In 40-years of playing I've failed to learn from two recurring lessons:

 

• I don't get on with Jazz Basses no matter how beautiful they look, feel, and play
• I don't get on with lightweight gear, no matter how much I curse having to lug Mesa Diesel or Powerhouse cabs and assorted large tube amps to gigs and rehearsals

 

Now, there's nothing wrong with either Jazz Basses or lightweight gear of course, and this rig has actually been very useful following a sports injury in August - which made lugging gear, and even standing with a bass, a challenge, and stopped me playing upright completely for a few months - it enabled me to have a decent sounding yet lightweight option. 

 

But cut to today and I'm happily lifting Diesel cabs and 300w tube amps again, albeit probably with a little more caution than previously, and I'm moving this rig on accordingly. Both units were bought used but with relatively light use here on Basschat, and both are in very good condition. Gig bag and cover, as well as documents, are included. I've rehearsed it around 20 times and it doesn't even break a sweat keeping up with a pretty powerful drummer and a very very pokey guitarist. As a rig it has all of the plusses of the Walkabout Scout combo but is lighter and more powerful, with less tendency to get woolly at higher volumes. It's also designed to run at 2ohms (albeit via a selector switch on the rear). I've not really explored the EQ, HPF or damping options as it sounded so bloody good set flat, but there's a number of threads here and on Talkbass in which more knowledgable people than me get into the details of these

 

Ideally I'd prefer collection or handover in person (it's light enough for me to jump on a train to London with it, and with a bit of notice I could probably get elsewhere by car). Courier of courser remains an option albeit my least favourite.
