  1. [quote name='Conan' post='807665' date='Apr 15 2010, 09:21 PM']Is that a bad thing? Or does it just mean that the two cabs will sound slightly different as the speakers are moving further in the 2x10 than they are in the 4x10?[/quote] Well, the 2x10 will start to clip when the 4x10 is cruising, so you limit your clean power to twice that of the 2x10. Effectively, you are lugging 2 extra speakers for no gain, and don't have the recommended vertical stack option.
  2. They aren't great, Rikkaxxe is run by one of the bad sort of music shop guys, who looks down on customers and basically has a shop to house his collection. Across the bear pit with the bad buskers from there is Mickleburgh and that is ok, downstairs is the electric instruments and a guy who calls you 'dude' in the least convincing way ever. Then down the road is the House of Bass, where you should come so I can try and sell you my stuff.

[quote name='Grambo' post='807561' date='Apr 15 2010, 08:08 PM']+1 I run an EVO III 500 with 1X ABM 210T which is great for practice, 1X 410T which is good for most mid sized venues, and both cabs if I want to get stupidly loud! The cabs are 8 Ohm each, so running both not only moves a great deal of air, but drives the amp at maximum output. I find the setup does everything I want [/quote] Does mean one of your cabs is running at half power though.
  4. Mazeti explorer copy, set neck, Mighty Mite motherbucker high output picks with coil taps to tame them some. Black with a white plate and gold hardware, £145
  5. [quote name='muddymesser' post='806742' date='Apr 15 2010, 12:12 AM']theres no chance i'll sell my car its going to be a while before i end up on stage believe me its mostly to make sure the bass works when plugged in [/quote] Should be enough to tell you it works. Don't turn all the knobs up when there is no sound then go looking for the problem. You can break music speakers pretty easily with bass. A dinky practice amp is going to be as cheap as anything else if it comes to buying. If a bass doesn't work when plugged in, it's rarely a huge issue to make it work.
  6. Should be able to chop of the jack and put a new one on from Maplins or wherever, just note which wire is connected where.

  8. 2 minutes in and I realise this is not jazz covers of Sex pistols songs.
  9. Not too fussed about losing the job, was temping, and surrounded by boring women talking alternately about getting fat and being hungry. Edit, kinda drifted off the point of 'pedals added'.
  10. [quote name='Annoying Twit' post='805573' date='Apr 13 2010, 11:56 PM']Hmm.... That's in my neck of the woods.[/quote] Probably should go check it out and make a crappy offer. Let me know the crappy offer and I'll send an insultingly lower one first, so they feel like they're scoring a good deal.

  12. Grabbed some as losing the light: Forgot about this, I put a hardwood shim under the neck to give the strings some clearance over the pickup: The birdseye:
  13. When I get home, am at work, just been given notice, so spending my time securing an income for next coupla weeks.
  14. Bump. Just been given notice from my job.
  15. Picked up on ebay because I've always fancied a telebass, I found that the neck is not as chunky as the original, bit more modern. It does have a lovely birdseye maple neck though. I've [s]put a Dimazio Will power in the neck and[/s] strung it with groundwounds, so it feels like flats but still has a little definition (not much, still is a neck bucker bass). Its pretty light, and has really nice bookmatched ash facings. Basically, not planning on doing anything that thumpy at the moment, so its the most spare bass, and I have incomings. £150, come try it in Bristol.
  16. Now all the other ones appear to have gone, this is spare, still prefer my EBS one, and really have no need to octaver anyway. £65 posted
  17. Early ABM 8x10 bass cab. Celestion speakers, that came on models before the blue speaker jobs, so it looks properly old school. I haven't tried the Blue ones, so can't comment on the sound. One has been replaced with an equivalent from Celestion. Don't really want to sell it, but this is big cab number 4. Sounds like an 8x10, looks like a big black box. Dug out some photos, but it does look like a rectangular black thing with white piping round the grill. The specs here mostly seem to apply, size and such, but the handles and speakers are different: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=17"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=17[/url] Currently it is wired to run as two 4x10s, for one box dual amping, but easy enough to return it to standard 4 ohm or 16 ohm, let me know and I'll do it. Gone, collection in central Bristol.
  18. Probably right. Likely something has come loose and is being microphonic.

  20. Get two cabs the same, both 4x10s or both 15s. Hit up the amps and cabs for sale section and get something there. That is plenty of money to play with. Where are you based?
