    [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1488702328' post='3251075'] Doesn't it need a buffer? Something like [url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/mpm-01.html"]this[/url]? [/quote] Funny you bring that up Gareth, I was talking to John about exactly this item at the show today.

    That was my initial thought. There is no mixing stage as such, it's the same as a 2 x vol Jazz where the pick-ups are across the pots and the sliders of the pots are joined and feed the pre-amp. It's very weird. Piezo vol at zero, soapbar at max, turn down the Soapbar vol and the sound goes down and off but the waveform goes up.

    With that Bulgin mains connector and a pair of KT66 bottles I would say it was an early one. You could email Marshall and ask them to check from the serial number.

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1488645977' post='3250764'] Back of the net! [/quote] Sadly not. Explored a bit further with oscilloscope. Soapbar and volume control seem to work fine however I can hear that the control is only working over the last few degrees. Interesting as I wind the Soapbar volume control down the waveform increases in amplitude but the bass output drops off. It must be some kind of interaction between the Soapbar, the Fishman Piezo and the OBP3 pre-amp. How do you start to unravel this one?

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1488636270' post='3250654'] Sounds like the pot itself might be faulty. [/quote] Doh. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I've just had the cavity cover off and got in their with my meter and yes it's a faulty pot. Time to activate the warranty.

    [quote name='obbm' timestamp='1488478086' post='3249331'] I have 2 free tickets for Sunday if anyone wants them. I bought my ticket for Sunday a few weeks ago but just for fun entered a competition and have just won two tickets. First come first served. [/quote] Both tickets now gone to new owners.

    I contacted Spector and they just said turn down the Fishman, so not a lot of help. I think I'll take it up with Spector and Bass Direct at the show on Sunday.

    A couple of months ago I bought a Spector CTB Fretless. It has a Fishman Piezo bridge and an Aguilar DCB soapbar through an Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp. I have found a huge volume difference between the Fishman and the Aguilar even with the Fishman pre-amp turned down to minimum. Compared to the Fishman the Aguilar output is very very low because I have to crank the gain on the amp to get a usable volume and then back off the Fishman by more than 50%. Also the volume control on the Aguilar is acting almost as an On/Off switch because I only have to turn the pot down a few degrees and the sound has gone. Definitely something not right. Any thoughts on this?

    If anyone else wants tickets for Sunday, I have two going begging. It would be a shame to shred them.

    I have a Fischer ButtKicker Mini LFE ( [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/fischer_amps_buttkicker_mini_lfe.htm?ref=search_rslt_fischer_111973_0"]https://www.thomann.de/gb/fischer_amps_buttkicker_mini_lfe.htm?ref=search_rslt_fischer_111973_0 ) [/url]attached to my stool and it is certainly not limited to a single frequency. It's driven through a sub-woofer filter which cuts off anything above about 270Hz. I used it on a recent gig fed with my bass and a kick drum mic and it was excellent. Because I could feel the bass I didn't need my amp too loud and was able to do the gig wit my hearing aids in. Next stage is to build a small Pleasure Board device on which I can stand or use any stool and see how it goes.

    A quick bump for these excellent cabs. Steve and I played in a band together some years ago and he is a great guy to deal with.
  14. obbm
    I have a former band mate who now lives up near you who is involved in Open Mic/Jam nights at Marehay and Hallfieldgate. Any use to you?

    Very nice Si. Takes me back about 10 years when I had a DJ4 that I bought on Ebay from Nick OldHorseMurphy - that was before I knew he was a BC member. I really liked smaller body and the superb neck.

    I shall be there on the Sunday. if anyone needs any cables then I can bring them with me and save you the postage.

    Does your SD pick-up have the phantom coil underneath? If so you will have to rethink any coil-switching because it's part of the pre-amp circuitry.

    Back in the early days, 2005 & 2006 I think, we had two national Bass Bashes at a hotel just off the M1 near Northampton.

    Well I just tried to buy a ticket in the name of my company, Rock-Wire Limited, but because I do not have a VAT number I was unable to do so. Not all companies are registered for VAT. Also the ticket web site is a dreadful design, asking for the same information to be entered 3 times and putting a time limit on data entry. Not a good way to encourage people to buy tickets. {/rant]

    Another motorway service area meeting to drink coffee, move a Berg speaker from one car to another and activate an on-line payment by phone- the wonders of modern technology. Thanks Kev. Enjoy the cab. I hope your B.O.T.B. entry is successful.

    Bergantino CN212 including padded Berg cover. Very little use and always treated with great care so in excellent condition apart from a small indentation on the top. This is probably the best cab I have ever owned however the way things are now I cannot realistically justify keeping it. I bought this when I was gigging with a loud covers band but those days are over and it has had very little use over the past couple of years.

    What a shame that in their desire to make the ELF as small as possible they have reverted to the antiquated 1/4-inch jack for the speaker output rather than the more robust and secure Speakon.

    I've just checked and the outer that I cut from Sommer LLX cable and throw away slips nicely over a 2.1mm plug. If you are passing anytime Colin you can have a few.
