Thanks Skanky, that may well help if I can be bothered to plough through it too. I wish I'd taken some photos and copped the date codes off the pots while it was in bits.... Hindsight 20-20 etc.

'What about banging out something on THE big Organ of yours' He laughs his stupid ugly head off, and his lovely charming wife dies of embarrassment.

Hi all I just fixed up an old (mid 70s?) Marshall Bass 30 amp for a friend, 2x12 speakers arranged vertically. They are 25 W Celestion Greenbacks with 75 c/s resonance freq. Does anyone know when they changed over to putting Hz on the labels? Might help date the speakers, as I suspect they're worth a lot more parted out (to guitarists!) than the amp is all together, as it is a bit big for a practice amp and a bit quiet to be useful! Any insight gratefully received, I haven't even been able to find a picture on t'internet, hey it might even be really rare! (still doesn't make it any good though!) Cheers Jules

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1333823487' post='1607090'] laughable tosh...!!! [/quote] Come on then, it was a reasonable question, substantiate your earlier statement. There's no clue in your sig....

If there's too much treble in a tweeter loaded cab, why don't folks just turn down the treble on the amp a bit? Seriously?

Have you tried the Genz with different cab? It shouldn't sound too quiet. Also, what is the impedence of the cabinet? Has it ever been rewired?, I'm thinking one pair of speakers may be out of phase with the other.

I've been almost obsessed with this since I caught the tail end of the Monkees documentary the other week: Pleasant Valley Sunday. Goffin/King. Great songwriting, guitar riff and harmonies. Whats not to like? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RPQEap-8Vk&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RPQEap-8Vk&feature=fvst[/url]

Genz-Benz Shuttle 3 doesn't have a fan, all the other Shuttles do.

[sup]2 hours 26. Doddy wins a goldfish![/sup] [sup]Thanks bud![/sup] [sup]It's a bass that looks better played than on it's own. Quirky.[/sup]

Spotted on the vid for Pleasant Valley Sunday. I like it!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RPQEap-8Vk&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RPQEap-8Vk&feature=fvst[/url] The body has a touch of Ovation, but it's much too early for that. The head is a bit Thunderbird. Is it a Guild? "I gots to know!" clocks runnin' ! Cheers

I wouldn't get too caught up with the scale length either, I also have small hands, I hardly even notice the difference, in fact, I tend to play the normal things I would on a 4 in the 5th position, so the spacing is effectively smaller than a 4. Works for me. By the way, I got a Spector Legend 5 s/h and have to reiterate, these sound immense, for any money.

I had a Marathon 6-string fretless that had no checking in the (very thick) finish, so it does happen!

The body shape reminds me of an SD Curlee, but I don't think they were through-neck...

Thanks Phil, good point about the efficiency, esp as it's only 30wpc powering them. Theyre a bit more than I was looking to spend and might take up more room than I'd like. I'll have a look at mounting options later. Cheers Jules

That's really neat, but as I've bought a POWERED mixer, I'd only be looking to get passive speakers, pref 4ohms. Thanks for the quick reply though, it is something I would have considered if I hadn't already pulled the trigger...

Hmm, not really bass speaker related, though I may put bass through it, quietly. I just scored a Spirit PowerPad, a dinky 6ch powered mixer (30W/ch) I am looking to put vocals and acoustic guitar through it in my tiny rehearsal space. I'm looking for some really small speakers (space is a premium!) and thinking of something like the JBL Control1 pros or the little equivalent StudioSpares do. We dont practice very loud and the vocals are just loud enough using a Trace Acoustic Cube (>30W) at full chat. Any recommendations/advice gratefuly received. Cheers Jules

My US Masters fretless has them as standard. The Masters were not particularly cheap, and these were what they chose, so I guess that says something. They sound really nice. I'd say neutral, and pretty woody. I don't think you would go far wrong for the money.

here is one of Ed Roman's rants on stainless steel frets. Not a big fan apparently! [url="http://www.edroman.com/techarticles/stainlessfrets.htm"]http://www.edroman.com/techarticles/stainlessfrets.htm[/url]
