Mr. Foxen

I cna get this done. got a pattern? Also, is just shielding.

[quote name='algmusic' post='899855' date='Jul 20 2010, 11:48 AM']I love this kind of bravery.. I just can't afford the risk of blowing my amp.. I've only done this once at rehearsal an played very quietly, but I always have the rule of getting a cab that can handle at least about 20% more than the amp, then you can drive the beast how you want... I'm sure you get a better sound.. well IMHP[/quote] Depends on what you mean by 'handle', and at what rating. Plenty of cabs won't handle 80% of their rated RMS power due to excursion limit at the frequency where cone excursion is at maximum. Exceeding the excursion limit is the bit that will break most bass guitar speakers, because you don't need to do it for a length of time, push the speaker past that limit and its gone.

That bass looks like this one: [url="http://www.theredrickenbacker.com/"]http://www.theredrickenbacker.com/[/url]

[quote name='algmusic' post='899042' date='Jul 19 2010, 03:24 PM']I was selling an Ampeg 2x12 a about 6months ago it could handle 400@ 4ohms.. a guys turns up with a 1200@2ohms (valve as well).. you can imagine my comments... "if you want to blow the cab... give me the cash first, but you need to change the head or by a cab"[/quote] Fender/sunn 1200s? Anyway, cab would be fine if you don't crank the amp.

[quote name='ezbass' post='897535' date='Jul 17 2010, 07:52 PM']That must've just gone recently on as I looked there yesterday. Added to my watch list for sure, thanks for the heads up. Didn't realise it was 18volt though, hopefully it's not too greedy on batteries.[/quote] Its a buy it now, so not huge point in watching unless you are desperate to save £20 at the risk of missing it.

Reckon cooking oil might be a little kinder on your fingers and fretboard.

[quote name='MythSte' post='898401' date='Jul 18 2010, 09:36 PM']I hate to be the miserable bugger but if thats the case you need hearing protection!![/quote] Might be 'needed'.

Try two.

However much you crank it it won't make sound without a cab. If you have a cab, maybe you need another one. What are you using it with?

[quote name='cameltoe' post='897861' date='Jul 18 2010, 10:52 AM']True, but who wants to be carrying 6 cabs in and out of the Nag's Head on a Friday night?[/quote] Hi. [quote name='cameltoe' post='897861' date='Jul 18 2010, 10:52 AM']Isn't it also a strain on the amp to try and drive too many speakers?[/quote] No.

Is that Mike from Spaced?

[quote name='Bassassin' post='897725' date='Jul 18 2010, 12:29 AM']Jedsons weren't all sh!te by a long way. Things like this were definitely entry-level tat but you'll also find some quite sexy early Matsumoku stuff wearing a Jedson badge, such as (guitar content warning) this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Jedson-Les-paul-copy-1970s-Vintage-MIJ-/120596488289"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Jedson-Les-paul-copy...J-/120596488289[/url] I've seen some nice Mat Jazz copies badged as Jedson too, and their acoustics can fetch some quite startling money. The Jedson brand disappeared in the early 70s after J.E. Dallas & Sons (see what they did there?) merged into Dallas-Arbiter. I think the Arbiter brand broadly has a slightly better reputation too. J.[/quote] Kinda scrimping on the neck plate there.

It's a Yamaha P bass, think with jazzier neck, not much in common with the Sheehan basses. Probably a nice enough instrument, but not anything exciting.

there was a comedy character in a cheap muso magazine called Teddy Tench that was a collection of bad musician cliches, and he played a Jedson, I was interested to fdind what they were and get one just to be a bad cliche (I play pointy BC Richs). When I found out I realised I already had one.

[quote name='mep' post='897646' date='Jul 17 2010, 09:59 PM']Jazz style maple bolt on neck? Looks more like rosewood to me.[/quote] Neck is made of maple, so can be described validly as a maple neck. Rosewood is the fretboard, as he specifies.

Get the cast cover from the side of a motorbike engine, that would be cool.

[quote name='270degrees' post='897331' date='Jul 17 2010, 03:03 PM']You're more likely to blow a cone using an underpowered amp.[/quote] If you can explain how, without making up physics that isn't true, you win a prize.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='897320' date='Jul 17 2010, 02:48 PM']I have thought about this too ,Last year for example shall we say a friend of mine lets call him Derek (Definitley not me and just happens to have all the exact same gear as me!).Well Derek plays in a few bands and probably earnt £1500-2000 with a few freebie charity do etc on top but also in that tax year had to buy a Genz-Benz rig,A pre EB Stingray bass plus stage clothing,Strings,Batteries and Petrol etc etc.So if I (sorry Derek) had declared that year as a loss would that be deductable against his regular job income? Hence making it very worthwhile as long as it never makes a profit, Which in all the years as far as I know Derek never has! [/quote] Gear buying is capital, so you can claim for depreciation, not the whole cost, unless you blow it all up within a year.

Theoretically yes. In practice you could break the cab without cranking, if you do it wrong, and ignore the fact the cab is making protest noises.

It sounds horrible because of high frequencies. Not sure a pedal distortion is going to cause it much upset, usual rule appllies with sound horrible, turn down. The bit tat kills tweeters is the square wave when you clip a power stage, because suddenly loads of power is shunted to the tweeter as the crossover sees the 'flat' bit as entirely high frequencies, if there is a bulb protecting the tweeter, that is when your cab glows. I'd guess this might happen with a distortion pedal, but probably not nearly to the same extent, and your ears will protest before the tweeter expires. Just unwire the tweeter.

[quote name='BeachComa' post='896807' date='Jul 16 2010, 07:53 PM']The seller says it hums a bit on b and e strings...? I was under the impression that it contained a high pass filter, so it shouldn't matter which string is struck right?[/quote] If it is sat on another cab, maybe is is resonating cause of vibrations form the cab below. Not a hard one to check by shifting it.

I think the Sansamp has a built in speaker sim treble roll off, other DIs might not have which can make some horrible sound from distortion into PA tweeters.
