i've currently got this on my desk at work

[quote name='Hit&Run' post='116044' date='Jan 8 2008, 07:49 AM']Theoretically, the British Library keeps a copy of every book ever published (in this country?)...[/quote]

published in the UK, yes....i know this, cos i work there.

relic-ing is nothing but posing....


and posing is for w@nkers

i'm very happy with my tannoy reveal 6's

[quote name='joegarcia' post='115379' date='Jan 7 2008, 12:56 PM']Sell it to me for £550. :-)[/quote]


/eyes in trance/


why of course....

actually, i'm being a bit sneaky....

i'm not thinking of [i]buying[/i]...quite the opposite in fact

thanks for the info

[quote name='Hamster' post='115171' date='Jan 7 2008, 01:31 AM']You didn't put much power into it - really sounds like a dodgy track. Can you get a refund / replacement?

Hamster[/quote]

as i mentioned, i binned it...


if i decide to go for another amp sim, i'll think i'll save up for a sansamp...and this time keep it clear of electric mistresses !

[quote name='Hamster' post='115159' date='Jan 7 2008, 01:12 AM']3V difference won't burn a pcb track out - that takes amps. What's the current draw of the pedal @ 9v - and what's the rated amps of the 12v supply you plugged into it? If it draws amps well in excess of it's requirements it's most likely a direct short.

Hamster[/quote]

i suppose it's possible the track was a dud...and something finally gave in the end. the supply was rated 12v @500mA

just a quick question - anyone know the going rate for a sabre ?

i've checked on ebay and can't seem to find any, even in te completed listings...

[quote name='BassManKev' post='115118' date='Jan 7 2008, 12:14 AM']it doesnt sound normal for a 9v to fry like that from a 12v supply[/quote]


unless i just got a dud in the first place

as i said '...or somesuch'

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='114913' date='Jan 6 2008, 07:45 PM']Just a quick ask but would any other manufacturers similar product had the same end result? I only ask as I've had a few Behringer products just die in a very short life span and for seemingly obvious things that wouldn't have killed other manufacturers stuff![/quote]

all i did was bung 12v into it rather than 9v...i guess it's just behringer build quality or somesuch

[quote name='David Nimrod' post='114917' date='Jan 6 2008, 07:52 PM']Any way you could just send it back and get a replacement?

Unlikely I know, but could be worth a try...[/quote]

possibly, if i hadn't just pulled it apart to see what was wrong and junked it.

bit hasty i know, but with the amount they cost, i hardly thought it was worth the bother, should i decide to get another one.

brilliant !

thanks for the info

yup...accidentally plugged the wrong power supply nto it ans pffft...it's dead - big burnt track on the pcb.

i think i'm cursed when it comes to amp simulators...my sansamp was taken out by a malfunctioning electric mistress...


not sure i'm going to bother replacing it.


/sigh/

if you're in london i've got a 'santa ana' (i.e. no-brand) acoustic bass that i'm looking to get rid of. not a bad player and you won't need an amp of course !!!

something like £50 ?

[quote name='martthebass' post='114835' date='Jan 6 2008, 06:23 PM']To continue the pedantic theme - Silicone contains silicon so in principle if the polish contains silicone it also contains silicon (just not elemental silicon).[/quote]

i know...but that seemed pedant overload, even for me....

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='114786' date='Jan 6 2008, 04:55 PM']Stay away from Mr. Sheen, that has silicon in and that makes finishing pro's angry. Everyone hates silicon. Unless it hasn't got silicon in and I made that up. Natural beeswax, Rustins wood finishing products are all good.[/quote]


some polishes may contain silicone, but not silicon


sorry if i sound pedantic, but there's quite a difference...

couldn't see these in the sticky so...


i) does anyone know the dimensions of the badass III (a diagram would be nice) ?

ii) do they have the same problem with not being able to have an action as low as the stock fender bridge ?


many thanks

that's a cryings shame - i used to go in there quite a bit when i lived in newcastle.

he did good quality work for next to nothing - fitting nuts, set-ups and stuff.

i bought my musicman sabre from him as well (for £550 !!!)

sad to hear about his heart attack...glad he's getting better tho'



/raises glass/ here's to howard !!!

mains powered and valve driven ?

an aria td-1 platinum drive ? i'm more than happy with mine...no blend i'm afraid, but the eq is very good - you'll lose no bottom end

i've had my eye on a '81 for a while now.

i use an aria td-1 platinum overdrive for overdrive sounds and a ehx little big muff for full-on grind

none

(well, two radio sessions...)

that's a nice bit o' wood !!!!
