How old is the cab? Might be the speakers bedding in (or whatever technical term people who actually know about this stuff use!) if you bought it new recently

Plugged into my Pandora via the line out and into my stereo and noise remained, took outer cover off and gave it the tap and jiggle test and still the same, plugged bass in and had a widdle and gradually it went away. Now starts and runs without a noise so I'm guessing it got damp and cold in my car, it was left in there last night too. As I said to MB1 in PM I'll sleep with it under my pillow from now on The spare amp will be with me at all times though![/quote] I'd leave the outer covers off, all they do is add weight and make the amp overheat (and look fugly). Maybe take the amp to someone reputable for a check over? My Superfly used to cut out and came back on when i took the lead out and inserted it again, fortunately i bought it new and this was in the first week of having it so it was repaired When all amps get gremlins it's hard to trust them again, moreso with Superflys because of all the bad press. Mine has been fine for ages but i still wouldn't totally trust it

I wonder if, when the bass doesn't sell, he'll have a cry at Gumtree too? And ffs, it's [b]SCHECTER!!!!!!![/b] If you're selling a bass learn how to spell the maker! It would be incredibly childish for BCers to send him baiting mesages in caps lock using the pseudonym of Tim of course......

I tried to sell my black Warwick but no-one wanted it because it had a fish on it [/quote] But the fish saved you from selling a bass you later realised was a keeper, so you owe the perch one! Wish i'd have stuck a fish on my old Corvette... sniff....

[quote name='TheFear' post='1029073' date='Nov 19 2010, 11:29 AM']TIM! Have a nice day![/quote] Weird, you assume somebody who plays a sh1tty emo bass and posts childish rants on a forum when he doesn't get his own way would look like a spotty teenager, not an overweight middle-aged fella. Only child maybe? Rslaing?

Spelling the make of your bass correctly would help people who are searching for one - it's "S[b]c[/b]hecter", not "Shecter". Also acting like an ignorant berk on the forum and using caps lock (really annoying) is a sure fire way to make people wary of dealing with you. But yeah, good luck with the sale!

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1028178' date='Nov 18 2010, 04:55 PM']I was wondering if anyone has or knows of any modding done to the Stagg EUB? In the short time that I owned the Palatino EUB, there sprung up a huge modding scene on them - things like stands for hands free playing, pickup upgrades etc. Was wondering if anyone had done something similar? Annoyingly, the Stagg when it first came out was £250, it's now closer to £350. More annoyingly, I had the chance to purchase one for £200 way back in the day and never did. I'm considering one, but I'm interested to see if anyone has improved upon the design?[/quote] Mateybass did a few mods for his with online pics. I think most of the mods for the Palatino were to solve problems not present in the Stagg, such as the tinny trebly piezo and lack of stand. The Stagg has a commercially available stand and the tone is good out of the box Common things to do on a Stagg are lining the control cavity, wrapping the endpin to solve the rattle problem and using foam/rubber dampeners at the bridge

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='1027207' date='Nov 17 2010, 07:20 PM']Seem to recall that Planet Waves cables use oversize plugs too. Utterly unnecessary IMO. If you don't want it to happen in the future, either run up your own cables with standard Neutrik plugs, or get a couple from our very own [url="http://www.bassic-bits.co.uk/"]OBBM[/url] P.[/quote] Yep, i seem to remember that they had compression springs in the tip which put constant pressure on the jack socket. I ditched mine for obbm and home-made ones ages ago, Neutrik connectors all the way for me. If i'm spending £20+ on a lead it's the least i expect

It's also worth looking in your local paper. Mine has a free ads section once a week and there's some true bargains in there

Another +1 on the neck, i suddenly want wenge necks on all my jazzes now!

I'll take Starfox please!

How much would postage be mate?

It has a fog and siren alert so you should definitely try to gig it! Doesn't look particularly useful, what's it's actual intended purpose? It says auto/marine in the link

They did do a guitar version too, looks legit to me

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1020536' date='Nov 11 2010, 06:53 PM']Ignorant troglodyte - someone should send him a link to this thread. Watching. Jon.[/quote] He'd have to join first so that would backfire! On the other hand he might learn how to use eBay properly and realise that the watch function isn't just there to taunt him

Just noticed this on eBay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-SQUIER-PRECISION-SPECIAL-BASS-CASE-RARE-/170562764684?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item27b6553f8c"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-SQUIER-PRECIS...=item27b6553f8c[/url] The seller is a member on here (same name) so maybe give him a shout? That plus a P neck would be sweet!

Whereabouts are you? You may have a good luthier nearby The Gallery have a great reputation for defrets and charge £90 which is very reasonable given it's the Sei Bass workshop: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/workshop.cfm"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/workshop.cfm[/url] If you can get the bass down there then that's a no-brainer.
