    Didn't brookes do a 15 string bass once? That would be my dream one

    I felt I was getting a 'ric' tone from my P the other day.

    I modelled the cab with 50,40 and 30 Hz tuning, all f them work with the standard Eminence Beta but with slightly differing frequency responses. Because speakers in roughly similar price brackets tend to have reasonably similar performances it often happens that they will 'work' when swapped even if a little more performance could be gained by proper matching. Without proper specs I'm guessng of course but in this case I can't really expect problems.

    This will be heading off to the vintage bass room in the next few days as I’m away for most of August Bump

    Schematic and chassis layout are quite freely available online if you search for Brown Note D'lite. It was a kit build. A guitar playing buddy who'd been through (conservatively) £20k of amplification in 5 years at that point said it was the best amp he'd ever played so I was pretty chuffed at that...

    Will the amps go up to 11.2 I wonder ST 1 was one of the reasons I bought an EBS head - they too go up to 11

    While @Beedster likes the creme pickup look, I am aware its a bit marmite. So just a reminder that I am also including the original Fender (black) pickup in case you wanted to swap out (and perhaps sell on the DiMarzio creme?) The ad from which I bought this bass shows how the original pickup looks https://fenderfever.com/products/2879

    One of the above, in good condition. Versatile little amp, from cleans to classic AC/DC to Metallica it does it all, and in a much more portable format than a Marshall 100w valve amp! Comes boxed, with manual, leads, and carry-case. Price includes postage in UK.

    The beauty of getting as much out of a 12-string as possible is allowing the instrument to push the signal through a pair of amps. I owned a Waterstone Tom Petersson a few years back, simply pushing things through a single amp/processing wasn't the way to go. For me, I was always chasing a TP/dUg kind of tone, so a crossover was essential at the time (I used a Rolls unit) and pushed two feeds into a stereo poweramp and two cabs. The lows were pushed through something that could deliver a fairly robust phat tone (Sansamp BDDI) and the highs went through something that would deliver dirt (I went with a Sansamp GT2 which is effectively a guitar pedal and way more suited to the octave strings). Moving forward, the XB Driver pretty much emulates the above (and more). It's got a quite beautiful phat-sounding clean stage and a VERY gnarly drive stage; there's low/high filters on each of the channels (which are more suited than a regular crossover) which are engaged when the Crossover button (just below the red 'BASS' knob), which really brings the unit alive. It's a fantastic unit.

    One of the above, in good condition aside from slight dents on the top horn near the strap button, and holes on the headstock where I fitted a Hipshot triple retainer - happy to put it back on if required. Weighs 6.8lbs. Comes in a generic gig-bag. No shipping, collection/meet up only.

    A set of the above. Fit Japanese Fender Mustang basses so prob most MIJ/CIJ Fenders (HVAC tape currently around shaft as recommended by Hipshot for a tighter fit). One key slightly different as shown, with the screw at the end, but all genuine USA Hipshots. Price includes postage in UK.
  22. Lozz196
    A set of the above, fit Mexican Fenders. Price includes postage in UK.

    If postage ever becomes an option please DM me @Lozz196 and let me know, this would have sold within a week if it had been I think

    Bravo, @Chiliwailer, left us all trailing in your wake. A mighty fine tune 👏

    Ozzy's one of those guys you'd be happy to meet for a blether. Comes across as just a genuine nice guy who once had some issues like many from that era. Dave

    @Chienmortbb @Pow_22 Thanks for the information. With all the talk of valve tone and the thump of class A/B power amps and the heft - there, I said it 😱 - that you get from old school amp designs like this, coupled with what I think is pretty much a give away price, I'm surprised this is still hanging around. Someone somewhere mentioned that this series of amps wasn't particularly desirable but given that they doesn't suffer from the wooly sound some folks complain of with Ashdown amps I think they're an underrated gem. But as I gig almost exclusively on IEMs these days and have a light weight amp and cab for the occasional dep gig with backline, this is sadly in the way and needs to go to a new loving home.

    From the other side.... When I turned 66 my dad was 90. His comment? "I'm not sure I can cope with having a son who's a pensioner..."
  29. Acebassmusic
    I know what you mean but I've been doing it for years and the only drawback I can see is that all my basses have gone from 34" to 35" 🤣🤣

    Did you have a schematic for this please?
