That's my favourite thing to do as well. I spend far too long getting parts perfect rather than getting good enough fast.

Sterling Stingray intermittently conks out
Jo.gwillim replied to Little Helios's topic in Repairs and Technical
I had a similar problem with a stingray special. It turned out that all pp3s don't have identical dimensions. The RS own brand fitted in the battery holder fine but didn't quite make contact. Intermittent enough to keep me guessing! -

Jo.gwillim replied to Jo.gwillim's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
In the future they'll find an AI amp that does that I'm sure.Don't want to be around when that occurs! -
I bought this amp about 18 months ago, mostly because I wanted an amp that would work with a 2.7 ohm speaker stack, it sounds great but I spend too much time playing with all the possible sounds it has and not enough learning how to play the right notes at the right time, alas I havent found an amp that quite does that!! Come complete with cables, gig bag, and footswitch. Sorry I'm not sure I still have the manual, but it's available online at https://blackstaramps.com/product/unity-elite-700h The paint has flaked off on the back top right hand corner, see pic. Apart from that it's in really good condition. Here's the website description: The Unity 700H Elite Bass Head is a dynamic, high-headroom piece of gear.

Unbelievably easy quick strap lock sale too Joel, all done in minutes. Many thanks.

A pair of good as new cardioid dynamic mics from the 60's-70's. They have a natty clip that can be used as a desk stand or attached to a mic stand. They've got mono 3.5mm jacks. I used a 3.5mm to quarter inch adaptor to test them out. Both seem to work well. I inherited them from my father out_of_law and haven't used them for 2 years, so would just like to see them find an appreciative home. I'd like to sell them both together, so please dont make me an offer for a single one. -
Really nice Strap locks especially if you have an Ernie Ball bass. I use Jim Dunlops and they're not compatible so up for sale. -
It'll be fine without a cab. Have fun!

Tube power stage vs Class-D (effective power)
Jo.gwillim replied to Paddy Morris's topic in Amps and Cabs
I just wonder, given you don't want a valve sound, and at low power you've got the class D sound you want, how much more class D power would do the trick. I'd be tempted to temporarily try slaving another amp/cab off your existing one just to see. Another thought is your 800W amp 800W at 4ohms and you actually have an 8ohm cab? I'm wondering if that is the case whether a 4ohm cab or 2x 8ohm cabs would give you more headroom? Good luck! -
Thomann have them for sale at £435 at the moment.

I'm always amazed at the caring thoughtful comments people make on bc. When I'm not learning songs to play with bands i just play whatever comes into my head. Often diliberately playing as badly as i can to see what happens. After 15 minutes of not going anywhere something new and interesting usually emerges. Something that often tells me how I'm feeling that day. Good brain therapy. I hope the chemo works.

The complication of all the presets hasn't really gone for me, so i use it as it came out of the box, i don't use effects much at all so one of effects I've turned into a 100hz bump control using the parametric eq fx. It really works well with the barefaced 12 inch cabs. Another thing i love is the bluetooth audio, with a super midget cab i can play along with band rehearsal recordings beamed from my phone. I've learned a lot about what eq settings work in the mix, something i never have time to do during rehearsals.

AMPEG B15 '64 ish mains transformer question .
Jo.gwillim replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
I couldn't make out the pics very well but i suspect the thing is a NTC thermistor. They are used to limit the big surge current as the capacitors are charged at initial switch on. Leaving it out might mean the mains fuse blows on switch on. If this happens you could try anti surge fuse. PS they are designed to run hot, so don't panic! -
Thanks for that really good explanation. I think it would work for me, i wouldn't be adjusting monitor mixes mid song!

How do you set the monitor mixes. With the xr18 you get a different set of faders for each mix, guess you won't get that with the l20 unless they're motorised faders?
