6stringbassist Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I've been deliberating long and hard about this, and my other gear. I play in a jazz quartet, a jazz trio and trio with myself, a jazz guitarist and a female singer. So this is really over the top. I really fancy something lightweight, hifi yet warm, and easily transportable. This is in excellent condition, one or two light scratches on the top where its been in and out of racks, none of these actually go through the paint, they're more scuffs than anything else. The front of the unit is perfect. It will put out 900 watts per channel into 4 ohms, so it's pretty loud. I'd like as close to £950 as possible, they're close to £2000 now with the current exchange rate. Or trades welcome for a Markbass F1 or a UL502, 'cos I love the sound of the Epifani stuff, I just want something a tad smaller. Edited February 27, 2009 by 6stringbassist
chris_b Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I saw Laurence Cottle last month and he's using an EBS rig with a 2x12 cab. He sounded very good. I've seen reviews on Talkbass that rate the LM11 as louder, bassier and warmner than the Shuttle.
4000 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Oh if only this was a UL502....unfortunately it's probably a bit over the top for me too.

6stringbassist Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Trades also welcome for Acoustic Image gear, particularly the Focus 1 or a Bergantino IP12. Edited February 23, 2009 by 6stringbassist
Dood Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Good grief!! Would go very nicely with an Epifani UL610 ;O) - Can a single channel be run on it's own? Could prove to be a great upgrade to my F1.. hmmm!

Its size and its sound are just plain marvellous. I've yet to use it anywhere near its full volume, let alone with an additional cab. Mark

steve-soar Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Dan, you know you want this and it's nearly a grand cheaper than the Gallery. This is a totally amazing price for one of the best amps on the planet.
Dood Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah, i played the 502 into my UL610 at the Gallery.. very impressive.. so the 902 will be far better from a power perspective.
Martin_S Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Hey dood, if you want that big Amp, I will take your 502 . Greetings from Germany, martin

6stringbassist Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 Bump for a price cut. I spent a couple of hours with Mark at Bassdirect this afternoon, I've settled on getting a Markbass F1. As much as I love this head, it is total over kill for my needs, it also looks a tad daft sat on top of my new Bergantino 1x12.

6stringbassist Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 I'd also be interested in a trade for an Epifani 502, plus a bit of cash my way...anyone fancy trading their UL502 for its bigger brother ?.

How much are you talking about?
