[quote name='Sibob' post='333571' date='Nov 21 2008, 12:45 AM']I can change the DI volume of my Ashdown using the Input Volume knob And use the Output volume knob for 'stage' volume tweeks without affecting the volume of the signal going to the PA How does it work on the Hartke? Si[/quote] Fair enough, I thought it was a fixed level, nevermind. The Hartke has a magic preamp I'm still trying to figure out what would happen with a borderline signal too high for passive and too low for active. And if the input signal is very quiet (and non-adjustable), surely you have to push the output stage more to get the same volume as you would with a "proper" signal from the preamp?

Aha so it was you who bought that body I was watching it but missed the auction

I think like the Ashdown the DI volume will be a set level.

[quote name='Sibob' post='332366' date='Nov 19 2008, 03:15 PM']I'm mostly interested in what peoples expereinces are of using it onstage DI'd into a PA, the only reason I ask is because my Ashdown ABM has an [b]input volume and an output volume[/b] (i know this has been discussed in this thread already). But with this I'm able to set the volume going to the PA, and then my onstage volume seperately, which is extremely helpful. How does the Hartke compare? only having one volume etc.[/quote] DON'T GO THERE!

Does the preamp section have its own power transformer inside? Although not ideal, a solution would be to take the pre and power amp out into their own case and just use the power amp solely as a power supply. Go from the preamp signal out into your bass power amp.

Also bear in mind speaker configuration. Look for something with at least 2x10", 2x12" or a good 1x15".

Speaker cable arrived today. Excellent.

I'd have used screws anyway, that way you're not drilling right through the walls and potentially getting air leaks. It'll also be easier to permanently remove the castors without the need to fill bolt holes to seal the cab again. Too late by the sounds of it

[quote name='bassmansky' post='330053' date='Nov 16 2008, 12:28 PM']my opinion is on ashdown gear . if its older gear it is uk built which was exspensive to buy new and is a lot better than prc made so anyone who is into ashdown gear will buy /sell at a price they now they could get or are prepared to pay.i would pay £400 for uk built 4years old than i would £500 new made in prc for example.same with ampeg,peavey etc.mainly applies to heads and combo's.[/quote] +1, £400 isn't bad. The BIN however is optimistic to say the least [quote name='Sean' post='330103' date='Nov 16 2008, 02:42 PM'] Dude, some punctuation and a nod toward standard English syntax would be much appreciated. That post is utter garbage.[/quote] And your post is utterly irrelevant, GTFO.

Any reason why no students?

[quote name='Wil' post='331265' date='Nov 18 2008, 09:26 AM']Yep! This saved my bacon when I rounded a silly small sized allen bolt that was impossible to cut a slot into due to its location. Bang bang, job done.[/quote] I was joking, but kudos

A 6mm and a hammer

They were selling for about £750 new a few years ago

I think all the Ric's (orig + copies) are up in price atm due to Rickenbacker not meeting unusually high demand or something along those lines. Music Ground (Oxford Road) have/had a 4003 (I think) priced at £1700

I use decent Levy's ones

Racing stripes?

Don't expect to find anything in Chester or Warrington, check out the Manchester stores mentioned.

Hey dude I'll take the two Japanese tuners, can you PM the price + your paypal address and I'll send through the money

Hi, do you have any pics? Cheers

Some short self-tapping screws should do the trick. Try your local hardware store, and get ones with a flange head ()

+1, mega output from the Thumper. Plenty of bass and mids
