  1. [size=4]Hello everyone, I’m looking to sell this bass as I've been using mainly P basses over the last few years, and this has just been sat in the case, which is waste of a lovely instrument. I’ve owned it from new. Details:- [i]-Made in Japan (MIJ) 1962 Reissue Jazz bass. -Candy apple red with maple neck /rosewood finger board -Bought and owned from new (1996) -still have original receipt and tags from GAK -Serial number: U ****** 1995/1996 Fender 50th anniversary'96 -Lovely vintage tinted lacquer. -Brass strip pickup between cavity and bridge, brass inserts in all cavities. - All original no mods/upgrades -Body has few dings/nicks on body (also around neck joint) and scratches on back (shown on pictures) - Neck is VGC with minimal fret wear. -Strung with flats, may need set up to suit individual taste, great player and workhorse bass[/i] Please send me a mail if you are interested in the bass, £375 (supplied with gig bag) Regards Neil Bristol [size=3][/size][/size]
  2. [size=3]Hello Everyone, I have an Ampeg SVT-CL head and have been looking to buy a single used classic series 4 Ohm 4x10" Ampeg cab. The two current 4x10" cabs are the Ampeg 410HLF and Ampeg 410HE. I've looked at the specs and know the obvious differences i.e size impedance, tuning, price etc :- [i] The 410HLF is a500W@4 Ohm cab tuned to 28Hz and costs around £699 The 410HE is a 500W@8 Ohm cab tuned to 43Hzand costs around £450[/i] Has anyone been inside either of these cabs and looked at the drivers/wiring? .I've done some diging on the net and most people suggest Ampeg often use 32 Ohm 10" Eminence drivers in the SVT cabs. My Plan was to maybe buy the used cheaper 410HE cab (from a fellow basschatter) and rewire it for 4ohms, but if it has 32 Ohm drivers I think I'm stuffed in terms of wiring options. Any info or suggested is welcolmed Cheers Neil[/size]

  5. [size=3]Hello everyone, Up for sale is my old bass cab, this has been in storage for a while, and is costing money, so I decided to see if I can sell it. It’s rated at 400W @ 8 Ohms , It is the same size as the Marshall VBC412 cab. The cab is solid and perfect for gigging-made well with good internal bracing. It has scratching on the top and a few dings, but is generally good condition. I guess the cab is reasonably old and bombproof, It's heavy- hence the castors. It sounds great, a good comprimise between 10" and 15" drivers. I've used it with an old Sound City 120W valve head and an Ashdown Evo II 300W amp, both of which I sold so the cab hasn't been used much. The speakers are barely worn in, still have the receipt. I had a custom made grill to finish, It was only used for a few months for practice and a few gigs. The cab was previously painted, so I repainted with exterior black gloss. [i]Specification:- *Solid and braced Flight case style enclosure all aluminum sides and proper corner protectors. * 75(H) x 75 (W) x 36b (D) * X4, 12" 100W Celestion BL12-100, I bought these new from Appian Acoustics for £130 -still have the receipt * Powder coated steel grill (custom made) solid and seriously kick proof. *Parallel ¼” jack outputs (8 Ohms) * X2 rear 4” diameter (5” long) ports * Heavy duty side handles *Castors [/i] The cab is in Bristol, so I guess local pickup only, I’m generally open to offers but would like to achieve something close to the cost of the speakers?? Any queries/questions please PM me. Cheers Neil NOW SOLD, Thanks for all quereies [/size]

  10. [size=3]Hi, Thanks for the reply, I may be able to post it if I don't get any local pickup offers. I'd prefer collection as I hate packing guitars up. Regards Neil [/size]
  11. [size=3][font="Arial"]Hello, [u]FOR SALE[/u] Jim Deacon '62 Stratocaster in Sunburst. Bought this guitar a few years ago for £100, but have recently upgraded so now not needed. Very good condition, a few marks but nothing bad- a good solid strat. Plays fine, could do with new strings and maybe a set up to suit indivdual style. Has a F*****R stratocaster headstock decal (which may fool people a few metres away!) Specifications: * Body: Solid Alder * Neck: Maple * Fingerboard: Rosewood * Machine Heads: Vintage Nickel * 3 pick-ups, 5 way selector switch (No whammy bar) [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar/product/Jim+Deacon/Stratocaster+Copy/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...aster+Copy/10/1[/url] [url="http://www.hwmusic.co.uk/product/jim_deacon_65583.aspx"]http://www.hwmusic.co.uk/product/jim_deacon_65583.aspx[/url] Any queries or questions send me a mail.

  13. [size=3]Hello, For sale is my 1973 Mk4 Sound City B120 (120W) I’ve had this a while and will be really sad to see it go, but I’ve acquired an Ampeg SVT and can’t justify two high power all tube amps. I won’t go into the full spec here as it’s available all over the net; this site is one of the best [i] [url="http://www.soundcitysite.com/sc_webpages/sc_home.htm"]http://www.soundcitysite.com/sc_webpages/sc_home.htm[/url] [/i] -120W from six EL34 valves, x4 ECC83, x1 ECC81. Good quality Partridge transformers with excellent output impedance selection, being a B120 it apparently has extended bass response. -The amp as far as I know is all original (correct me if you know otherwise) .I haven’t touched it since I’ve had it. -It operates fine and works with plenty of clean headroom. - All Sound City Mark 4 variants are known to be noisy/ ’hummy’ to some degree due to the active tone control circuit , this one is no exception and some background noise is present. -The wiring is in good condition and the amp is clean (it is suggested sound city amps have poor wiring, but this one looks neat and well done). -The amp is 36 years old, so has nicks and tears consistent with age, most of which can be seen in the pictures. The front panel writing is fading, but still readable. -It may be wise due to the age of the amp to have it checked over by an amp tech,but I'm not aware of any problems with it, it has always been a reliable amp. Any queries or questions send me a mail.[/size] [size=4] £300 [/size] [size=3]Collection from Central Bristol (BS3), currently no mailing options Cheers Neil [/size]
  14. [size=3]Hello. I'm having a big clear out and first to go is a pair of B&W (Bowers and Wilkins) DM11 speakers:- -These date from between 1978-1984, made in the U.K -The speakers are complete and fully working (I cranked them up yesterday). The 8" woofers and tweeters work fine on both units and are not damaged. -They are well made and solid; they are a 2 way unit with removable grills and 4mm banana connection sockets at the rear (and fuse) - They cabinets are tatty, they have scratches and dings , but could easily be restored by the right person -who has the time. The grills also have slight damage but the plastic housing to hold them to the speakers are all there and intact. - Size 20" (H) X 10"(W) X 9.5"(D) Only [size=4]£20[/size] – (which is what I paid for them a while ago) Collection only from Central Bristol (BS3), sorry I don't have the time to pack them up for postage, due to size and weight. Cheers Neil[/size]
  15. [size=3]Hi Ben, Basically your wiring speakers options are :- 1. Series i.e 8+16 = 24 Ohms 2. Parallel i.e 8x16/8+16 = 5.33 Ohms Watch your wiring to avoid phase errors and check out below for speaker wiring diagrams (on the drop down menus in Dr.Decibels secrets) [url="http://professional.celestion.com/guitar/features/drdecibel/index.asp"]http://professional.celestion.com/guitar/f...cibel/index.asp[/url] Most amps would drive a 5.33 Ohm fine, but mixing different impedance speaker isn't good practice. To quote Celestion:- [i]'It isn't advisable to mix speakers of different impedances in one cabinet. This is because power will not be shared evenly between the speakers and it can cause frequency dependent shifts in the power balance. This will sound terrible, can affect the amplifier and may damage the speakers. It is always best to use speakers of the same nominal impedance in one cabinet. (Similarly, it is also advisable to have extension cabs with speakers that have matching impedances)'[/i] Hope that helps Neil [/size]
  16. [size=3][font="Arial"]Hello Everyone, We making the mammoth Journey (with all our kit) from Bristol to Watford, to headline a gig at the Flag in Watford on easter Saturday (11/04/09) [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/flag"]http://www.lemonrock.com/flag[/url] Anyone in area who like a bit of rock'n' Soul come in, have a pint and say hello We've no idea about the venue?

  17. [size=3]Hi, I now run a Licenced Pro-tools home studio set-up, but I would recommend Adobe Audition. For years I used Syntrillium Cool-Edit Pro 2.0 which was a good wave file (.WAV) editor and the multi-tracker is pretty good, and has some very usable effects, I've always found it easier to use than Steinberg Wavelab. [url="http://www.adobe.com/special/products/audition/syntrillium.html"]http://www.adobe.com/special/products/audi...yntrillium.html[/url] Adobe bought out Cool-edit and you can do a 30 day free download of the latest Adobe Audition 3.0 from the website which I have used for Vista and is fine. [url="http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/"]http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/[/url] You may be able to download a free full copy of the older Syntrillium Cool-Edit Pro 2.0, but i'm not sure if the driver support Vista, I have only tested with XP. Any technical problem send me a message Hope that helps, Cheers Neil [/size]
  18. [size=3]Hello everyone, I have a 9V /Phantom powered [font="Arial Black"]Hartke bass attack VXL[/font] tone shaper/pre-amp for sale. [url="http://www.soundtech.co.uk/hartke/vxlbassattack"]http://www.soundtech.co.uk/hartke/vxlbassattack[/url] I bought the unit as part of a package a while back and it has a fault. The unit has two independant fuctions 1.Preamp and 2.VXL (harmonic tube simulator tone) Basically the Pre-amp (3 band boost and EQ) works fine but the VXL effect only works with the harmonics knob to max, so its either off or on full. If has footswitches for 'SHAPE' and effect 'ON/OFF' Someone has been in the unit and a few screws are broken(not me!) the ground lift /phantom push and pre/post DI buttons have lost their rubber outer collars but still fuction- with a screwdriver! May be useful to some one- for parts alone as spares/repair. £15 delivered ? comes with original box and instructions. Regards Neil [/size]
  19. [size=3]Hi There, I'd be interested in the unit, My Dad could collect he lives fairly local in Leamington Spa but often goes to Banbury for shopping. Let me know- I could organise a fairly swift pickup. Regards Neil [/size]

  22. [size=3]Hello everyone, A somewhat delayed but updated follow on from the tele-bass pickup topic.... I received my reworked Fender TEB101 hum-bucker pup back from Andy at Wizard promptly a few weeks ago. I installed it into the SVM tele-bass. I also screened the all cavities and fitted new alpha 250K pots and a sprague 47nF cap. Andy reworked the pup to be more akin to an over-wound P bass pup (it is still 16K Ohms mind), as I wanted more of a single coil sound-I always loved the way this bass sounded acoustically, but amped up it was just mud with no clarity. [u]Results [/u] -Fantastic... much more top and middle, the standard P bass tone stack works a treat, rolls of the treble to get more of the pup muddy original sound. -I guess the pickup neck placement is still is a big factor, but I'm getting much closer to the P-bass nasal honk which is the sound I wanted. -Winding up the gain on my tube amp allows the pickup to naturally overdrive the preamp tube and I get the Jack Bruce 'Badge' cream sound, whilst retaining some top end clarity. £45 for the pup reworking and £5 for the pots and cap. On this bass the tuners are upgraded to Schallers and it has a reissue bridge cover... a totally useable bass ..! Thoroughly recommended upgrade. Cheers Neil.[/size]
  23. [size=3]Hello, I'm considering investing in a high power all valve amp, but to be honest I’m not totally convinced by the current batch available. All the amps in question are all over £1000 and considering the Orange AD-200 Mk3 (£1200) and Marshall VBA-400 (£1100) are mass produced PCB amps I've been questioning their robustness and value for money. See: - [url="http://www.planetoftheamps.com/orange-ad-200-mk3-bassamp.html"]http://www.planetoftheamps.com/orange-ad-2...k3-bassamp.html[/url] [url="http://www.chambonino.com/work/miscguitar/misc9.html"]http://www.chambonino.com/work/miscguitar/misc9.html[/url] [url="http://www.chambonino.com/work/marshall/marsh6.html"]http://www.chambonino.com/work/marshall/marsh6.html[/url] Don't get me wrong I know both of these amps sound excellent, but will they last compared to proven designs and build quality of old Ampegs and the Hiwatts. The Current Hiwatt 200w head (£1500) and 400W (£1900) are both hand wired are so justify the price somewhat, but it’s still a lot a cash. I'm also considering the alternative of buying an old Sound city L120 and reworking it to a Hiwatt DR103 spec. Does anyone know of any other 100W+ all valve alternatives around £1000? Thoughts, cheers Neil[/size]
  24. [size=3]Hello everyone, Food for thought on the Telebass pickup issue, Andy is rewinding my stock Fender telecaster TEB101 humbucker this week. Will keep you all posted on the outcome Regards Neil [/size] [color="#00FF00"] 'Neil, Right, we've tested and looked at your pickup, although there are alternative wiring options all are pretty dark and muddy. We have no "off-the-shelf" replacement but we could rewind your pickup to give a more open toppy tone, cost would be £45.00. Cheers Andy - Wizard Pickups Ltd'[/color]
