    Ooo! That will make sanding the edges even easier!

    I just put a normal set on mine(45-105), zero hassles because of the wide capstans not putting an unsustainable strain on the windings.

    This is going to be an interesting topic! So is the brief that you like everything about your Ampeg SVT212 except the weight?

    Something different, a Hermeto Pascoal tune called 'Sempre Feliz' from the the 1986 album, 'Brasil, Universo'. The bass player is Itibere Swarg. Some nice Brazilian stuff but not nearly as crippling as it sounds! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/sempre-feliz-hermeto-pascoal/

    Awesome bass, I really hope you enjoy it

    The knobs in the control plate look badly spaced to me

    Just heard this on the radio, great old one and I’m pretty sure Robbie Shakespeare on bass

    Having shipped my Head of Doom back to Ashdown I received a call today from the legend who is Dave Green. Turns out she’d popped a capacitor which he has replaced along with its sister, and she is now winging her way back to me, and should be here on Monday. Amazing service again from the Ashdown team.

  21. BassAdder60
    Assuming you’re just looking for stage volume and it’s mostly di out to a large PA rig then a decent 210 cab would suffice Rumble cabs tend to fart out when pushed and I’m not too sure they would handle the low B that well But they are reasonably priced If you don’t mind heavy gear then the Ampeg SVT 212 AV is a great single use cab and sounds similar to 610 and 810 Ampeg cabs. A decent 500w head should be fine, Darkglass are very good but so many others to consider and if you need drive just run a boss ODB3 in front or Spark Booster job done Amp Brands to choose Ashdown Ampeg Laney Aguilar ToneHammer Make sure they have a DI output Ive always found the best sound comes from heavier gear but some lightweight gear is a close second these days or some would say as good as especially the top end priced cabs Dont cheap out on cabs as they are more important than amps in many cases

    That's great, just what I needed to know, thank you... Or not as it's back on the shopping list now

    This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers

    Got this in a trade on here recently but it’s just not got much use. Between the green Russian and the grey stache that I own I have my fuzz needs covered. This one is two big muffs running in parallel, one of them has a standard tone control, the other has a mid boost/cut. Certainly a lot to play with and a lot of sounds to be gotten out of it! No original box with this but will be packaged securely. Price will include postage in the UK

    I have a U5, and like you was concerned about the ‘digging in the arm’ effect of the bound body. Happy to say that there is a small amount of contouring on the body to ease this - see pic below. I’ve used mine without experiencing any problems. ( Mine is a natural / orangey tinted version, probably a couple of years old.)

    it's such a crap thing to have happen ... hope they can sort your bass pronto

    I've always played Fenders / Squiers, but equally have always had a fascination for Thunderbirds (blame it on Nigel Mogg, Pete Way and Leon Wilkeson), so when this one appeared in the pre-owned stock at @Bass Direct my interest was piqued. As we were away at the time, I decided to leave it until we got home, and see if it was still available then. It was, so... 🤷‍♂️ It actually arrived yesterday, and I spent a pleasant afternoon swapping the strings to my preferred TI flats, tweaking the setup and intonation slightly, and trying to get used to the, erm, somewhat different ergonomics... 😂 Not had chance to run it though an amp yet, but it sounds wonderful through the Tascam bass trainer + headphones, so looking forward to giving it a proper run out at rehearsal next week. Then I just need to persuade the rest of the band to adopt a new country-goth direction...... 😎

    it depends how tall it is I suppose
  31. DS287
    Thanks all. I have taken some legal advice via my insurer and also been in touch with the importer/distributor who has been quite helpful. Hopefully I can get this resolved and my lovely bass fully repaired.

    Good advice about the cabs, thanks - I think you're right - two of the same makes more sense

    Whereabouts in Warwickshire ?

    You could go for this shape

    OK a bit of a recap. on our discusion so far. This is the cab Martin wants to copy but he won't use the horn driver so we are leaving that out. I suggested that he would be better with a taller cab and putting the two 12" drivers in line to improve dispersion and the audibility on stage. Anyway this is the cab we are 'copying'
