Bought August 2013 as a replacement to the Matamp equipment I had stolen. Used on about 5 gigs since then, recently serviced.

This is just a monster rig, I call it the Ferrari I drive at the weekend, simply the best bass (IMHO) tone you're ever going to hear (and really feel)

My requirements have changed so much since I commissioned this and since I still don't drive I've been going to gigs with a gig bag and my iPad. Also if I'm brutally honest, it reminds me so much of what I had stolen that I feel a bit like I can't move on, so on the upside somewhere out there there is still a Bass 200, GT200 MK1 and a matching 4x10 out there that one day might turn up and you can have the most insane rig ever :D

GT200 MK2
Customised with:
EQ and Presence controls mounted on the inside for the ultimate in set and forget
Power switch replaced with a key (comes with 4 keys incase you feel like loosing some)
Matching Red Basketweave Tolex
Loaded with Gold Lion KT88s

Matamp 8x10
2400w 4ohm mono 2 x 8ohm stereo (splits cabs to effectively 2 x 4x10 so if you want you can use 2 heads)
Eminence (I Believe) loaded
Ferrite speakers (No namby pamby Neos here)
Includes a tatty slip case
Kickplate and stainless steel towelbar
Laser cut stainless steel grills

Matamp have previously quoted me around £100 to put the controls back on the front and replace the faceplate, this has been considered in my pricing, so no offers or low balls

New price on all this if you can even convince Jeff to make this (he doesn't do 8x10's anymore) would be around £3200 with the key switch.

If someone takes the 8x10 first then I'll split but as I'm aiming to go ampless or just use my B-15 where required I don't want to end up with loads of cabs (Still considering my options though)

If someone is interested in all the above I also have a Matamp Neo 2x12 (weights 19kgs) in the same red basketweave that I'd let go for an additional £450

I would consider the following for trades (though will mean I will keep the neo 2x12)
Vintage Fenders
Mesa Buster 1x15 combo
Mesa Walkabout 1x12 or 1x15 combo
Aguilar TH350 or TH500
Ampeg B-15r (90's Reissue)
Maybe a decent double bass?
REDDI
Berg IP112
Ashdown Little Bastard Head or Fliptop combo

Proper Old Testement that. I saw the trailer for Exodus: Gods & Kings yesterday and is wasn't anywhere near as epic as that rig. Loving the key. Might get one on my MJW 200 watt build if it's not to late.

It's a standard gt200 mk2 case but made of the lighter wood so it's only 23kgs and with the side handles it makes it very easy to carry

hmm... tempted to get mine re-housed now.

Internals, it's everything you would expect from Matamp

You can see here the holes so the pots can be moved to the front panel
