Aria SB900 Now Gone, only the '79 ibby Musician left for me to play, now.

Hi Steve, Pity you sold that Tokai, ! Looked really nice Just A few things left now, Bump

AND, I've left off my Mk 1 Trace V4 with matching cab, all Flightcased, and haven't even mentioned the Trace Elliot V8 yet !

Goodwood Festival of Speed Cancelled today Bump !

My SB1000 is a batwing too, Bump

Goodwood Festival of Speed Bump !

Goodwood festival of speed Bump !

So, My Race for Space continues ! 80's HELBOURG Rotosound Bass amp, built for bi-amping, 1 x 250 w bass output ( requires cab) PLUS 2 x 50w stereo mid/top outputs into built in 12" speakers. Odd one, this. Only other one I've ever seen was the one Paul at WAL uses to test his basses. Superb build , Stupid expensive in it's day. £99 Trace Elliot powered cab ,prob 90's. Amp built into bottom of cab, space at top for preamp. May have been built to use with the MP11 preamp, but that's long gone. Pic of similar cab in John Entwistles bass book. £99 Acoustic Control 70's 404 1 x 15 cab, with good original speaker, clean presentable condition £99 Might be able to find an Acoustic Control 104 100w amp to power it, again £99 Another Acoustic control 15" bass cab, late 70's maybe early 80's model BB2 Porting looks more sophisticated in this one £99. Hotone Legacy Thunder Bass amp. Replaced with a Gnome, ideal practice amp with headphones £50 Please request pics, if interested. Collection, and COD, Please, from Worthing, in West Sussex.

Ashdown RPM1 Pre amp on hold !

Could split, if enough interest.

Certainly a "h'air " guitar, loved by the eighty's hair bands. Dropped my IPad, taking pics, Phone is out of the Ark, and my Nikon battery charger is at work, so no pic's 'till next week ! Apologies .

I may change my mind, keep this, and sell my SB1000 instead, but I'm having to replace the tone module on my SB1000, as I'm not quite sure it's ever worked ! Hence I've always preferred the SB900, cracking bass, superb build, and very versatile. Check out the bass player on " Marvin Gaye at Montreau ", looks cool , too. Mine has one replacement Armstrong pickup, as one died, and the tuners , while great, may not be original. Condition is clean , few small chips consistent with age. Aria build quality on these was world class, and it plays like butter. Collection only from Worthing or Chichester, and no trades please, I'm chasing my dream bass.

Hi Chris, There will be some Mesa Boogie amps, but it's surprising how much time this all takes, I still work, do a few open mikes a week, gig (I'm at the Isle of Wight festival, intoxicating tea rooms, this coming weekend ), and occasionally I'm expected to say hello to the wife, difficult to fit more in, at my age ! But I try ! Best Wishes.

Ha ,Yes, I've always tried to support Basschat as best I could afford !

Yep, bought the RPM1 brand new , yonks ago, took me ages to save up for it. Got the matching power amp for it, somewhere ! Have I mentioned that G.A.S is a bad thing , and there's no known cure, despite what they tell you !

Up for sale my "rack of pre's ", including a compressor, parametric equalizer, and a choice of ancient, or modern preamps, depending on your gig. In all honesty, I've only ever taken this to Basschat gatherings, as it could be described as overkill ! Although, I have used them all, separately. Pic is self explanatory, easy to see what's on offer. ( Ashdown RPM1 gone ) Just found my Phil Jones Bass Buddy, so add that to list ! Collection only from West Sussex please, so that kit can be trialled, and please don't ask me questions about the compressor, I never did figure it out 😉 Will see if I have room to put in car and bring to Bass Bash on 12th Nov

I will have to split the ad listing down into separate items soon to more correctly comply with Basschat rules, so please take note of anything you may have interest in, as that may take me a while to sort.

And I'm still hiding some !

After years of Hoarding, I finally have to let go of my Trace Elliot "treasured collection ", ( I don't want to worry about turning in my grave when my wife rings the local shop to have it all taken away, down the line ! ) Heavyweights first. TE V6 , all original, great sounding amp in vgc, a favourite of mine. £699 TE V4 mk2 head in proper sleeve, again brilliant condition Think mini Trace Elliot V8. £699 VA 350, has annoying fault, but works, £399 V-type hybrid 300w mosfet head, best of both worlds, £299 V-type 15" combo, original celestion speaker, green pimple vinyl covering, so early trace, same amp as above £299 ( see pics below ) There's other Trace bits, some unusual, but I need to sort them out, I've gigged all of these amps, at one time or another, but, as there are so many, no amp has had heavy use . Please request pics, as too many. As usual, I'm unable to ship any of these items, collection from West Sussex, where things can be tried , and checked, is my preferred option. While I will not courier these amps, I do have friends who travel 'round the country who may be willing to help with transportation, worth asking .
