    You will not find any service information for the amp, as with all major class D makes, Powersoft, Pascal and ICEPower do not publish any service information. The upside is the we, the users get a well engineerded power amp that saves on development time and keeps purchase prices low. The downside is that you cannot easily service them. Looking at the block diagram, the mute circuit is very early in the signal chan so it is likely that you power module is working. One small issue with this series is that the auxiliary supplies that power the preamp and signal balancing circuits are protected by fuses on the pcb. If there is a fault on the these lines you may get no output from the small signal circuits. These are hard to find and even harder to replace ( yes experience talking). In reality it really is a job for an amp tech, I am wary about advising on mains powered devices online.

    I’m a little puzzled as to how you experiment with braces once the cab is glued up, or are you just attaching the baffle with screws until you are ready to finalise the build? You caught me Because I am always tinkering, and these are always prototypes I always screw the baffle on so I can remove it to make modifications. You can fit side to side braces through the speaker cutout.

    Only that the original case was reported as scheduled in the Magistrates Court, disappeared, and the new notice is from the Crown Court. Join the dots.

    Didn't Leo Fender launch G&L who then made active and passive jazz and precision basses? So maybe it wasn't his intention that they should only be passive.

    Gotohs really are very good and some stock tuners just aren't, which is how they keep the price of basses competitive I guess. I've experienced a similar dilemma to you in the past and I try to avoid drilling if possible but have filled holes on headstocks with wooden cocktail sticks/toothpicks or shaved match stalks and superglued them in, then just cut them flat with a sharp knife. They set hard (possibly harder than the surrounding wood) so are a stable base on which you can drill new holes. It works even better if the new tuner base is bigger than the old one as it covers your handiwork up. You could always use a decent wood filler too but it's a little more difficult to get all the way into the holes left by the old screws. If it's super rare or valuable instrument I'd leave it to a pro though. Hope this helps.

    The trick the old music shops used to smarten up old gear was WD40, I've tried it on black vinyl and it does kind of work but I suspect it's more of a quick fix rather than a deep clean. I'd be trying out any solvents on a bit of the cab that didn't show however, most plastics are going to be Ok with most solvents but with older gear you don't really know what they've used. Theirs a hierarchy of solvents that retarers try working up from distilled water to soapy water, detergent , methylated spirits, isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and so on, Working on tiny areas with a cotton bud is good as you can see the dirt on the bud and make sure the fabric isn't being damaged. Once you are confident you can use the product you've settled on to clean the reat of the cab. Beware of too much water, old cabs might be made of chipboard or MDF both of which will swell and break down if they get wet, old vinyl won't be completely waterproof. Whisking up soapy water and just using foam is a thing and I've found 1001 Carpet Cleaner works well. Start slowly and take care, most gunk comes off in the end without using anything special. good Luck

    Yes, really good cab, wish I hadn't sold mine.

    They'd be too short for an extra long scale. Sorry.

    Wow this bass is stunning. It looks perfect and at that price it really seems like a brilliant deal. The sunburst finish, slim fast neck and active electronics make it sound like a joy to play. Really nice that the sale is going to charity as well.

    Black Fender P Player Bass with in beautiful condition. The Player series are a step up from the ordinary! Serial number MX18005295. June 2018 They say: There's nothing more classic than a Fender electric bass, and the Player Precision Bass is as authentic as it gets - genuine Fender style and the rumbling, seismic sound that spawned a thousand imitations. With its smooth playing feel and spotlight-ready style, this thunderous bass is ready to enter the studio or prowl the stage and help show the world your creative vision. It’s been well set up. The truss rod has been adjusted to give a nice low action and is very comfortable to play and has a great tone with a warm punch. The electrics have been sprayed with Contact Spray, so they work as they should with no nasty scratchy sounds from the pots. The frets have been levelled and polished and the intonation is spot on. The neck has been treated with lemon oil so it’s clean and ‘fed’. Free postage No case £550 Chaddesden, Derby DE21 4JJ All proceeds will go towards a charity for the homeless in Derby and a Home for street kids in Bogota, Colombia.

    What gauge do you use mate?
  20. Musicman666
    i think you might need to increase the gauge ..half my basses are tuned to standard d and they don't sound muddy but i do use heavier strings ...regular gauge would probably be too loose and floppy.
  21. Geek99
    Yes I’d put a smear of silicon under the tuner plate to hold it down i avoid drilling holes if possible

    Now down to 4 basses in my stable, two medium scale ACGs (below), a short scale ACG and short scale Conway Instruments fretless. Ever since Alan built me my first 32” bass back in 2014/5 it’s felt like “home”, and after several iterations as I played around with different shapes, woods and pickups, earlier this year he built me what I can only describe as the most perfect bass for me - the 5 string RetroB (see here). I’ve thoroughly enjoyed gigging her all summer and got to thinking how comfortable I find the RetroB shape both seated and standing, and how much I love the RFB pickup in the bridge position (essentially an ACG take on an MM). So I commissioned a 4 string version. It’s less exotic - no fancy top wood and accent veneer, no blocks in the board - but it’s scratched an itch I’ve had for years about having a black/maple bass whilst also giving me the shape and tones I am after. So these are my medium scale siblings now and I really can’t see anything making me want to change them.

    Some good advice on here 👍🏼 after singing and playing bass for 50 years, when I have a new song to learn it still takes me a LOT of practise time to nail it 😖 Bass line first. Got to have it perfected before moving on. Lyrics and phrasing next. Then the tricky bit 😆 I talk my way thru each phrase of a verse - whilst trying to marry the two up - then the same process, gradually working throughout the rest of the song. But as said many times on here, practise is the key 👍🏼

  27. dave74200
    Hi all, My current band is downtuning to D for the singer and my tone sounds shit. Really wooly and undefined. I'm using a Terror Bass and Ampeg 410hlf. Even with the bass rolled off it still sounds boomy. Is it the tuning? OK, I've had no setup and literally downtune before a rehearsal but it sounds bad!! Help!!

  30. Mokl started following Breaking collarbone in first learning period
  31. Mokl
    Good luck with the surgery. I broke my collarbone some years back after face-planting off my mountain bike! I am also the veteran of many broken bones. I was lucky that the collarbone displacement didn't require surgery, but if they pin yours, then theoretically you might be able to do some lighter activity a little sooner. The critical thing as, everyone else is saying, is speak to your consultant and follow their advice. Don't jeopardise your recovery by pushing it too soon. In the grand scheme of things the weeks you may be out of action are just the blink of an eye, and you'll return to the bass even more motivated to get playing!

    I'm travelling from Essex to Manchester on Monday. I can't make any major detour as I'll be very tight for time, but if this seller can drop the bass off at either the Ford Dunton Technical Centre before 10am Monday (when I'm leaving) or his address is very close to the north side of the M25, I might be able to help...
