[quote name='BassBunny' post='1120437' date='Feb 8 2011, 06:54 PM']Why not just send them to Wembley Loudspeakers and get them overhauled? They will be as good as, (if not better than new)

I hadn't thought of that, nice one. I'll ring them tomorrow, though the drivers are in a terrible state.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys, appreciate it.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1120398' date='Feb 8 2011, 06:34 PM']Very hard to get PAS driver info.

Companies in the U.S say they have replacement kits but I don't believe these are PAS so cannot be sure how well this works. It would certainly be cheaper in the U.S to mess around with their advertised options ..but not to get them over here, IME.

Other companies might say they can recone...but then don't come up with the equiv spec/rating, IME.
I contacted PAS/SWR company in Germany but again not cheap.
At the time I enquired Fender were in the service loop but that was useless as well.

If it were me..I would buy a cheap Goliath 4x10 ll/lll which will be a far better cab, IMV, for him, and then you can keep the old one.[/quote]


Ive seen 'replacement SWR Goliath drivers' on ebay from the US for £90, but when you factor in shipping and the customs sting its not worth it - plus I wouldn't be confident in how authentic they were either.

Fender are useless in my experience too.

I am currently looking at a couple of old Goliaths at the moment and might end up doing exactly as you suggest.

[quote name='thebassman' post='1120321' date='Feb 8 2011, 05:31 PM']Sounds a bit obvious, but have you tried getting one out, checking for part numbers and googleing it.
Some one might have them listed.

Cheers

Yep, was a dead end for me.

I've got an IBS 4 x 10 cab. Its surprisingly good, took me ages to find out what it was, never seen a Marshall bass cab like it. Would love another one, or the 2x15 or 4x12 to go with it. Any ideas? Do you have any of this gear?

I need to replace all the drivers in my 90s SWR Goliath III 4 x 10. (grey hammered grille, not chrome or diamond shape).
I think the originals are PAS or possibly Eminence but exact info is scarce.

Thomann do OEM replacement speakers (they're listed as SWR speakers so still don't know what they really are) for £131 each. As I need 4 this is too expensive.

I want to get the original speakers, or at least equivalent quality. It belongs to my step father who wants it back as he's playing again (I've been abusing it the past few years), so putting cheapies in there won't do. But surely I can get good enough drivers for less than that?? The Celestion green and orange labels don't cut it, checked the specs and they don't seem to have great excursion.

Also, concerned with just getting some really good ones and hoping for the best as they may not be suited to the cab. Ideally I want to know what the original fitment is so I can try to find them elsewhere for cheaper if possible.

Any advice from your speaker boffins would be much appreciated! Thanks guys.

Hi folks

Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver 3-Channel Programmable DI

You know the score on these. Mine is in fine condition in the looks and sound department, comes with box.
Love these pedals, I just don't need the 3 channels anymore.

Ideally looking to trade for a Sansamp VT Bass (the little one) or some variation of a DHA valve drive bass DI/OD, or £130 including UK postage + sturdy packaging. Will do PO, cheque, bank transfer, PayPal (if you do the fees).

Don't have a photo to hand right now but will sort one asap.

Thanks a lot

[quote name='sockdeluxe_mikey' post='1096077' date='Jan 20 2011, 10:15 AM']Hello all! Originally posted in 'Amps for Sale' because I'm stupid.

I have this particular Dave Hall Amps pedal for sale. I originally had this for sale a few months ago but when the buyer received it, he unfortunately found that the Boost and I/P knobs were crackly (to my huge bemusement). I have kept this pedal safe since then, but it doesn't seem to be a profound problem at all. It seems like a pretty big build up of dust on the pots because when I've given them a bit of a stiff swoosh around quite a bit of the noise goes, so I am going to put some arm grease into it. Either way, I will make the situation on this *very* clear before I send it out but I do reckon that there isn't an actual mechanical problem with them.

I'm trying to find the original pictures for it but it's aesthetically and internally in very sound condition. With all these considerations £70 including postage would seem fair! I can also include the original adapter for £7.50 (originally about £19) as it is a 12V centre positive which is a wee bit unusual.

Any questions, then please just drop me a line

Hi ya, is this still available?

PM'd!

[quote name='funkgod' post='1027444' date='Nov 17 2010, 11:24 PM']mmmmmm,.. i bet you was the one at the back of the [b]Boilogy[/b] class drawing mustaches on all the sperms instead of paying attention [/quote]


Yeah I was, just like you were behind the bike sheds smoking fags with the bigger boys every spelling test!

Gutted - I would love the Mesa and the Trace - I'm very interested in massive old tube amps fools!! Your timing is wrong though - wait until the new year and I will buy both!!!

Hello,

My name is Sam and I've played bass for 15 years, but amazingly never came here to basschat before. I like it. Lots of great info here and a good friendly supportive vibe.
Got burnt out on internet forums a long time ago thanks to bad attitudes and morons (you know the deal) - but you guys seem to be pretty cool!

So, a little about myself:

I play bass and lead two bands - the avant-punk trio Elephant Vs Leopard, and the currently 'sleeping' prog instrumentalists Tunguska Butterfly (bass, drums, guitar, alto sax and violin). (Sleeping due to an unfinished album and a large outstanding studio bill!!).

Musical heroes/influences - Zappa, Faith No More, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, King Crimson, Geddy/Rush, Chopin, Primus/Claypool, Mick Karn, Stanley Clarke, Steve Harris, Allan Holdsworth, Terry Bozzio, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Bill Bruford, Percy Jones, Meshuggah, Mike Patton (and associated projects like Fantomas, Mr.Bungle etc), Erik Satie, John Zorn... I could go on but you get the idea already.

The EvL line-up consists only of bass, drums and vocals. No guitar.

NO GUITAR!!

Think Henry Rollins/Nomeansno/Primus/King Crimson with a somewhat aggressive delivery and a heavy dose of sarcasm and narcissism.

I use an A/B box and run one side into a Sansamp BDDI and then my trusty mid 90s SWR Bass 350; the other side through a bunch of fuzz pedals into whatever tube guitar head is available. I'm currently on the search for a second hand Orange Thunderverb or a Marshall JMP Superlead/bass 100 head. Oh and an SWR 8x8 to replace my tired 4x10 Goliath.
My rig sounds like a cross between Geddy Lee, a chainsaw and a large diesel engine. I cut the low end from my sound and I play chords a lot. It sounds like I use a pick but I don't. Many people think I'm a frustrated guitarist but I'm not.

In my other projects I dispense with the guitar head and just play 'bass'. After spending many years as a dumb rocker I developed my reading writing and theory abilities after hitting a wall a few years ago, whereby i was struggling to realise my musical aims. (e.g. you can't walk a jazz line if you don't know about chords, and you can't score for strings and write for sax players if you can't write notation, and you can't play Zappa if you don't know what a quintuplet is etc)

Said bass is a 1996 Warwick Corvette Standard 4 (bubinga), with passive pickups, and strangely, a Corvette Pro-line badge on the headstock. I had been playing 2 years when I got this new, and it's the only bass I've used since, apart from my fretless. (More news on the fretless another time - I think you guys would dig it).

If you wanna check out EvL (please do!) then get down to

www.myspace.com/elephantvsleopard

(Sorry I'm not well 'netucated' so can't do a link!! Maybe you tell me how!)

There are tracks from our debut album there and our music video too. Would love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks for reading my blurb, maybe speak to you soon

Sam
