Bit of bargain that I reckon. Gone now, anyone on here bag it?

Oh my! An SA200, doubt there are many of those over here. Would love to hear that!

Pretty easy mod. Got my tech to do it for my last Jazz and it worked a treat with a push/push pot.

What exactly is wrong with them then?

Not sure, but you two may have missed the point somewhat. The jack sockets in Teles are set quite far into the body so standard right angled plugs don't fit in. You'd need one which was unusually long which I'm not sure exists. Would like to be proven wrong though.

Ah cool, ok then thanks. Reckon changing the caps will be an expensive job at all?

[quote name='umph' post='421777' date='Feb 28 2009, 04:22 PM']i don't think it would be an impedence issue, if it was it'd sound like really bad distortion. are the capacitors all still original? if so you might want to replace the reservoir caps as they may have gone a bit wayward making it sound thin or it could be time for a revalving.[/quote] Really? I think it may well be caps and old valve problems too but it sounds like when you plug a guitar or bass straight into a line level input on a mixer, which if it's a PA head is surely what's actually happening.

Mixer out is the same level with a high end roll off. Don't have a standard DI at home at the moment but tried it with my Focusrite Trakmaster instrument preamp and it worked a treat.

Yea, my Bad Monkey has a 'Mixer' out, as does my Blackstar HT-Dual. Tried the Blackstar one which is quieter than the standard out but haven't tried the Bad Monkey yet.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='420070' date='Feb 26 2009, 01:52 PM']Some DI boxes have a jack output. A DI doesn't just convert a jack plug to an XLR, it's to raise your instrument level signal to a line level signal, so it won't be pointless at all.[/quote] No, I know thats what a DI box does, it just seems an alien concept to me going DI-Jack. The jack outputs on DI's are usually just a passive link, so are the same as the input, identical impedance and all. Will give it a go though, had considered it before posting the thread, in theory it should work so fingers crossed. Just need to find my female xlr-jack lead.

Yea, was wondering if that would work. It only has a jack input though so would have to go xlr-jack which seems to render the whole thing a bit pointless though. Will give it a go though, ta. This should probably be in the Amps section really, sorry.

So I'm trying to use an old Laney PA valve amp for guitar/bass but it sounds quite weak because the inputs aren't for instruments and are the wrong impedance I believe. I there a passive unit I can use to boost the level and change impedance into the amp? I've tried using an overdrive to boost the input but it still doesn't sound right.

Ah, shame. Much too big for the flat let alone the door I'm afraid.

Just came across this band: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVvZwUZwT_g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVvZwUZwT_g[/url] Amazing. [url="http://www.myspace.com/calciusrepton"]http://www.myspace.com/calciusrepton[/url]

Easy.
