    I've an '82 (serial L00046). Original spaghetti logo. I love her - best sounding bass I've ever owned but she may have to go soon awaiing the torrent of "don't do it"s ..........

    Well it'd have to be Tal if she didn't remind me of my DAUGHTER. God I'm old .............

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='1224158' date='May 8 2011, 03:00 PM']I played a gig where a 4x10 was total overkill last night. Im thinking of picking one of these up....but also thinking a nice 1x12 cab would be more suitable![/quote] I can't imagine it being overkill with our drummer - but I agree maybe a single speaker cab would be nicer. I like the look of the Promethean 1*15 (if you look at my sig you'll see I have a Nemesis 1*15 which I can't recommend enough - love it!) but I already have the 4*10 so I'll take it along and see.

    [quote name='gafbass02' post='1223139' date='May 7 2011, 01:05 PM']Any plans to record it miked?[/quote] No, I always record DI. Tried it in another house today to see if there was any mains borne interference. No real difference. I'm guessing it's typical for this amp - I can't A/B it with another as I'm in the middle of rural France but from what I've read mines not a real bad one. I'll see how it sounds at it's first gig in couple of weeks - plugged into my Warwick 4*10. Hopefully it'll be loud enough ??

    Reviving an old thread - I've just received my Promethean combo and guess what - it hisses!! Thing is it doesn't seem volume related at all - the gain and master settings don't appear to have any effect on the level of hiss - it sounds like psu interference to me?? At least the plus is that at gigi volumes it'll be inaudible. So, should I send it back? Any comments?

    I agree you see some dubious bidding patterns on ebay, some are so blatant it beggars belief. In this case however it all looks legit to me. Good point, bad example (imho)

    Don't suppose you'd ship?

    the strings are tauter near the bridge too, so when it comes to playing fast it can be easier at that end of the the bass. Having said that I agree, I generally prefer the warmth of the neck end.

    [quote name='the_house123' post='282805' date='Sep 12 2008, 05:47 PM']Dude, if you dont have a particular budget for pickups try Andy and his absolutly fantastic hand wound pickups, got myself some 84's and they really turn any bass into a monster. [url="http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/"]wizard pickups[/url] There are a lot of people on here who can vouch for Andy and his customer service is great! Hope this helps[/quote] I have a pair of 84's I'm selling. Almost new, about 4 months old. Bought the wrong ones TBH and can't get on with them.

    good to see. he's 15. If he can stick with it he's gonna be superb. Wish I had been that good at his age.
  13. barneythedog
    I buy from them on a regular basis. Good service, fast, efficient, good prices - what more do you want? Mind you, I live in France so the exchange rate isn't an issue. Bigjohn - just email them and ask them to send the items they have. I've done this on a number of occasions with no problems (or additional shipping cost). Andy

    So, any further news? How's she going?

    I currently have both a Warwick 5.1 and an original Little Mark. The Warwick is for sale. Speaks for itself ?
