Geddys nose

Elderly's had one (SB1) for about £400 inc shipping & taxes I was very tempted with that and it looked like Keith Christopher's sunburst one from the band Homemade Sin.

The 400+ is fixed bias so you have to be careful which valves you put in so they are within tolerances with the fixed bias so I doubt you tec would have biased the amp, also after 4 weeks the caps might have discharged all their stored electric so when you turn your amp on it draws too much current first which produced heat & stress on the amp and can lead to problems, be worth seeking help Asap.

Bought John SB-2 off him and its a superb bass at a great price, John kept me informed all along and as all his feedback says he's a great guy to deal with. Thanks again.

[quote name='Big_Stu' post='934104' date='Aug 23 2010, 07:57 PM']Valve amp Specialist; Preston, Lancs. Just had my Hiwatt 200 in to an Amp Tech that I had recommended by a local music shop. It had a constant loud background hum that I had been told online could be down to an imminent cap failure or power tube problems. I left it with the new (to me) tech who looked over it very quickly, checked it couldn't be my beloved GEC KT88s, not the caps & eventually tracked it down to a bad ground. What I was dreading could have been a slightly expensive cap job, or a disastrous re-valve was fixed & covered by his standard fee for an investigation. I'm sure there are some who would have said they did more, replaced unnnecessary part etc & charged accordingly. Very courteous, very prompt, knowledgable (builds his own amps too) and for me one reassurance was seeing the use of cabs & guitars to check with too & not just a multi-meter. He's also very accesible with a nearby motorway link within 5 mins of his premises. No hesitation in recommending DPE Services in Preston Lancashire. Tel 01772 715097.

Like Groundhog Day This- Bought my Ric off me he's a really top man and it was a pleasure to meet him, everyone should listen to his band they play some great stuff reminds me of 'Wilco' quite a lot. Anyway He's Bought another Ric off me and he's still a top man and I'll probably see him again when I buy another Ric and sell it to him

My first good bass was a white one like above, really great necks and a joy to play, sold it for £199 years back wish I still had mine.

Interesting, My second bass was a Ultra P and I always thought the hardware/PU was top class as was the overall sound I just presumed they did a J type too.

Jeez that was cheap ,there was a Marleaux that went yesterday for £450 and that was a £1800+ bass when new, Not good for selling at the 'mo.

Love the look and sound of this- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-2010-Godin-Shifter-Trans-Cream-Bass-w-Case-/320567723182?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item4aa35344ae"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-2010-Godin...=item4aa35344ae[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMfKWxH7xlQ&hd=1"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMfKWxH7xlQ&hd=1[/url] Always rated the guitars but never really the basses but this just ticks all the boxes for me and as most Godin stuff a good price too.

Amazing, it'll go for £1150 + now

Can you play Pick Up The Pieces..

I had a 103 and it does have 3 speakers, it was the best combo I've ever owned it did not need help at all in the volume department at all, in fact there's a used one on Bass Direct's website. If you can get it at a good price and can look at it before you buy to check which model it is I would say buy it.

Does anyone know the type of bulb to get for a replacement for this and where to buy them? Cheers
