  1. Its the larger blue capacitor on the left that i changed.
  2. Typically at a packed gig my OTB 500W head dies Why does this never happen in rehearsals but only at the great gigs? Light went out, no sound...i thought fuse but that was ok. Ironically there was no foldback over my side of the stage due to issues with the foldback set up. I had to stand right up to the PA to hear my bass coming through , pfft! nightmare with a bloody trumpet parping away in my ear. Anyhow, it turns out a capacitor had broken off the PSU part of the amp, not the big power mama's but the next size down, 2200uF 63V, jobbies. So i thought hmmm, easy job, and off to Maplins i went. Soldered a new capacitor and still nothing. No lights or sound. Checked all fuses, no issues. Got 240Vs coming in from my multimeter & 18Vdc at the amp bit, but no l.e.d.s on the board are on. Tried capacitor the other way around, still no joy. Did mantras etc...no luck So what are my options? I'm out of warranty from Orange & Mansons i guess, particularly as there was a capacitor or similar came loose 10 months before this issue,it was by the mains input this time. Our keyboard player fixed that issue quickly. I'm kicking myself now as i should have got it repaired under warranty then but the urgency was i needed my amp asap as i was committed to a lot of function gigs at that time and had no spare. oh, and i changed the tubes too. I'm wondering if i should contact Orange and see if they'll repair and i'll have to pay up??? Any other ideas welcome? I have an ONC in electronics although that was 20years ago so have forgotten a lot being a social worker these days ....any help or ideas welcome though. I love my Orange...hope its not time to bury it.
  3. Met with Simon, somewhere in between the middle of nowhere to do a bass trade. It was a pleasure to meet Simon who is a lovely friendly chap and equally the trade went smoothly too, both happy. Buyers/Sellers/Trades can deal in total confidence. Thanks Simon, i'm hoping this bass will be a keeper . All the best - Lee
  4. Got a picture at all ?
  5. C'mon Eileen of course
  6. Wow, what a read that lot was. Well done BC crew
  7. Just done a recent trade with Phil. Top fellow and great communications throughout. Another safe and credible bass chatter in my experience - deal with confidence.
  8. Just a thought, can an HH not be converted to either a HS or H with the change of a pick guard and added pickup for the HS ? Nice to have those options as opposed to living with just an H perhaps?
  9. Yes bless him on all his great work - a true wizard, and good luck on his retirement plans i say. BTW, I have some Wizard Vintage P/J's - £200 or best offer ....only joking, they'll be worth 3 times that in years to come, along with Ryder basses, and i'm not selling them either...cuz they're lovely
  10. Michael is a top, top, top fellow. I needed a JD bass wah for a forthcoming festival gig,and despite being on his holidays he sold me his and went out of his way to get it to me not only before the gig but for a gig pre practice too. I cannot praise Michael enough, a true credit to basschat PS. It worked awesome at practice and did exactly what i needed it for....i'm back in the drummers good books -thanks
  11. Art v Science debate! I'm not sure talent can be achieved through SMART, my opinion of course

  13. 5 Sue Ryders....they'll be collectors items one day... ...honest
  14. Rio - Duran Duran (Guilty pleasure!). I think Al Green's 'Lets Stay Together' is a fun bass line too, not an over exciting tune but great bass none the less.

  17. [quote name='olliedf89' timestamp='1374684224' post='2151858'] Someone buy this man's 5 strings! I'd be seriously interested in a swap with that Lakland if only it was a 4 string! [/quote] You do know the Laky 5501 is the easiest 5 string to play ever and of course it will sound totally 'awesome' with Nordstrand pick ups too ...seriously though its an easy transition and not too confusing after a couple of jams, alternatively remove a string - you'd thank me....eventually
  18. I'd sooo be tempted to this bass if one of my fivers would sell
  19. [quote name='robgo' timestamp='1374526215' post='2149814'] These are awesome basses, I've got the same one (but in black) with nordy pups and an audere pre, although I did run it passive for a while and it did sound awesome. This is worth twice what he's asking. I'd buy it if I didn't have one already! [/quote] Cheers dude, yup I totally agree...sign of the skint times though I think

  21. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1374048297' post='2144511'] It just staggers me that this hasn't sold yet! I was interested initially but unfortunately, needing to put funds into a lightweight rig has meant I couldn't go for this... But seriously, a[b] 5 string Lakland bass[/b] with [b]Nordstrand pick ups[/b] for [b]only £500 [/b]is just madness!!! [/quote] Cheers dude , yeah i know its madness - maybe its too cheap and i should put it up to raise more interest - I've had my fair share of dreamers on this sale but its still here; its a serious piece of kit for a player who knows their basses.......i'm going to give it a few more days i think. I really felt the love with it last weekend at a gig and am quite tempted to keep it, hard pushed really to get a better 5.
  22. Interested in my Lakland 5501 that i have up on here?
  23. A considering selling my USA 5 Fender and keeping this one bump
