I found a link to these earlier today via TalkBass I think. I've ordered a set anyway, I'll see what they're like when they get here.

That's a very difficult site to navigate. I added 10 of them to basket and then couldn't find a way to pay for them. It's not auto translating either. Hmm

Calling @rwillett Rob, is it possible to replicate the push on caps for control knobs? Amp pictured below showing two missing caps. Picture of a cap as an example (not the correct one though). I could take one off an original amp to copy if it's possible/financially viable. BTW, if this can be done, there's an army of GK 400/800RB users out there who would buy these. Rob

Ok, back here again with another question. Does anyone know where can I find knobs, or just the caps for the knobs, for an original 800RB? I have one incoming with two missing caps off the knobs. Cheers, Rob

In all the houses I've owned the cellars were cold dank holes, and one used to flood to a depth of 6 inches in heavy rain. If you've got a dry one, you're fortunate indeed. As for storing stuff in my attic, we've been attempting to clear ours of junk for the last two weeks as it was becoming impossible to move about up there!

Here in the UK, basements (or cellars as we call them) are often the coldest dampest parts of the house in my experience, so I would be reluctant to store electrical items in a basement. My loft on the other hand is very dry.

@rwillett Rob has a penchant for 3D printing.

When I ran a pair of Traveler 102P's, one was Italian and the other wasn't. I didn't detect much difference in tone between the two, but the Italian one was quite a lot heavier.

Ooof. I have a TE 2x8 and do fancy another to make a pair. I bet this rig sounds great.

I have done a gig with it DI’d, does that count? I played a Christmas concert at Lancaster Priory last year and the engineer took a DI from it. I did ask him if he was happy with it, and he said he was. Huge space, sold out, all good.

The fan is quite loud yes. We've had discussions on here about it. Somewhere, maybe in this thread, I posted pics of the fan. I'm sure quieter replacements could be found, but I only use mine for playing out and never at home. When playing out, it's never an issue. Rob

Good point. Post edited.

Hmm, this takes some thought. The best purchase is probably my Barefaced 3x10. Undoubtedly the best cab (for me) I've had. It's just brilliant live, in any venue. Can I have a 2nd best? Discovering GK 400RB series amps, and buying ......three of them. The first one was like hearing the sound I'd been looking for all this time, albeit through previously mentioned 3x10. Worst purchase? I don't really have one, but if there is one, it's that I bought a brand new Ashdown head just before I discovered how much I like the GK RB series heads. So I've basically never used it, even though it's a great amp. Rob

Congrats! I use these. https://www.designacable.com/van-damme-2x1-5mm-speakon-to-mono-jack-passive-speaker-lead-1.html

I'm in.

You are quite right. I started this thread from my own perspective. Title edited.

Three months ago, I set about "re-doing" our lounge. We've lived here for four and a half years, and it's the last room to tackle. Ok, I haven't rushed it, but I've been steadily working on it when I can. Rewiring, re-plastering, new floor etc, quite a big job. When I started drawing up the plans for the room, and details of shelving etc, I went into detail what my wife wanted, where things would go etc, and she suggested that I should include guitar wall hangers. Now, it may not seem like a big deal, but when your wife wants you to hang guitars in the lounge, then I think you have to admit that you have chosen wisely in the relationship game. Today I finally finished the shelving and the guitar hangers, and it really has started to come together. Just a TV and sound system to go now. She is admittedly my biggest musical fan, and she does often want to come to my gigs. Sitting here, with it all approaching the finish line, I still have to pinch myself when I think about the absolute gem of a woman who has chosen to share her life with me. Just sayin. Rob

I've been talking to the renowned John Shuker on this very subject. Washers are available I believe, in various thicknesses. He's going to fit one to one of my basses just as soon as I get around to getting it to him. The bass in question, has a truss rod nut which is recessed about 5mm from the end of the neck. The addition of a 5mm shim, will bring the nut back flush with the end of the neck, and provide additional adjustment where necessary. Rob

@OliverBlackman, I agree with Tony. There's quite a few of us on here who really like early 70's Precisions, and a few of us have bought over the last few years. The '70 I bought recently was quite a lot more than £3k, but it is in really really good condition. If I was in the market, and I could verify the originality of the bass by having it in hand and taking it apart, I would consider £3.5k to be very fair. If it was with a dealer, it would be more like £4k I think. Rob
