My modified Lakland Duck Dunn. These are matched split-coil Lindy Fralin pick-ups bought on Ebay from Angelainstruments in the USA. Great tone and zero noise and hum when either is soloed.

[quote name='molan' post='710184' date='Jan 12 2010, 04:29 PM']Anyone else here told him via EBay that they don't think it's genuine? I did so it would only take 2 other people to make his claim of "two" a little suspect. . .[/quote] Yes I've just given him chapter and verse about it and pointed him to the Musicman history web site.

In my catalogue there is the 715 which is 480mm wide but has the amp shown at the top with no DI rated at 130-watts. There is also a matching AH130S stand-alone head. The stand alone head like yours, with DI, is designated AH2007S. I think that means it a 200-watt head, GP7 pre-amp series "S". Other pre-amps that followed were the SM, SMC, SMX, etc. The head is quoted as 400-watt peak power output so you're probably right about the salesman. The fact that yours had the S added probably means that it might have been a customer special or an interim model as they did change the styling quite a bit around then, or even a way of moving some of stock items. Whichever way I would say it's a 715S, 200-watt into 4-ohms.

According to one of my old catalogues the bottom head is an [b]AH2007S[/b] i.e an AH200 with the GP7 pre-amp The 1 x15 combo with that same amp is the 7215 200-watts RMS H: 590mm W:610mm D:335mm I've tried scanning the page but the images are so small that much the detail disappears, even at high resolution.

I've just checked my messages and I still have a copy of the question I asked and the answer.

[quote name='TGEvans' post='707594' date='Jan 10 2010, 12:55 PM']I felt ridiculous saying it but its true. It did make a difference to both my guitars.[/quote] Not that ridiculous. It probably has a lower resistance and therefore subjects the signal to less attenuation.

Welcome and hi from Farnham.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='705908' date='Jan 8 2010, 07:26 PM']still, its not like anyone is going to be ripped off. The reserve was very reasonable given the value of the parts.[/quote] I must disagree. It's a gross misrepresentation. It is NOT a Stingray and someone who doesn't know could well be ripped off thnking they are getting the real deal. Not all potential buyers are as knowledgeable as the BC membership. Anyway where's the battery? The only real parts are probably the neck and the pick-up and they do not add up to a real Ray.

This has been listed before. It's a bitza. Bits from here and bits from there. Genuine pre-EB neck. Body is copy. Pick-up in wrong place. Wrong bridge. Control plate looks home-made. Last time it was up it was reported.

About 2 years ago I bought a pink one of these second-hand off Ebay for £41. It was for my Neice to have a go on the basis that if it was a 5-minute fad then it wasn't going to do much financial damage. Firstly it's a 32-inch scale. When I got it the action was appalling but after a change of strings and a thorough set-up it played reasonably well and sounded very old school. The neck was very thick somewhat like a broom handle. I also had to take a file to the fret ends as they were very sharp and would tear your hands of you were not careful. There is a photo somewhere of Dood playing it at the last National Bass Bash. It has served it's purpose very well (the novelty has worn off) however if I was looking for a project bass I would not get one of these.

If you fancy a trip out into the provinces Jack there are still quite a few in West Surrey. Details [url="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?v=info&gid=5701269558"]here[/url]

They have different profile necks. The DJ has one more fret than the JO The original DJ had Aero pickups whilst the JO had Lindy Fralins. More modern ones have Lakland pick-ups. Of the two I far preferred the DJ5 with the smaller body and deeper growl.

There is no noise/whistle from my PJB D200, well perhaps a bit of noise with all controls fully up, but that is to be expected.

This NV610 was mine for a while. Amazing sound ..... ..... but the size and weight proved too much.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='701166' date='Jan 4 2010, 11:57 PM']Thanks for that clarification, obbm. So in other words, using my two 8 ohm Genz Benz cabinets, I'd get roughly the same kind of output as from my Shuttle 6.0. I was curious, as I've been offered a new LG1000 for a silly price...[/quote] I had one for a while and was singularly unimpressed with it.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='701129' date='Jan 4 2010, 11:27 PM']Am I correct in saying that the amp is rated as "1000w @ 4ohms", so therefore using two 8ohms speaker cabinets will give your 4ohms anyway? Surely this is the case, otherwise they'd advertise the LG1000 as 1000w at 2ohms, wouldn't they?[/quote] LG1000 has 2 separate 500-watt power amps, each of which will deliver 500-watts into 4-ohms. To use 2 x 8-ohm cabs you could use them both on one channel and get 500-watts into the pair or put one on each channel and get about 300-watts into each. There is no way you can get 1000-watts into 4-ohms.

[quote name='Silent Fly' post='699323' date='Jan 3 2010, 11:16 AM']They do but the problem is not in the signal produced by the amp. The majority of the DI outputs of the amps are at [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level"]line-level[/url]. Mixing desks XLR inputs are at microphone level. Microphone level is up to 60 dB lower than line-level. In other words, mixing desks amplify 60 dB more than required by a line level connection. The problem you are experiencing is a signal level matching issue - it is not related to the amp or the mixing desk. In practical terms, the fact that the amp DI delivers a line level signal instead of a mic level signal is a good thing. If you need a line level signal (e.g. for a recording interface) it is already available. If you need to connect the amp to a mic-level device, you just need a simple attenuator. If the amp was delivering a mic level signal, in order to amplify to line-level you would need a preamplifier - a much more expensive device that inevitably would introduce noise.[/quote] Totally agree. "Professional" mixers are capable of handling mic or line on their channel XLR input. Even my Soundcraft Folio could. I suspect the problem lies in the hands of an inexperienced sound operative who doesn't know how, or is too idle or frightened, to adjust the levels correctly.

The bass is a 1996 MIJ jazz. Looking at the Hipshot web site it would appear that I need a BT10. Is this correct?

Just had a mailshot from Soundslive offering 15% off Orange again. That brings the Bass Terror down to £381.65 plus postage. Discount code is "ORA15".

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='692783' date='Dec 24 2009, 08:59 AM']I know 6 ohms is close enough to 8 to be happy, but since its actually 5.3 or so, is the 4 ohm tap more appropriate?[/quote] I asked this very question of Orangeback in March. Mr Elmsley's reply was: [quote]Use the 4 ohm. Its not ideal though! Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device[/quote]

I finally got round to trying mine yesterday with an Epifani UL112. It's very loud and nicely growly with the SR5. Can't wait until the weather warms up and I can try it with the UL310 and the UL212.
