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 !!!!

sorry to hear about it jono...i had this many years ago...a result of too much keyboard work (directory enquiries) and band bass habit. fingers crossed that with a bit of rest and posture re-think you'll be ok. the killer was that i had to stop playing bass for a few weeks...but it was worth it in the long run. fingers crossed for you mano
