rafael_bassplayer Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 [quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='1367831' date='Sep 9 2011, 04:36 PM']I have to say it's the best bass amp I've ever heard, amazingly lovely rounded, punchy sound with that unmistakeable tube clank and grind that can't be faked. I literally bought this amp today, I've dreamed of trying one of these for ages. So, why the rush to sell it on again so soon? I play guitar in a 2-piece band and I have an unusual biamped rig involving a guitar amp on one side and a bass fuzz and POG into bass amp on the other side. The current amp in that setup is a solid state job - nothing special for bass, but it works really well in my guitar rig because I hit it with a lot of boosted bass freqs and fuzz and because it's SS, it holds together well. I was hoping the AD200B would be even better, but sadly it just doesn't sound right in my rig. It doesn't take the extra bass and fuzz so well. I asked the seller if he'd take it back but he said he wasn't up for that, so I have to sell it on and recoup my money! It's in really great condition with a nice padded Silverstone cover. I'll take £750 for it which I feel is a very fair price for these having had a look at what they've sold for previously on here, plus postage to cover insured delivery if you insist, though I'd obviously rather meet up (I'm down in Devon). If nobody's interested it won't pain me too much to keep it for when I do grab my bass, as it is truly a thing of beauty [/quote] i want it >.< i want it ...................bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianmmxi Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I play in a band based in aberdeen, scotland. I am very interested in this head and if we could work something out in regards to delivery i could take it off your hands as soon as. Great amp great deal!

I think we're probably a lot heavier than the White Stripes, I've never been a huge fan of their music, though I do admire them for being very savvy. Obviously being a girl on drums and a guy on guitar is always going to invite those kind of comparisons though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Norm[/quote] OK Norm, definitely will do - having just had couriers damage an amp I sent in the post to a forumite on here despite over-packing it, I'm not really willing to take that risk again with the AD200B - it's too valuable!

Bankai Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I just shipped an Ampeg head using Paisley Shipping. Companies like parcelfarce etc. have an exception in their insurance/liability that says musical amplifiers aren't covered at all, even if it gets smashed to pieces. In fact, I never found a single company that didn't have that rule. Which kind of makes it a bit lucrative sending amps with them as the moment something goes wrong, even if they're to blame, there's nothing you can do. That was until I found Paisley. They have a list of items that are excluded from insurance/liability. But amps aren't one. They'll cover it fully insured, door to door. And next day delivery will cost less than £20 for your AD200. A massive recommendation for them, to anybody wanting to send an amp head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chat Noir Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks for the info Bankai! Fortunately ashokan23 was a trooper and drove down from Cardiff to get this deal done, but I'll definitely bear that courier in mind for future sending of amps. Hope the AD200B works out for you Marc, was great to meet you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
