    A previous guitarist had the head break off his flying V and I glued it back on for him. Never broke again, sounded and played just as before the break.

    Hi all, Just had a PM from a very nice chap in Slovakia. I'm afraid that free postage only applies to the UK. If you would like it posted outside Britain you'll have to foot the postage bill.

    What's Spey casting?

    No speaker on a valve amp normally means burnt out output transformer very quickly. You're very lucky.

    Buzzing cab

    Loose dust cap on one or more of the speakers? Torn speaker?
  7. bertbass
    Yes, it's the valve sound. SS/ Hybrid? From not at all to quite close. My opinion of course.

    Bet there's no left handed version though, or if there is it will cost a fortune.

    A lot of basses for sale all of a sudden!

    [font=Times]I’ve got too many basses that I don’t play so some have got to go.[/font] [font=Times]LEFT HANDED 8 STRING P BASS [/font] [font=Times]My 8 string bass started life as a new Fender Squire P Bass Special and after an injection of a bit of woodwork, Schaller 8 string bridge, Schaller machine heads, Schaller strap locks and a set of Rotosound 8 string bass strings ended up like this. Nice to play and an immense sound. A couple of knocks but nothing serious and a new set of un-played Rotosounds just fitted. I’ll be sad to see it go but it doesn’t fit what I’m playing now. £250 and I’ll throw in the postage or you collect if you want.[/font] [font=Times]LEFT HANDED RETROVIBE RICKENBACKER[/font] [font=Times]I bought this a few months ago and only used it as a spare. It only got used once when the strap lock on my regular bass wore through, it had been on there a long time, so it’s only actually played 4 songs. It’s still in perfect condition although I have changes the strap buttons for Schaller strap locks[/font][font=Times]. It plays very well and has a great sound. Looking at the Probass web site, [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html"]http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html[/url], it would seem that are not going to be any more Retrovibes, especially left handed ones but you can hear sound clips and get all the details from them. Again, £250 and I’ll throw in the postage or you collect if you want.[/font] [attachment=94814:81.jpg][attachment=94815:82.jpg][attachment=94816:83.jpg][attachment=94817:84.jpg][attachment=94818:r1.jpg][attachment=94819:r2.jpg][attachment=94820:r3.jpg][attachment=94821:r4.jpg][attachment=94822:r5.jpg]

    It was hearing other bass players and guitarists using digital effects that made me aware of the problem long before I got digital effects. Being aware of the problems that others didn't seem to be aware that they had enabled me to find the solution. Strangely, the problem doesn't exist if you Di or mic through the P.A.

    Out of the cozy house into the freezing cold boot. Out of the freezing cold boot into the over hot venue. Out of the even hotter venue into the freezing boot and out of the freezing boot into the cozy house. Only a thought.

    I always find that digital effects don't carry at all, the sound just seems to appear in a bubble around the player and don't project anywhere. The answer I have found is to send the effected signal through an analogue effect, I use a graphic pedal, this seems to make the sound project again. "But then I'll have to switch on 2 effects at the same time," I hear you say. "Nay," say I. I use a bypass switch. I can preset the multi effects to the patch I want, switch on the graphic pedal and when the moment arrives for the effects just press the bypass switch and I'm away, Switch it again and I'm back to normal.

    Had a Peavey fire bass with a 4x10 and a single 15 cabs. I stuck the 4x10 on top of the 15 as you do. It was quite a while, a couple of years actually, after I started using it that I noticed that the 4x10 was a lot bassier than the 1x15, infact, it was only after the 15 blew and I replaced the basket, a Black widow, that I noticed the difference while checking the cabs separately. So which cab to put on top? I'd say don't use different size speakers but that's just my opinion.
  17. bertbass
    Casters on both cabs and sit then on their sides when using them. Your idea has great merit until you get to a door step, door mat, gravel and cracked / crazy paved path and up hill to mention just a few obstacles.

    Seriously easy to do it yourself, you just need a bit of practice.

    Coming a bit late to this discussion but only just seen it. The best and cheapest place for components is Rapid Electronics, www.rapidonline.com. It will be the place that other suppliers get their bits from and sell them on to you. Order direct or open an account, next day delivery too.

    [size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]I use 2 Behringer BEQ700s and the're great. Never had a problem with reliability or robustness. Even used one as a preamp straight into a slave once in an emergency, surprising good sound actually.[/font][/size]

    A dodgy speaker cable would either work or not, it wouldn't cause a buzz. I'd suggest that the pot on your bass is shagged and replace it or just turn it up full and leave it alone.

    Behringer bass graphic pedal, don't know the number but I use 2 of them. Cheap but very good. Used one to drive a power amp once in an emergency and was impressed with the result.
  24. bertbass
    Matamp valve amp would be ace, not sure about a hybrid though. Try it out and see if it's what you want.
  25. bertbass
    Add a power amp and extra speakers, go as load as you want!
