    Doh! Too far for collection but thanks for the heads up!

    Ha - yellow pages!!

    Yeah I was trying to get it to balance better with the bridge pickup which has had the cap bypassed. Also the pole pieces don't line up and I was hoping to be able to compensate by adjusting them on the new pup!!

    Just thought I'd share some shots of my '77 Burgundyglo Rick 4001. I use this for recording and 'special' gigs. The pics are warts and all showing good and bad! Note '77 scratched into the headstock just below the tuners - not by me!! Anyone other than Alec care to own up to previously owning this?!

    I wouldn't mind one of these to go with my Big Baby II. Need a black grille though. Good luck with the sale!

    No worries Mister!

    My son revalved it and did some magic inside so it's very useable now. I've been recording some tracks for the new Stray album with it. The early break up works really well for recording as I can get THAT tone without blowing the windows out. I have been tempted to sell as it's worth a fortune now but shall keep as an investment. It's also what the original bass player in Stray used. I might see if at can be fettled for more Headroom!

    Fab - thanks!

    Will it also be on freesat?

    Quick update on this. After my initial delight I've found I've been struggling a bit to get the awesomeness I was expecting. Having done a bit of digging, I've found some of them shipped with the wrong type of valve in the phase splitter position. I gingerly took the back off mine and investigated and sure enough, there was a 12AX7 instead of a 12AT7. I ordered a new valve and the difference is night and day. More clean headroom, much nicer, less fizzy sounding distortion channel and even the eq sounds more powerful. A little bit of lockdown happiness for his tutness!

    Thank you buddy!

    I recently took delivery of a B Stock Peavey VB - 2 225W valve amp. These have 6 power valves, 2 12AX7 preamp valves and a 12AT7 driver tube/phase splitter. I'd read reports that some units shipped mistakenly with a12AX7 valve in place of the 12AT7 valve. I had the back off mine today, got the tube cover off and had a peek, and sure enough, mine has the wrong valve in. The valve seems to be sunken into the chassis, so my question is, does it just pull out? It seems quite firmly inserted and I'm a bit nervous about damaging it! Also, can I buy any old 12AT7 tube or is a certain make/type recommended? Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, what's the weight please and is the neck narrow Jazz width or traditional Precision?

    That looks lovely. My surname is Kempster. Where's the shop?

    I originally put the Goldo Bridge on that red Bronco. They are a pain to set up but once done you can forget about it. The spacing is adjustable but at it's minimum is slightly wider than original set up. I've got one on my Musicmaster as well. If you have a little patience, they're a cheap fix.

    I think a lot of it depends on your band situation. A couple of years ago I was running my own band that I fronted as a singing bass player also supplying and running the PA and lights. So much gear to cart about and set up so anyway I could minimise gear and have one less run out to the car was most welcome. I could fit my GK MB500 into my gig bag and still get a reasonable sound. Now I’m playing in a touring band, we have the luxury of Roadies. I can concentrate on tone rather than convenience, hence the addition of an all valve brute of an amp. Just can’t bloody wait to gig it!

    I haven't noticed too many active short scales. Chownys mebbe? Been thinking about putting a pre in my Ibanez TMB 30. Need to see if there's room for a battery.

    I've been gigging with a Veyrom 1001T up until lockdown and can thoroughly recommend. Bigger than the Elf but still light and transportable. Huge volume and nice warm tone. For a more modern sound the MOSFET version might appeal.

    Bought an amp case from Martin. As described, a great price and well packed. Great Comms and s pleasure to do business with!
  21. King Tut
    I was wondering if that was the case. It happens at low volume levels though. Or do you mean that through using them together I've damaged the speaker?
  22. King Tut
    I've got a feeling that the white bits showing in the pic are gaps. It's hard to tell though. I've tried the amp with a 4x10 with tweeter also and it's fine.
  23. King Tut
    Thanks fellas. I've researched a few posts on Talkbass and I'm gonna treat this as an 8 ohm cab.

    Ive got and gigged both of those amps. The ELF is loud enough to gig if you have loud cabs. When we played at The 100 Club last November, I lent my ELF to the support band. it was through a Big Baby II stacked on top of an Eden EX112. The sound engineer had to ask the bass player to turn down. The SM amp is louder still and sounds more awesome. it's weightier but not unmanageable. I personally wouldn't want to take it on public transport. It's also more versatile than the ELF. If I was relying on public transport I'd get the ELF but it's not as good an amp as the big bugger!

    Quick update. I've taken the cover off the Eden cab. Looking at where the whizzer cone joins the main driver, I can see that the shiny black sealant stuff isn't consistent all the way round. Does this mean the speaker has failed? See pics.
