LE_Gui Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) ***UPDATE 2012-12-15*** It's sold ********************************* Hi guys, just checking if it could get your attention from the other side of the pond since I live in southern France. The combo was barely used / transported, no bumps to declare. It only crackles when turning the volume pot (so not when playing !), otherwise, it performs brilliantly. If I weren't so f***ing broke, I'd keep it. I only used it for 3 gigs, never in rehearsals since I always played on the amps which were already there, or on the PA. Otherwise, it's only been played at home like once every 2 months (I pretty much always play unplugged when at home). How does it sound ? Well, here it is (check the youtube pages for the setup) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei6pY2j_xa0[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOzLBUngX7s[/media] [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/legui79/videos"]And more videos here[/url] And here, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnXh88pJV_s"]a buddy from our french forum Onlybass, playing my bass, my amp, on my couch[/url] The room was quite empty, so there was some reverb, but it was still the cleanest sounding of the amps during that bassday. For pics and other info, I made a huuuuuge review here : [url="http://forum.onlybass.com/index.php?/topic/32659-phil-jones-six-pak/"]http://forum.onlybas...-jones-six-pak/[/url] Or the same [url="http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.onlybass.com%2Findex.php%3F%2Ftopic%2F32659-phil-jones-six-pak%2F&act=url"]google translated version of the review[/url] The price : 1400€ (1166£ to today's exchange rates). You can send me a PM to contact me, we'll figure it out for the shipping I'd also be open for a trade with a little combo (ideally a Tech21 Landmark 120) + money. I'm not interested in another expensive combo since I need money first and foremost ! Thanks for your attention Cheers ! Edited December 15, 2012 by LE_Gui
LE_Gui Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 Well, people seem to be afraid of getting a great sounding amp !

LE_Gui Posted April 7, 2012 Author Posted April 7, 2012 And for those who would like a JB sound to have a better idea, here is an example of the amp with my beloved Yamaha SBV-J1 on that amp : [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnXh88pJV_s[/media]

bumnote Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 [size=2]I [size=3]have been using an m500 amp [the same amp section as this] with an 8x5 neo pjb cabinet for a year now, and after 40 odd years of bass playing its my favourite amp. The sounds once you get used to the multiple controls are excellent. It was used last sunday at the pipeline convention by 5 bands with a 4x5 extension over an 8 hour period and it didnt miss a heartbeat. It wasnt even hot. During the course of the afternoon the bass player in one band was so loud, he was taken out of the FOH completely and the bass still filled the room[/size][/size] [size=2][size=3]These are very underated amps [/size][/size]
LE_Gui Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Nice rig too ! Could you compare the neo speakers with the other PJBs ? I was afraid of those little speakers before buying but once tested with my Sandberg (the one in the first videos) tuned one step lower, it was like the combo didn't care how low you're tuned ! Sounding clean no matter what I wish I could have tried with PJB extension cabs, but with a 12" Ampeg cab added, it was a really good match. A bit more oomph like with classical setups, but still a lot of clarity Edited April 18, 2012 by LE_Gui
