  1. Bump for a v tasty bass....only wish I had enough cash
  2. 2EQ Black Ernie Ball USA Musicman Stingray with rosewood neck You know how good these are! Bass is in Derby/Nottingham and you are welcome to try before you buy. It has been set up by Xperience Guitars in Nottingham in November 2013 and plays beautifully. There is a chip on the back of the body, but it's not huge and not visible from front; otherwise the guitar is in excellent condition and full working order. The bass comes with a hard case, but it's not an original MM case. Ideally would like to trade this for a Sandberg JM4. Cash sale of the MusicMan considered too. Collection only from Derby or Nottingham; though if trading a meet in the middle may be possible. Photos to follow......
  3. Now sold to Cloff, who intends to alienate The Netherlands with this dangerous box of madness. Sanity can now resume in my household and dear old England will be able sleep safely at night again!
  4. I love Fender tone and still use a Silverface Bassman 135 for bass. I have a Blues Junior Tweed, with some v nice vintage tubes in it and swapped the horrible reissue Jensen C12N speaker out for an Emminence Cannabis Rex - the amp sounds quite nice now for guitar. I am not blown away by this amp though. Best guitar amp for Fender tone I have found so far is my MusicMan RD112sixtyfive. I upgraded the speaker to an OEM EV12ML, which is the same upgrade you could get from factory when new and this amp has come alive - it is wonderfully clean with all that sparkle. It takes pedals really well too.
  5. Depending on what you all mean by cheap; an original Yamaha SG1000 (or 1500 or 2000 or 3000) are very good value for a guitar that really is consistently better than 98% of Gibson Les Pauls. You can get a well-used and still-great '70s SG1000 for around £500 to £600, if you look hard and are patient. They are virtually indestructible and sound incredible.
  6. Hi Shep how you doing, long time no see, etc it's a freak of a pedal and loads of fun; I am actually v tempted to keep it, but it's never likely to be used in a band of mine. I am not really looking for trades; but if you never know.....shoot me, you might hit the bullseye! I'll PM you with my details
  7. I have an MIJ '54 Strat from the early '90s and it is a stunningly good instrument. It plays better than any other Strat I've tried; but I didn't rate the pups much either. They were USA Custom Shop '50s pups and original to the guitar. They were a bit too weak and lacked definition. After much research I settled on a new set of Lindy Fralin Hot Vintage pups with the base plate under the bridge pup, plus a rewire to allow the bridge pup to be included in all settings (via push/push pot for bridge pup tone control). The base plate under the bridge pup makes it sound fatter. These upgrades have retained all the classic sounds of a vintage Strat, plus they offer a hotter signal to push amp, and it throws in a Tele option via the rewired push/push switch. Above all, those over-wound Lindy Fralin pups are fatter sounding and offer much more definition than the standard USA Fender pups. I know this isn't a humbucker set up; but it definitely kicks out more fat heat when required and is a good way of retaining the original character of a great guitar that is already considered a classic by many.
  8. Hi I am selling this custom Copilot pedal that I bought on here about 9 months ago. I always knew it wouldn't work for my musical projects, but couldn't resist owning it for a while for some sonic fun.....and this thing delivers in spades. It is basically an acid trip in a box! SOLD SOLD SOLD It is in fact two Copilot pedals in one...an Antenna and an Android. The Android is a nice ring modulator with some custom additions and the Antenna is a drone or tremelo lo-fi mess-up lunacy device; both sides of this pedal use carrier voltages. You can run each side on its own too. The jack sockets on the sides are for expression pedals to control both sides of the unit. I reckon these owuld be even more fun and add more musical possibilities. The nut/collar on one of the expression jack sockets doesn't fit well - I knew it was like this when I bought it. It doesn't really make much difference once you've put the jack in; but you might want to get a new collar for a few pennies, if you want to gig this pedal. I have added a map I made to try and make some sense of this much madness. NB. Warning though, this pedal will freak your dog/cat out. PM me with your email address and I will send you an mp4a demo of this Antdroid. I am asking the price I paid for it and am not really interested in trades or offers. You can do cash on collection from Nottingham for the £90 or I will courier it to you in UK for an extra £5. Payment by bank transfer is preferred if you want me to courier it.
  9. got my 501 too....looks just like yours, Mr Kiwi...in excellent condition mine has the original GEC KT77s and the Mazda pre-amp tubes too....luverly one like this went for £675 on eBay a few weeks ago!!
  10. still no wiser as to what this actually does......maybe I'm a bit thick! how can you emulate different speakers without any controls? Or if it is fixed to emulate one speaker at fixed tone/gain/volume, what is it trying to emulate? am I being thick?! more explanation please... thanks BN62
  11. sorry, just sold it. if it falls thru for any reason; I'll let you know
  12. Just scored an immaculate Burman 501 1x12 guitar combo that sounds better than anything I've ever heard and it's a heavy bugger. I would love to hear a Burman 4000 bass head and cab. I bet you could knock the Sun off its perch with one of those.
  13. If anyone wants this item couriered, PM with your postcode and I'll get you a quote. The cab is in Nottingham and it has casters too.
  14. I guess a specialist courier could ship it in same way as they do for antique furniture....covered in blankets and strapped to inside of van....
  15. Yes, that may be possible; but it's huge and heavy and not sure what i could wrap it in! So collection is massively preferred and recomended.
  16. Thanks for the kind comments and bump. I better clarify tho that £10 is cost to ship it in UK. I am asking £38 for the speaker.
  17. I cannot confirm the manufacturer of this speaker but it may be a Goodmans. It said so on the box it came in, but it doesn’t say anything on the speaker itself. It is certainly a very well made speaker designed for a clean tone and high power. The chassis is very thick and heavy cast aluminium and the magnet is huge. The whole speaker ways a ton! I have run it up to about 50w, I reckon it would go to 75w without much problem. I have measured the impedance and it is good for 8ohms. The speaker is in perfect working order and has no damage. It delivers a great clean tone with lots of definition and starts to break up nicely when you push it hard. For some reason I can't upload pics at moment. Please PM me with email address and I will email pics over.
  18. Jensen C12N classic American sounding 12" guitar speaker; great for Fender clean and rock tones. Rated at 50w and 8ohms. Nicely broken in and ready to go, in perfect working order. can be shipped from Nottingham for £10 or collected for free. Sold for £38 + shipping
  19. Original '70s Fender Bassman 2 x 15" cab, 4 ohms. This cab has been significantly improved from the stock cab, which tends to fart and project quite a loose flappy tone. This one has been rebuilt with all seams lined, glued and screwed with 1x2" wood and braced front panel to back with 2x4" wood. This means all seams are perfectly sealed and front back panels cannot flex; therefore much tighter and more defined tone and punch can be produced. I tried numerous fancy speakers like JBL, Celestion, etc and eventually found that a pair of tight bright Eminence drivers worked best to give a full, round and detailed tone. I can't remember which model speakers they were but they cost about £85 each some years ago. Paired with a Fender Bassman head this cab delivers tone to die for. I used a '70s silverface Bassman 135 and a '70s Music Man Stingray Bass and was regularly complimented on the bass sound at gigs. I reckon that a rig like this is a match for any out there if you want classic funk, soul or rock tones. I've done battle with an Ampeg SVT 8x10 rig with this lot too and while I didn't win for the loudest and dirtiest sound, I did win for the sweetest clearest and best defined tone. I finally found bass amp/tone heaven and now I am playing guitar rather than bass!! So this cab is up for sale to help build my guitar amp fund. This is only pic I have of my actual rig. The cab only is for sale and it is a vertically mounted 2x15 rather than diagonal mounted. Now sold for £300 to a hip young dude with excellent taste in Liverpool
  20. I still have my Bassman 135 and I reckon they are killer amps - they stay clean right to the top and are clear and warm with plenty of punch. If you want a bit of extra gain and grit in the sound, you can jump the two channels with a patch lead to run both sides of the pre-amp valves and it gets just as punchy as an Ampeg. Main problem I found was with getting the right speakers/cab. When I occasionally play bass these days I now use an old MusicMan 115RH loaded with a vintage RCF 15" 8ohm speaker which sounds fine; but the best tone I've got has been using the original 70s 2x15 Bassman cab. At first that 2x15 cab was horrible - it was too weak and farted a lot. Once I had rebuilt the cab with all seams lined, glued and screwed with 1x2" wood and braced front panel to back with 2x4" wood, the cab was strong as anything and no farts or rumbles, just heavier with super tight tone once I got the right speakers. I tried numerous fancy speakers and eventually found that a pair of tight bright Eminence drivers worked best to give a full, round and detailed tone. I can't remember which speaker models they were but they cost about £85 each some years ago. I finally found bass amp/tone heaven and now I am playing guitar rather than bass!! So this Bassman 2x15 cab will be making way for a guitar amp.
