    I was looking on Watford Valves' website the other day and they had 200w celestion Neo speakers for a good price, ~I think! [url="http://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=1999"]just here![/url] Seems like a deal! All the best Jules

    I had the Marathon 6 string fretless which I sold about 5 years ago and there was absolutely no cracking in the finish, so that statement is bolleaux. A lot may have cracking or checking, but not all!

    [quote name='DHA' post='520495' date='Jun 22 2009, 09:05 AM']I have added a bright switch to the design. If yours is pre-bright switch mod then that will do it. Just add a 470pF ceramic cap across the level pot with a switch if you want. Depends on how old the PCB is but there might be a position marked "bright" anyway. Or just wire to the LHS and middle of the level pot, RHS is gnd.[/quote] Thanks for that Dave, I'll give it a go when I can. I think this is the reason I hadn't used it much tbh! Cheers Jules

    I just tried my Maplin PSU and the switchable dial seemed to have a dead spot near 12V where the LED just didn't come on. Moved it a bit either side and bingo!

    Hi Dave I've hardly used this since I bought it, but dug it out again today to try with a new amp. (The serial number is 216). Do you roll off the treble on these? I do notice that there is a fair bit more top in the signal in bypass mode. Is there a component, or components I could change to get my treble back? I have full access to electronic rework kit incl. surface mount. Cheers Jules

    All mine now! Mr 6stringbassist is a very easy guy to deal with. It's been a pleasure. Jules

    [quote name='stingrayfan' post='517288' date='Jun 18 2009, 12:02 PM']These things are tone monsters and much much louder than 150w suggests.[/quote] That's an unbelievable price! I've seen the heads alone go for a lot more than that.

    No opinions on this then?

    Hi there dude! I'd like to take this if it is still available. It should match in with my newly arrived Barefaced Compact. PM'd Cheers Jules

    In this pic, I had worn out my facial muscles gurning to the camera while the flash took an age to charge. By the time the pic was taken I was all gurned out and just look tired and about to be sick (and not in the good modern usage) [attachment=26831:Gurn.JPG]

    Hi Folks Now these have been around for a bit, how are you getting on with them, sound and reliability-wise? Cheers Jules

    Would anyone be interested at £250? The seller is on the verge of px ing at a shop and I think they will offer even less. I haven't had the go ahead from him for this price yet, but will see him tonight.... Let me know if you're interested. Cheers Jules

    [quote name='harlowbassplayer' post='502064' date='May 31 2009, 05:46 AM']hey jules how much repair need to be done with your bass does it work i been looking for a headless bass for years and how low on the price would you go for cheer lance[/quote] RADICAL PRICE DROP £140!!!!! Lance, it doesn't really need any work done. If you would like and honest independant appraisal of how it plays, King Tut (Colin) had a good play on it when he came over to buy an amp off me. I'm sure if you PM him he will give you the score on it. At this price you can't really go wrong for a backup bass. First person to offer this on here gets it, remember it is collection, or meet up reasonably close to Oxford. Cheers Jules

    I think King Tut has an electro Tanglewood he was trying to trade. Might be worth dropping him a PM MBA

    Did you recently go to a lighter gauge or different brand of strings? You could insert a tiny sliver of business card into the bottom of the A string slot and see if that sorts the buzz out. MBA

    [quote name='jmesa' post='503258' date='Jun 1 2009, 08:19 PM']Feeler removed.... Definately for sale now. Offers via PM... 4 string trades considered but would prefer £££ [/quote] Not ££££ ? Good luck with the sale. Jules

    Just sold a Laney Supergroup 100 head to Colin. He's a nice bloke to deal with, communicated well and did just what he said he was going to do. A straight-up guy. Cheers. Jules (MoonBassAlpha)

    Ok, as the title says, this is [b]sold[/b], being picked up on sunday. Sorry to the others who missed out, but thanks for your interest and comments. Cheers Jules

    [quote name='The Funk' post='500500' date='May 29 2009, 01:21 AM']Exactly why I wanted it. For the doom side project that may overtake the main funk project. As I replied first am I first in line or was I not definitive enough? [/quote] I'm sorry dude - beaten by PMs and firm offer! First one was <5 mins after OP!
  23. MoonBassAlpha
    Nah! I'm not going to get in to this auction thing. Frowned on roun' these paaartz, they iz! I've got 2 offers at the asking, subject to approval of the pics. I may end up kicking myself if it turns out to be a bargain, but 1. I wasn't using it 2. It s tatty and had parts replaced so won't appeal to some twatty collector 3. As my old mate used to say, "Jules, life's too short, and so are you"

    I've taken some photos, and looked at the valves. 2 Marshall el34 and 2 unnamed (older?) output valves, 1 Marshall ecc83, 1 Peavey ecc83, 1 Peavey 12AT7 (done from memory, could be wrong!) I thought it may be 73/4 but it could well be older. Anyone shed any light? just noticed a lot of 69s on the transformers - date codes? Had a quick play tonight through a tiny guitar cab and all is functioning correctly. I was surprised how little background noise there was with it full up too.

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='499550' date='May 28 2009, 02:54 AM']Laney Supergoups are highly respectable 70's amps and on the cusp of collectability.[/quote] So if I said £600 I'd get more interest? Seriously though, I haven't seen any of these up for sale recently and am a bit out of touch in terms of "collectability" and "worth". Thanks for any input on these matters. I suppose I should get some photos done. Would you like that?
