Ashdown CTM-30 Little Stubby 30-Watt all tube bass amp. Great sounding head that I've found to work great for practice, recording, and small gigs. This amp is in excellent condition and will be securely packed for safe shipping. If you're not familiar, this clip gives a good rundown...

In case anyone reading this is considering buying an Ampeg V4BH from the online site of a big guitar retailer (the amp is currently in Orem, UT), I thought some context would be helpful. I bought that amp 6 months (or so) ago, and when it arrived, the shipping box looked like it had been rolled...

Sale pending. Sold!

**SOLD** I bought this 2013 Gibson EB4 with the idea of modding it, but it plays and sounds so good I couldn't bring myself to replace anything, so I left it as I bought it. The bass weighs a comfortable 8.2 pounds. The push/pull pots (humbucking/single coil) and...

I've always had a thing for the 4000 series "S" basses, and this is the nicest one I've ever played. I don't want to part with it but I have to (expenses coming up that I can't put off). The discontinued Ruby Red color is stunning in person (and it makes the beautifully streaked fingerboard pop...

I may have answered this when it was first posted, but yes. At 14 or so I consciously chose bass because of Gene (he being my favorite person in my favorite band at the time), but I later realized I had been listening to bass lines since I was 3 and discovered my sisters' singles and albums. I...

Bob made and sold me the best two cabinets I ever owned. The 8-10 was line an Ampeg (separate compartments for each pair) with 6 CTS and 2 Altec speakers, with a crossover for the top pair. The other cabinet was a 4X12 folded horn configuration. They were a thunderous pair.

I'm having heart palpitations! Beautiful bird, my friend.

Can anyone explain the DI outs on the PF50T for me? I thought with one being pre amp out and the other being power amp out that the master volume wouldn't impact the pre DI out, but mine does. Even with no cabinet plugged in, if my master volume is turned down, I get nothing from my preamp out...

I found this V4BH on the GC website two weeks ago. It looked almost mint (one tolex issue top left) and the price wasn't bad, so I ordered it. It arrived in an oversized box having been packed on it's right side (handle down) with a few balls of butcher paper thrown in the box for padding. It...

So I plugged it in and had it on 5; not super loud for a V4BH but loud enough to get a little grunt. I immediately heard what sounded like a torn speaker. Any volume past 2 or so and it was there. I know the cabinet is fine but to be sure I plugged in my Road 440B and cranked it up. Sounded...

I found a really clean V4BH on GC's website. The price was fair so I took a chance. It took almost a week to get a working tracking number (they never sent a shipping confirmation email and gave me the wrong number when I called). I took that as a bad omen and sure enough, they'd packed the head...

My son picked this one as his first bass, after playing 20-25 other basses (mostly fretted). I was really impressed with this model. I think I paid around $300 for his a couple years ago. I'm not sure why this one is discounted so much ($279), but at this price you wouldn't be risking much and...

It's a really nice sounding amp. My first amp was the same model, bought around 1981. I sold it a few years later. I'd been thinking about it recently and wondering if it sounded as good as I remembered, so when this one popped up, I grabbed it and found that I remembered correctly. I believe...

Thank you! I've kinda gone overboard in searching for the exact amps I wanted the past couple years. I blame this place!
