    Matamp valve amp would be ace, not sure about a hybrid though. Try it out and see if it's what you want.

    Add a power amp and extra speakers, go as load as you want!

    A spare bass for me is just that. Mine is only there in case I break a string or the main bass stops working. Change basses as quickly as possible and I'm off again.

    Use an A/B switch. Works a charm.

    Traynor YBA 300. Get it from Thomann.

    Had a Firebass break on me, sent it back to Peavey for repair and it came back still broken. Also had a Black widow 15 blow on me.

    I find that how happy you are with your gear is dependent with how many gigs you do. The more gigs the less you think about other gear.

    Take the neck off and look on the bit you don't see. The date will be there.

    Too loud on minimum volume? Perhaps you should go for an acoustic bass and at a pinch plug it straight into the P.A.

    I always find that unless you have the lightest of 'pluck', the E string on a short scale goes sharp and only returns to pitch when the vibrations die down.

    Have you got enough equipment? 'No actually, I want loads more'. Can you tone it down? 'What make it bassier?' I want you to finish at 12 and I've got a taxi booked for 12-15. 'Hard luck mate, it takes an hour to take the gear down and load the van and it says so in the contract'. Dressing room? You can use the gents. 'We don't do toilets'. What's the name of the band then mate? 'There's a poster behind your head twat'. You've got 2 left handed guitarists! 'Have we, I never noticed'. I could go on.

    I'd suspect that the speaker(s) are on the way out. Superbass and two 4x12s is what you want.

    Back to the top I think.

    AccuGroove[b] sounds best to me through my Tannoys.[/b]

    Marshall 4 x 15 cabs used to be quite common in the 70s and a pair of 4x15s stacked used to dwarf a normal 4x12 stack. Nice!

    Watch out for customs who will charge import duty and V.A.T. which will double the price you paid for it. I'm told that if the item you want to bring into the U.K. is 'second hand' then you get away with it. Never tried it though. Good luck.

    bump

    Tried that and it had even more mid. It's just me, I don't like a lot, actually any, mid in my sound.

    Sorry Sold!!! I bought this pre-amp a couple of months ago for £275 and as soon as it arrived a put a new pair of JJ ECC 83s valves in. Unfortunately for me, I don’t like the sound. It’s got far too much middle for me and rather than have it sitting in my studio doing nothing I’m putting it up for sale again. You can see the condition from the photos. I only want the £275 that I paid for it and the new valves will stay in it. You can pick it up from TN37 or I’ll post it free of charge to the new owner. Paypal, Cash on collection or cheque are all fine although I’ll clear the cheque before posting.

    Something I've found that works in most situations in life is to say OK and then carry on as normal and when a few months down the line you are reminded of your OK just say, OK, sorry I forgot. Works every time.

    The aux input is designed to take a line input signal such as an mp3 player, as you guessed, a tape deck, cd player, keyboard etc whereas the normal input is for low level signals such as bass and guitar or any instrument that needs a preamp. It will work OK however, I'm not familiar with the Tech 21 Blonde pedal but you may find that it does not have enough output but then again it may. Try it and see, you won't damage your amp.

    Try this for tolex, speaker cloth and piping. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Solsound-Limited?_trksid=p4340.l2563

    I recently bought some covers for my amp and cabs and I'm more than happy with the quality and service.
  24. bertbass
    Having just re-speakered a pair of mag 4x10s I can say that the cabs are not made of MDF but chipboard and not that well built either.

    Always used Schallers and they're great, they do wear out after a couple of years though and have to replaced.
