I saw that on their website. I am just curious if someone had their guitars/basses setup by them, and how good the quality of this service is.

Hi guys, I ordered from thomann a Fender Elite jazz 5 string which i like a lot, but i want to return it for 2 reasons: it's noisy - it needs a good shielding job, and i find the neck to be a little to wide for my taste, for the last 10 years or so i played just one bass, a warwick streamer lx5 which is 17.5 mm string spacing. So i'm thinking to order the same model with 4 strings and tune it BEAD. I talked to the guys from Thomann and they said they will setup the bass for me to acomodate thicker strings: file the nut, intonation, neck adjustment etc etc. Did you had any experience with Thomann setup jobs? I ask because the B string on this bass, the 5 string one, is very nice, it intonates very good, no fret buzz, good sustain. So somehow i'm affraid that on the 4 string version the B will not be the same. Im a little paranoic i know ha ha!

Korg pitchblack tuner draws a maximum of 30mA, i found it in the manual. Like i said earlier, a Duracell battery last me many months. I can't even remember when i change it last time...

Thanks for all the replyes gus! I never thought that a tuner can draw 600 mA... In this case i can power it with a battery. This is the way i use it right now and a duracell battery lasts me for 3-4 months maybe even more....

Hello Rob I used for the recordings: Streamer Lx, Ebs valve drive, Trace Elliot V-Type, Ampeg svt 810E

Hello guys ! We have a new album ready. Take a listen. Any opinions are welcome ! Thank you for your time ! P.S. The name of the band is not inspired from the movie Avatar [url="http://www.myspace.com/avataromania"]http://www.myspace.com/avataromania[/url]

Here is my baby Trace elliot V-Type.

I will buy the 810E but don't sell the 410HE, i will keep it for small gigs where i can't get the fridge. How much 2x410HE sound like an 810E?

Ok guys i changed my mind: i will buy Ampeg 810E

Hello! I have a dilemma: i have one Ampeg SVT410HE cabinet(i like the sound very much) and i need another cab and don't know what to get: another 410HE or a SVT15E. My gear is: -Warwick Streamer LX 5 string -Trace Elliot V-Type all tube head 220W -EBS Valve Drive -Rotosound strings My style is metal. I play pickstyle and use a medium overdriven sound. I mention that i use frequently the B string because my band's style requires it. Check my band's myspace to see what is all about www.myspace.com/avataromania I am looking for an old school metal sound with alot of definition and presence and zero low end mud What combination do you think will be the best for my style? Tnks!!

Damn ! It's very hard for me to choose what i want without hearing the pickups That's why i need your help

Hi Lfalex ! Tnks for your reply. I will answer to you questions: 1. Yes i have 2 MEC jazz pickups but they are active and i think they are a split coil hum cancelling design not a single coil. 2. I play with the EQ by-passed. Here is the link to Nordstrand [url="http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pickups/traditional/traditional.html"]http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pick...raditional.html[/url]

Hello people I need your help please. I have a Warwick Streamer LX5 and i want to change the pickups because i find they sound a little cold and sterile. I play metal with a pick and I want the new pickups to sound more vintage (not modern hi-fi) with alot of lo-mid and hi-mids and not so much treble and bass. I want to buy : - Delano JMVC 5 FE [url="http://www.delano.de/products.html?&..._smtdelano_pi1"]http://www.delano.de/products.html?&..._smtdelano_pi1[/url][cat]=1&tx_smtdelano_pi1[series]=5&tx_smtdelano_pi1[strings]=6&tx_smtdelano_pi1[system]=39 or - Nordstrand NJ5S [url="http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bas...aditional.html"]http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bas...aditional.html[/url] Which one you recommend me? I think mabe single coils will cut-through better but i'm afraid of hum - i have an all tube amp Trace elliot V-Type If you have other ideeas please tell me Thank you !

So in conclusion the lower tubes are preamp and the highrt tubes are input gain stage of the power amp ? Guys can you tell me in what year was made this amp ? Here is the serial number: T0105.0144 Model: VTYPE-H0 It's made in '95-'98 ?

Guys can you tell me in what year was made this amp ? Here is the serial number: T0105.0144 Model: VTYPE-H0 Can you tell me how the EQ works? What are the bass mid and treble freq. ?

[quote name='synaesthesia' post='254443' date='Aug 4 2008, 01:33 PM']Here is a 1996 schematic of the V type preamp, or preamp section. The first two v1 and V2 are in the preamp proper, other two ECC 83s or 12AX7s are in the input gain stage of the power amp section. The V type preamps are all the same , they are 2 valve preamps. FYI, if you are looking for these, across the pond they turn up cheaper and you can re-wire them to work in the UK.[/quote] Thank you! How much it will change the sound if i change the upper tubes from input gain stage of the power amp? I live in Romania.

@Ped I dont have distorsion or compresion. I have changed the 2 sunken tubes with Tung Sol 12ax7 (ecc803S) gold pins - first one ant GT ecc83 - the second one. So you say i should not change the first tube?

Ok guys i have pictures

So a distorting tube power amp can damage speakers just like a clipping solid-state power amp ?

[quote name='bass_ferret' date='Jul 31 2008, 11:15 AM' post='251914'] What part of Tube power amp.

What about all tube amplifiers? I know they don't clip or if they clip is not dangerous for speakers.

I don't have a half power switch. Today i was to rehearsal and pluged the bass into the passive input, put the gain to max and master volume at 12-1 o clock. It was much better with gain at max. I still don't get much drive but it's a better overall sound. Now i'm pleased If i want more drive i have to buy a pedal effect.

Tomorow i'll go to rehearsal and i will crank up that amp. I'll put gain at maximum and the volume at 3-4 o clock. I've never tried it at that volume I'lltell you what are the results.

I have a Warwick Streamer LX5 - active pickups - 9V battery I have never heard of Zvex effects until now How much is it ? Has anyone tried it for bass guitar?
