Just got a secondhand M-Pulse 600 head to go with my two 2x10 cabs .cost for the whole rig....................£1350 ! ! ! !! !! Cant wait for my next gig ( 23rd Jan ) to use the whole rig in a live situation . OK in a shop - but cant beat live ! Here is hoping my GAS is over

Just been on line ( Bax-shop ) still selling "B"stock 2x10 ................£377 ! ! ! ! ! !!

Ive had a pf500 ( about 4 years now ) with no problems . I sold it once ( on here ) only to find that the guy I sold it to said it kept cutting out ! I refunded his money , got the amp back , and I really "pushed " at a volume . NO PROBLEM ! I got it checked out at Polar Audio , who ran it for a whole day , and found no problem . I recon the guy read all the horror stories , and did not want to trust it , so said it was cutting out . Its now used as a back up ( take it everywhere I gig - and had to use it on three occasions when my Peavey T-Max cut out ) Got my T-Max repaired , and sold it on , now got a pf800 as my main head , with no problem .

Well my so called "B" stock 2x10 powerhouse arrived yesterday afternoon . Dont know whats going on , but this is one of the New Version ( 400w , tri-port with different speakers , and a different layout on the back , and a finer grade of covering with no castors , just rubber feet ) Its brand new , no marks anywhere ! Compared the New to the Old , I cannot tell the difference in sound or weight . Went back on to the web page ( Bax-shop ) , and all it said was that the model I ordered is obsolete , But they were still selling a few "B" stock ( £377) when I looked through their site I`m not complaining as I have a new cab ( with cover ) for a stupidly cheap price . Cant wait for tomorrow nights gig , Santa has come early ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Pete

Just got a 2nd hand Messa Boogie powerhouse 2x10 from my local Music shop . £300 ! ( old version 600w ) Used it Sat night with my Ampeg 115 , and a Ampeg pf800 head The Messa Boogie 2x10 is louder and more defined than the Ampeg 115 ! I was so impressed that I searched the internet , and found a B stock one ( some marks on top , scratch on grill ) at £350 , including delivery ( will be here Tuesday ) Will used both on Thu nights gig . They are a bit heavy , but so what , worth it for the sound IMHO. Pete

Just sold Sam my EBS Octave pedal, smooth transaction , great guy to deal with . Thanks again Sam

+1 Removed my Gotoh bridge and checked the saddles....................................two grooves in them - one deep and another shallower ! All same - manufacturing fault ? Anyhow , put an original Fender Bridge on , with stainless saddles , great improvement . Have ordered some Brass saddles to try . Pete

Used EXL 170BT for 2 gigs - ok, but not so impressed now D seems to be a bit quiet . I have raised the treble side of the pups a bit , but the G becomes too loud ! Set up I`m using is ..............Ampeg pf 800 into two Ampeg 115 cabs ( modded with neo speakers , and two extra ports - as per celestion handbook ) Pete

Put a set of D`Addario EXL170BT on my Jazz prior to rehearsal last night ................balanced volume across strings , feel good , sound good ! (seem VERY easy to play ) I thought the action was high , but when I compared it to my Lakland , it was the same . Looks like I will be moving from Fender to these , but before I do , I will give this set a run for a while . Keep ya posted . Pete

Done some messing around with my Jazz .....raised the action a touch , and lowered the pups a touch ( on bottom E side ) also going through my EBS Multicomp .........MUCH better now , but have ordered a set of D`Addario EXL170BT to see the difference with my normal set up . Will keep ya posted .
