Beedster Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) EDIT: Not really after cash as much as needing to find some space so I'd take trades on these. At present I'm after an acoustic bass or an old style Precision (51 or 53) copy. Anything you've consoidered though Cheers Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very recent acqisition from Neil B on here but superceded by an Xmas pressie Line 6 Lowdown 300 Pro. Powerful combo witth some good modelling into 1 x 15 and horn. 300W I believe. Portable and gig-able. RRP £479, to you £200 Loads of info and reviews online but here's the blurb from Line 6 LowDown™ LD300 Pro delivers five carefully crafted amp models that can take you from vintage punch to modern grind. You also get a critical set of effects that no bass player should be without. Once you create your own custom sound, you can save it into a preset using the channel memories on the front panel and instantly recall it anytime. FEATURES: 5 Incredible Bass Amp Models: Clean, R&B, Rock, Brit, and Grind 5 Essential Bass Effects: Synth, Compressor, Envelope Filter, Octaver, and Chorus Deep Switch With Special Tone Shaping for Supreme Fatness XLR Direct Out With Line 6’s exclusive A.I.R.™ processing 4 Programmable Channel Memories, 36 with FBV Shortboard™ Headphone Out Jam Along CD/MP3 1/8” Input Built-in Chromatic Tuner Footswitch Jack for FBV Express™ or FBV Shortboard™ 15” Speaker w/horn 300 Watts Dimensions: 89lbs, 18"L x 22"W x 30"H AMP MODELS: Clean Inspired by* the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need R&B Inspired by* a 1968 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60’s and early 70’s clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young James Jamerson. Rock This model is inspired by* the ’74 Ampeg® SVT®. This workhorse has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. And now all the tone of the 300-pound behemoth 8X10 and head is available in your combo! Brit Based on a ’68 Marshall® Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sound brought to us by late ‘60’s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who. Grind As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers, Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on* a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® in addition to a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that takes your sound to DEFCON 1. But that’s not all… Synth Sitting at the back of the model knob is this secret weapon that turns LowDown into a ’70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this synth model delivers incredible tones and tracks every dynamic move you make with ease! EFFECTS MODELS: Envelope filter Based on* a Q-Tron, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. This effect can be heard on tons of major funk and rock tunes. Octaver Based on* the EBS® OctaBass®, this effect produces a single note one octave below the pitch of the played note, adding a powerful new vibe to your sound. Chorus Based on* the much loved T.C. Electronic® Chorus. This is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus for bass ever built. Using it does not reduce your low end and it’s especially beautiful on fretless bass. Amazing Tone On Stage and In The Studio! The XLR Direct Output was designed for recording or sending your sound to a house sound system when you’re playing live. This output utilizes our exclusive A.I.R. processing which has made Line 6 products like POD® the undisputed standard for direct recording. Whether you’re playing a gig in a club or rushing off to a recording session, this POD based direct out will give you huge, mic’d amp tone everywhere you go! [attachment=4636:AUT_7954.JPG][attachment=4635:AUT_7952.JPG] Zoom 708II FX processor and drum machine. Great little unit, I've been using it mostly for the chorus on my fretless but it does shedloads of other stuff. Superceded by the same Xmas pressie that leads to the sale of the Lowdown above. Boxed with manual. Here's the blurb.... Zoom has combined a versatile live effects bass guitar processor with an easy-to-use drum machine, SmartMedia riff sampler and 69 new effects in the 708II. The 708II's onboard drum machine includes 60 preset rhythm patterns featuring high-quality PCM sounds. The internal sampler lets players record sounds for learning riffs and phrases. Playback speed can be reduced with or without affecting pitch and storage is available via a SmartMedia card. The system also has 69 Zoom bass guitar effects (9 simultaneously) including EQ, reverbs, delays, modulation effects and more. The 708II also features 33 amp modeling programs that emulate some of the world's most revered bass amps and cabinets. Designed for performance, the system features analog edit knobs for easy adjustment of effect parameters in real time. They can also be used as "Instant Edit" in Play mode for Distortion, Modulation and Reverb programs. A large LED display clearly shows all critical information on dark stages and other low light situations. The 708II's built-in expression pedal controls volume, wah and other effect parameters. Simple up/down footswitch operation allows easy access to patches and sampling functions. Other features include 120 patch memory locations (60 user and 60 preset). For convenience, the unit can be powered by four AA batteries or an optional AC adaptor. [attachment=4637:AUT_7962.JPG] RRP £150 To you, £45 posted Chris Edited January 19, 2008 by Beedster
Beedster Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Someone buy these please, I'm moving house in three weeks and I really really need the space Chris
queenofthedepths Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I'm guessing it's not gonna be easy to post the amp at all? I was planning to get one a while back but it was that or my 6-string...

Neil[/quote] LOL, one of the most stressful days of my life mate (and after my +20 phone calls, probably one of the most stressful of yours also ). Story of my life though, poor planning. About two days later I accepted a new job and am having to move into a rented place for six months or so. I originally bought the Lowdown as a practice amp to keep at the place we rehearse down here, all of which has kind of fallen through now. Shame, 'cos it's bloody lovely (that rare combination of power, quality sound and portability), but there's no point having an amp in a rehearsal room 150 miles away is there Cheers Chris

Consider me very interested. Only problem is, I'm living on a single tin of beans & tapwater until next week when I'll get paid - if you've still got it then, I'll 'ave it, I think. J.

Too bad. If anyone in Suffolk or Essex is interested in this stuff or Chris's cabs, I can pick it up for you. I'm expecting to be in Canterbury next week for the funeral of an old friend. Let me know via PM. awrabest, Pete

You'd of course be more than welcome at Beedster Towers for a cup of tea if you have time during your visit. By the way, I found the missing bit of the straplock from the Bass Collection if you still need it? Cheers Chris

Beedster Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 Final bump before ebay on these two. Lots of interest but no firm offers on the Lowdown. I'd be happy to hold from now until 18th Jan for a definite sale Chris

Heading to Bucks for 6 months then London in the Summer and for the foreseable future. Exciting times, although moving house does make you realise how many cabs and combos (and basses) one has acquired! Cheers Chris
