ICBW (don't really get this technical stuff) but I think it's single coil. Having said that, I swapped the stock bridge PUP in my Tanglewater Classic J for one of these, and it's quiet as a church mouse. (I think it was Tel's recommendation that prompted me to do so, in which case, I thank you sah... I'm sure there are better (whatever that means...) J PUPs out there...but for a tenner? There was nothing really wrong tonally with the stock Tanglewater PUP, but it was always a bit weedy compared with the P. Swapping in the Entwistle one has made it more balanced volume wise, added a bit more punch solo'd, and makes it sound more growly blended with the P.

Another BDI-21 user here - never had a problem going straight to desk with it. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1395360323' post='2401712'] i'm intreaged why it didn't work at all. Did you have any attenuator pads turned off ? [/quote] Beat me to it.

[quote name='jetofuj' timestamp='1395145853' post='2399115'] My old Acoustic 220 head is like 26,5" wide Finding that wide bass cab is painful though - even most 8x10 are narrower. [/quote] Fits perfick atop a model 404, IIRC

Yup - I had some of Rich's lovely thumbtests as well. Very pleased with 'em. Cheers Rich...top job.

FWIW, for a small vocal only PA in pubs etc, we use a Yamaha EMX powered mixer. Great bit of kit IMO.

I'm now the owner of Adam's Zoom R16, after a super smooth transaction. Couldn't be happier. Cheers.

I posted about this on 14th Feb in the 'search engine aggro' thread. No response, so I assumed it was just me...

Whereabouts in Cambs are you? I've not used him myself, but I've heard good things of Terry Chapman in Stevenage. /edit/ tjcguitars.com

I kinda like the black, but with the rw fingerboard it sorta looks like they forgot to paint the headstock. IMO, YMMV etc...

I remember your problems, but ISTM that the OPs problem here is with the retailer, hence my previous post. Does that retailer sell Yamaha/Aguilar/QSC/whatever ? If they do, and could conceivably balls up a warranty repair/replacement of a.n.other brand in the same way (after all, any brand can, and do, have failures) should we boycott those brands too ?

I think you've misread the situation.

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1393415269' post='2379879'] Barkin - 486 trade for some rests if you want? [/quote] Cheers Rich - let me confirm, then we can work something out. Might be a few days though - laid up with a bad back at the mo', but as soon as I can walk again...

Good stuff Rich ! I think I'd prefer less of a chamfer. That way, if it's not enough I can let rip with the sandpaper I'll have 2 mate - plus one of the ali ones. ps - think I've found a 486, if you're still looking?

I'd put it between bass & amp.

Yeah - was a shame. I'd still look at another in the future though. But disappointing nonetheless - I'd got the nod from The Financial Controller as well...!

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1392845293' post='2373537'] Can only second the G&L Tribute motion. [/quote] Hmm...I keep reading this, but I'd not had my grubby paws on one until last weekend. Perhaps I just happened upon a bad 'un, but I was very disappointed - the fretwork especially I thought was poor, and overall it just felt cheap to me. I didn't bother plugging it in... At that kinda price point, I'd take a Tanglewater any day.

It's black plastic that I'm really after, but I could use a single ali one. Cheers,

I've a Gator 2U ABS case that, I'm pretty certain, would take a 450mm amp OK. It's bigger than I need, so I'd be up for a trade for a shallow one...

The search feature doesn't work properly, for me, on the mobile site (iPhone). When I select a forum to search, then press 'done', the 'search in forum' reverts to blank. Noticed this a while ago, and seeing this thread just prompted me to mention it...

Yup - I'd have 3 or 4.

When I bought some Schaller-type (but not Schaller) strap locks for my Tanglewater, I didn't bother with the strap button bit. The ones there were almost (as near as makes no difference) exactly the same size/shape.

[quote name='sam-davies' timestamp='1391507838' post='2357811'] Has anyone seen RHCP live? I haven't and am wondering whether it's worth it if the opportunity comes around. [/quote] Not seen 'em myself - not really my cuppa tea - but a drummer mate, who's a fan, saw them at Knebworth a couple of years ago. Underwhelming was how he described it.

Might have something...I've a load more crap in the loft that I haven't looked at yet. Drop me a PM to jog my memory - I'll take a look at the weekend if I get chance.
