I have serial number 003 and the grille also looks like mine (sourced from Stevie). I'm tempted to buy yours as a matching pair would make a great PA! These are great cabs that work well in most situations, and the recessed top handle works really well. Here is cab 003 🙂. GLWTS -

Ok that makes sense. Thank you -
Nice build, was this one of the first batch of 10? Nice cat as well BTW 🙂

Thanks Kim for a smooth deal. I'm looking forward to getting to grips with this and trying out some Toneprint effects! -

I'm not sure I understand what "not pressing the power button fully" means. Can you explain please what happened and what the techs said, I'm surprised that they did not look at it again if it failed only 6 months after a repair! -
I bought a TC BH800 off Kim. Great to deal with, super efficient and I can't wait to get stuck in with the Toneprint effects! Highly recommended.

jazz pickups - noiseless recommendations wanted!
basstone replied to carlsim's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've had good improvements by screening using copper tape. As well as the control cavity and pickup cavities, it might be worth screening the PU covers, fiddly but does help. Also ensuring that the Pickup pole pieces are grounded helps. A strip of copper tape across the back of the pickup should do it but I've found that to get the best connection I used some conductive paint to join the pole pieces to the tape. All a bit fiddly but gets worthwhile results. Having said that, using both pickups usually is hum cancelling, combined with a mute switch between musical numbers works well, but remembering to unmute before the music starts!! -
It is held in place with velcro tabs and is fairly tight. Probably the best bet is to remove the preamp from the front (not fully as it will be held by cables to the power amp) which should give you enough room to pull the front fan panel off. Alternatively rather than remove the valves it may be possible to get a stick from the rear to push the panel off?

Not yet. I’ve been using it as a test cab in my workshop but still available to buy! -
Happy to be a supporter - what a great forum!

You're welcome Matt.

Ok it will probably still be around. What date did you have in mind?
-
I'm very surprised that this lovely bass has not sold yet, particularly at such a good price! I'm still interested if you change your mind about posting 🙂 -
Sorry I won't be able to make it this year as I'm away that week. Gutted!

On the amp front, I've used a Gallien Krueger MB500 for several years, now. Very light (3Kg) and compact giving 300W into 8 ohms. I use it with a GK 210 neo cab most of the time. The cab is probably still too heavy for you but the MB500 would work well with a BF cab I think!
