzing/choked notes. The nut was also originally too high making the first few frets hard work, Jack recut this to a proper level. I have the receipt and hang tag as proof of work. This was all done literally last week! My fave flatwounds – a set of Elites Detroit flats to bring out the thump in this beast. These basses were given a bit of a re-birth and reintroduction to the ‘yoot’ when Andy Bell of Oasis started using one (both the reissues and an original 1964 model I believe) in the early 2000’s. This is my second one and I guess I fell for its looks again despite knowing that deep down all I need is a decent P bass. Loads and loads of tonal options which is actually why im getting rid. Im a p bass guy at heart and too many options means I spend more time knob twirling (oooh matron) than actually playing. As such im looking to sell this to fund either one of the new Squire 50’s P basses, squire 70's p bass or to put towards my SVT II fund. Whilst it does come with an extremely substantial hardcase id ideally like collection from Bolton or could meet up within reasonable distance. Pics to follow asap
  2. have an at "if you were closer" type bump. Wanted one of these ever since I played one in my local PMT. Always wondered what they would look like with a white guard, almost like a Geddy P Bass?
  3. It did im afraid. Apologies for not updating the ad, will do it now
  4. Loved these back in the day but before they closed they changed the formula. The old silkless ones were lovely but then they changed and had black silks at both ends and the actual string seemed different. Dead E's galore and uneven twangy G and D. I snap up any NOS ones that come up on ebay
  5. Excellent strings the Detroit Flats too, my go to choice
  6. Of all the p basses ive tried - fender (modern and vintage), sandberg, squire, limelight etc the best bang for buck are the late 70's/early 80's Tokai Hardpunchers, absolute gems that just sound like that 70's p bass sound on so many of my fave records
  7. These are all valve, the SVT4 is a hybrid. That's the main difference
  8. That's the one. Ive bought a few things off the seller Kamil (he's bought a few amps off me too) so complete faith in the seller, its just do I NEED 300w of valve power? My current amp, a Peavey Alphabass, puts out circa 160w via 6 x 6L6GC which is plenty, but headroom though.......... £600 is a steal, in a drunken hopeful moment I bid £500 on yours fully expecting it to be knocked back, it was instantly so obviously (and understandably) below his minimum auto decline amount
  9. How you getting on with it @Bankai? Im always looking at the stock over on Amp Broker (a polish amp shop that mainly deals on reverb, really good guy running that place) and they have a similar SVT II in, very tempted!
  10. Agree here, im a big Ashdown fan when it comes to their heads, not so much when it comes to their cabs. An Ashdown head with a trace cab would be best of both worlds
  11. Orange bass terror Mk1. ONLY class D ive tried that I actually got on with
  12. Congrats, cant say im not jealous! I did put an offer in but admittedly it was low ball and auto decline. Enjoy!
  13. I know, my finger has been hovering over the Offer button on the USA coloured logo one daily for a while now 😬
  14. This GAS inducing thread is making me think about sticking my peavey valve head up for sale to fund an SVT II
  15. Cheers Quilly, they are great amps. Stick this with an Ashdown 4x10 (I really like the old original shelf ported rat fur MAG series) and you'll have an excellent rig for not much coinage. Even better stick it with the Ashdown CL-610 advertised on here and that's a serious rig!

    Drew bought my Ashdown cab off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Had a chinwag about all thing amps and nice to meet another BCer. Nae danger here
  17. Defo looks like an Ampeg SVT Tube DI on top of the amp, had one not so long ago, lovely bit of kit and quite rare
  18. That's why im looking at them, I need a budget 4ohm cab for my valve head. Theres 2 that fit the bill on my local Facebook place - the Marshall and an Ampeg. Ive tried the full fat version of the Ampeg i.e not the B series and found it a little boomy. The Marshall seems to have the same front shelf port that the B series Ampeg has so just wondering if they bring the same boom
  19. Would trade/part ex for a decent 4ohm bass cab (ideally a 410 but 115 or something may do) something like a peavey 410TVX or an Ampeg b410 hlf, has to be 4ohm tho Sorted a 4ohm Peavey 4x10 now so no trades im afraid
  20. My second favourite ever bass tone was through an SVTII Non Pro into an 810 cab, with my flats loaded P bass it was glorious! Only topped by the same cab with an old Japanese MTI era SVT, that actually cause a stirring in my loins!!!
