What about a pair of 15”s?

First thing that comes to mind are the Markbass cabs. I'd have thought they would be ideal being within your price range, new and delivered. There's never a long wait for a top second hand cab to be listed here but it's probably going to have to be posted due to your location, unless you like driving!

Equipment failures - always the worst time!
bigthumb replied to Jakester's topic in General Discussion
The only failure I can recall at a gig was when my Ampeg SVT Pro4 went bang many years ago during a sound check. Thankfully I had an Ashdown ABM as backup which saved my bacon. I had a Markbass head go bang at a rehearsal, only the second time I used it as well! Ampeg was repaired but no such luck with the Markbass. -
I can't believe these have not sold. -

I had to take about 5 months off playing bass about 12 years ago because I pretty much had to sell everything I owned. Eventually I managed to buy a cheep Yamaha and play without an amp and slowly got back into it. But it took a while to get back to where I was before that.

TKS 1126 8ohm 450w Cabinet £230. **** ON HOLD ****
bigthumb posted a topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Up for sale is my excellent 450W TKS 1126 cab. Just an outstanding little cab loaded with Ceramic 12” 6” speakers and HF. Great sounding full range cab that cuts through with the 6” midrange. I’ve used this at rehearsals and a few pub gigs and it’s handled everything perfectly. Although it’s only 15Kg I’m moving over to the Markbass Energy cabs which are ridiculously lightweight as I’ll be struggling to carry anything around for a long while yet due to my recent injury. Good overall condition. There’s a few little nicks to the vinyl covering here and there and marks to the front grill but nothing nasty. All in all a top notch, powerful and tidy little cab. Collection obviously preferred from Merseyside where it can be viewed and tested. Can meet up within reasonable distance. -
Reluctantly putting my Reidmar 752 up for sale. Terrifically powerful 2 Ohm amp which has performed excellently for me. Only selling as I simply need the funds and I can use one of my other less valuable amps in the band. Also, I don't now need the 2 Ohm option as I'm only using one 8 Ohm cab these days. Excellent condition. Surface marks to the top of the amp have been removed. No dents or chips and everything works fine. £360 including UK postage. Happy to knock off that if collected. Input Impedance 1 Mohms / 100 pF Gain Range -00 - +30 dB Character Filter Shelving, High/Low Pass, +7 dB @ 40 Hz, -2 dB @ 800 Hz,+3 dB @ 10 kHz Tone Controls, Bass Shelving +/-18 dB @ 60 Hz Mid Bandpass Filter 100 – 6000 Hz +/- 12-15 dB Treble Shelving +/-18 dB @ 6 kHz Bright Shelving +15/-0 dB @ 10 kHz Drive min/max 0/34 dB Balanced Output -10 dBv, Pre/Post EQ, GND Lift Remotes Output Remote Jack RING = Mute / TIP = Drive Filter Jack RING = Filter Mode / TIP = Character Output Power 750 W RMS @ 2 ohms load (450 W RMS @ 4 ohm, 230 W RMS @ 8 ohm) Dimensions (WxDxH) 36.3 x 26.2 x 7.6 cm (14.3 x 10.3 x 3.0") Weight 3.8 kg (8.3 lbs.)-

I've been caught out on badly lit stages using basses with tiny side dots. Certain songs required a lot of moving around the neck and these would have saved a lot of bum notes!
-
That's a great buy! 😎

No it isn't. 😜 However, the alnico pups in my non reverse Thunderbirds do sound brighter than the ceramic ones in my standard Tbird but there's probably other factors as well which make for a different tone. I was thinking about changing the pickups but opted for the cheeper option of turning the treble up on the amp! Seems to have done the trick.

Tell Us About The New Years Eve Gig Your Band Is Playing This Year
bigthumb replied to Bluewine's topic in General Discussion
Will be playing a pub in Warrington for the forth time. There's been trouble a couple of the times we've played there. Table pushed over, glasses smashed, blood, tears, police etc. The singer is a tough bloke who can look after himself but that still didn't stop some Richard head fancying a pop at him. So we're expecting a 'fun' night! -
They certainly look better than the Hipshot bridge in my opinion but both being a vast improvement over the 3 point. I put a Hipshot on a Thunderbird and even with my clumsy efforts, I managed to get a much better setup. I'm muling over putting one on my Ripper but I'm wanting to keep it original and to be fair, it plays really well as it is. But those JC's are lovely!

A really handy little amp what with the tuner. I've only used mine for home use with the 1x10 cab but yeah, nice tones and the comp is great. Plenty loud enough to drown out the neighbours shouting and screaming! I'll be taking it to the NYE gig as a back up but now as the band is rehearsing in a much smaller room, I might leave the EBS at home.

Price drop bump.
