fleabag

My pal plays jazz guitar, amongst other styles, and being a grade 8 teacher of guitar, i guess he knows whats what. He uses a Marshall AS50D, and leaves it at my place for impromptu jamming. Its a superb amp. Not expensive - think they can picked up for £100-£135

I would certainly go with Ped and Bass Apprentice choices. Cort make pretty good basses, and so do Sire. I've owned a Sire in the past. The Ibanez would also be a good choice, but a little more expensive, if you can stretch to 33,000 Rupees

£300 seems very reasonable for a pro to ply their skills. Thing is Mick, you say you dont have the tools so you're going to have to up your budget from the £300 course fee. You could buy second hand, and if you do, i would be asking Jabba, Christine, Andy, what makes to look out for, and which would be essential for the work

Maybe Andy was partially asleep at the time

I had a search of my Ebay purchases for the P bass neck i bought, which i sent to Andy JR on these forums to build a body. The neck was superb, and didnt need a thing doing to it. It wasnt expensive , around £70/£80 delivered ( cant remember exactly ) but it was from a UK seller. Trouble is, i can no longer find him. One's Ebay purchases dont seem to stay in the purchase list forever, so i cant be any more help with that particular guy

£53.79 is not the price you'll pay VAT is charged at 20% on goods sent from non-EU countries if they are worth more than £15. Customs duty at 2.5% is charged on items with a value between £135 and £630.

I smell a rodent

I also had the Superly, and mine was 99% brillant, but quite a few suffered from that high pitched digital clock whine, on one channel IIRC. Apparently there was nothing could be done. Possibly cheap Chinese components, but i bought mine 2nd hand so never got to debate with Ashdown about it. I also dumped the rediculous alloy outer casing. Save a fair bit of weight. Bill Fitzmaurice used to use one, or maybe still does

I thought Peavey took over TE ? Anyways - Ashdown bargains ?

Thats a fine looking axe right there, Rob. Great work

Oooh, bargain. Cheers Pedro

Its a shame Andertons dont follow the EBS policies.

So Jaco did it Frank's way ?

One more question .. The PA main/top end cabs are active, well one cab is, so it powers the other cab ( daisy chained ) The powered main/top cab also has a sub out socket, so one of the guys said we can run the sub off that sub out socket, but does that mean we'll have that powered cab powering the amp in the RCF sub ? I dont like the idea of one amp driving another amp.

Thanks chaps - great info and yes, lobbed the funny looking plug off the end, and it the same colour coded wires as UK, so, blue / brown / green stripe. So yes, its earthed and slapped a 5 amp in as advised. Work out with the band planned for next week, so we'll see how the woofie beast behaves

PS after speaking to Andertons, they said RCF usually put a UK mains cable inside, from the factory in Italy, but this one slipped through the net.

Hi OB 1 No, not hard wired, so wondering if i can snip the useless plug off, and wire on a UK plug, with 13 amp fuse. I have UK IEC cable here but this one is quite a bit longer and i'd like to keep it

Just received my new RCF 705 AS-ll and it arrived with a 16 amp, 2 round pin, mains cable. Anyone know what that's about ? I'd cut off the round pin and wire on a UK 3 pin, but a 16 amp fuse ? Weird

Here's a message from last year on editing PM's and we were told not possible

The edit button missing in my PM posts, and has been since the upgrade, so its not possible , in my case

Complete fail on the attempt at humour in the description.
