  1. Hello Having just acquired a CTM 30 to use as a practice amp (not sure the neighbours are appreciative?) the VU light seems to have dimmed with a darker part running across the centre (photo attached). When looking through the vents into the amp the VU seems have plenty of light around it. My question is is this normal or has the a lamp blown? I know VU lamp failure is fairly common with Ashdown amps and it's a purely cosmetic issue as the amp is working well; much louder than I anticipated. Cheers Charla
  2. Just noticed I've put this in the wrong place, can someone move it for me please?
  3. Just bought Phil's Ashdown CTM 30: we did FaceTime so that I could see the amp and ask some questions, and agreed to meet to save me driving through his home town. Honest description and easy transaction, I'd happily buy from Phil in the future.
  4. I've gone with the D'Addario Universal Strap Locks, fingers crossed.
  5. I've been locking at the D'Addario Universal Strap Lock, which has a smooth locking head, has anyone used these? Cheers Charla
  6. Hello Pete, that idea would work but I'm not keen on drilling into the bass which is a 2013 Gibson Memphis ES-335. Cheers Charla
  7. Hello Richard, thanks for the ofrer but the bass has a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and I found these pushed the strap against the body and removed the lacquer. Cheers Charla
  8. I'm a rather portly chap and the button sticks into my stomach and even gets caught in my shirt!
  9. I appreciate the replies. I've had a look at the Dunlop's and they seem to protrude some distance from the body, but the large diameter of the strap button seems good. Not sure I'm reassured by the mechanism fail, nervous is not good! I've also looked at the D'Addario, which looks neat, anyone got any experience? Cheers Charla
  10. Hello I use Schaller strap locks on my basses, however, I have a semi acoustic bass which has the strap pin on the back of the body and I find the Shaller uncomfortable against my body. I've tried the rubber / plastic strap locks, but they are tight and have marked the body. I'm looking for something which will be secure but with a lower profile than the Schaller, so any input re suitable strap locks will be appreciated? Cheers Charla
  11. Sandberg don't have any old stock, so it looks like a trip to see the Bass Doc.
  12. I'd read somewhere that Sandberg weren't supplying them for the same reason they changed the design of the California models. However, I have sent a message on the off chance, but I'm thinking that I'll have to have one made ......... probably the cheaper option!
  13. Thanks, I’ll keep him in mind should I want something more unusual. BassDoc who is local to me can make me a Tort plate, I was just seeing if I could source a Sandberg scratchplate. Cheers Charla
  14. Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have or know where I can get a Tortoise shell Scratchplate for my Mk1 TM4 supreme? Cheers Charla
  15. I bought an EBS HD350 from Barry, straightforward transaction, promptly posted with no hassle. Never met him but from this deal and his comms he sounds like a good guy, must say that I've always had a positive experience when buying/selling on Basschat. Thanks again Barry, I like mu Reidmar but it's good to have some good old EBS heft back again! Cheers Charla
  16. Always fancied an HD350, I used to have an TD650, which was way too much for my needs. However, I'm in South East Northumberland, which is a tad more than 50 miles from Exeter!
  17. Dood That's brilliant and very much appreciated. The Tech thought it was a pre amp problem but said the Eden wasn't straightforward to reverse engineer and didn't want to waste my money. Looking forward to taking the Eden out once it's sorted. You've made me a happy chap and once again Basschat comes to the rescue. Double Cheers Charla
  18. I have an Eden wt405 which has developed an intermittent fault. I took it to my local Tech who contacted Marshall as per the Eden website advice and was advised that they didn't have a schematic for the wt405, apparently it's too old (made in 2005). Just wondered if anyone on here has one, or can find a link as I'm otherwise left with an amp I can't trust to gig. Cheers Charla
  19. I totally understand why you're offering collection only, but why do you have to be in Worcester when I'm in Northumberland! Mind you I fear it may be too wide to sit on top of my Barefaced Compact?
  20. I've just bought Brian's USA Precision, straightforward transaction, honest description of the Bass and good communication; looked pristine in the photos but Brian told me about marks which are barely visible in the flesh. The bass was well packed, the case was wrapped and sealed then placed in a cardboard box which was well padded; I've bought from one well know Bass shop which doesn't package as well as this. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Brian again or recommend him to anyone else on Basschat. Cheers Charla
  21. Thanks for the feedback. There's an EBS Multidrive for sale, think I might drop Old Horse Murphy a message, but I might wait until I get the Double Drive back and see how it sounds?
