Hi BassBunny, do you think that l should put a 8ohm 50w resistor , with a heat sink, across the position the speaker was, as a safeguard ? I have asked Fender this , weeks ago , but no reply . Pete

Does anyone know if you can run a dighital power amp , with a switch mode supply , without speakers connected ? I know you can with old power transistors , and you should not with valves . Pete

Thanks for all the info , tweaked channel 1 on LWA1000 for the 51, and left channel 2 set up for Geddy Lee . The reason for buying the 51 was as a standby bass on stage for the Geddy Lee , but with the tweeking , its beginning to sound better . I thought ( stupidly ) that it would sound the same . Thanks guys .

Have had a reply ( after sending my wiring diagram ) they said there looks no problem to them Suggested l ring , and discuswith Lindy , he may know what the problem is. I have dug out my old Eden Terra Nova preamp , used that with it , and it seems ok . My Geddy Lee Jazz sounds ok direct into my Warwick LWA 1000 , so maybe its some kind of miss match at input ?

I have emailed Lindy Fralin , awaiting reply . Lowered the pup -050" each side - does have more top now , but obviously less output .

Anyone used one , what sort of sound are you getting ? All I can get out of mine is BASS BASS BASS . Normal 250K log pot for volume , normal 250k log with .047 capacitor for tone ( even with the tone wound right back , only slight variation to sound ) Pickup height set Exactly as instructed . Have I got a DUFF pickup ? Pete

Any views on it ? I know it's designed for our 6 string friends , but anyone got one ?

I pressed the button , and bought one to try out ( thinking If I did not like it , I could send it back ), and I love it . Agree , its aimed at the Guitarist , but I have found that a bit of tweeking goes a long way . There is a fender bassman amp , and 4x10 cab in there ( maybe this has been an - upgrade ? ) I use the Messa Mk III clean , with the drive backed off , tone tweeked , linked to a Bassman 4x10 cab . The Chorus / Flanger / Auto wah / Temolo and Drives are all usable - IMHO with tweeking .. Now the editing software has been updated , its very easy to use . Soundwise , Its up to the individual , but I love it . Pete

Anyone got one ? I know they are designed for our 6 string " friends " , but l was wondering . Looking on line , one of the amps that is modeled is a Messa mark lll clean , l really miss mine ( my back doesn't ! ) Pete

Any suggestions for replacing my gretsch blacktop pups on the above bass , appart from tv Jones ?

My Peavey head was connected to a Markbass 2x10 cab , running very quietly at bedroom level . After about 15 mins , I noticed an electrical burning smell , and the amp made a strange squeaking sound , the cones of the speakers moved from rear position to front and the sound died . Speakers were now solid , no cone movement . Bought 2 new Markbass speakers , and replaced them in cabinet , and all works well with my other two heads ( Carvin and Ninja ) . I opened up the peavey head , no sign of any burning on any of the boards . Does anyone know how to check the output of a digital amp . say with a multimeter ? Pete

Hi Guys, Any of you suffer with feedback from your f hole bass guitar or upright double bass, then this may be your answer. [email protected] Bob is a real gent and craftsman. I have just purchased a pair of f hole blockers for my Gretsch G5440LSB, the fit is superb, very quick turnaround as well. Solved my problem - tried out my Gretsch at a very very loud volume in my garage, cut the feedback down to virtually nothing. Pete

Hi , Andertons do not have a replacement at the moment , 1 - 2 weeks , if their supplier has any in stock . Said I would wait . Pete

Hi all , Thought you may like to see the latest delivery from DHL of my New Gretsch Case..........as left by the driver . If I had been present , I would not have accepted it . If I wanted ventilation holes in the case I would have asked Gretsch for them . The forklift hit the case that hard , that it pushed some of the outside packing inside the case . Question ....is it DHL or Andertons responsibility ? See pics...... Pete NOW HAVE MY REPLACEMENT CASE - DELIVERED BY DPD - NO FORKLIFT DAMAGE (06/07/2020)
