[quote name='Stacker' post='881687' date='Jun 30 2010, 10:34 AM']With respect, where did you get this information from? I can't find anything on(or even knew of) the second 250K pot in a the original stack circuit. And just to clarify: the detented washer [u][b]was[/b][/u] used in the 1960 model.[/quote] I found it on the web somewhere a couple of years ago which is why I did it. Maybe even Talkbass. It doesn't worry me whether it's original or not, I'm afraid I don't get hung up on things like that. It just works very well which is good enough for me

[quote name='BassBod' post='881653' date='Jun 30 2010, 09:56 AM']Customised pots...now that's just a bit clever! I would ask how, but I'm sure I couldn't manage that, and there are far better qualified people who will be asking you the same thing. I'll leave it to them. But still very clever.[/quote] If you ever want this done, get the bits and send them to me. i'm quite happy to do it for you.

All the information I have managed to obtain points to the original stack-knob pots being 250K/250K which you can't buy any more. I bought a pair of CTS 250K/500K and a pair of CTS 250K pots and performed surgery to create 250K/250K. They work very well and the tone controls have a much better range than with 500K.

[quote name='Simon.' post='880699' date='Jun 29 2010, 10:09 AM']Obbm - if you could wait until September, I'll have a cash injection and very probably take this off your hands! Can't believe this great looking bass hasn't sold yet...[/quote] I'm in no rush to sell, which is why I haven't bumped it recently. Basses like this will evetually sell in their own good time, one just has to be patient. Keep me posted.

[quote name='jonnyj' post='872248' date='Jun 19 2010, 11:03 PM']I know lightweight and valve dont go together. But I want to know what is the lightest valve amp going. At the moment I am looking at the ORANGE TERROR BASS 500. What seperates this from regular valve amps, and can somebody comment on their sound. I am just looking for a list of amps names really, however any info/advice is welcome. Cheers.[/quote] The Terror Bass 500 is hybrid amp. Valve pre-amp but a digital solid-state power stage so that is why it's light. There have been several reviews here and an excellent video demo. The Search function will help you find them.

I can thoroughly recommend the Sony MDR-XB700. Serious headphones and not outrageously expensive. Excellent right down to low B.

I think the fact that it's all one space does make a difference. I have compared 2 x Epi UL112 against a UL212, which are comparable in volume, the UL212 sounds much much deeper. As they say "there ain't no sustitute for cubic inches". No doubt Alex will put us to rights.

[quote name='Bassman' post='868725' date='Jun 16 2010, 08:34 AM']The first serie from Epifani is heavier than series 2. And it's heavier as old Mesa or Ampeg Cab. I could, when I went to the Geert's house (wombatboter here on basschat), test the difference between old and new cab from Epifani. Ask him also for speakers use in. :beers:[/quote] Actually there have been 3 ranges of speakers. The original, and first series of cabs were the T-series. These were seriously heavy and used non-Neo speakers. Next came the original UL series which are very light. These used B&C Neo speakers. Finally there is the current UL series 2 which are slightly heavier than the original UL-series and use custom Eminence Neo speakers.

Just bought a rather excellent Godin A5 Fretless from Zapp(Dave). Very smooth transaction and it arrived quickly in first class order. Cheers Dave.

After much deliberation I have decided that these have to go so I can acquire something smaller/lighter. Top cab is the UL112, series 1, 8-ohm. Owned from new and complete with Epifani branded cover. £300 + carriage or collect or meet. Bottom cab is a T112NYC, 8-ohm. Also owned from new. This is the previous non-Neo range. It is voiced differently from the UL112 and sounds much deeper. £250 + carriage or collect or meet. As a pair they make a very loud and punchy rig. I could be interested in trades involving a Phil Jones Briefcase or an Epifani UL110 or a EA 10" Wizzy. BTW Amp rack went ages ago.
