  2. I'm Always Touched By Your Presence, Dear - Blondie
  3. If you look at ICEPower range, the difference between the the A 125ASX2 and the 1200AS1 in volume is about $100. In bridge mode the 125ASX2 will do 500 watts into 4ohms and is used in a number of “500 watt” amplifiers. The 1200AS1 will need more thermal management than the 125ASX2, more than outweighing the cost implications of the bridging circuits required by the 125ASX2. Thr ASX and AS1 range of modules are used in many bass amplifiers. The 1200 watt unit will dive a loudspeaker harder than a 500 watt but will undoubtedly increase power compression in the loudspeaker, limiting the acoustic output by 1-2 dB, hence you could argue that the 1200 watt unit is the one that is the oddity in the range. Looking at the TE1200, the cost is £1000, way more expensive than the 500-700 watt models from Ashdown, Aguilar and even Harley Benton, all of which use ICEPower modules . I have been told, by people I trust, that the TE1200 is a superb amp so why not an amp filling the gap between 200 and 1200 watts? Clearly the TE branded Peavey ams, Elf and TE1200 have fairy dust inside so why not sprinkle some on a 500-700 watt amp? Although a qualified electronics engineer. I also spent a decade or more in a Marketing role. We had a single model in one category and the Factory developed three models to replace it to suit three different market segments. The Sakes Manager was convinced our sales would remain static. In the end our sales went up 250%. The reason? People could choose from within our range without having to search other manufacturers. So it makes sense for TE/Peavey. So whether a 500 watt TE500(Orca) is needed by bassists is in some way irrelevant, the truth is that there is a market segment for a TE amp in the 500-700 area at about £700-800.
  4. We had a full band rehearsal yesterday to get ready for Worcester gig on Friday 11th... The part-band rehearsals really helped - everyone is now more receptive to what the others are playing, and as a result we're tighter and a bit heavier. Guitarman, however, hadn't learnt some of the intricate widdly bass bits I do which would have sound awesome if we both did 'em, so we decided he'd just emphasise the beginning of the phrase in one of the songs leaving me to have a number of mini solos... and in the other one where my busy line does a sort of double time syncopation with the vocals he does just muted scratchy stuff which further emphasises the rhythm. So a bit of a win! Just hoping drum-man doesn't start every song far too slow!
  5. Here we have a fantastic Glockenlang preamp, comprising Volume, Treble and Bass controls. Pull passive tone circuit activated from Push/Pull vol control. This was removed by my tech from another bass I got in a trade. If you use a twin pickup bass you will just need to obtain a suitable balance pot. The details: GLOCKENKLANG 2-band onboard preamp Active/passive switchable (at the volume push/pull) Treble-pot with +/- 18 dB@18 KHz in active mode, acting as classical high cut in passive mode Bass-pot with +/- 14 dB@40 Hz. Input-impedance (without Balance): 1,5 MOhm Frequency range: 20 Hz -20 KHz Power requirement: 9 volts/1,3 mA Min. installation depth: 28 mm (1.1″) Due to the high performance electronics, in flat position of the eq you can hear no difference between active and passive mode! £75 inc postage. Paypal (you pay fees) or bank transfer both fine. Please see my extensive positive feedback thread for assurance of a simple, honest transaction.
  6. Has the neck gone? I have more pickups than I will ever need 😊 Thanks Rob
  7. Bought a Boss DS-330 from Ash. Absolutely mint, boxed - couldn't have found a better example anywhere else. Thank you! It's great to have it back in my world to revive some old tracks from the 90s.
  8. Will part trade toward a cali76 CB cash your way.
  9. Lovely, congratulations John 😎
  10. Weak In The Presence Of Beauty - Alison Moyet
  11. Thanks for the suggestions guys. So I literally just need vol/vol or vol/blend (not fussed) b/t, and a passive switch ideally. I'm more than happy for stacked controls. Just no idea where to turn. In regards to liking the sound, I love it, but I want flexibility on board. If I'm playing live, I dont want to have to fiddle with pedals mid gig to get a slightly different tone. Plenty do that I knkw, just not for me. Thanks for the suggestions.
  12. Is it still for sale ?

  15. One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood
  16. FTFY. Granted it was an excellent bass sound, but I am finding that rock and metal bass tones now fall into one of two categories 1) Sansamp 2) Darkglass GnR were woeful. Only polished thing about them were Axl Rose's teeth. He absolutely butchered Never Say Die. I haven't heard a singer that out of time since the vocalist in my first band and that was 28 years ago.

  18. Hi all, The speaker in my Markbass Mini CMD 121P (Combo Head II) has failed, and I’m looking for a suitable 12" replacement. Here are the specs I need to match: Impedance: 8 ohms Power handling: 400W RMS (AES rated) Amp output: 300W RMS @ 8 ohms (500W @ 4 ohms) Cabinet type: rear-ported bass reflex It doesn't have to be the exact same speaker model that originally came with the combo, and I don’t mind if the replacement is a little heavier than the original (I know Markbass uses neodymium drivers, but weight isn't that much an issue for me). Has anyone here replaced the speaker in this exact combo before? I'd love to hear what you used and how it worked out — especially in terms of fit, screw holes, tone, and handling the amp’s output. I don’t have much technical knowledge about amps or speakers, so any advice in plain language would be very helpful. Preferably, the speaker should be available through Thomann. Thanks in advance for your help!
  19. Problem solved, La Bella LTFs, thanks everyone for taking time out to help 👏👏👏
  20. Amazing amp! Only selling as I’ve just bought a Mesa that will do 2ohms, which I need. Excellent condition, 900w at 4ohms and I think 600w at 8ohms. Really does sound superb! Comes with newish Eich amp case. £375 plus P&P or collect from Plymouth. May trade for Markbass NY151 cab or possibly MB 12” combo.

  25. Hi folks, just thought I'd post an update here based on a few conversations... I appreciate this is a big - and expensive - item and it's a long way to travel for many people so I've had a think about how far south I'm able to travel for a meet up from Edinburgh... West - Abington Services on M74 East - Berwick upon Tweed. Middle - Jedburgh Hope that helps a little. It's not a heavy cabinet but it's dimensions make it difficult to package up for posting so I don't think that's an option. Thanks for the enquiries so far.
