Leave it in a sunny window till autumn will also sort the colour.

If you like the 2x12, why not get more of the same?

I usually just jam them in, cause I change them every time I change string size.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='860526' date='Jun 7 2010, 11:23 PM']I reckon a strategy 400 and an SVT IIP would be my perfect sounding rig. Aren't they heavy though? Actually, an SVT IIP and an RPM for the front - but that's just greedy.[/quote] How about a PSA for the front? Could do ya a deal. Heavy is a fair description.

[quote name='JackLondon' post='858910' date='Jun 6 2010, 02:48 PM']I think they are all capable of being changed to any voltage, here's a pic of back of mine from UK [attachment=51545:IMG_0278.JPG][/quote] That says "For 120v 60Hz only". Not super encouraging pic.

Looks like a Jet King, which is a new issue based on the Ibanez Rhythm maker, so maybe it is one of those. Not finding a pic. Waitin on Bassassin.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='860408' date='Jun 7 2010, 09:51 PM']Fair dos. I sold my marshall jcm800 last year cos it was a bit too heavy - I replaced it with a an ampeg SVT-IIP preamp and a digital power amp - I've then replaced the digital power amp with a lovely 18kg 1kw solid state power amp. (that 5kg makes all the difference!) I can't say I've missed lugging the Marshall but if somebody else would have carried the b*stard I wouldn't have let it go. That said, I prefer my tone now, it's easier to move, it's louder and quieter. But, there's something about the beautiful simplicity of a good all valve bass amp that I miss.[/quote] I reckon my Mesa Strategy 400 is just the ting you need instead of that cold solid state power. Considering selling it.

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='859826' date='Jun 7 2010, 01:21 PM']Anyway I'm leaning toward the Ampeg, as I'm believing that 10s would tend to greater dispersion and clarity. The 'peg will be a degree more portable though, I figure. The Peavey is a pig to move. Ears are open...[/quote] Is the 2x15 sealed or ported? The 10s only have better dispersion if they aren't next to each other. With dimensions and porting info on the peavy, tried modelling neo 15s in there? Would sort the portability.

Both: Doom What speakers have you got lined up for the peavey? I think you Ampeg will have a far better resale, but it might not agree with valve amps so well if the speakers are 8 ohm each, you end up with a funny total.

I thought I'd order the longer one (he does 2 different sizes) I've decided in the end to make the lines invisible and am just working out what to do with top facing lines as the dots on the top will now be out as the show the middle point of 2 frets instead of on the fret which is what I need now.[/quote] Put a quarter inch of visible line in the top of the slot so you have a reference.

I used rustin's danish oil to finish my Wishbass, and everything else I've needed to finish, lots of sanding and coats looks good:

[quote name='gnasher1993' post='859054' date='Jun 6 2010, 05:12 PM']The Akai Headrush is deinitely worth a look, it's really versatile and within your budget. It can do bright repeats and dark repeats.[/quote] +1, it ticks your boxes.

Find some pipe to fit in the hole and try a few lengths, or sleeve two bits so they are telescopic and try a few tunings.

I borrowed a Hartke 2x15 for a gig, and it was pretty awesome, in the corner of a small venue, did enough volume at low A and sorta lows I like.

I have a very similar amp, but it is an instrument one, with normal and bright channels, and seperate eq for each. Sounded great for about 45 seconds before blowing a fuse, apparently needs a new power transformer.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='857889' date='Jun 5 2010, 01:07 AM']Can't believe that after I spotted this, he added a £100 BIN - and I missed it! Hope someone here got lucky.[/quote] Might have been at request though, someone says I'll give ya £100 for it, and he keeps ebay protection that way.

[quote name='Finbar' post='857600' date='Jun 4 2010, 07:35 PM']Okay, slightly different line of questions. What do people use for their lettering if they want it to look professional? I don't really like the look of the shiny bit you get around waterslide transfers, and I only want to put some words onto a finish, not print off a whole top with graphics and everything. Silk screening would be ace, but I think a bit expensive for a one off.[/quote] Mask and sandblast it, that would be cool.
