    Chap on Gumtree Edinburgh selling a Brian Moore for £350.

    Bridge and jazz tuners, please. Will you incl. carriage, please? What is your preferred method of payment? Cash? Swops? Chris

    £180 is cheap - depending on what it needs. A filter cap job is around £75-125. depending on who does it. Transformers are £45-75, depending on source (I have some out of PA heads). Good working 120s are going for £250(street) -£350 (shop). Anyway - what valve anything do you get for less? Roost? Sola Sound? Elgin? Nolan? Carlsbro? Nothing with those fat Partidges.... A decent Selmer Treble 'n Bass is £300 anymore - and try to find a working 100w. The Stateside chap who bought my Hiwatt 400 used to run a Sound City website in the States. Worth a Google....

    The 6 EL34 array gives a bit of headroom, but... Get a bass one - or get your tech to strip out the goofy active preamp stuff. They did a Bass 150, to - had one back in the mists of time.... Or move up to KT88s and buy my Sound City 200 (heh heh).

    The footswitch is required to avoid the limiter kicking in when using the dirty channel (bridges the two channels). Needs a stereo lead, but.... Dundee, eh? D'ye ken Breeksie at Groucho? An auld pal.... If we can work out a drop to Edinburgh or Easterhouse, I think we're on....
  8. Thornybank
    Has the footswitch? Where are you?

    Power Tap

    Thornybank replied to Finbar's topic in Effects

    All attenuators have a characteristic sound. They are all biased, taking out mid, highs or both in some measure. I like the Marshall Power Brake for EL34 amps and the Hot Plate for 6L6 amps. A Marshall head can take a mid scoop and the 6L6s are toppy so need the fat left in. But that's me. Anyway, unless you have £150 or so in the kitty, the best way to cut your sound is to reduce the surface area of your speakers. Using a 4x12 or 4x10? Use a 2x12. Using a 2x15? Try a 1x15. All the way down to a 1x12. I like a Marshall 1912 cab reloaded with a 200w EV, myself. Great all-rounder for studio and acoustic support moments. But that's me.

    Is it 4+1 or 5 a side? The nation awaits an answer...

    This one is the same as an SB1000 in all ways except no "third knob" tone selector. This thing really sings....

    Hiya, 'thumbs I have SO MUCH stuff.....can't see any gaps the now.... How is the combo running? Stay warm Chris
  15. Thornybank
    Tone is quite smooth - does that mean Precision? But you can select to split the coils - does that mean Jazz? I wish there was a common vocabulary for sounds.... Maybe another 'chatter can give their opinion...?

    Cheque reported to be in the post...

    Sold to a man frae Glesga.... Here is an early ('81?) Aria through-neck single humbucker bass from the RB series. It has a couple of tiny dinks in the finish, but scores 9/10 overall for an early '80s classic. Has the original case, nicely stickered up with retailer, Aria, Marshall and Dire Straits tour memories. The handle is taped over, but the plastic grip is still in there. The transluscent gold finish is AMAZING and probably the least-seen of the options. This is not the honey colour - this is gold. But not crude and tacky looking like a gold top guitar. The photos make it look a wee bit more bronze than the akshul gold. The wood grain shows through nicely. The bass is all professionally set up and happening. +++includes original warranty card and hang tag in its little cellophane packet+++ The fretless red one with no case went on ebay last week for £321+ carr so I thought £375 + carr would be good for this, considering it has its case and such... Whaddaya reckon? [attachment=5622:SBR60Front.jpg] [attachment=5623:SBR60Back.jpg] [attachment=5624:SBR60Case.jpg] [attachment=5625:SBR60CaseOpen.jpg]

    The Sibs cab is a great deal! Smooth adn dark tonality adn "only" 200w hadnling, but it has a fat sound that carries.
  19. Thornybank
    £325 is fair. Voiced for Celestions, and intended to go through a 4x12, so cab will have a big impact on tone/response.
  20. Thornybank
    That's what couriers are for.... cheaper @ £10-15 door-to-door than to drive across town and back. I lurv 'em....
  21. Thornybank
    DOD FX-25 with 2 knobs?
  22. Thornybank
    In case it helps... I have the Road Ready version - and it does everything except walk itself down the aisle.... Had it out to try an SVT200T head - scary scary big and low. The LF made my pal's cat throw up. [attachment=5454:SVT200T.jpg] And yours is a very clean example. Clearly, this season's MUST HAVE item..!
  23. Thornybank
    £ton+ carr?

    I have a big yellow wheeled rack flight unit that was built for a karaoke operation - top comes off, front and back come off. It is about four feet high - too big? If only my phone/camera was talking to my computer, I could send photos. If this beast intrigues, I will try to get some.

    Amazing price for the old 200w painted box. Rich, creamy tone from ply construction compared to boxy brwarp from mdf. A lick of the right paint and it will look fabberoo. With one of the wee side handle AH150 heads on it it will deliver most excellent tonality. Cheap just for the old Celestions. Bargain++
