  3. [quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1500383249' post='3337336'] yeah, this makes sense. FYI - I have an active musicman sterling - SB14 Even with line out, will this not stress the speakers? [/quote] It's not ideal, but be careful with the EQ (roll off the bass) and volume and it should be fine....
  4. I've got a black Sandberg VM5 (35") that although I like, it's not getting much playing so might be tempted to let go...
  5. Are not the 5LX's usually 35" scale?

  7. I tend to run my amps eq flat and tweak the eq on the bass for the room/song. My basses sound quite different, so I aim to get the best "signature" tone out of each of them..
  8. Again it depends on your ears and tastes ... I prefer an uncoloured cab, other people prefer cabs with s specific tonal character... Apart from that you can't really judge cabs in isolation... Whether you go VK, TKS, BF or Berg, you're probably not going to be disappointed, but your fingers, your bass, your signal chain, your preamp and power combinations also have a huge influence.. Plus people playing your gear sound different to you playing it (usually better it appears, although they seem to think the opposite).. Buy a decent cab secondhand, then if it does not suit, move it on if you think it is the problem...
  9. At some point you're going to have trust your own ears
  10. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1499958049' post='3334838'] I was going to suggest looking at the battery too as the source of the corrupted presets. Generally the instrument needs to be plugged in and powered up periodically in order to preserve the battery. If it has been sitting unused since 1986 I doubt whether the battery will have survived. Also IIRC the DX7 should come with 2 ROM cartridges each holding 64 sounds in 2 banks of 32. [/quote] Yup, should have had the factory cartridge at least, but didn't Which is fine for the money, but I'm going to have to reload the factory voices via sysex regardless....I'll change the battery as basic maintenance, and I'll probably do a recap on the power supply as well - kit is about £15- and a backlit display (another tenner)...
  11. Nope.. Had been sitting in his loft since 1986.... :-) However it's missing the factory ROM cartridge, which means buggering around with sysex to reload the factory settings as the current ones are corrupted...
  12. Just picked up a near immaculate Yamaha DX7 in it's original box for £60... :-)
  13. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1499878501' post='3334284'] This. Even old-style valve backline draws very little current compared to a kettle or non-LED lights. [/quote] Sounds like a great giant excuse. Their explanation sounds like b**llox
  14. If you go to bass direct I'm only 15 mins away and have a bf BT2 you're more than welcome to try. Also some berg ae210s which I might be getting rid of..
  15. The one mod I have done to all my barefaced wheeled cabs is to fix some aluminium corner strip to the lower rear edge to protect against scrapes when wheeling them. Quick spray of black paint and job done..
  16. If they failed to tell you of these charges when you agreed they could sell your basses on commission then I don't see why you should pay them, however reasonable they might be...
  17. It's the level of service you really want to expect from a premium brand... Pity Mesa Boogie don't have the same attitude in the UK ...
  18. Some form of quick release straps or rail type system?
  19. Just fix some of these to the top of your cab https://www.jjroofingsupplies.co.uk/stainless-steel-pigeon-spikes/
  20. They're made in Spain, and the master usually wants to ensure his instruments only go to the truly talented and appreciative . It was a joke 😀
  21. Whatever you get, make sure you get a good setup done
  22. Do we have to go to Spain for the interview first? :-)
  23. Ive had lots of barefaced cabs with no damage. The fact that they're light means you don't have to put as much force into moving them. If I was touring they'd go into a flight case.
  24. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1499521825' post='3332005'] Another company making Fender clones...why?? [/quote] Because people buy them rather than Fenders ?
  25. Take a look at the Yamaha mox series..
