If you plug a DC cable, the 2.1mm co-axial cable, or even just an unwired plug into the external DC socket it will disconnect the battery. 

Now have adequate packing material so am able to ship within UK. 

What happened to the original SB14 neck?

Dare I suggest a Bergantino CN210?

Reduced to £55 posted.

Did this sell?

I never saw this line-up but I saw Jet Harris with the Jet Blacks in Slough in 1962

 supporting Little Richard and Sam Cooke.

Interesting, as it looks suspiciously similar to something like 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283964862682?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SsSiHyWXTLi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=O0J6pgZgSC6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY which I had considered at in the past as a possible mini power amp - but a lot more expensive. I wonder how long these can sustain their rated output without overheating but as you say, if Eich are prepared to put their name on it one assumes it performs. 
 

I have a 100-watt Nobsound, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274444339477, which I use to drive an active stool or a platform with drums. I think the Eich could be an uprated version of this although the price hike is a bit alarming. The 19-volt power supply is 60% the size of the amp so it's all a bit messy.  I've modified mine so the speaker outlet is now a jack rather than terminal posts however the input is still a phono.  I have yet to try it with a bass through a decent speaker.

Would that have been the price for a new one back then 

I seem to remember that it was certainly less than £100.  Maybe someone with a better memory can correct me.

I can remember that when I wanted to buy a proper bass in 1964 a Fender Precision was about £85.  In the end I had to opt for a Framus Star Bass at £40.  At that time average earnings was about £10 a week.

Had a UL310 and used it for 80 odd gigs when I was playing a lot but then sold it in favour of 2 x UL112. 

Eventually picked up 2 more UL310s and a UL902 but sadly never got use use them in anger as the band folded.

Like so much gear they got moved on and so I never got to hear what this rig actually sounded like apart from in my garage.  Great kit.

An A/B switch at the end of your effects chain. A goes to the amp. B goes to a headphone amp.

We have had a discussion but this is far more than I want/need.

This is my current board based on the Aclam XS1.  In order to maximise space I replaced the end cheeks with pieces of right-angle aluminium faced with self-adhesive silicon rubber strip.  Underneath is a Thumpinator and the rechargeable battery pack.

It is my intention to  replace the Sweeper, the Subnup and possibly the Tuner, BDDI and Thumpinator with an HX Stomp. 

There are however a couple of issues with this.

1.  I need to change over from battery power to mains power as the battery pack does not have enough capacity for the HX Stomp. Not a big deal just need some cash.

2. Going from the the Cali76 to the Stomp will mean that the Tuner function is after the compressor which is not recommended.  Would it be sensible to put an FX Loop as the first block of The Stomp and run the compressor on that?

Prefer to stand where I can see the kick drum pedal, usually next to the snare/high-hat.  This is probably why I have defective hearing and tinnitus.

It's been reported that Dr. Feelgood's Mercedes Sprinter van containing all instruments and equipment was stolen from Hockley, Essex, overnight.

Please share this message and report any sightings to the Police ASAP.

I suspect @obbmwill tell a different story!

Yes Slightly different John.  In my latter days at Sony Broadcast I was Technical Manager for Exhibitions, a kind of super Roadie.  For some months prior to the big trade shows I would meet with the Product Managers and we would decide what we show and how it would be demonstrated.  From these discussions a list of equipment and a set of schematics was produced.  For the very large show (IBC in Amsterdam) I used to take on two broadcast engineering students from Ravensbourne College in Bromley for the summer months to help.  It helped me enormously and gave them an insight into a large manufacturer, the industry, got them to the show and they got paid.  Our Logistics people did a great job in allocating all the products required  and packing it by area.  I should point out that the largest stand we built was 40m x 25m triple decker so the amount of equipment required filled a number of 40-ft artics.  It was like building a TV station from scratch in 10 days. I used a team of 4 or 5 installation wiremen and would work closely with the stand builders to get all the inter-area cabling installed.  Once we started putting product into the stand the Product Managers and Product Support Engineers would finish connecting up and start commissioning.  We liked to keep them away until it was convenient to us for them to be there so they used to attend the Sales Meeting. The afternoon before opening all the sales guys descended on us for hands-on training.  For the whole of the build we were in very casual dress but come opening time everyone was there in their suits, regardless of what time we finished the night before.  Once it was over we had 3 days to take it all apart put the right kit in the right boxes, store away all the cables and ship everything back.

Sorry I've rambled on for too long but happy days. 

Since the prostate was whipped out 15 years ago I’ve almost always sat down to gig. Initially it was a tall bar stool but now I use an Eich active drum throne with the kick drum fed into it. A sort of kick up the backside. I certainly feel more comfortable and never had a problem as the keyboard player also sits.

Joel has just taken delivery of my Markbass Nano.  Perfect transaction.  Deal with confidence.

If I had a DOB Fender Precision it would obviously be a fake as I was born 5 years before it was created.

Interesting. Thanks

Just found a picture of the inside of it and the input socket is wired directly to a small transformer. I can also see a rectifier and smoothing capacitors so it definitely needs AC. If it came with a 4.8VA adaptor then that should be a minimum requirement. If you find something with a higher rating then that will be fine.
