[quote name='Wil' post='647363' date='Nov 6 2009, 04:23 PM']My bassist has a broken T Max. Not sure if he'd consider parting it out, but I can ask - what would you be willing to pay for the fan?[/quote]
dont know what there worth will i could do with a couple of knobs aswell cos i have an odd one on mine

Where can i get a 230v ac fan for my peavy tmax 500 head, she is very noisey, think the bearing has shot it

[quote name='jonnybradford' post='632529' date='Oct 21 2009, 03:39 PM']Hi,

would you have any interest in splitting the head and cab.
I am interested in the head, but I already have a pair of 1x15's so another would be a bit surplus to requirements.

and i would be intrested in the cab if the price is right

[quote name='Leftbass' post='633553' date='Oct 22 2009, 04:28 PM']if you've won it for that its excellent Good one[/quote]
won it for £94 with 2u case

£94 of ebay, good price?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='632953' date='Oct 21 2009, 10:41 PM']Yep, and a handy option for 3 more 8 ohm cabs.[/quote]
how does that work then? i have a 4x10 and 1x15 both rated at 8ohms so that should put it down to 4 ohs on the amp, correct?

are they alright to run 8ohm cabs on them? watching one on the bay now and im thinking i want it

anybody got thoughts on a peavey tmax head, quality, performance, and second hand prices???

I will also include a leather strap and strap locks

[quote name='mrcrow' post='544726' date='Jul 19 2009, 03:32 PM']very creditable work...i did something similar when i fitted s-d humbucker replacements to my 4003..wired them series in themselves...
you did a good job on the bridge pup masking
10+
thought about doing anything with the bridge which for me was a badass II swapout
cheers teaser360[/quote]
hipshot bridge on its way, should be here next week, but not going to put it on just yet as we have a busy couple of months giging

Ive decided to sell my BP80 effects pedal, ive hardly used it, bit complicated for me, i like the simple things in life. £40 inc postage, includes box , charger and manual.
OR trade for a badass bridge or a gotoh bridge for a precision (5 hole)


Product: DigiTech BP-80

Ease of Use : 10
I have tried alot of pedals out there, (and i mean alot) and there aren't many like this one the ease of use. Making effects it as easy as possible just a click of the edit button and thats its you can change the entire sound of your bass, that is - if you want it to sound like a bass!
Also having presets is a great idea, saves you have to change between
songs - or during! The by-pass function is another amazing idea, change to your standard sound with one foot.

Sound Quality : 10
Starting with me setup:
- Peavey 5-string Cirrus
- Behringer 1200 (great amp at a such a low price)
- Digitech BP80 (just put it on because i don't have a big setup)

All i can say is perfect! No joke!
No feed back! And greatest of all no hiss at all!
The noise gate is an excellent function.

Reliability : 10
Been 6 months and i'm still standing!
So as relieable as they come.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Haven't need any help due to it's perfect build quility.

Overall Rating : 10
This pedal is a must have! Whatever style oh music you play. Even if you've said you don't need one, get this it blows your musical mind! All the things you could put there in this song, what would sound great in this intro.
If this pedal was stolen i would never buy a different one. There would be an order for another one the very next day!
Compared to the Zoom 607II(???) This pedal is legend and the zoom is just not worth it, even without comparing it to anything else that pedal (Zoom) is bad! - after all i own it too!
BUY THIS PEDAL! BUY IT!!! - Trust me

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='544515' date='Jul 19 2009, 09:48 AM']nice work - looks very neat[/quote]
thanks al, got loads more plexiglass left for when i change the pick ups.

Well shes up and running and im happy playing around with it and i just hope the rest of the band like it. Ive just fitted my homemade pickguardian, total cost £3.80 and a bit of time

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='543771' date='Jul 18 2009, 08:35 AM']I don't understand. Why would 500k pots give 3db more gain than 250's? At max gain the pots are zero resistance, ie: full volume. Now zero resistance on a 250k pot ought to be same as zero resistance on a 500k pot, or am I missinig something?
On the rick replicas I've put together I've gone for the normal pickup rule of thumb: single coil will get a 250k pot and numbucker will get a 500k to help balance the pickup tone better.

If you wanted to go for a 330k sweep you could always use a 500k pot and solder a couple of resistors (approx 485k each) onto the tabs as per this useful ready reckoner:
[url="http://www.diystompboxes.com/analogalchemy/emh/emh.html"]http://www.diystompboxes.com/analogalchemy/emh/emh.html[/url][/quote]
so the definition really is the pups, the rockinbetter has 2 toaster style pickups where a genuine rick is a toaster(neck) and humbucker(bridge), if i get the pick ups replaced the sound and tone will change again, im happy with the neck pup but the bridge pup sounds muddy, with both selected its not bad.

[quote name='mrcrow' post='543579' date='Jul 17 2009, 08:48 PM']ricks fit 250 and so do fender
but i go along with the brighter idea...but do use 250 myself
i like a more traditional and mellow tone
cheers[/quote]
Ricks actually fit 330k pots as standard, but i have noticed that it depends on certain models, this one quoted is for the vintage tone circuit, ive never known rickenbacker to use 250k across the board, its always been 250k volume and 500k tone, this is 1979 onwards, before that i dont know, im sure someone on here could clarify it, i dont want to open a debate about it though, I could be wrong, At the end of the day this bass, isnt a rick, its my first attempt at customising the electrics to try and create a better sound and to repair the piss poor wiring from the korean factorys, I think ive made a half decent job using quality components, and to be truthfully honest sounds alot better than it did from the factory, all it needs now is some decent pups throwing in her. I dont want to upset people in the process, i would rather share my experience, if i had put this on a rick forum there would be millions of bricks coming through my computer monitor
thanks for all advice in advance
tony

just following the diagram from joeys bass notes, and other rickenbacker diagrams, tone pots are 500k and volume pots are 250k, although ive rewired it the rickenbacker way, i still dont have much tone adjustment, so im pressuming the stock rockinbetter pups are s***

Just a quick update on how the faker is coming along, pots arrived today and started wiring them up, just waiting for the genuine rickenbacker 3 way switch to arrive, then i can get her back on the road.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='540983' date='Jul 15 2009, 09:16 AM']Aye, that's a C4. He's re-listed at £150 again, I'd say it's a pretty good price. I think the Grind was a direct replacement for this, so if they sell at £290-ish, this one seems OK. A lot better looking too, imo.

like i said i love the look of it, just unsure to go for it or not, i loved my classic vibes which i traded for the rockinbetter, so no loss there, but considering another squire as a back up, as im without a bass at the moment with the faker of the road. was hoping the bits for the faker would be here by now, either its late or the posty has gone walkabout

[quote name='Bassassin' post='540670' date='Jul 14 2009, 08:27 PM']I don't think that's a Grind - looks like A C4, from about 2002. The Grind has some extra contouring & black hardware & less of a Hippie Sandwich thing going on:



I can be this pedantic because I've got a C5, identical but for a 5th string (really!). Mine's currently waiting patiently for a de-fret, but it's a lovely-looking, well-constructed bass very comfortable. Not very exciting-sounding, if I remember, and a bit heavy, but a bargain if it's cheap enough.

Like this one on Ebay ending in half an hour:

And that's not a Grind either.

thats the one i was watching jon, i was going to go for it , just changed my mind in the last minute, what model is it then? is it the c4, need a cheap bass while the faker is off the road,
