warwickhunt Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Not mine but a mate has a very good/mint condition LH500 for sale. I gave it a blast the other day and I was knocked out by the sound, at a fraction of the cost of my Thunderfunk it wasn't a kick in the backside off being as good! Have a trawl through Basschat, Talkbass, Harmony Central etc if you want an idea of what these are like, there's loads of good stuff being said about them. I can ask him to get pics if someone is interested but essentially it has a couple of small marks on the rack mounts but nothing to write home about. The price of £195 includes UK mainland delivery, if you are outside of Mainland UK give me a shout and I'll see what can be done. No trades or anything as he was intending joining a band but he's realised that it's more hassle than it is worth trying to do so... shame.

Conan Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 What price would he accept if it was collected in person? I assume he's in the North East too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's incredible! Who does that? I thought it was all done on weight, and some amps weigh an absolute TON! My Ampeg for example...

[/quote] 'Senditnow' or 'parcel2go' have a service which is actually £6.99/£7.99 for a parcel up to 30kg (so long as you are not talking silly dimensions i.e. a bass in a case is within limits) BUT insurance is only £150-£200 so it would be no good for something like a vintage Ampeg or expensive bass; insurance can be added but NOT on guitars! I used the same services to send a 27kg bass cab down the country and it arrived safe and sound. So a well packaged LH500 wouldn't be a problem; hence his offer of knocking off a fiver for someone collecting, which may be on the cards later this week due to a local ad.

Lycanthrope Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Bugger, I just ordered a new one this lunch-time, WTF didn't I look here first? :wub: Seems to be loads of amp for the money, the dude in the shop was adamant that it perfoms as well as other brands that are three times the price.

As for the band playing; not for a while as I'm rehearsing up with a new 6 piece band. I'll update you when either band is out next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
