    [quote name='crez5150' post='545194' date='Jul 20 2009, 11:33 AM']Hi Guys You might want to take a look again at this which I posted back in May - [url="http://www.theaudiofiles.net/?p=386"]Audiofiles.net[/url][/quote] So no need to worry at this stage however Ofcom are not to be trusted. It was they who concluded that there was no demand in the UK for High Definiton televison broadcasts and as such made no bandwidth allocation for them on the Freeview platform. Several years down the road they have back-pedalled like crazy and HD will be on Freview next year. in time for the World Cup.

    Now I have a rather excellent MB F1 I have no real need for the Epifani UL902C. Dual channel pre-amp plus 2 x 900-watt power amps. Oodles of headroom. A bit too much power for the local jam. It was bought to drive a pair of UL310s but my cab/head line-up has changed so much that realistically I have no need for it. Complete with Epi footswitch. £1150 plus carriage/postage/diesel. Not especially interested in trades at the moment, and certainly not amps, but maybe 5-strings. Why not buy this and the 2 x UL410s that are currently up for sale and have an awesome rig.

    Very interesting. It raises at least three questions in my mind. 1. How are retailers going to justify continuing selling equipment that will be illegal in 3 years time? 2. How do they plan to enforce it considering the sheer amount of wireless equipment currently in use? 3. Who has bare the cost of replacing one's own equipment? I suspect the answer to 3 is muggins. Will we start to see a flood of Ch69 equipment on Ebay aimed at those not in the know?

    [quote name='Rainbass' post='541910' date='Jul 16 2009, 08:24 AM']Hi after owning the Stagg Upright for about 18 months, I got it out to play it last night and half of the nut flew off! Any idea where I can get a replacement nut, and what is involved in removing the remains of the old one and fitting the new one. I'm lousy at DIY, so should I be looking to get help! cheers Dave[/quote] Take it to Joe White in Farnborough. He'll make you a new one.

    It is almost 5-years since I had a Status neck put on my Stingray 5. Other basses have come and gone but nothing touches it. It's still my bass of choice. Sounds great and supremely comfortable to play. I've never had to touch the truss rod and it stays in tune regardless of the temperature.

    Actually the V-type is almost the same as the Alembic F1X. The F2B is a much simpler circuit because there were two pre-amps in the same 1U frame. The BBE BMAX-T is also the same as the F1X, but with a few extras.

    [quote name='dood' post='538153' date='Jul 11 2009, 08:51 PM']Wouldn't it just! - So I'd have to buy a 902 AND a 610? GULP![/quote] I suppose that could be mildly described as extravagant. best to just stay with the F1 and one 610, unless you really want to splash out of course.

    I've been having a sort out and came across a box with almost the complete set of Bassist (only 3 missing) covering the 5 1/2 years of publication from 1995 through 2000. I am loath to dump/shred them, they are also too heavy to post and I can't be @rsed to Ebay them, not that they'd sell anyway. If anyone wants the complete set they are welcome to come and get them. All I ask in return is that they make a respectable donation to Basschat. Failing any takers I'll bring them to the next Bash and sell them for £1 each, the proceeds going to the selected charity.

    [quote name='dood' post='537519' date='Jul 10 2009, 09:38 PM']My agonising is that with the UL-610 I'd never be able to make use of said 1.8KW on the 902![/quote] The answer to that is very simple. Another UL-610, one for each output of the 902.

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='537208' date='Jul 10 2009, 01:28 PM']Both! hahahha! I am awaiting the 1000W Bass Terror...which is apparently still in testing![/quote] Don't need 1000W, I've got a UL902C, 1.8Kw.
  20. obbm
    I've been agonising over this all week. Do I go for it or wait for the Orange Terror Bass. Decisions, decisions.

    [quote name='BassKS' post='536511' date='Jul 9 2009, 03:08 PM']You dont have a John East lying around now do you? :-).[/quote] Only the one in the Sub 5 I have for sale at the moment.

    [quote name='BassKS' post='536481' date='Jul 9 2009, 02:36 PM']Yep. It sounds like were all on the same boat with the Nordies. Im off to San Fran next week and I may order it from Bestbassgear. DOnt know whether its more important to change the pre first or the Pup. Cannot afford both of them.[/quote] In the SR5 I've had an OBP3 (which it came with), a John East and finally a stock EBMM SR5 pre, which I quite like.

    [quote name='Spartacus' post='536465' date='Jul 9 2009, 02:09 PM']Lots of people on their forum have been shot down by Sterling Ball for installing things like diiferent preamps pickups and Status necks.[/quote] Yup. That's why I, for one, rarely go there any more. I have a Stingray 5 which now has a Nordstrand in it. Of all the pick-ups I've tried (MM, SD, Bart, Nord) it is by far and away the cleanest and clearest.

    ideally you should terminate the amp input with a short circuit and then see what noise/hum is generated by the amp itself. If it's different when you plug different basses in then the extra is coming from the basses/cables. The amp is just making that noise louder. A pick-up coil is a very efficient aerial and will attract all sorts of interference. Check your doemstic environment for noise sources such as motors, lighting dimmers, fluorescent tubes, etc. try taking it to the bottom of the garden ad see what happens.
