  1. Past hour
  2. They most certainly are. Unfortunately i used the box to send out some other older TI's i had.
  3. Does indeed
  4. I’ve got someone who is helping me via DM. I have almost taken it apart now so I can see the tracks underneath, but yeah you’re right that’s a primary circuit relay, no idea what it’s doing there but when I can see the layout it’ll make more sense. Checked the only thermistor I can find on the board and that’s working fine, it’s attached to a transistor in (I think) the input stage which isn’t bolted to the heating. Got some other things to check too. Grr I hate these sorts of circuits. Wish I still had all my electrical testing stuff I had when I was much younger (and I could remember anything that was taught me! It’s fun to try and relearn it all though).
  5. I've never seen those double dot markers on anything before. Apart from that, looks very MIJ to my untutored eye.
  6. Marble Baby - Buddy Holly
  7. Long time Steinberger user here. The issue with the strap pivot plate is no so much the “boomerang” (plate) itself, but the furniture. The thrust washer and strap buttons. Theres a guy here in Ireland can make both for you. That Finnish chap mentioned made me a plate years ago. Grand job, still have it. Filling the strap button holes is simple enough. You just need a can of gel coat and some fine sand paper. that’s a nice bass for someone.
  8. I guess I won’t be buying it as a spare then! Ha.
  9. You Take Me For Granite — Betty Davis
  10.

  11. Don’t think so, personally id pay that if I had the time to fit and learn
  12. All About That Basalt - Meghan Trainor
  13. There's always tea, good tea, lots of tea, we like tea.....
  14. There is also a difference between single driver and multi-driver cabinets because the 4 ohm version of a driver is usually a little less efficient than the 8 ohm version. Usually the difference is roughly a dB or so but sometimes it can be as much as 3 or 4dB which means that the 8 ohm driver is now louder than the 4 ohm driver. In multi-driver cabinets, it depends on the impedance of the individual driver rather than the grouping.
  15. At this point, with the incorrect assumptions already made, you might just want to leave it alone before you really break it! No way is that a fan relay, it's a freekin' 10A/5A G5 series relay that's safety approved for use in primary circuits. It's one of 3 things... a soft start disengagement relay, a remote power-up relay or an output muting relay.
  16. Plays beautifully, nice low action. Unfortunately the preamp died and Sire where unwilling to sell me a replacement as it wasnt under warranty and they dont sell parts to the public, so Ive wired the bass passive 2 volumes and a tone control - no need for batteries anymore The Sire pickups sound amazing passive and have a real vintage feel, adding the 2 pickups together gives a more modern sound, I think you will struggle to find a better bass for £200, the quality and build are excellent, its up there with my USA Fender bass in both sound and playability but for a fraction of the cost.
  17. Today
  18. Pickups sold, last few bits left, will do a good deal if you buy a few.
  19. Does anyone else find the tuner doesn't recognise anything lower than E? Really annoying when I have to play in drop D quite a lot, or tune my 5 string bass.
  20. It's very playable, I haven't put it down all week. I was going to put flats on straight away but I'm liking the growl with the stock rounds (D'Addarios). Definitely not just an oldskool wannabe. Go Nigel go! 😁
  21. Well, I now find myself in the weird position of being the conductor of a decent town brass band and I take the rehearsals on Wednesday evenings... Main things I'm working on are improving dynamics to make greater differentiation between pp and ff, plus some articulation issues. There's a lot of gigs coming up over the summer.
  22. I Am A Rock - Paul Simon
  23. It's got a lot of Ricky Capri vibe going on hasn't it. Also reminds of the Shaftsbury bass that looked very Rickenbacker.
  24. I try to be as accommodating as possible for collections and meet ups. Makes the world go around!
  25. I haven't used it through an amp or PA yet, just at home with headphones so far. I haven't noticed any unwanted noise through headphones at home from the pickup, usually worse with household electrics, dimmer switches etc, so fingers crossed it'll be fine. As for feedback it'll be used in addition to a doublebass on gigs, if there's going to be feedback issues, it'll be with the doublebass. All my gigs for years have been everything through the PA so never any feedback issues anyway.
  26. Added, there isn't a mark on it, seems lightly used.
