    Hi. Do we generally feel fan cooling is "better" than heat sink cooling at the back of solid state amp heads? Fans obviously an additional moving part that can malfunction, and can generate noise, whereas head sinks are silent and stationary. Let's assume the fan is sufficiently quiet for the moment. Do we feel Fans are more or less effective at cooling vs heat sinks? What other issues do I need to consider? The main context here is in fact a 90's Trace Elliot SMX 300W head. Thanks!

    Great bass! Nice flattish fingerboard, great ergonomics, good medium weight & balance, nice slim neck (front to back), quiet electronics, the piezo's give a great attack, and the sound very versatile and malleable. This neck-through version feels great to play. Won't find many of these specific basses for sale. I have one (with red flamed maple finish) that my girlfriend wants me to sell to reclaim apartment space...but I'm not gonna... These were pretty pricey back in 1992 - I do recall feeling guilty spending that much back then...

    Hello. Sorry as I' sure this will be old for most of you (the photo is certainly old), but can anyone tell me what that thing is on top of Paul Turner's DB 751 in the photo please? I've seen it on there at live concerts & concert footage over some years in the past but don't know exactly what it is. Many thanks

    Elan is still available folks (clean sale - no trades - I need to cash in here). Regards

    Hi there - I haven't but no reason I couldn't! So I will! Yes, having owned the Europa for a month now, I love it - such precision, workmanship, tone flexibility, balance - I could go on. Got the inlaid neck LED's as a bonus too, and as it's a custom model, it has a Series I headstock design - this one's a keeper, although I have to say, it's heavy.... This 4-string Elan's really nice too but I bought it when I really wanted an Alembic and an affordable 5-string wasn't available so I bought it & then bought the Europa when one became available.

    Bump pls

    Hi - thankyou - looking for an outright sale as I just bought an Alembic Europa 5, so I need a cash sale. Could potentially be interested in a Fender Jazz '62-'65 (refin but all else original except scratchplate) + cash to the owner. Regards

    Top build quality here, precision intonation, great feel, ergonomic (particularly for an Alembic), plays beautifully. Ping me any questions.

    Hey thanks! Lovely bass indeed. Would love to keep it but can't justify it. Open to offers.

    Hi, Anyone know how much I should be paying for a used 1990 Alembic Elan 4 string bass in good condition in Europe / UK please? (with Q switch) These used to be between the Essence & the Rogue/Europa in the Alembic range. Thanks
  21. Undertone
    Do you (or does anyone) know if the neck thickness from front to back (is there a name for this measurement?) is the same on this bass vs the post 2007 ones please? (say at some reference point such as the 12th fret, from fingerboard to the back of the neck). Regards

    Hi - I'm a newbie so forgive what may be a dumb question. It's called a '62 reissue, but with the stacked pots, is it not a 1960 reissue?... Not to nitpick, it's just for my understanding as I migth be interested in purchasing. Is the neck super-thin like an original '60/'62 please? Regards
  23. Undertone
    replica, reproduction, modelled after.....whatever we care to call it...
  24. Undertone
    Actually, should I assume, in further naivety, that the Fender reissues of 62 J basses & the like, are not extremely faithful replicas of the originals? (in terms of neck, and then generally) Perhaps less so than, for example, the 44-60 mentioned above? Thanks again...

    Many thanks gentlemen. Think I have decent information now thanks to your contributions. Am certainly considering alternatives (per my original post) although those will probably be for a 5-string that I also need (to my reticence). Think I have my heart set on a vintage J. I have a '62 Precision & nothing I've ever tried comes close to it's thin bare silky sweat-infused neck (although I've by no means tried all that's on the market!) & it serves my needs for the music for which it's played. But I will go out & try some of the alternatives suggested above thanks. Thanks again! Regards.
