  1. Does it do it if the amp is not on top of the cab?

  3. Green Neutrik 2-pole Speakons can take 1/4-inch jacks.
  4. Just spent a very pleasant couple of hours with Pete chatting about bass as he tried out and bought the Sadowsky UV70. Such a fount of bass knowledge and a real pleasure to deal with. Thank you Pete.
  5. I did some more searching last night and this is the Bacchus Japanese site. [url="http://www.deviser-bacchus.com/products/universe-series-bass/wjb-mini/"]http://www.deviser-bacchus.com/products/universe-series-bass/wjb-mini/[/url]
  6. As a new owner of a Spector Shorty I've been following this thread with interest to see what else is about. Whilst browsing the web I came across Artist Guitars from Australia which are sold through Ebay in the UK. They have this offering, [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302111817714?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.u...353.m1438.l2649[/url] I thought it looked familiar and when compared to the Harley Benton it would appear to be the same instrument probably made in the exact same Chinese factory. Only difference is the price. What does interest me is this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332037759106?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332037759106[/url] I wonder if they do a fretless version and other colours?
  7. [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1479289620' post='3175300'] I have to ask, did BFC stand for "Big F****ng Cab"? [/quote] I seem to remember reading somewhere that BFC stood for [i]Bass Frequency Cabinet[/i] but maybe that was because they had to come up with a more polite name for it.
  8. [quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1479248554' post='3175127'] I kinda want one of those cabs to pair with my Trace V6. My 30 watt Park by Marshall combo is probably sufficient for my needs at the moment though. [/quote] Unfortunately it would not work with a V6.
  9. You might be thinking of the BFC which was a 1x15 and two 2 x10 in one cab. Effectively three cabs in one each of 4-ohms so it needed an amp with 3 power channels like the AH1000 to drive it. Ha Ha. Beaten to it by the Dood.
  10. [quote name='Buzzy' timestamp='1479202431' post='3174648'] Also Jah Wobble Live tomorrow (Wednesday) 10:30 p.m. Strange channel Vintage TV, mostly endless videos that haven't stood the test of time but the occasional must see live session. Always worth checking the schedule. [/quote] This was recorded about a month ago.
  11. Nik Kershaw recorded at The Water Rats with Paul Geary on bass. Freeview‎: ‎Channel 82‎ Sky‎: ‎Channel 369‎ Virgin Media‎: ‎Channel 343‎ Freesat‎: ‎Channel 505‎
  12. To the top.

  14. I have a Westfield Mini-Precision. Interesting beast. Although it is about 24-inch scale it uses regular size pick-up and bridge so the string spacing is the same as a full scale instrument. Currently strung with flats, it sounds really good. Westfield were a Scottish company based in East Kilbride. They went out of business in 2013 however instruments regularly appear on Ebay although I have yet to see another like mine.
  15. Monday bump
  16. I've got 5 you can have. 1x Flat, 4 x Round. PM your name/address and I'll put them in the post

    3x10/12 users?

    Most cabs that have 3 speakers as well as some with 6 speakers are 5.3-ohms i.e 3 x 16-ohm speakers in parallel. I have a 4-ohm 2x12 and an 8-ohm 1x12 which if used together would be 2.67-ohms and this set-up can be used with an amp capable of running with a 2-ohm load. Also because all the speakers are the same impedance, the power would be distributed evenly between the three drivers.
  18. A few days ago I took delivery of a new Spector Shorty. Doug Wimbush neck, Aguilar PJ pickups, OBP2 pre-amp. Not over keen on the colour, looks more like camo than black/gold but I wanted a PJ and this was the only one available at the pre-Brexit price. I suppose I can always get it refinished at a later date. Fantastic feel and tone and ideal for my small hands. Also very light.
  19. I remember Bruce Welch saying that Cliff and The Shadows joined the Entertainment Industry. At that time there was no Music Industry. It only began with and after The Beatles.
  20. [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1478027906' post='3166198'] [url="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cliff+richard+roll+over+beethoven+new+single"]http://www.youtube.c...oven+new+single[/url] oh dear, is this really the same bloke that made one of the best British Rock and Roll records (Move It) it's been downhill ever since, his voice is just too damned polite [/quote] He might sound polite but his diction is, and always has been, very clear. At least you can hear the words. I like that.

  22. I recently put some on a 25-inch scale bass however I modified the strings first: Cutting them to the overall length to suit the instrument Putting some heatshrink onto where I wanted to outer winding to end to seal it, just behind the nut Pealing back the outer layers until I had a size suitable for winding onto the tuners Worked a treat. however I suggest you first try it on some old scrap strings.
