Power cons what a fantastic idea, about time all manufacturers adopted this idea, its the future!!! Steve a completely gorgeous rig mate, you always have such great rigs, id love to hear that set up in action as ive always fancied one of those avalon U5,s keep groovin-lee These are called power-cons my friend. To me they are far superier to kettle leads as they lock in like speakon cables. The end the runs from the mains is white/grey and the end going into the systems is blue. Btw Steve, amazing set-up, would love to hear it! Jake [/quote]

I think he may have been referring to a fender Marcus Miller preamp and the east equiv, not a musicman, which it we all thought he meant, im sure he,ll clarify. mind you id be tempted to try the Musicman east pre in my sterling. all the best- lee Is this a Musicman bass? The SR5 preamp has nothing whatsoever to do with Fender. [/quote]

+1 I have an 82jv jazz (although not the fender logo, they are very early) i bought it 16 years ago, and it will come with me to my grave, fantastic basses, although i was naughty in my youth and changed bits(really wish id kept the original pickups, am thinking of getting nordstrands to get closer to its original sound, i have EMG jv,s in them at mo). Hats off to early squires- all the best- lee Same as you there Huge. No other basses make me feel quite as at home to be honest. Definitely NOT for sale. I think you're rght as well. There weren't many that had the big Fender logo. Never thought I'd say this. I'm picking up my Marshall Bass combo later on. The MB4210. I hope I get on with it. My Trace 300w 15" combo got nicked. Will keep you all informed on how the Marshall performs. Nervous nailbiting till I get a chance to crank it up..... ps. how do you all do that thing saying what you play and what through at the end of your messages? Signature or something is it? [/quote]

Thank you for a great peak at your amazing collection I absolutely adore the white spectors, ever since i first saw the video to "forever" and gene plays one i totally fellin love, i also love the one he had in the "tears are falling" video cant remember if it was red or pink, ive played warwick for years as i couldnt afford an NS2 ive no excuse these days with the euro series, must try and get a white one. Thanks again-lee

Hi Red binding could be rotosound strings, they tend to be quite rough to the touch, great rock tone!!! not used them for a long time though-all the best- lee

Hi guys Another one for the northwest- Phil Hartley (Bolton, lancs) tel- 01204 592373 Just used this guy, and he has done an absolutley fantastic job on my warwick 5 and 82 squire jazz(he,s literally brought it back to life). Really really pleased, highly recommended. all the best -lee Ps +1 for Dave Wilson at haltwhistle an absolute gentleman

Hi ped Gave it a wiggle came out straight away, fantastic, now were did i put my money maker thanks mate- lee Probably should make it clear that you have to wiggle the TUBE, not your money-maker! [/quote]

Thanks ped ill give it a try, im prob being a bit of a wuss with it, they just look soooo delicate cheers-lee Just give it a gentle wiggle side to side. :0) [/quote]

Hi dave I hope you or any other knowledgeable bods can help me, ive just bought a groove tubes 12ax7 to replace the one in my EBS td 650, i took the top of and the old valve seems t be in a plastic holder on a circuit board and i cant get the valve out at all, and i dont want to get too rough, i had an swr amp years ago and i replaced the valve in that, it just slipped out, but this ones a bit sturdier. If you know of a special knack with these things, id really appreciate some advice, mind you itll prob be safer to find a local tech. many thanks- lee

Heard about those, were do you get them in the uk cheers- lee I use Power Bugs. Boutique batteries FTW [/quote]

Hi I use the EBS octaver its absolutly fantastic, but it does jump your volume up a wee bit when you switch it on, it has three modes which emphasise certain frequencys, but i always just use the mid setting, i used a boss oc 2 for years and loved it, totally diffrent sound a lot more synth like, but doesnt track that well low down but IMHO the EBS doesnt track that well past low c but i always play up really high when i use it. there is a boss oc 3 but ive no experience with that. all the best- lee Hope someone can help - I have the Pearl OC-07 that can be heard here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgkO85Jp-6o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgkO85Jp-6o[/url] I want an up to date pedal as a replacement to use so I don't have to risk losing this one on gigs - can anyone advise something to try that's similar. I've had no joy whatsoever to date with any incarnation of the Boss pedals I've tried, and hope there's something out there. Thanks! [/quote]

Hi john So did the td650 surprise you, i love that head, ive played a lot of diffrent stuff through it and always been happy (oh and it sounds great for slap ) red off to the docs next week, had to wait a month for my local tech to be available very busy man to quote jimmy saville, may be having a trip home next month, will let you know. all the best, love the wall of rigs-lee WoT had the camera, rslaing looks comfortable with a 6 string SEI and... I have hair Must say it was a blast but 3 hours just flew by Revelations... at least for me All basses should have LEDs My Tech cabs eats wattage Schoeders are cleverly designed and eat cabs EBS TD650's have a lot more tonal variation that I imagined 4ohms is 'significantly' different to 5.3ohms regardless of sensitivity WoT should never be let loose with round-wounds I'll get up tomorrow morning and have given this some serious thought.
