Thats a bit odd. If i was the seller of the bass you won, it would be ME who insisted on insured delivery, because if it turned up as a box of matchwood, its the seller who loses out financially with Ebay. The seller also has the unenviable task of trying to get their compensation from the courier As a buyer, all you have to do is hit the resolution button

Cheers JB

It wasn't as easy i'd imagined. Man shed with space to work and some proper power tools would have made it a lot easier If it hadn't have been for Richard, it would never have happened. Luckily i got guided through the maze
-
Which could be made a lot simpler -
Just remembered - totally over the top
-
Thanks Stew Very happy mate
-
No need to have to ask, wait for a reply, only to find out its a no go. Having a location, and then stating postage would be a lot easier for everyone. After all , if you're trying to sell something, adding relevant info is par for the course isn't it ? Thats if you want to sell
-
Could be a good idea for a seller to mention it then ?
-
Hmm... no postage info, or collection only, and no location Way to go

When i needed to shield a bass pre cavity many moons ago, i found copper foil , with sticky backing, on a roll, just like seloptape. Mind you, it was quite thin, which may not be your bag. Very convenient though
-
Ah of course - fair play. Nicer looking logo allround, anways
-
Its probably similar. Its called Knauf but it doesnt seem itchy at all
-
What was wrong with leaving the Harley Benton decal on it ?
-
Its a pity ya cant buy this stuff by the square metre. 7.28 Metre roll and did nearly the whole cab with a square metre. Only 6.28 metres left
-
Cheers MBA I'm liking it. I thought i'd end up with a boxy bonfire cab, but the opposite is true. I've bought meself a pint
-
Cheers HRH Yep, bottom end is where i roll. And so does this cab. It doesnt buzz or vibrate, and with the crackle gone, we have a winner ! Buy yourself a pint and i'll send Speckled Jim over with a £5 note
-
TVM Its getting a workout as i've got Art Garfunkel , John Martyn , Vaya Con Dios and other tracks to learn
-
Bingo - tried it outside cab first No scratchy, no crackly. What is all that about then ? I can only think that the basket was slightly twisted due to uneven torquing of retaining bolts. But whatever it was, its gone. Cab sounds very clean, with a hint of warm, even down to big flappy E on a EUB. No farty, no boomy. Its probably a 50 Lb + cab, but i can live with that.
-
Throw 'em in the bin. 5+ are the spawn of the devil
-
Ok, i'll stuff it back in the cab, but rotate it 180 degrees, and then do a proper torque sequence as mr spondon noted and see how things go
-
You've been a great help
-
PS chaps - thanks to all for chipping in quickly at this late hour. Appreciated muchly
-
Right chaps - did the cup method, couldn't hear much, maybe a slight whoosh, but nothing like the scraping heard before. Took the driver out, checked for obvious splits / damage / damage to thin coil wires, and all ok. Tried the cup method again and .... silence ??
-
I'll whip the driver out next and check those. I know a new driver from BA is about £118 , but for a repair, when you factor in postage each way for a 17 LB + driver , then repairs, i cannot see this as being economical
-
Thanks chaps - will have another go using the cup method. I did a bit of googling too, and someone mentioned that a possibility was torquing the driver mount bolts in an ueven fashion, slightly warping the basket. Any ideas on that ?
