[quote name='3below' post='677175' date='Dec 7 2009, 08:52 PM']Dear Santa or wife

I have a big one, I think I need more

How does this sound (apart from loud) , where would (could) I use it other than for demolition jobs?

Peavey CS3000 or QSC PLX (for the rich) power amp, big one followed by a spare 3 big ones for those larger than average venues - should drive 1500 watts rms into each pair of big ones (two each side of drummer).

cost approx £550 + 4 x £675 = £3259

What pre amp should I use?

Alex, what SPL will I get?

Best wishes from a happy big one owner (possibly the first second hand owner?), just want three more of the same. [/quote]

Do you play in a Motorhead tribute band?

Ok these two are up on eBay starting at £120 and £140 respectively

Hi Folks
for those who don't know, John Bramwell is the front man with I Am Kloot, Manchester 3-piece with about 6 albums behind them.
This is part of a solo tour John is doing, and we get to support on this occasion.
Check out I Am Kloot's stuff (www.iamkloot.com) great, soaring indie with that fantastic Manc twang.

The New Moon is an acoustic psyche-pop duo with occasional guest flute and percussion players.

It will be quite dear to get in (£10? or so) and doors should be around 8-8.30

say hello if you do make it!
Cheers
Jules

Sold to the charming chap from the Emerald Isle.

Thanks to all the others for their interest.
Cheers
Jules

Sold Fatback my DHA VT-1 valvey overdrive, superquick payment and easy to communicate with.

Got an MXR M80 di. All is fine and dandy!
The packaging would survive the next world war. Nice job!

You should know Ieuan, this one was yours!
I only sold it on as I got a Shuttle, but this does a lot the Shuttle doesn't...
Good luck Gaf

As promised earlier, pictures as requested of the refinished Jack with Humbuckers (passive and FRETLESS! )

[attachment=37471:Jack_refin_body.JPG]

And the back:

[attachment=37472:Jack_refin_back.jpg]

BTW, the cavity cover is made of elm, the original plastic one was missing when I got it
I'd do this one for £150 I guess.

[quote name='ialma' post='670025' date='Nov 30 2009, 02:31 PM']Photos please!
Looks like it's a fretless though...[/quote]
Yes, it has no frets, sorry, I didn't make that clear!

BOTH REMAINING JACK BASSES ARE DEFRETTED. One has lighter lines than the other.
They both have a nice organic woody sound.
I'll put up some more pics tonight.

Pretty colours?

"You all know what it is, it is the great big guitar version, about 2 years old but hardly used. I bought it mainly to be a monolithic pressence on my pedalboard, but then I discovered I had no room for it, and I don't like fuzz."

That made me laugh, one of the most comprehensive reasons for selling a bit of kit!

I'm looking to sell my refinished passive be-humbuckered one as well. It is done in Tru-Oil and feels nice but there were some marks and stain that didn't quite come out fully.
It has had a couple of alterations done too but has a very wide range of tones and a passive tone pot that REALLY does a LOT!
It is wired VVT with a 3 way switch added, and the jack socket relocated to the front (good for playing sat on the sofa...)
I'll send you pics if you like. Maybe I should start a new thread for this one. It is peeking out from behind the other 2 in the photo at the top.

^^^^ ... actually, that didn't quite come out how I meant it! No offence intended (kersnurk kersnurk!)

Bump for defretted back on sale, as OldSlapper could only take the one in the end.

Sold John a Jack Bass Custom, paid me well up front, communicated well throughout. A total gent.
Recommended.

The mastering must be good -that sounded LOUD!

[quote name='sixshooter' post='667467' date='Nov 27 2009, 03:26 PM']Speak to Watford Valves, also check their website which will help you. When I changed mine I went for a slightly higher wattage than the original to give a bit of headroom but it still drives just as well.

Same combo I've got (selling soon to my guitarist)
What's wrong with the speaker? If it's just a tear in the cone you can fix that easily.
Failing that, I've also had good service from Watford Valves.

This looked like it might be sold, but it's all gone quiet, so BUMP for the weekend!

If you like that tone, you'll probably also love:

This thick sort of tone doesn't really make it on to recordings much these days.

If it is the same as the one in the picture it's quite an old model and I think you'll struggle to get that price.
Good luck with the sale though.

correct, not DI
There is also a Si/Ge switch which I found no use for, an input pad pot to tame fierce active basses and a lot of clean boost available to overdrive old style valve amp front-ends if that's your thing.
PM me your email address and I'll send you some sound clips if you like.
I don't think this is a current model - I got it off t'Bay a couple of years ago and barely used it.
It also sounds quite nice with a guitar...
Cheers
Jules

Thanks Mr. Pirate but I'll decline. I own 2 Wahs (somewhere!) and expecting an M80 to arrive any day now.
Cheers
Jules
