[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1501624498' post='3346091'] Thanks for all the replies. Lot's of guys seem here, and on Facebook seem to like the Lithium Eneloops, so I think I'm going for a few of those . [/quote] Good luck with that...

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1501623847' post='3346082'] I have had, on more than one occasion. The second and third times were because I can be a slow learner. Overweight, didn't sound great. Vastly overrated. That's TE, not me. [/quote] Me too. Sorry Mick !

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1496436357' post='3311502'] If you're daisy-chaining one cab into another from [i]only one[/i] of the speaker outputs will give you an impedance of 12Ω (summing the cab impedances together), [/quote] No, unless there's an unusual arrangement with the speaker leads/wiring, it'll be a parallel connection (2.6 Ohm) just the same.

[quote name='Powertripper' timestamp='1489244126' post='3255441'] ...if I ran from amp > cab 1 (4ohm) > cab 2 (8ohm) in series... [/quote] Unless you use special/custom speaker cables, the connections will be parallel.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1486866851' post='3235175'] There are a lot of EVO heads around pretty cheap, but they don't have the graphic, or have 7 bands. [/quote] Don't the ABM's all have 7 band eq ?

From an old thread that I stumbled upon while looking into these a while ago: ---x--- The MOSFET version was dumped around '98 due to reliability issues, in favor of a bipolar transistor design. The MOSFET versions would literally go up in flames, and you cannot get a MOSFET replacement PCB, only a bipolar retrofit. Another reason why it was dumped can be the fact that it used lateral MOSFETs (most probably 2SK135/2SJ... from Hitachi) which are not manufactured any more and replacements are expensive. Also DBX integrated circuits are not manufacured any more (at least to my knowledge). ---x--- I've no idea if any of that's fact...

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1484397100' post='3215177'] I've done some googling at it was probably a 1 or a 1A [/quote] Sounds like a 1, rather than a 1a, assuming it"s original and not modded. The 1 is passive, just vol/tone and no switches. Might say on the truss rod cover.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1483611472' post='3208613'] This is a shame, I`ve always had great service from them, couldn`t fault it at all. [/quote] Same for me.

The Super 12 is G2, and has ports on the side. http://barefacedbass.com/which-barefaced.htm

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1480687672' post='3186431'] I'd go Yamaha BB424X if I were you... [/quote] +1

[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1480493838' post='3184746'] It took ages to get right ... and sounded awful. [/quote] ???

The B3 only allows 3 effects, rather than 5 on the B1. It also doesn't have an aux input or an expression pedal built in - although you can add one. I haven't scrutinised the effects lists, but they're pretty much the same IIRC. In a gig situation, I'd take the B3 every time. For me it's much easier to use - the 3 footswitches can be used just like they're individual pedals - and much easier to tweak 'on the fly'. And it's 3x the price...

Yup, parallel. 2 x 8 Ohm = 4 Ohm.

Hmm...that's the opposite of how my BB1024 truss rod adjustment works.

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1479035646' post='3173401'] The necks on the 414/614 are better IMHO than the 424/1024. [/quote] Better? Or just different, but more to your liking?

Beware Vintage (brand) instruments. Not that there's anything really wrong with them (perfectly decent Wilkinson hardware) but the neck pocket isn't "standard" Fender sized.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1476384122' post='3153887'] This could very well be in one of the holiday camps though as so many of them are [/quote] Yup - Butlins. http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/bigweekends/rb2017/

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1476178682' post='3151947'] As an old git, to who all this feedback malarkey is a recent, eBay inspired thing, I'd say that it isn't one's right, having sold something, to expect or demand feedback, praise, or whatever. If you offer an item for sale and someone buys it and doesn't ask for their money back, that' the end of it. You have no right to a pat on the back. If you get one, it's a bonus. You have taken their money, after all. It isn't as if you gave them a present. The same applies if you buy from someone. You pay them for an item they own. It's a fair exchange. Praise and stroking isn't part of the deal. [/quote] It's nothing to do with praise or stroking or a pat on the back. It's about giving others in the community an idea of the kind of ride to expect when you (potentially) enter into a deal with a total stranger, with basically no form of redress should things go awry.

Not used them myself, but I do use rehearsal rooms in Stevenage who use Mal for all of their "running repairs" and speak well of him.

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1474659492' post='3139745'] I had a L2000 Tribute for about a year. Wonderfully versatile tonally, well built [/quote] An L2000 Trinute is the only G&L I've had my hands on. I found all the knobs & switches confusing, and the frets were awful

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1473883479' post='3133909'] I have the same with one of mine but the other is fine, both are the same age [/quote] Me too...

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1472773743' post='3124237'] Nope, plug in failed to load, meaning no video is visible. [/quote] Is this in the app, or your normal broswer? Do you have Flash installed?

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1473451310'] I don't think I've ever seen a pro band with music stands / tablets etc on stage. [/quote] I recall seeing video of Bruce Springsteen (possibly on Youtube, I can't remember) doing some big stadium gig, where a quick snip of footage shows that what appears to be a monitor at front of stage is, in fact, an autocue with scrolling lyrics...
