    Well opened it up last night and it came with 2 x 12AX7's (cheap Chinese 12AX7B's to be precise). I threw a Ruby 12ax7 HG into V1 and a JJ into V2 and immediately the amp seems more 'alive'. Will report back once ive had it in rehearsals with the full band but impressed so far. Just need to order a decent set of casters and a dust cover

    Just managed to source an old Ashdown 550 Spyder several years after selling my old 330 spyder. I know these are long discontinued (why ashdown?) but ive always liked their core tone and simplicity - and that’s coming from a dyed in the wool all valve/ampeg player! Question is on these - theres loads of contradicting info online about what valves should be in the pre-amp. Even Ashdown's site differs depending which bit you read. Seems commonly most places say its 2 x 12AX7's, some say its 1 x 12AX7 and 1 x 12AU7?!?. Obviously I know they are interchangable to a degree and different valves will affect the sound (presumably 2 x 12AX7's will increase output but lower clean headroom?). Is anyone still using these amps and if so what valves do you have in it? Finally, once we've ascertained what the correct valve itinery is has anyone had much success with tube rolling in these? Thanks for your time

    Agree with the strings comment. Im a flats user and following the collapse of Picato and subsequently Status Hotwire flats I spent ages finding a flatwound as good (and also as cheap!). Finally settled on Elites Flatwounds. Lovely thump, not massive tension and there is high end in there if you need it. These on my P bass (and Jack Casady bass) through a nice valve amp like my Ampeg Sb-12 is tonal heaven

    Unexpected NAD.  Im my quest to downsize from my current ampeg rig - an Ashdown Touring 550 2x10 Combo

      I had to check just in case you had woken up with three this morning after a visit from the goolie fairy.

      Now I realise my mistake.

      I like Ashdown.  I hope you get a blast out of yours too.

      I like combos. I'm a big fan of making things as simple as possible at gigs. Bass, strap, lead, lightweight combo. Set up in less than a minute. Everything flat, turn it up, bingo. Play set. Pack away in less than a minute and gone. :)

    PM replied to Spark. Not looking to ship at this stage and unfortunately shipping to Spain would be astronomical for a cab of this dimension. PM'd Andy67

    Retrieved from the studio last night so will get it all photo'd up tonight. If someone wants this and the 4x10 im also selling on here id take £400 all in
  10. Pow_22
    4ohm 4x10 cab with proper heavy duty casters than can even take rough-ish car parks so nice load ins/outs. Defo in the 'road worn' catergory but fully functioning. Collection from Bolton or can meet/deliver within reasonable distance. £100 with pics to follow If someone wants this and the SVT 3pro im also selling on here id take £400 all in
  11. Pow_22
    USA made Ampeg SVT 3 pro (with the red and blue SVT logo so assume early/mid 90's). Has output options of 1/4 Jack or those funny 'banana' type plug thingys. The left most EQ slider is missing its tip (oooh matron!) but still adjustable with a pic, ive never used the graphic EQ anyway. Belly full of new JJ valves (October last year) and I recently bias'd the mosfets to run at the 27millivolts as per numerous forum posts over on that Talkbass. Comes with tatty but functional Warwick rockbag carry case. Looking for £350.00. Collection from Bolton ideally or could deliver within reasonable distance. Only selling to fund an amp ive seen on here so if that goes ill look to withdraw. Could potentially be tempted to a trade for an Orange Bass Terror 500 but cash is king. Pics to folow asap

    Yup, my Ampeg SB12 is ported and sounds like chocolate thunder

    Id LOVE one of these in Black, cant find them anywhere tho. Very Duesenberg-esque

    Kept it simple last night.  My 1974 Precision straight into a 1966 Ampeg SB-12.  Beautiful beautiful tone

      There you go, that's all you need. But according to Basschat wisdom, a Harley Benton P Bass and a Peavey TNT combo would have done just as well. xD

    Chris bought my OBBM speakon cable in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  16. Pow_22
    Dave Lunt in stockport?
  17. Pow_22
    Sold to bassbiscuits

    1m OBBM/Bassic Bits speakon to speakon speaker cable. Excellent condition but recent downgrade to a cheaper amp and cab means I now need a jack-jack cable. As such either selling this for £15 posted (cost me £22.15 delivered) or will do a straight swap for an OBBM jack-jack speaker cable.

    Sound City 200 Mk III head that now resides at Skyhammer Studios. Amazing amp and massively different to the usual shite Mk Iv's you see. Sold it to fund an SVT
  20. Pow_22
    a proper 58 P bass - burst, anodised, maple. Stick a set of flats on it and I recon id be in heaven

    Brian bought some flatwounds off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  22. Pow_22
    On the close up pics they look like Elites Groundwounds to me. Do they feel like full on rounds?

    Here we have a USA made Ampeg 1x15 cab with substantial lockable castors. Bought used from Mansons recently for a run of small gigs where the cab worked flawlessly. There are several nicks in the tolex and someone (rather cleverly) has screwed a discrete black screw in each corner of the front grille to prevent the standard Ampeg cab warpage when the grille distorts and misshapes. I paid over the odds for the cab as I needed it urgently (£300!) but willing to take half this for a sale. https://www.mansons.co.uk/product/pre-owned-ampeg-svt-15e-bass-cabinet-10275 Ran it with a 100w ampeg tube head so never massively pushed. Specs from the website suggests this weighs 72lbs but with the chunky castors and well placed handles I don't think this is an uncomfortable shift at all. Pics to follow asap but will be withdrawn if the Mesa cab on here shifts first. It will be collection only from Bolton but could deliver within reasonable distance for right deal. Trade/Part ex with cash from my side for a Mesa cab (PH 1x15, PH 2x12) etc would very much be considered
