All Activity

Hi there actually I have no idea. There is facebook sites dedicated to tribut acts, they probably advertise on there Probably start following a few bands online and maybe message them that you would be interested if the opportunity came up I joined U2 Tribe after a support slot with The Policed in Southend. I saw their bassist had announced his departure and so I contacted their singer Job was mine immediately as they had already seen me and loved my bass sound

Got a set of Elixer nanoweb nickels for Christmas and decided to swap them with the HB flats that were on my ‘87 Dynabass. Super impressed! I’ve had the same strings on my MVP for at least 5 years…love Elixers!

Agreed, G&L all the way. The pre-amp and pick-ups sound ace and are really flexible and genuinely useful live. The bridge is indeed fabulous. Sires are great but it's just an active Jazz init. G&Ls will never be made again.

If you have been inspired by these fine tunes , this might be of interest

Looks beautiful, love the finish on the front. Congratulations on your new bass 👌🏼

Thanks for all the responses. To answer the various questions: I don't know if it's the right foot switch for the amp - it came with the amp, but it was an estate sale so there's room for error The problem seems limited to the foot switches, it works fine when I just use the front panel switches None of the switches seem to be latching, they are just momentary Our best guess is that as @Sparky Mark says, the foot switches need some switch cleaner and a bit of use In other news, I had a friend stay over Christmas and she's an electronics engineer, so we took the amp apart to look at the front panel illumination. Inside the amp: Confirmation of the age: It turns out it didn't need great electronics skill. The front panel is connected to this board, and there is a 2-pin connector on the board (yellow ellipses) which comes directly from the mains transformer (yellow arrow). So the panel AND its drive circuit have been disconnected all this time! I had worried that maybe the panel was disconnected but the driver had still been live and was possibly damaged. I re-plugged the connector, and voila! Mmmm! While we had the case open, I took a photo of the power supply capacitors. There's a bit of 100Hz hum on the speakers and we're suspecting dried out capacitors. There's a bit of work to do to remove them though.

Quick review?

I owned a later 715 peavey era GP7 amp with the BF-4 foot switch ( there was also a BF-6 for GP12's, both with the DIN multi cable). I seem to recall that the best way to set up was to connect the foot switch before powering up and also ensure all the switches or buttons were in the off/out position on the amp front panel and not to use the front panel buttons at all while things were powered on. Slightly off topic but the same thing applied to Ashdown's remote foot switch for ABM heads, always connect before powering up and leave all front panel buttons in the out position.

I got the MXR Bass Synth! Chuffed!
