[/quote] This reminded me of another Spitfire themed movie "The First Of The Few" and Williams Walton's Spitfire Prelude and Fugue.

Richard Rodney Bennett's superb score for "Murder On The Orient Express" especially as the train pulls out of Istanbul and gathers speed. Pure musical poetry

Actually it's always played well and sounded good which is why I bought it in the first place. The questioning of originality would never have occurred had I not taken the neck off to check as I was changing the strings. I should probably have done it sooner, but hey, we're never too old to learn. I've not used Rotosound strings for years however it was Billy Sheehan, I think, at the Bass Guitar Show, who commented that the majority of hit records had been made with Fender Precisions strung with Rotosound strings. I thought I'd give them a try and I'm not disappointed.

Recently purchased a set of Rotosounds from Daniel. A no fuss transaction. Top man.

Thanks guys. I can relax and just enjoy its great tone with a new set of Rotosounds.

A couple of years ago I bought an advertised 1973 Precision with an refinished neck from a well known purveyor of bass equipment. I thought it was time to check and document it so today I've had the neck off and had a look at the stamps and pots. So what date do the Fender experts reckon this is? Neck has the name David stamped on the heel. I paid good money for this on the basis that it was a 1973. I think I've been conned.

So it's one of these then:

Here are some PUBLISHED features: -Lightweight receiver with clip for easy wearing -Capable of telephoning using built-in microphone on receiver -Headphones: EX 9 mm / Stereo -Microphone: Built-in / Mono-Bluetooth® version 2.0 A2DP / HSP / HFP -With volume control-Battery life: 11 hours (100 hours in standby mode) -Charging via cradle (supplied) -Supplied with rechargeable Li-ion battery -Headphone cord: 0.4 m-Dimensions (W x H x D): 17 x 67 x 34 mm Was used occasionally when new but has sat in a box for several years as my hearing aids have it all built in. In good condition and comes with charging station and original manual. Tested it with my Ipad earlier and the headphone part works fine but I am unable to test the mic/phone interface. Collection welcome or post at your cost.

Pink is fine. I have an MIJ '96 Anniversary Jazz which I acquired many years ago through this Forum. It has all the signs of being heavily used both by the original owner and myself. I found that the original white scratch plate was a bit too in-your-face so I changed it to a Tort. This was taken before I changed back to a VVT control plate.

OP, is your AH600SM covered in black vinyl or green carpet because according to the Trace brochures that I have the two versions are indeed different?

I had the great pleasure of seeing 10CC do a warm-up gig at Farnham Maltings last December prior to their Xmas tour opening for Quo. Superb evening especially their acapella Verizon of Donna. Great band, memorable songs.

Just be aware that the bridge pick-up of the MIJ '75 reissue is not in the 70's position.

[quote name='Urban Lions' timestamp='1430560690' post='2762566'] But when I plug my 150w amp into it all the speakers are working. [/quote] In that case it looks as if it, or your cable, been modified so without knowing what's been done it'll be impossible to suggest how to use it.

I had a BFC for a while and came to the conclusion that to make any sense of it with anything other than an AH1000 then I would have to change the speakers and rewire it. For the OPs information the internal wiring is like this. If you are using it with a mono amp and a normal Speakon (1+/1-) lead then you will just be driving the 15" section which is rated at 500-watts.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428355816' post='2740593'] I believe the reason for the perception of 'heft' in valve power amp transformers is due to 'sag'. As I understand it, 'sag' refers to the reduction of the power supply voltage in response to large transient signals which lends an important dynamic 'feel' to the amp that is not found in solid state amps... I could be wrong of course, as I'm no techie. But I do know the most 'heft' I've ever experienced in 40 years of playing bass has been from all-valve amps. [/quote] Early all-valve guitar amps used valve rectifiers, such as EZ80, EZ81 and GZ34. These were very good at 'heft'. This has got me thinking that one way forward might be a simple 3-watt amp with valve rectifier driving a DI transformer.
