    As explained elsewhere @NikNik, in Japan, the item is for sale on commission, but any shop accepted in the "system" can propose it at whatever price they want as long as they pay the asking price for the sale. 😉

    Since when a thread is not derailing on BassChat... And here it's a soft and nice one. Don't withdraw anything @rwillett.

    Everything depends of or even on your skills, of course @rwillett. A friend of mine entirely built a bass as a end of school project with the CNC machine they had there and it took him less time than building the same one by himself, which he did before. I used AutoCad 3D for myself many years ago and was able to recreate a violin top using the method of Antonio Bagatella (published in 1782, Padova, Italy) that you can find in the Nouveau manuel du luthier (Encyclopédie Roret, 1894) book with a mistake mentioned by the authors that I corrected (the system of measures used was a bit of nightmare to convert), but it didn't take me more than a few days and it's not my job. Another friend of mine who is an architect can generate a program to build an entire bass in less than a day as he's very skilled (that's the less you can say) and he did it for me once for an aborted project as renting the CNC was cost prohibitive for me. So, yes it can be a trial, error, correct, retrial, recorrect and repeat process, but not if you really master all the process, which CNC operators should.

    Sorry, but $7800 USD is way too high for the basic neck through model especially CNC made, which means a one day job to totally finish it, when it would take at least close to a month to make it totally by hand. So even with single units, a CNC cuts everything down including the price. And as @LeftyJ said, Warwick says hi. 😉
  5. Hellzero
    I like the concept and fully understand the idea, but the price is totally delirious according to the fact that it's a CNC made instrument. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Tele plate for me too, but please don't put any scratchplate on that beautiful flamed maple.

    I'd like to thank the tables and chairs that have been supporting us during our gig.
  8. Hellzero
    Sold, paid and gone.
  9. Hellzero
    And, on hold. 🙂

    Hey Toni, yes I'm fine now, thanks. 😊

    €1100 EUR: TRICKFISH BullHead 1K, almost new, with user manual, power lead and original box. Basically a Mike Pope FlexCore preamp (Fodera) coupled to a Pascal 1000 Watts power amp without any fan! Again for sale as I got it back in a multi trade, but it really is surplus to requirement... NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden : €1100 Euros (£975 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) !!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. In perfect working condition and almost new. Here are the specifications : Power Output: 4 Ohms: 1000W @ 1% THD 8 Ohms: 1000W @ 1% THD Power Amplifier: Class D Power Supply: Switch-Mode Power Supply Pre-Amp: Low noise solid state Input: ¼’ Phone with switchable attenuation and rotary gain control Input Level Indicator: 10 Segment LED Ladder EQ: 4 Band Switchable Shelving Bass and Treble with selectable Hi-Pass frequencies Low-Mid and Hi –Mid -Variable Gain, Band Pass EQ with selectable frequency/ bandwidth options Master Volume: Rotary Control Line In: 1/8” mini jack Headphone Out: Stereo ¼” Phone jack Mute Switch AC Mains Power Switch with LED Indicator EFX Loop: Series/Parallel selectable, w/ground lift Tuner Out: ¼” Phone Jack Mute Footswitch: ¼” Phone Jack, Latching type switch Direct Out: 600 Ohm Balanced, XLR, Pre/Post, Ground Lift and Level control Speaker Outputs: 2 x Neutrik Combi-Connectors accept NL2, NL4 or ¼” Phone Chassis: Aluminium Removable Rubber Feet: Adhesive backed Rack Ears: Optional Size: (H x W x D in.) 3.39 x 15.1 x 8 (H x W x D cm) 8.6 x 38.41 x 20.32 Country of origin: U.S.A. Serial number: 30119 Weight: 6.7 lbs / 3.05 kg Non-smoking environment as usual. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is almost new. Here is the link to the TrickFish BullHead 1k page: https://www.trickfishamps.com/shop/bullhead-1k/ Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

    At the now close to infinite exponential learning curve of AI, if we, as human beings, don't react and regulate it, or even better stop it definitely, we'll all be history in less than 10 years or maybe way less... Remember that AI is not able to learn nor understand emotion or mood, so when it will decide to erase mankind, it will be done within seconds, but it looks like nobody noticed it.
  13. Hellzero
    Furthermore, thanks to the Brexit, the marketplace is even smaller, don't forget that very important point and most of the asking prices are, as said above, ridiculously high.
  14. Hellzero
    You still can rebias the output stage tubes to this specific load to avoid this, but nobody will do it, except some crazy techs. 😉 And yes I've seen some melted output transformers in my life, but way more blown speakers leading to this, both for mismatched impedance.
  15. Hellzero
    Much higher impedance loads, not putting an 8 Ohms cabinet on a 4 Ohms output transformer (OT) tap...
  16. Hellzero
    Cabinet "x" Ohms ≥ Amplifier "x" Ohms. Or is still too complicated @bagsieblue ?
  17. Hellzero
    And you are right. To keep it simple with (valve) amplifiers always use the amplifier's output (tap) matching the cabinet impedance, never use a lower impedance cabinet than the output impedance (tap) chosen on the amp, but you can use higher impedance cabinet than the impedance of the amplifier's output (tap), even if it can create some slight distorsion or slight out of phase sound, which you won't really notice and certainly not the audience. Clearer?
  18. Hellzero
    You still can rewire the cabinet itself to change the overall impedance.
  19. Hellzero
    And to add even more confusion to this, while speaker impedances are most often rated at 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or higher Ohms loads (or even lower than 1 Ohm, and even with decimals), their real impedance will vary between 6Ω and 32Ω for an individual speaker, whatever impedance is labelled on the speaker or the cabinet. A lower impedance cabinet or speaker than the tap output labelled impedance will, in the end, see the wire itself burn because of the heat generated or break because of the higher extension of the cone(s) blowing the output transformer (see @agedhorse explanation above). On the other hand, if speaker impedance is really too high, say 32 Ohms on a 2 Ohms tap, the amplifier's power may not drive the speaker at all, but who would do that... Maybe we can also talk about of the form of wave generated by the output stage when driven too hard to add even more complexity to what originally was a simple question...
  20. Hellzero
    Excellent amp. I own one as well as CTM-300, but tend to prefer the CTM-100 that I couple to a CL-414H. GLWYS.
  21. Hellzero
    Definitely right @dmccombe7 ! 🤦🏻‍♂️
  22. Hellzero
    Running an 8 Ohms cabinet on a 4 or 2 Ohms output won't damage anything, it's the opposite that will blow out the output transformer... So it's absolutely not a non compatible cabinet, but a totally compatible one. 😉
  23. Hellzero
    But not the second one in Germany...
  24. Hellzero
    There are two ATK 800 in Germany: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/ibanez-atk800-bass/2446215313-74-23511 https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/ibanez-atk800-wnf-premium-walnut-nur-ca-3-9kg-case-versand/2394701189-74-8 And one ATK 810 in Italy: https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_ibanez-atk-810-premium_id7113474.html?stkn=R5X2aV2N9JY67Dwg
  25. Hellzero
    Yes!
