I am selling a sunburst Vintage EST96AF Musicman Stingray copy – and a very good copy it is. It’s brand new with just a few tiny scratches on the scratchpate. Otherwise, the chrome is gleaming and the paintwork immaculate. This is the 3-band active version with Wilkinson hardware and pickup. The bass has been set up very well: it has a low action with no dead spots or other issues. I'd say it is slightly below average weight for a bass and the neck is fast and not too chunky. It is perfectly balanced with (unlike most other basses I've played) absolutely no neck dive. I‘ll supply a copy of my original receipt, which will give you a 12-month warranty (give or take a week). It comes complete with the original cardboard box and allen keys. Collection from Dorchester is preferred, of course, but I’m happy to pack it up for your carrier. I can supply a beat-up but functional hardcase for a tenner if you’d prefer. Retail on these is £300+ and the lowest Buy-it-Now eBay price I’ve seen is £190. It’s yours for £100 and I will throw in a brand new set of d’Addario roundwounds. This could be an ideal Christmas present for someone.

[quote name='geoff90guitar' post='1009049' date='Nov 1 2010, 09:42 PM']Hi, Have I missed the price?[/quote] The price was in the strapline, Geoff. £80. I must have erased it when i wrote 'on hold'.

One cabinet down, but not a sniff for this one yet. This is a chance to get an EBS neo cab with a real birch ply cabinet.

[quote name='Dropzone' post='1008719' date='Nov 1 2010, 05:03 PM']Do you (or any of the chatters?) know if it would work with a Mark Bass Jeff Berlin Combo? I don't understand all this ohmage stuff? If so I'll have it. Thanks Mike[/quote] Mike, it looks like the combo takes an additional 8-ohm speaker (which is the usual way of things) - so it would do. Unfortunately, another canny buyer has just pm'd me to say he'll have it. I'm going to put 'on hold' on the thread. In the unlikely event that the sale does not go through, I'll let you know.

Hi Mike, Yes, it's still here (but for how long.........?)

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1008158' date='Nov 1 2010, 08:57 AM']I had a word with myself and my idea was to double it up with my midget however, as the midget is rated for a lot more than 300w, this cab would start to fart before the midget would. However which 2x12 is it?[/quote] This cab should keep up with the Midget, because the xmax is similar and the cone area is larger. The amount of air moved is usually the limiting factor rather than thermal power handling. However, the only way to tell for certain would be to try it in practice. The EBS is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=108820"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=108820[/url]

I'd also be interested in trading my EBS 212 for your SUB, Primebass.

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1007474' date='Oct 31 2010, 03:45 PM']Could you get a quote?[/quote] Sure. It would be £10 for delivery with UPS insured up to £50. Extra insurance costs four or five pounds more if you want it. For something as sturdy as this it's probably not worth it - but it's your call.

Yes, delivery is a possibility and would be at cost - or arrange to collect using your own carrier. I'm in Dorchester.

This was originally a Laney 2 x 10” cabinet but I have spent many hours upgrading it. The cab itself is now well braced and fitted with BAF wadding. It is rear ported (correctly tuned) and fitted with a Speakon input rather than the original jacks. I’ve replaced the original drivers with two Volt model SB250, which is an OEM version of the BM251.3, details of which you will find on the Volt website: [url="http://www.voltloudspeakers.co.uk/"]http://www.voltloudspeakers.co.uk/[/url]. This is a very expensive driver, virtually the same (apart from the surround) as this one, which sells for £161 (each) from Wilmslow Audio: [url="http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/b2508-486-p.asp"]http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/b2508-486-p.asp[/url] The Laney cabinet is very compact for a 2 x 10. Dimensions: 59 x 34 x 35 (W x H x D). I would estimate the weight at around 18 - 20kg. The Laney badge is no longer on the grille, but I can supply it separately for you to fit. Power handling is 300 watts, but I have never been able to get it anywhere near max. It works fine on its own and delivers plenty of low end but also ideal for stacking on top of a 15" cab, as it is 8 ohms.

[u]EBS 212 Proline Bass Cabinet[/u] I’m selling my EBS 212 Proline cab, as I now using two separate single 12s. This is a great-sounding cab built with 13-ply Finnish birch and specs as follows: 69 x 58 x 44cm (H x W x D) Weight 29kg Power rating 600W Impedance 8 ohms. Speakon input Titanium super tweeter More info here: Bass Centre: [url="http://www.basscentre.com/bass-cabs/ebs-212-proline-bass-cabinet.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/bass-cabs/ebs-21...ss-cabinet.html[/url] EBS website here (click on Products/Cabinets): [url="http://www.bass.se/"]http://www.bass.se/[/url] I have upgraded the cab from 400 to 600W with a pair of [i]brand new 300W Celestion neodymium drivers[/i]. The Celestions, which come with a manufacturer’s warranty, not only outperform the originals – they also weigh less and offer a more useable 8 ohms total impedance allowing you to add an additional cab at any time. Talk to me if you would prefer a 4 ohm cab or one with original spec drivers (for less money, of course). Sorry for the stock photo. The cab is in excellent condition with only the plastic corners showing signs of wear. I’ll try to get a picture up some time soon. I’d prefer collection for the time being, although I’ll deliver/meet anywhere within a half an hour’s drive from Dorchester. Although cash is king, I could be interested in swapping for a lightweight amp, Genz Benz, MarkBass or similar (but not Ashdown) or possibly a relatively light 4-string bass with a slim neck.

These are GREAT pickups. They are high output yet retain the tone of the Jazz Bass - something that passive hot pickups cannot do. Although the battery lasts for several years, the pickups can be used passively in an emergency; they are then a bit quieter than a normal Jazz pickup. If I had a Jazz I'd snap them up at this price, which is an amazing bargain.
