Bought some IEM's off Danny. Exactly as described and fast safe postage. Thanks for a good transaction Danny. Cheers Dunc

When pic 6 is enlarged, where it's chipped (although it's hard to tell as it's pixelated when enlarged). It does look like there's a darker coat underneath. Yet again, just to make things harder, I believe that Fender often painted over other finishes!

I've seen a Shergold with crackling like that. I still can't help thinking it's has some sort of refinish over it though.

Had a look at the finish close up and it does indeed look like crackling. The pic showing the neck plate enlarged is the best one for me to see it.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1493968494' post='3292157'] Thanks for the heads up - I'll do a bit more reading! I'm in no rush - have to shift some gear first, too. [/quote] Oh no! What am I going to buy now!

[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1493983277' post='3292348'] Based on this [url="http://www.guitarhq.com/fenderc.html"]http://www.guitarhq.com/fenderc.html[/url] that colour was discontinued in 1969. Still got a bad feeling about the originalality of the finish, especially as you hardly ever see Poly crack like that... and on an incredibly rear colour too? Mmm...... [/quote] On an incredibly [b]rear [/b]colour? I take it you don't like that colour then!

Ummm, can't ever remember a tiger stripe? Unless it's brush painted?

I used to love an old Selmer 50w treble and bass head that a mate of mine had. Must have dated from the sixties. That wasn't too heavy . Lovely sounding thing. Really old school! I can't remember the model but I think it was one of these - https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/selmer-treble-and-bass-50-head.1372272/

This isn't a bad thread with plenty of loud and light 1x10 combos mentioned - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/304747-is-there-a-1x10-combo/

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1493492530' post='3288795'] That does sound more realistic [/quote] Twas a slight exaggeration on my behalf...

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1493488110' post='3288746'] Ebay too £1.95 for 10 [/quote] Maplins £19.50 for one!

This is cheap and must be heavy! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/299665-trace-elliot-2x10-200w-cab-l60-remaining-for-sale/

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1493486318' post='3288734'] Could be GK, and have ordered some new slow blow glass jobs of the correct rating. We'll see !! [/quote] I was surprised to find that my local Maplins had a great range of fuses!

Maybe these will help? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/99650-trace-elliot-eats-fuses/ http://basschat.co.uk/topic/204750-trace-elliot-ah300-gp12-issues/

Great stuff! I ended up watching all the chicken fights as well. Compulsive viewing!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1493209128' post='3286494'] I have four different Barefaced cabs and I'm getting worried. How on earth can I come up with a consistent motor vehicle analogy that will neither break down under stress (or on the A312) nor attract The Wrath Of Stevie? Christ! I'd almost rather get into another discussion about The Blessed St. Jeremy with a bunch of [i]Corbynistas [/i]on the Election thread ... [/quote] Honda's have a good track record I believe. The words of the breakdown guy who towed my Citroen back from Wales...

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1493222268' post='3286686'] AER Amp One. Throws out a huge amount of volume belying its size; enough for a pub gig [/quote] Nearly mentioned that one but I don't think they have a speaker out? They have a line out I think. Besides that, I've never known anyone with an Amp One that needed an extension!

Sold a Mac to Owen. Nice and easy deal. Simples! Thanks again Owen. Cheers Dunc

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1493211501' post='3286539'] Promethean 3110 still available new. And it's a good little amp! [/quote] Ah! it is indeed! Really light little thing that sounds great. I used to have one but bought the P5110c to replace it. Looking back I should have stuck with the 3110. Half as light and half the price!

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1493167938' post='3286225'] If I'm undestanding this right? Ibanez Promethean P5110c Ibanez Promethean P3110c Redsub BT5110c Harley Benton BA5110c Ashdown Mibass 2.0 combo Sure there's loads more but becoming rarer. [/quote] All of the above have extension speaker sockets. Some run at 250w as a stand alone combo and 500w with their matching extensions (or any other 8ohm extension). The P3110 is 300w stand alone and 300w with the extension (something to do with the windings). All have to be bought secondhand now though.
