    Traded the Bass with JD1, nice and easy and a pleasure to do business with. Cheers Charla

    PM's replied. I thought the bass was `noisy' with the original preamp; Jazzes are noisy and I was only used to passive basses and didn't realise that a preamp doesn't help ...... doh!!!! Also anyone who has had a look under the pickguard of a Miller bass would be surprised at how untidy the original electronics are? I did make a note of the original wiring so it is easily replaced. I'll weight the bass when I can get to some scales, it's not that heavy in my opinion; mind you I have a couple of heavy basses so maybe I'm not the best judge? As for trades, sorry folks I'm not looking at Music Man basses and I'm only interested in 5 strings, I have some nice 4 string basses that don't get played enough as it is; if I change my mind I'll let you know. I've had some very interesting offers; I just love this site. Cheers Charla

    Hello fellow BC'ers I'm thinking about trading my Marcus Miller 5 string, with John East MM preamp; the bass I do love, however, I'm not sure about the `active circuit' in that I'm using my USA passive 5 more often as I prefer the sound!!! Crazy I know. So I thought it might be an idea to see if anyone was interested in a trade for something Jazz'like, 5 string, and passive, or not as `hot' as the Marcus Miller. I have the original preamp, which will go with the bass. [attachment=50232:Miller03.JPG][attachment=50233:Miller04.JPG][attachment=50234:Miller05.JPG] [attachment=50231:Miller01.JPG] Don't post the `you have to state a price' comment as at this point it's trade only. If I see something I want to purchase then I might consider selling. Cheers Charla

    I have a 4 string in shedua, can't think of why anyone would have it refinished in black? Gorgeous bass and I would love something like your 5 string to match with the 4. Cheers Charla

    I've decided to keep it, I'd be a fool to let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have now acquired an Amp, so if anyone wants to hit me with a trade against a 5 string Bass; I like Jazzes! Cheers Charla

    Phil I think I'll do that; could I use the deltalight (8ohms) with the blueline (16ohms) until i get another blueline? I have an old Torque 1 x12 monitor, which I was going to restore and was thinking I might be able to use the deltalight in that? Although a diagram for a 1 x 10 cabinet would be handy; I'm not a DIY man, but my best mate is!!!! Cheers Charla

    Thanks again for the advice; I've had a bit of time to look at the cabinet and it's only one speaker making the noise!! So I must have damaged it, possibly when using the EBS td650 and Marcus Miller 5 string at a rehearsal!!!!! I originally planned to use the 2x10 and Ashdown amp with my 4 string basses for quiet gigs. Lesson learnt I think; not sure whether to replace the speaker with another deltalite or try and get another Ashdown blue line to go with the one original that's I have left. Thanks again. Charla

    I have a EBS TD650 and as much as I love the Amp I'm thinking about something lighter. Although I haven't come to a firm decision I thought it would be a good idea to see if there was any interest in a trade for an Amp of comparable quality and performance? The Amp is in excellent condition and is housed in a Gator 3U rack case. Cheers Charla

    Thanks for the support, I'm beginning to regret giving away one of the speakers; that's life. The otherwise cab sounds good!! I will probably give it up as a bad job and use it for low volume rehearsals only; it's starting to get a bit technical for me. I it may be worth thinking about selling the cab and speakers separately to someone who'll use them. I have a lightweight 2x12, which should meet my needs until I grow too old to lift even that, and then have two smaller cabinets again!!!!! Cheers Charla

    Alex Thanks for the comment; I'm not sure what I can do with the port as it's a vent at the bottom of the cab. Would I be wasting my time insulating the cab and what would be best to use? The cab is a `back up' for small gigs or adding to my 2 x 12, but I would like to make it better without wasting money. Would using different speakers be an advanatge? Cheers Charla

    Just a thought, would insulating the cabinet make any difference; it's an Ashdown 2 x 10 compact and has no insulation at present? Oliver I'd love to try a Glock, I've only heard good things about them; if anyone in the North East of England has one I'd like to hear it? Cheers Charla

    Thanks for the feedback: Tried the cab this morning with Ashdown ABM and 4 string Wal; I think I'm pushing the drivers too hard, the cab sounds really good, nice tight sound, then when at volume (about half way on the master volume) the speaker starts to misbehave. I can't tune the ports as this is a vented cab design. So it looks as if it's a `quiet Gigs only' setup, I can't put the old speakers back as I gave one away, and I'm not prepared to try other speakers just yet. Never mind I've always got the the EBS TD650 and Dr Bass 2460!!! Just waiting for a Gig where I can use both cabs together!!!!!! Cheers Charla

    When I got a new 2 x 12 cab I decided to sell the 1 x 15 and make my Ashdown Compact 2 x 10 into a light weight 4 Ohm cab for practice and small gigs; I put 2 Eminence Deltalights into the cab and thought everything was fine. I have been using the Cab with my Ashdown ABM 500 head with a 4 string bass. However, for the past couple of practices with another Band I took my 5 string Jazz. During the second practice I noticed the speaker making a noise when I played below bottom E, which sounded like something vibrating against the cone. Resting your finger against a moving cone gives a similar sound!. My question is have I damaged the speakers or is it just that they can't cope with the low B? Cheers Charla

    I like my AKG K240's three years old now, sound good and it's easy to find replacement parts. Cheapest I've found are at: [url="http://www.studiocare.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=63583&zenid=5rumevjeb1vfkgl72uvuca76m0"]http://www.studiocare.com/store/index.php?...fkgl72uvuca76m0[/url] Which is less than I paid for mine!! Cheers Charla

    Now that would be telling!!!! Yes it looks very much like that, as I said it's sunburst, and the neck is rosewood fretted. Where did you find the photo? I've looked and couldn't find anything like that. I take it the USA neck plate is a replacement? It's in Air Guitars for £499 I believe.

    I've seen a thin line P Bass in a local music shop,it has: a sunburst finish, no scratch plate, F hole, P bass & piezo pickups, three controls, wooden bridge. The neck plate says it's USA, yet the headstock says it made in Japan, it's not the pointy headstock. The serial number on the heal of the neck begins with a N and there's a logo on the end of the headstock which looks like an A (stylised S) E. Any ideas? I've had a look on the Web and can see basses that look similar, but they have scratch plates!! Cheers Charla

    I am finding it difficult to decide whether this bass is `right for me' as a third 5'er to string E to C. However, this bass is a bargain, anyone wanting to venture into 5's should consider this. Geoff will also look after you whilst you're there; don't worry he doesn't look anything like his profile picture! Cheers Charla
