I bought this amp about 18 months ago, mostly because I wanted an amp that would work with a 2.7 ohm speaker stack, it sounds great but I spend too much time playing with all the possible sounds it has and not enough learning how to play the right notes at the right time, alas I havent found an amp that quite does that!! Come complete with cables, gig bag, and footswitch. Sorry I'm not sure I still have the manual, but it's available online at https://blackstaramps.com/product/unity-elite-700h The paint has flaked off on the back top right hand corner, see pic. Apart from that it's in really good condition. Here's the website description: The Unity 700H Elite Bass Head is a dynamic, high-headroom piece of gear.

Please help me setup my Barefaced Super Compact tone
chris_b replied to Big_Sam's topic in Amps and Cabs
My Mike Lull PJ5 and Sadowsky Jazz make a great sound, but through the same amp and cab my Cort Jazz makes a much thinner sound. I got around this by using a Sadowsky pre amp. The sound of the Cort is now 90% there. Barefaced 12" cabs put the rest of your gear under a microscope. Any inconsistencies or shortcomings are magnified. But with the right bass and amp and they will make you sound great. -
Nice! A bit off topic, but just for my education - why drop A? Do you use the low A or is it more for helping with certain chord/open string stuff across all strings?

Please help me setup my Barefaced Super Compact tone
Stofferson replied to Big_Sam's topic in Amps and Cabs
I went from BF 10's to 12's It does take some tweaking! but you will get there and be better for it. As the super compacts are "honest" with no baked in tone, you really just need to give it one, the great thing then is what comes out your DI into the PA will be more or less the same as the cab. Keep going, if its brand new the speaker does need running in a bit too! -

Any updates on this? I’ve never met Phil, but have had some contact with him on the interweb. Always been impressed with the PJB line and his concept for how audio can be. Hope all goes well for him.

SpondonBassed replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
That looks like a very nice find indeed. From here it looks like it hasn't been gigged much if at all. That or a very careful owner had it. May I ask how much you paid for the amp and the new valve? I am assuming you had the cab already. I hope you have a LOT of fun with it (preferably well away from your neighbours). -

JohnR started following Southpaw Spotted

I bought this from them a month ago and returned it. The truss rod is broken. I got a very expensive quote to have it repaired but decided to return it. They did offer to let me keep it for a nominal sum but I really don't need an unplayable bass lying about the house. Shame as it was in otherwise great condition.

Need to raise a nut slot. Question about the file.
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Repairs and Technical
Cheers. There is already a piece of paper in the slot. I was getting buzz from behind the nut a while ago and that cured it, but now i get a bit of buzz on the open E string and can see the string is sitting really low. Fretting at the 3rd fret pushes the string on to the 1st fret. -
5 string set of 3/8" Hipshot Licensed Ultralite tuners in shiny Chrome, all in great condition 4+1 configuration for a right handed bass. Have been in my parts drawer for a while and i've not got around to using them. Can provide more photos if required. Not sure what postage would be until packed ready to go, but I'm sure we can work something out.

Jakester replied to dave_bass5's topic in Repairs and Technical
I found when I needed to raise the nut a little a slip of paper did the job enough - might be worth a go before you start hitting it with the glue? -
BlueMoon started following What to check when buying a fretless
-
Normal inspection as per any stringed instrument. The state of the fingerboard (surface condition, radius etc), neck (truss rod) and nut would be my number 1 comment. This is especially important if the neck has been de-fretted. Look for any ridges on the fret-lines and/or excessive gouging along under where the strings lie. The nut height is important if you want the lower action typical of a fretless bass. When trying the bass, first play it without amplification. This will help you discern if the notes sustain well, which helps a fretless bass sparkle. Personally, rolled edges to the fingerboard are a “nice to have”. Remember that a lot of the fretless sound comes from player skill and articulation. Good luck in your search.
