Rob's a nice bloke, I've been in the same building as this bass, gutted I didn't get a go hehe. Good luck with the sale mate, wish I had the money, I love my Thumb.

Thanks guys, I feel happier knowing that I'm sticking with GK, whether or not I can work anything out with them. This morning when I got up I felt more apprehensive about giving up the GK rig than I did about turning down the Warwick endorsement so that made my choice for me. Can't even believe I thought about selling the best rig I've ever used (never mind owned). And thanks Chris, appreciate the help.

Withdrawn, as much as I want to accept the endorsement, after thinking for a couple of days, I'm not prepared to give up the best rig I've ever used to buy a cheaper rig I've never even tried. If I get a Warwick rig, it'll be paid for without money from this being involved.

Fair point, can't hurt to ask them I guess.

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's a bit cheap to be honest hehe, but it's up now. There's still potential for this to get pulled, I'm perfectly happy with this rig, it's just an ego thing and to look good to accept the endorsement. I don't think the amp I'd get will be any better or worse on the whole of it. I'll be losing a bit of money, but hey, you only live once. I'll also be very open to selling just one of the cabs for £350. I'll spill the beans on who it is when it's all 100%. It's a definite offer, but I'm not 100% I want to accept it yet.

Thanks. Just had a reply from the potential endorser, so this sale's definitely on now. I'll get up some pics ASAP, but this whole stack looks great, there's some scuffing if you look closely at the corners of the cabs, a mark on the back of one and a slight bent bit of metal and a scratch on the back of the head (which you can't see once it's racked) but it's otherwise perfect. The plastic's only been off one of the cabs about 2 weeks. I even still have all the boxes (complete with all the cellophane and polystyrene) if you want them too. Just to give you an idea of what it looks like, here's a pic from when I'd just had it delivered. Obviously there's another cab now and I'm not including the tuner or the rack in the sale.

[/quote] Yeah (unless you're massively famous), it's heavily discounted though. To be honest I don't really know the details of this one (except the discount amount) which is why this is only a feeler. Once I find out more, this'll either be a FS thread or I'll take them down. Hopefully the former.

This is all less than 6 months old, it's been gigged fairly heavily for the amount of time I've had it but it's just scuffed and it all still works perfectly and sounds awesome. Frankly if it wasn't for upgrading to bigger, louder stuffs, I'd never dream of getting rid of it. I'd be looking for £350 each. I'll get up pics in the next few days, these work perfectly though. There's a few scuffs to the corners of the cabs and one has a slight red mark on the rear panel where I caught it with a car boot. The head's slightly bent on one of the bits of metal that protrudes past the main body of the head, the paint's completely undamaged though so I'm assuming it's a manufacturing fault. This is all less than 5 months old, one of the cabs is about 4 and the other's about 2. The head's slightly older. All were bought from new. Sounds absolutely stunning. I've regularly gigged with just one cab but I got the 2nd for more projection at bigger gigs and so I could feel confident with other bands using it (just one of the 2x10s does struggle a little at loud gigging volume, but I've used it in large halls with no problems and no PA, I just felt a bit on edge because I worry about stuff like that). This is basically a compact stack from their Artist range, if you look on their website you can see the other people that use a similar set up, including their main endorsers (Flea uses a 2001RB-II into 2 410RBH cabs instead of the 700RB-II into 2 210RBHs). As you'll see from the pics, it's quite scuffed (been gigged heavily and put down lots whilst loading/unloading on concrete) but it's still in good condition overall. It wasn't all plugged in when I took the pics, but I have the kettle lead and 2 4 pin speakons (the speakons came with the stack, I have all my kettle leads stuffed together in a bag, the original is one of them hehe).

Back from the dead bump with everything back for sale as I was let down on the Ed and CEB.

This is now on the 'bay. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320551002738&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url]

Up to the top, want a quick sale on this so will look at any offers. Still potentially open to trades (maybe with cash from me towards a nice Jazz) but I'd rather cash.

Bumpity

Bumpity uppity. There's a few good basses floating around this FS section so I'm eager to get rid of this.

Ok, this thing's great, been my main amp for almost 10 years of gigging, never had any problems with it apart from a power transformer going a few years back and the volume pot is currently in need of a re-solder (it works perfectly with that held still with gaffa tape). I will take some photos of it soon, but it basically looks like this (but is a little bigger): Considering that it's almost 10 years old and it's been heavily gigged, it doesn't have any serious signs of ageing, the carpet is a bit flattened and fluffy but there's no severe rips. Likewise the corners are scuffed but there's no dents and all the corner protectors are there. I will sort out the soldering (I don't have a soldering iron, but I'm in work tomorrow and I'll try and remember to take it down there.) These amps got replaced not long after I picked this up with the newer models which didn't get such good reviews and looked (IMO) cheaper and plastic, this is the older version with the black grille and knobs, so it's quite hard to find details on them. From what I remember these had the Celestion in them (which was the main reason for the big change in appearance when Carlsbro stopped working with Celestion) I might be wrong on that though. This is 150w amp into a 15" speaker but make no mistakes it's loud. It puts my 320w GK to shame when I'm only using it through a single 210RBH (which aren't quiet amps). Because it's so reliable I've never had problems lending it out, I once was chatting to a soundguy at a gig when the support band was using it and he removed the bass from the mix then put it back, there was almost no difference at all and it wasn't even cranked. For anyone wanting to buy a gigging amp on a budget, this would be perfect for you. Looking at £150 to take it away.
