I've a friend looking to unload my old Trace 300W 1x15 for £180 I could hook you up with. Local-ish too...

Ah, ok then, I might suggest that it's only the cab he needs to change then. It seems that all 15s are not equal then, there's a lot more high mids on my Compact than that Ampeg, that's for sure... Thanks for your input chaps.

Hi All last night I used the bass rig from our drummers other band as we were on the same bill. I'm not sure what the cab configuration was, possibly 1x15 as It seemed a bit too small for a 4x10. It sounded plenty loud in the bass (almost too much) but however I set the amp,there was just no top end at all. The amp was an Ashdown LG1000 with the treble right up, and I also tweaked the treble right up on my MXR Bass DI+. Just made NO Difference. It sounded like the cab was lowpassed at about 2khz max. Any suggestions? Do some Ampeg cabs have mid crossover that could have failed, or something. The guy said he was looking to get a new rig because of this issue. Cheers

Only just spotted this thread, but as someone else pointed out, the brown thing isn't a cap, it is either a varistor or thermally resettable fuse. If this has been added by a third party, it may not have been correctly rated. Not sure about the blue one either. Doesn't look like the normal fare for a crossover. The PTC on it may be positive temperature coefficient, i.e. another protection component

The same as you already have, if you like the sound of it.

Amazing bit of kit, although I think technically it's more of a graphic eq than a pre-amp. I'd love to see this incorporated into a new class-D unit. [/quote] Like an Ashdown Superfly?

unusual colour too. I'm sure you could trim the headstock if it bothered you that much, you aint exactly going to ruin the resale value!

Is it just me, or is the headstock on the Graft range reminiscent of Kryten's head? [url="http://file.stuff.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/kryten.jpg"]http://file.stuff.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/kryten.jpg[/url]

That's an Integra, for sure.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1409158937' post='2536966'] This is lovely, Nigel. And available on vinyl too!! I'm gonna order a copy. Funnilly enough I saw a sitar player at a local gig this weekend. He was accompanied by a guy on 6 string bass. It was magical! I was thinking of starting a thread to see if anyone had any recommendations for sitar/Indian/fusion type music. But spookily enough, here was your thread just when I needed it, lol [/quote] Try "Indo Jazz Fusion" by John Mayer and Joe Harriot for a take from the 60s and Bada Boom by Ranjit Barot for more modern fusion.

Presumably not to be confused with the long-standing American band of the same name? : [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defunkt"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defunkt[/url]

I'm sure someone like Wembley Loudspeakers be able to repair it for a lot less than £120. Worth giving them a shout.

Or get the offending speaker mended by Wembley Loudspeakers. They can pretty much repair anything that can go wrong with a speaker. Might cost about the same as a replacement, but at least it will be the same as the other speaker

Re playing sitting down, can't you play it classical guitar style, legs akimbo with the (bass) neck angled up a bit?

Ooh, just seen a Fender Super Sonic in that met orange colour.. Rather nice!: http://www.fender.com/en-DE/series/pawn-shop/pawn-shop-super-sonic-rosewood-fingerboard-sunfire-orange-flake/

I've done a couple without, just used a normal sanding block and they both worked fine. Unless you are actually changing the radius, I don't think it's really needed, more important to keep the board straight along the length, I reckon.

3 dodgy volume pots?!! That's really quite unlucky, or you were doing something to damage or overheat them in the process of changing them. Well done for fixing it though!

It allows you to set slightly less relief on the treble side, if you want to.

I'm so glad it worked out well! One does feel kind of responsible when one makes recommendations. i think it should be made more widely known that there is pretty much no speaker problem that they can't fix, recones, magnet re-centring, the lot.

I think you will be just fine. Tubes are very robust electrically.

Surely the metal ball still makes contact with the bridge though?

I do know the East preamp have a very high output, could it be overloading the Nadys input?

I like that a lot! I especially like the jazzy one in white that looks like a mint imperial though.
