SkinnyMike Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) This is quite a cracking amp, however after parting with my Gallien Krueger im actually starting to regret it slightly as this head gives a much more 'mellow' tone rather than the ridiculously punchy punk type of tone I was so used too. I did try to like this as much as my old GK, I really did, but it looks like im going to go back to GK after all... The valve preamp is very nice and when pushed you can get a nice warm overdriven sound when cranked to the full! mmmm Iv just had it fully serviced from Rock bottom in Croydon, and so its in optimum working condition. Condition wise it's in very good condition except for a few scuffs due to being kept in a rack case and is also very slightly worn on the rack ears from being in a rack case for such a long time. Other than that it looks superb. For all the specs take a look at this site ---> [url="http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/products.php?mode=tech&id=23"]Hughes & Kettner basebass 600[/url] Looking for £600 posted Thanks and hope to hear from you Mike Edited April 8, 2009 by the_house123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pointer but you'll be better off putting this in the 'SALE' section rather than 'WANTED'. A Mod will move it for you if you PM them.

TheButler Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hmmm... do i want my old amp back..? I don't, but i do miss it! Needless to say i'm back on the market, looking for something different though, prolly a GK haha. I'm just going to add my word, this really is an awesome amp and if you're wanting that mellow tone, then you'd be hard pushed to find something better than this for the price! I thought it would only be the correct thing to do (reply that is) seen as Warwickhunt (who owned this before me) has already posted in here Good luck with the sale!

Small world. There are a few times I've considered getting this back as I always liked the tone of the H&K BassBase series. I'll add my luck to Jamie's and this should go soon.

fede162162 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Guys, IMHO, this is one of the greatest amps ever produced, and I've dreamt about it for years when I was in Italy (where i have a car..now I need to have a 25kg whole rig). There was a friend of mine who has been using this head for some years, and there was this bass player: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e7vN1c6EBs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e7vN1c6EBs[/url] (Dario Deidda,from Salerno,near the famous Sorrento) who would call my friend 2 times per month asking him if he would sell him the head! My friend still has the Bass Base, and Deidda is Endorser for Epifani Give it a try, is pure warmness! ps,, who did use to say that the miller jazz bass lacks in mid frequencies? I love Deidda!! =D Edited March 28, 2009 by fede162162 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
