CamdenRob Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Popped back to my folks last night and It turns out my old amp and cab from years ago was about to be thrown in the skip... So if you can pick it up it's yours... My folks live in Coggeshall, just of the A120 near Colchester CO6 1QG. If you could pick it up next week sometime that would be great. It all worked last time I used it (about seven years ago), I don't have any cables etc. to test it but I'm sure it's all fine. 300watt head and 400watt 8 ohm 4x10 cab. Sounds good from what I remember but it's damn heavy.... I'm away until Monday so I'll have to wait until then to reply to any PMs. Please can this go to someone who needs an amp and not someone who is going to put it on ebay.....

itsmedunc Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 What a nice gesture! Hats off to that man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Really good to see this generosity, it'd be great for the amp and cab to go to a new player or maybe some type of musicians' collective (I used to be involved with one some years ago and we ran gigs a couple of times every week at the height of our powers). Well done that man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ape Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Ah man I'd kill for a cheap/free bass amp right now, had to sell mine due to lack of funds and now having to use the PC :-( too far away though, hope someone makes use of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hmm... Still a bit pricey if you ask me... Seriously though - brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 A friend of mine has started playing again after years off - I'll pass this on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Please let this go to someone who needs it and has contributed positively to this community! Very generous of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Fantastic piece of generosity and extremely gutting that I live so far away. Playing without an amp/rig for almost 4 years hasn't done my playing any good! Edited April 20, 2014 by Cameronj279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Shame we can't sort out some sort of 'Rig Relay' betwixt Colchester and the Frozen North... ...or can we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thats a real top notch gesture. I'm sure someone who is struggling in these tough times will really appreciate it Just a thought! Anyone who ends up taking this great looking bit of kit makes a donation to the OP's favourite charity or to Basschat however small every little helps. Big respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Guys, some lovely comments on here . My folks have got fed up with it being in their house, apparentely a large bass amp isn't much of a feature.... I beg to differ... The amp is going next week to a man who needs an amp I've have lots of PMs and It seems there are several people out there in BC land dedicating some of there time to setting up facilities for young bands to get started rehearsing etc... all a bit far away to benfit from this amp but still... BC is definitely doing it's bit and maybe a thread somewhere with the details of these initiatives would be a good read. Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
