[quote name='mansfield' post='744069' date='Feb 13 2010, 03:33 PM']When taking my Superfly out of the outer case, I realised you only actually need to remove the silver front facia of the outer case - then the head itself just slides out (rather than dismantling the entire case...).

Quite handy.[/quote]
Sorry for the late reply lads.
Many thanks for the advise,removed 6 front and 2 side screws and it slid out.

Hi,
Pleased with the unit and decided to rackmount.
The unit is too heavy for the supplied rack ears with the outer case still fitted.
I have heard that the unit can be stripped down to looking like a little giant.

Is this true,if so,how do I strip down.
Many thanks
Greg

[quote name='ben604' post='723097' date='Jan 24 2010, 01:53 PM']Hello,

Just having a bit of a shuffle round and fancy trying a new bass, it's the only thing I have at the moment so I'd prefer a trade.

Looking for something active with a narrow neck which can hopefully do a precision sound as well as a variety of other sounds?

My precision is pretty much as it came out of the factory, slight indent on the rear of the headstock and there's an area of slightly thin paint on the bottom of the body which isnt damage but looks like an error at the factory which I hadnt noticed when I bought it, otherwise, it plays great, sounds great and looks well...great!

What have you got? Based in the Northwest - Wirral.

Cheers,

Many thanks Gareth,
I'll use my spare nex week and spend some time going over the hartke.
Will let you know how I get on.

[quote name='HartkeUK' post='718360' date='Jan 19 2010, 08:38 PM']Hi Greg,

It is difficult to 'service' electronic equipment as they do not suffer from mechanical issues like a car etc. The only thing that could be done is to check the solder joints and maybe the sockets etc.

I would suggest that if there are no problems with the amp then I would leave it as it is.

Many thanks Gareth,

There is a slight fault now and agin, some gigs I use full range and some biamp.
Now and again the amp crossover does not activate.
I have to fiddle with the biamp/full range switch or power off and the back on.
Imight try some switch cleaner.
Greg

Hi,
I'm considering having this great amp serviced as I now have a spare amp.
Does anybody have any information on price/turnround /what the service involves.

Thanks
Greg

[quote name='bassix' post='716218' date='Jan 18 2010, 12:00 AM']I'm considering trading my Squier CV 60's P Bass due to a preference for a Jazz style neck. Its only 5 months old so its in excellent condition although there are a couple of tiny dings to the bottom of the bass. The bass sounds lovely and was purchased after it gave a few MIM's an arsewhooping in tone terms but I'm not playing it enough to justify it hanging around.

For trades I'm looking for a Jazz Bass- Fender or otherwise. If anyone has a CIJ Jazz I'd be very interested in doing a deal and same goes for a Sandberg. I'm willing to consider other offers, just hit me up with any offers. If anyone wants pics of it let me know.

Cheers,

Thaks to all of you,

I ended up going out early last night and did not get chance to see reply's.

I shall try once again tonight.

Pete, it's not a hummer!!!!!! so thats good.

Greg

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='674359' date='Dec 4 2009, 05:28 PM']Shouldn't need the master up beyond 12 O'clock then - it'll have yer trousers off otherwise!

A couple of other "features"...

The gain control is measured in dB for some reason, & just goes round & round & round.

When you switch off, unplug the mains lead but leave the speaker cables plugged in, then switch it back on for about a minute. The power supply capacitors take an age to bleed down otherwise, & if your fingers stray too near the mains input socket you can get a surprising belt!

What Bass? I have a handy P preset if you want.

Many thanks for this help pete,

I tend to use only 3 of my collection ,
Fender PB OR Jazz + Status s1, It's the status I'm using tonight.
Any custom settings would be of help
Thinking about the editing, It seems pointless to have the laptop to edit when it's only benifit is to alter the para and comp?I would eq to the gig,
Am I right
Greg

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='674316' date='Dec 4 2009, 04:50 PM']Greetings,

Yes, it needs to be powered up to use the editor. As far as I can make out you can only save single presets, not dump the lot into one file (which is a bit daft).

As to factory reset, don't worry. Presets 01-10 (or it might be 00-09, I forget) *are* the factory settings, they're protected & can't be overwritten.

Have fun installing the software! (I **think** it's one of those where you need to install the app, then reboot, then connect the amp - but it's been a while).

Hope you don't have a hummer, mine has a very low level whistle on one channel which I suspect is clock breakthrough. It's not noticeable at a gig & seems to occur only when I use the speakon connector. If I plug a 1/4" jack in the amp it's fine.

What cabs, how big's the venue?

Pete.[/quote]
Hi Pete,
Thanks for the info, I will be using SWR 15" + SWR 2X10, hartke 5500 biamp head is the norm,but will have a quick dabble with tha ashdown.
Only a pub gig tonight
Greg

Welcome friend,
You will enjoy this site and it's members!!!

Hi,
Just bought one of these this week and will test it tonight at a gig.

All my cabs are flightcased in our van so,fingers crossed I dont end up with a hummer.

Does the amp have to be powered up in order to us the edit software and make a backup
and is there a factory reset procedure?
Thanks
Greg

Hi Chris,
Your Jack is on it's way, please take care of this baby!!!!!
Have sent you an email

Enjoy

Greg

Bump!!

Here is my 80’s Hohner Professional 'the jack' headless bass which I have owned for 15 yrs +

Having seen a new bass its time to let go of this one!

Specs =

Zero Fret
24 frets
EMG Select soapbar (Humbucker Type) Pickups.
Active/Passive toggle switch with LED light!
Volume/Volume & Active stack pots for Bass Boost/Cut & Treble Boost/Cut.
Natural stained finish

It has been well looked after and given plenty of TLC over the yrs. Flight cased throughout, it plays perfectly and has no problems with sound, pickups, electronics etc.

It has a great live sound with its active pickup and is finished in a lovely deep rosewood colour with outstanding wood grain to both the front & rear. .

Overall it is in mint condition, plays perfectly and looks as new.

The neck is straight and the action is low!
Playable throughout the whole fretboard.

Comes with a new battery!

The only minor fault is that the rear battery hinged cover plate was repaired by myself back in the 90’s but is fully functional.
I have also fitted a new Jack Barrel Socket as the originals tend to wear slack.

Postage will be Parcelforce 48!! Come on lads!!

Or Cash on collection from Wrexham or Ellesmere Port Area’s.

Please note that the Bass is in ABSOLUTE MINT condition.


##### £250 POSTED #### also discount for collection

Thanks

GREG! 07737 930 343.

A good example typical
of all Basschat members I have delt with to date.

2. 100 watt 5 or 6 channel pa . It is housed in a metal case,the lid flips open and can be removed, it has a built in tape echo made by binson. I think the unit is a selmar.
