I bought the stock Lindy Fralin pick-up for this from Peter with a view to putting it into my DD. In the end I've fitted a Wizard Thumper. Whoever buys this bass can buy the Lindy at what I paid for it plus postage and put it back to original. -
Very Good Steve. Good luck with it.

Thanks to all who have responded. I feel like a Call Centre with 4 potential buyers all held in an orderly queue.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='172848' date='Apr 9 2008, 08:54 AM']Absoluetly no trades what so ever? i really really want one of these but have nothing in the way of cash. -Jake[/quote] I'm after a new bass and unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't take cabs, or anything else for that matter, in part exchange.

Since I got my two 1x12s I haven't gigged this cab in over 2 years. I'm no longer gigging regularly so reluctantly I'm going to have to let it go. £500 including custom soft cover. No offers or trades please.

I've been approached by a member to supply some long mains leads. I can get some 6-metre moulded leads but like all things the more you buy the better the price and the lower the postage. Anyone interested in any at £5-each plus postage from me to you?

[quote name='The Burpster' post='171783' date='Apr 7 2008, 09:32 PM']Dave, Whilst that twin from Maplin isn't cheap, it would make a fantastic start for the effects loop? BTW what braided sheath did you use? I can blagg Blk Nylon stuff from my dads old employer (the stuff they used to make up welding cables with- same idea different leads....) but wondered if you had some 'pretty' stuff... ? Bob.[/quote] No just the black ribbed. Alright I lied about the ribbing.

[quote name='OldGit' post='171767' date='Apr 7 2008, 09:18 PM']Tried OBBM?[/quote] Yes he has. Studiospares do a very acceptable Stereo Mic cable which I have used for stereo guitar leads. Also I have a drum of stereo cable with two individually screened cable inside a single round jacket. Great for stereo jack cables but no good if you want to come out to separate jacks.

[quote name='super.rad' post='169232' date='Apr 3 2008, 04:13 PM']Plugged my bass (P-Bass copy) into the amp on friday at band practice and it was buzzing really loudly, i could barely hear what i was playing over the noise. Eventually worked out it was the tone pot, I always have it on full but the only way to stop the noise was to turn it completely down. Had 2 gigs on the weekend where i had to play with it completely down, luckily managed to get it sounding alright by fiddling with the amp's eq. Need to fix the bass now but I'm thinking as the tone is always on full (I play punk) would it work just to wire the bass without a tone control? If so could someone please find a wiring diagram. Thanks[/quote] The best place would be the support section on www.fender.com. They have all the wiring diagrams.

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='168340' date='Apr 2 2008, 12:49 PM']So those could be wired in series to 16 ohms or 15 like what one of my simms watts pumps out. Interesting[/quote] No! The speakers are 15-ohms each and are currently wired in parallel to make a nominal 8-ohms. I'll see if I can get the back off and have a look.

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='168228' date='Apr 2 2008, 10:50 AM']What ohms is the 2x15? Cheers[/quote] Steve it says 6-ohms but Charlie Watkins was always a bit odd about these things. I haven't had the back off but I suspect that it's actually 2 x 15/16-ohm drivers in parallel. They were specified as 80-watts handling.

I've come to the decision that I don't need two 5-strings and as I will never part with my Status Stingray 5 this one has to go. Lakland Skyline Daryl Jones 5-string with maple fretboard and black scratch plate. It has Aero pick-ups, is strung with DR Lo-Riders and fitted with a J-Retro which combine to give a beautiful growly tone and a killer Low B. Virtually unblemished apart from a small knock on the end of the headstock. It has a Warwick Rockcase and comes with the original white scratch plate and a Jeanies Mirror plate as well as the fitted black one. Shaller straplock buttons are fitted and I will include the Lakland originals. Before anyone asks, I am not interested in trades so it's £850 and I would prefer collection/delivery/meet. If it has to be posted then I will get a quote for the carriage which will be extra. I shall also be advertising it in my ebay store. -

What a great day. Highpoints were playing Merton's Retroactive and G77s Streamliner plus realising that I could lift Dood's Epi UL610 on my own. Thanks ped for organising. Thanks Woodenshirt for Sarnies. Thanks Rich for cup of tea. Thanks Merton and G77 for giving me Status gas yet again.

It depends whether you want it to still sound like a Stingray. I bought an SR5 in 2003 that had an OBP3 and a Bartolini in it. I didn't like the Bart so I changed it for an SD and then a Nordstrand. It had a really nice clean sound but it wasn't an SR5 anymore. It's took me almost 5 years to track down and fit an genuine SR5 pick-up and pre-amp and then it sounded like an SR5 but I didn't like it. It was just a bit coarse, if you know what I mean, so I put the Nordstrand back in. All is now right. Before swapping out the pre-amp consider changing the pick-up.

[quote name='Tee' post='165901' date='Mar 29 2008, 03:32 PM']and a Duck Dunn, or whatever it's called (do they only come in red sparkle?)[/quote] It's a signature bass named after Duck Dunn, see above for potted biog. It only comes in Candy Apple Red and as standard with a Lindy Fralin pick-up. There is the option of a dark Star pick-up.
