cameltoe Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Hi, I love this amp to pieces. It sounds amazing, and is a great introduction to the world of valves. I've decided to possibly move it on, as I can only really use it at smaller gigs, where it's coped well, but I'm trying to cut down on the amount of gear I own and settle on a standard set-up I can use for every gig. This is one of the first 100, UK Hand-made Little Bastards, and comes with a hand signed document from Dave Green and Mark Gooday. As you know, the cheaper Chinese factory made versions are not on sale yet, but are priced at £400 on pre-order. The only UK one I can find for sale online is priced at £475 + P&P I've used it for recording and 3 gigs and it really sounds amazing. Classic valve punch. Will break up very easily and give a wonderful valvey grind. It's in very good condition. Tradewise I'm hoping for a direct swap for an interesting P bass (Tokai, Jap Fender or Squier), G&L L-2000 etc, possibly Hoppus P bass. Or I'll add other gear to trade off for a US Precision or MM Stingray. I've got a Classic Vibe Squier 50's P bass I could throw in. I'll also consider a straight swap for an iphone, I really miss mine! I'm in Cornwall if you want to try it out. It's sitting on it's matching cab in the pic, which isn't for sale. pics: Edited October 22, 2010 by cameltoe
voxpop Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Have a bump on me ...................these amps are amazing, I cant believe no one has shown any interest.
Merton Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I'd have shown a hell of a lot of interest if i had any money!

cameltoe Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 I can only find one for sale on google shopping, currently £475 I'm not sure when the Chinese ones are due to arrive. I'm half tempted to hang on to it, if only for the fact the value could go up. Who knows.

There's [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-ASHDOWN-LITTLE-BASTARD-VALVE-BASS-HEAD-CAB-UK-/260652640527?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cb01ba90f"]No.26 with a 212[/url] on ebay for £839 so your's is a real bargain for someone who's got a cab already! Good luck with the sale but if I was you, I'd keep it Cheerz, John Edited October 26, 2010 by KiOgon
cameltoe Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 Yep it is a beaut, I really like it, but having just bought a house I really need to scale back my gear. It sounded awesome in some recordings we did earlier in the year, and I have managed to gig it at places where I would have normally taken my Trace 150w combo. Still here, so....
Merton Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Good luck! sk8 had trouble shifting his too... I guess lack of money is the key, like I said I'd have snapped this up with some moolah in my pocket... Edited October 20, 2010 by Merton
cameltoe Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 To the top. C'mon, I'm open for trades! No, not for that spongebob guitar you got for xmas.
Merton Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 iPhones? Hmmmm.... Got a useless (for me, wrong network and locked) 3G iPhone...
cameltoe Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 Is it stolen? What network is it? Why can't you get it unlocked?
Merton Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 O2; I had it unlocked to get onto my Orange sim but then accidentally updated to the latest software, for which there is currently no crack... It was my sister's, she now has the iPhone 4 so gave me the 3G
cameltoe Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 02, that's what I'm after. I could be interested, I'll have a think. How much are these worth second hand? If I go for it I don't want either of us short changed.
MythSte Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 A friend of mine just sold his second hand iPhone for £300 edit to say he had almost 40 offers in one day on gumtree! He had to take it down within 48 hours.
Merton Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Was that the 3G or 3GS? I suspect i'd be lucky to get £200 for mine but still checking!

Merton Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 CEX would give me £240. It's a no go methinks!
harmonator Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Is the amp still available? If nothing to trade, what kind of price are you looking for?
