[quote name='dood' post='606217' date='Sep 22 2009, 10:43 PM']I'd urge you to see if you can find a Trace V-Type preamp. The schematic is very similar - but I actially think the Trace is a better design - and has an effects loop ;o)[/quote] Sorry to differ but the Trace is the same as the Alembic F1X and BBE BMAX-T. F2B is different design.

I will provide a new Bassic-bits 1m Klotz Speakon to Speakon cable (see #3) 1. Trace Elliot Stainless Steel strings 40-100 gauge 2. Trace Elliot Acoustic Phosphor Bronze strings 40-60-80-100 gauge 3. Bassic-bits 1m. Speakon to Speakon cable 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

I've been playing SR5s for the last 11 years. My current one was acquired in 2003, was fitted with Status neck and a Nordstrand in 2005 and despite trying other basses it is the one I always come back to, in fact it is my only 5-string now and consequently is used all the time. Incredibly clean and precise but dirty if you dig in. Rarely, if ever goes out of tune. I was sorely tempted to get a Sterling 5 HS but opted to go down the custom route for my next 5-string. Only another 10-months to wait.

I remember the Applejacks. One of my band members is mentioned on the Brumbeat site. He played for the Downbeats from 1962 til 1964. Their singer left to join the Applejacks and then moved off to star on the West End Stage. Happy days. He still has his Hofner Verithin and it sounds great, for a guitar.

Alan, I have eventually settled on Stainless DR LoRiders (45-125) on my Stingray 5. I tried all sorts of strings and these have come out the best.

I've been experimenting with settings anyone got any they'd like to share???? Thanks[/quote] I've revoiced the EQ section (changed the capacitors) on mine for bass i.e. same as Alembic F1X, Trace V-series, BBE Bmax-T. Just need to put it all back together now.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='589394' date='Sep 4 2009, 09:09 AM']I think it was 2 or 3 quid last time i ordered from them, not too extortionate compared to some places. I got 2 EHX adapters and a reverse polarity adapter for around £15 posted[/quote] Interesting. They ramp up their postage up by the item which really bears no relation to the actual cost of postage. FYI I've been doing EH Boss socket to jack adaptors and plug to jack adaptors for about 6 years now. £4.50 each to BCers plus £1 postage for up to 6 cables.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='589385' date='Sep 4 2009, 08:56 AM']They're like Diago but not stupidly expensive![/quote] Until you add the postage costs.

I used to do those. I might have one somewhere which you can have. I'll have a look tomorrow.

No, neither is Mark King.

[quote name='Johngh' post='563400' date='Aug 8 2009, 11:53 AM']I'll be coming to the Bash. And bringing Fender MIJ Jazz 75 reissue. Shuker Headless 6er and Status S2 Classic 6er headless. Your welcome to try the S2 obbm, even though its a six.[/quote] Ta muchly.

What impedance is the cab?

I would really like to try a Status S2 Classic 5-string fretted headless. can't see one on the list. Has anyone got one they can bring please?

I had a DJ5, black with maple fretboard and it had a great range of tones, especially with the J-Retro. It did growly very well indeed. At one point I had a DJ5 and a JO5. The DJ5 was so much better all round, and lighter, even than the DJ4 I've just sold Although I played it for a year or so I don't get on with 35-inch scales so it ultimately had to go and I went back to my Status necked Stingray 5. To be honest I have yet to find another 34-inch scale 5-string to equal the SR5.

If you bought a 4-ohm 2x10 and used it with 4x10 the total impedance would be 2-ohms. You should be asking yourself "is my Peavey head capable of driving a 2-ohm load without expiring?"

I did quite a bit of research on the Sterling 5. It is effectively the same neck as the SR5, it's the body that is smaller. I contacted Strings and Things asking who had one in stock in the UK that I could try. They had one which they said they could send to my local dealer, Andertons, should I wish to try it. They also sent me a list of basses which were ex-factory and which could be shipped over if I ordered one in one month rather than the normal 3-4 months for a new build. Having looked at the demos I came to the conclusion that I wanted an HS. I was on the point of ordering one and then it dawned on me that for the price I could get a fully custom bass built here in the UK by a superb luthier with HS pick-ups, so that's what I've ordered. The only down-side is that I now I have to wait 10 months but it'll be worth it. I would certainly be interested in trying a Sterling HS but they are about as common as hen's teeth.

Possible confusion of terms. By using the the acronym PA do you mean a Power Amp to drive your speakers or do you mean the Public Address (front of house sound reinforcement and monitoring system) which is more normally referred to as the PA?

How about an Epifani UL902C. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54996&st=0#entry545150"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...t=0#entry545150[/url]

I am pretty certain that this exact rig was on Ebay last year. It's a shame they don't keep the history.
