    For sale is my Ampeg Portaflex PF-500. 500w at 4 Ohm, 300w at 8 Ohm. I only bought this amp a couple of weeks ago of ebay for the asking price above but now surplice to requirements. In great condition, comes with aluminium case as pictured. Works fine, no issues. I used it last Tuesday night with my DR cab (for sale here) and performed superbly but with a new lightweight combo incoming its no longer needed. Can be collected from St Helens Merseyside of couriered (UK) for about £15 (any less I'll refund).

    I'm having a big rethink of my gear after a particularly bad episode with my back a couple of weeks ago and seriously downscaling size wise. First up is my DR Bass cab. Although its a lightweight Neo cab I'm opting for a single 12" solution and a possible extension cab in the near future. I bought this cab second hand last year and TBH I don't know a great deal about it. Made in the USA (not sure when), in very good condition and 600w at 4 ohms. It dose exactly what I'd expect from it. Sounds great with the heads I've used with it. Bright, clear and punchy. Collection from St Helens Merseyside or I can meet/deliver within reasonable distance at fuel costs.

    What cab did you use with it?
  4. bigthumb
    Oh bugger. If I was just 30 years younger I'd be all over this!

    First cab that always come to mind is the Genz-Benz Neo-X. 2x12 600w @ 4Ohms and lightweight. Probably one of the finest of the many cabs I've owned. You'd get one of these secondhand for well under £500. But theres probably many modern lightweight cabs that do an excellent job for that kind of money. Buy second hand though as £500 will get you a great cab.

    It was on offer at the time. I think the original asking price was £1200 but they'd probably accept less than that. One thing that was a bit of a let down was the pretty cheap gig bag it came with. For a bass of that cost you'd expect a bit better than that but at the end of the day its the bass that counts and it really is a lovely bass.

    If its a passive bass you want I got a brand new USA G&L Jazz Bass for just under a grand. Every bit as good as a Fender.

    I really wish I could get away with buying another bass as this ticks all the boxes but I'd be in big trouble if I did! I'm amazed that this is still for sale.

    And back up for sale 🙄

    Wow! That really is a lovely bass.

    I remember playing through one of the larger BFM cabs at a bass bash years ago and it was nothing less than phenomenal. I've played through a number of the smaller ones too which are equally impressive considering their size.

    You know, I haven't a clue! I'll let you know in the morning as I don't want to wake the boss who's had an early night. And it's 40mm

    Thanks Duncan, hope you're well mate 👍

    Trace amp heads are silly cheap and there are many lightweight quality cabs now. The Series 6 AH300 and the DR Bass Neo 2x12 together cost less than £500 which I consider fantastic value.

    Very good. I've owned the superb 2x12 NeoX, Focus cabs and an old 6x10 cab. All of which excellent.

    Bought a Rickenbacker (on ebay) from Brian, absolute top guy to deal with. Delays with delivery were acted on promptly and kept updated throughout. A very conscientious and trustworthy seller.

    And another quick hop across the Pennines to meet up with Dan again on a service station carpark. This time for a lovely Westone Thunder 1A bass. (What cracking little basses these are) Always extremely helpful, reliable and a great guy to deal with. Cheers! 👍

    Bump and now £825 inc UK postage

    I don't think I've ever heard anybody say that before! 😉 Always happy to meet half way mate.

    Price drop bump. £795 if collected!
  22. bigthumb
    If funds were to allow I'd buy this one as well, they really are so good. I'd have one strung with flats, one with rounds 😎

    I tried TI's on a Precision and they were not for me. The tension and gauge just didn't suit. And I guess I do 'dig in' when playing.

    Regrettably back up for sale. This is a 1995 bass and just wonderful in my humble opinion. The body is nicely off white and the fingerboard lovely and dark. The scratch plate is a replacement red tort that looks so much better than the white one it came with. The pups are stock but the loom has been replaced with a top KiOgon one. It's strung with a newish set of Labella flats and there a set of 45-105's in the case should you so desire. It has small chips, scratches but most notably the dink on the front just above the scratch plate. But apart from that its in nice nick for a 26 yo bass. Weight is roughly 9 lbs 4oz but thats according to the kitchen scales so it may be + - a bit. The bass comes with the Fender tweed case as pictured. Its well used but dose its job. £795 Collected from St Helens Merseyside. Can deliver/meat within reasonable distance or I can box it up should you want to arrange a courier. No trade offers thanks, bills to pay!

    Will be joining the club this week when my 4003 Mapleglo arrives. I'm assuming it has rounds on but I'd like flats. So what flats are recommended for a Rickenbacker? I like mid to high tension BTW.
