I want it now. If you don't want, register my interest.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='534340' date='Jul 7 2009, 12:44 AM']Reliced amps? Crackly pots, missing knobs, cut out, catch fire and electrocute the user.[/quote] Doom Anyone know a mod I can make to my amp so they will electrocute JoeGarcia when he turns them up past half way? Sound Control used to do reliced guitar strings, you'd open the pack and find there were fingerprints corroded into them.

If its 6x12 = Doom and I want.
-
Never gigged my one, was totally fine for cheesy blues jams, ran it on top of another 1x15, would have been giggable, not for Doom though.
-
Probably got bees in it.
-
and 8 ohm and a 6 ohm should be happy with an amp set at 4 ohm. Not sure they'd balance out too well though. Think they are super nice cabs, and its beat up, heading toward Doom, not there yet though.
-
Aaaargh, balls. I was watching that and thinking of giving up my programmable.
-
Blown fuse, inside, on a board near the speaker outs, probably a big 5 amp glass one.
-
Not sure VT bass has the output level required, but I've just run a BDDI into a 200w Matamp power amp and it cheerfully farts out my 4x10.
-
Would that preamp be good before my Matamp slave head? Tone shaping can come elsewhere (tbh, meh on knobs anyway). -
Neck pup in EB position. Awesome.

Having got some WinISD time it, I've figured a suitable plan for the nad rattling lows I was after is to stick a pair of 3015LF drivers into a cab about the size of my 8x10 (thus making a pair, using the 8x10 for distorted higher stuff) and porting it appropriately. I know a chap who can do the build at a good rate (and is a fellow bassist to boot) but I could do with some plans to send him to give an idea of the wood required. I could measure up my 8x10 and draw it myself, but I'm fairly sure the internet will know somewhere (and leave my time with 8x10 for noisemaking).
-
Kind of want the 8x10, don't need it though. Plenty of old valve amps are fine for both guitar and bass, I've accumulated a fair collection without spending vast amounts of cash. Plenty of fine amplifiers suffer from have the wrong name written on them, the Carlsbro in trade is an ideal example. Speakers are a bit different between guitar and bass, definitely not gonna get the right sounds using the wrong cabs either way, unless you have one of those super clean cabs and a modelling preamp/power amp deal going on.

[quote name='beerdragon' post='531909' date='Jul 3 2009, 06:45 PM']I bought one of these. it's err... chunky! but i can do something with it. ok for the money. [url="http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/p-498-dr-parts-maple-precision-bass-guitar-neck-21-fret-replacement-neck-with-maple-fingerboard.aspx"]http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/p-498-dr...ingerboard.aspx[/url][/quote] How chunky are we talking? Telebass chunky? Been looking for something as thick as the necks on those cheap Johnsons, but with a sensible shaped headstock. About an inch thick fron to back, and pretty much baseball bat shaped.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='532336' date='Jul 4 2009, 11:23 AM']Oh, and Foxen... Vintage = Doom.[/quote] Now that I have it at home and no-one can snatch it from under my nose, I can reveal why I was asking about alternative colours. Claber, can you do the Vintage in green with a white cloth? To match this: I think it should match nicely with the Vintage.

Not interfering with the next tuner somewhere?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='530581' date='Jul 2 2009, 01:21 PM']I have 4OHMs not being used, but I think 4 X 10, 1 X 15 and an 8 X 8 might be overkill.[/quote] 4 X 10, 1 X 15 and an 8 X 8 is Doom -
He is a regular poster here, and thinks that a pair of Aguilar GS4x12s and a 1200w Sunn head aren't loud enough already. Not sure how he blows them up, ask him. I'm going to make a new back for my head with fans on it.

[quote name='chuckles' post='530633' date='Jul 2 2009, 01:56 PM']I like that demo you have. The amp that blew can't have been in good order though, eh? I do similar/worse with my Selmer T 'n' B often and its still in one piece (touch wood). Nice work though. Do you play out much?[/quote] Blatant thread hijack: Not me that blew them, its JoeGarcia playing guitar, and its three so far he's exploded, one was freshly serviced. Think its just the volume he's doing it at with loads of dense pedals. Not letting him near my Matamp. Are a fairly new band, so only on our second practice, exploding amps every time makes progress slow, that demo was end of first practice playing guitar through half my bass rig. But yeah, those old Carlsbros are gonna be up and coming collectables, as they've run out of Hiwatts and such to gather.
-
[quote name='chuckles' post='530544' date='Jul 2 2009, 01:07 PM']Blimey! What do you do with them to blow them up, dare I ask? In any case, I'd like £250 for it. It's just been revalved & serviced (in December) and not used very much since then. Ta! Stephen[/quote] See 'New Band' in sig.
-
I'm in Bristol, fairly sure there are a few Basschatters here itching for a go. Vintage will be Compact but more so right?
-
How much for the Carlsbro? I need to buy old valve amps faster than JoeGarcia can blow them up. I have a TC100 and it sounded great until it blew up, awaiting shipping it off for an expensive fixing.

Reverend Rumblefish PJ + Frankenfender + Parts
Mr. Foxen replied to tanuki's topic in Basses For Sale
That the Franken P that was up in Tom Waghorns? Want, shame I've tied up my funds. Someone buy Joe Garcia's Sabre, so at least I get to touch it. -
I'd like one of those 24x5 fridges, not sure if they are Doom though.
-
EHX valves are gainy and grindy.
