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

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

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?

I have a EHX Bass Blogger which doesn't like being on my pedal board, it makes a sound like an earth hum when I switch on the effect. I have a Tech 21 Double Drive which I have out on loan at the moment and just wanted some feedback about the suitability of using this for bass or should I buy something `bass dedicated'? Cheers Charla

I did 2 deals in quick succession with Jack; bought his Barefaced Compact, then traded for his Barefaced Midget. Very straightforward transaction and honest person to deal with. I would have no hesitation to buy or trade with Jack again.

ikay Message from my mate to say the red wire from the bridge pickup had a break in it and it's sorted. Just needs me to go and check the out the bass functions as it should? I'll be glad to have it back in action. Thanks again for the help. Cheers Charla

I don't have my bass with me as it's with my mate who can solder a lot tidier than I can. But here's a pic with the old pot, which is connected in the same way. I'll get an updated picture when he returns from his holidays! Cheers Charla

ikay I've wired the new balance pot as per the previous replacement and the bridge pickup isn't working. To be honest it looks as if the original red wire from the front PU is missing. Wondered is the wiring for the non original replacement that was in the bass was different? Cheers Charla

Hello Folks I need to replace the pan on my BBNE1. I bought the bass second hand and the pot isn't an original and need help with how to wire the new (yamaha) pot. My mate who is an electrical engineer has done the work, but he seems to think one of the wires from the bridge pickup is missing? So if anyone has a schematic or a photo of the inside of a BBNE1 I'd be very appreciative of a copy? Cheers Charla

Did a Dep for a Band back in the 90's at a local Fair Day. Finished our set and deposited my Wal bass on my guitar stand. While I was getting my case the bassist from the next band tried to move my amp and up turned the Wal face down into the stage. Managed to be gracious, although on later inspection the lacquer had cracked on the back of the headstock and my bridge pickup stopped working. Whilst on Holiday I visited Wal in High Wickham, they repaired my bass the same day and did a set up and restring ........... all for £60. Legends.

Just bought Kenny's Squire VM Jazz Fretless, very open and honest communication and very well packed for posting. Transaction was easy and friendly, he comes highly recommended. Cheers Charla

If you're happy with the range of tones why change the pickup? As previously said, basses are made to be played and will show wear, and it saves you worrying about your first `ding', which will happen if you gig it.

Hello i have the aforementioned EUB and I'm looking for a more traditional sound without having to buy the `real deal'. What strings are the best way to go? I was thinking of Gut a Like as they look good value. I must point out that I'm not working at the moment and cost is an issue! Cheers Charla

I've got some Green Shield Stamps circa 1974, must be worth a mint (Polo not Trebor) if you want to trade? Cheers Charla

Hi folks Due to our singer not being available I'm looking for a Band to play a Dinner Dance at Morpeth Rugby Club on Saturday 11th May. It's £500 only, but message me if you're interested? Cheers Charla

This man needs help!

Just bought Sam's Breedlove Solo BJ350/CMe4; Straight forward transaction, prompt delivery, well packed and everything as it should be. A new arrival to Basschat and I would have no hesitation in dealing with Sam again, kept me informed of the delivery and a man of his word. He got it to me in time for my Birthday, so an added bonus for me, although I don't think there will be much work done today! Cheers Charla
