Here are a couple of Turbosound TXD-115 PA subs. used and in good condition with the usual paint scrapes. Each sub is 1 x 15" 300w RMS with 600w program power handling at 8 ohm. I am currently using a pair as my main PA subs and these are just spares, taking up space.

Dimensions are 652mm x 465mm x 423mm (25.7" x 18.3" x 16.7") and 55 lbs each. I originally bought them for when we do larger gigs. I paired them up with my other pair of identical bins for a gig at the Aberdeen Beach Ballroom last year as I thought we might need a bit more weight in the sound. They worked great.....too much in fact that I ended up taking them out and using only one set for a full 5 piece band & drums mic'd up!

The cabs have a built in crossover of 12dB / octave low pass at 150Hz. In the manual it says "The TXD-115 includes an internal low-pass crossover network which filters high frequency signals from the bass driver when used in conjunction with two-way enclosures enabling a full range system to be powered from a single amplifier channel without the need for external electronic crossovers."

You can come and hear them working if you like.

I wouldn't worry about using the 1602 with the "lower power" cabs. As long as you use your ears and the cabs dont start distorting then they should be OK. If they start to distort / amp clips then just turn down a bit.

I used mine with various configurations of an SWR 4x10 & 1x15 (2 channel), a Schroeder 4x10 & 2x15 (bridged) and Barefaced Big Twin T (bridged) and they always sounded great used for practice at home, small quiet gigs and noisy pub gigs. The higher power gives you a little more headroom to play with. I find its easier to turn an amp down than squeeze more clean volume from it.

I upgraded to a Powersoft and have been keeping my 1602 as a backup but think I need to advertise it on here.....

Spooky timing! I too have just found that my FMT has lost a "gold" screw and washer. Could you send me the contact details for Schaller by PM (and part numbers if you have them).

Thanks,

Mike

My wife's idea: nicely displayed, safe from the kids and easy for me to pick one up whenever inspiration strikes.

They look great like that. What hangers are yoiu using?

£4k!.......if he sells it at that price I think I may put mine up for sale, add a bit extra and order a new one!

Bought some strings off Owen. Great to deal with. Many thanks

Thanks a lot for your views. Very interesting indeed. And I see you've got a Fender FMT Jazz V. I had the IV version of that - wish I hadn't sold it!

Thanks, its a great bass but as I need to thin the heard a bit I'm going to be putting it up for sale in the next couple of weeks!

For those experienced with 5 and/or 6-string basses would you stick with a 4 in hindsight? Or, would you never go back to a 4 now?

How easy or hard is it to switch?

Would you go to a 5-string first, then to 6? Stick with a 5? Or go straight to a 6 maybe bypassing a 5? etc., etc.

To hopefully add to the good ponts made above here's my 10p worth
I made the jump to 5 string about 15+ years ago and have not felt the need to move back to a 4. I have picked 4's up and had a noodle but it just doesnt feel right anymore. Like others have said its not all about the extra low notes, it can be different tone, ease of playing a riff, full length thumb rest etc

How hard it is to switch? I think it can be dependent upon what your left hand technique is currently ie: if you play a 4 with your thumb either over the top of the neck or "in line" with the neck then you may struggle to reach and place your fingers correctly. If so, a change to positioning your thumb in the centre of the neck, pointing "across" it will ease things. It may take a while to get comfortable with, but it's worth working on.

A 5 or a 6? Depends on what you want to do. 6 gives you lots of options. I played a 6 exclusively for 5 years but went back to 5 as I am more comfortable on a 5, didn't use the C much etc. I found it harder to move from a 4 to a 5 (extra than from the 5 to the 6 - might have been the E string point of reference that initially threw me off.

If you're looking for 1U pre amps then you could try one of these. Some are mic recording pre-amps that I've used and do a good job

Joe Meek VC6Q
Alembic F1X - good but ££
Mindprint Envoice
Ampeg SVP PRO, SVPCL, BSP etc.....
Demeter HBP-1 - again £££
Fender TBP-1
LA Audio MPX10
Rocktron Blue Thunder
Toft Audio EC-1
SWR Interstellar Overdrive

Some are discontinued but can be found lurking in second hand form sometimes here on BC

My cockles are well and truly warmed now.......good on 'yer Paul, 'tis good to hear good news like this. Have a great Xmas all

Dear Santa,

As its the season to help your fellow man, would you help me make Pete's wishes (and mine) come true? Please take my well used Monopoly game (its nice to play! ) and swap it for Petes rather nice Overwater. I think that's what he was meaning......

Merry Xmas,

Mike

[size=2]This has been a thinly disguised bump for a nice bass![/size]

Hi,

I've got an Alembic F1X and swapped out the standard tube for a RCA 5751 and have used a GE 5751 as well. Both tubes run at approx 70% gain of the typical 12AX7 so you wont get the same volume or ability to add "distortion" out of them. I wasn't looking for volume or distortion when I chose the 5751's but a smoother sound with lots of clarity. I did a bit of research (geekery!) and found quite a bit of info both on here and Talkbass etc. When I get home I will try and remember to edit my post with some of the links if I can find them.

Regarding fitting - I have had no problems fitting any replacement tubes into the carrier / sleeve.

Just bought a Mono strap from Lawrie. Great deal. Many thanks.

PM sent.

They are an Overwater "Gold Dealer" [url="http://overwaterbasses.com/dealers/"]http://overwaterbasses.com/dealers/[/url] and have their own site if that helps [url="http://cotswoldbassguitars.co.uk/"]http://cotswoldbassguitars.co.uk/[/url]

Pete, thanks for the compliments. Didn't realise you had a Jazz 5 already...ah well....'twas not to be Good luck with the trade

Nice bass. I would be interested but logistics for a "hand over" swap might stop it happening as I'm based in Aberdeen! Anyway I have a Fender FMT 5 string active that I can offer in exchange. Its fitted with Nordstrands and a Babicz bridge (originals and Fender hard case come with it). Heres a piccy for starters. If you're interested I can send more

don't see how that makes it alright...what about the bidders? Can't really move the goal posts after the ball's been kicked.

My sarcasm was lost in the text.....

He's amended his listing with "US FENDER PRECISION [b]STYLE [/b]BASS GUITAR" lower down the text......so that makes it all ok now.....unless you miss that bit of course.....

Just recieved some strings from Greg. Really easy transaction with lots of good communication. 'Twas a pleasure

Mmmm....I would be interested but I think its too big to stick a stamp on and post it to Aberdeen
