Thanks Fuzzy (Daz) for taking the time to drive out 80 miles in total and charged me only a tenner for fuel to meet me halfway with the cab,great condition,sounds great too,and we had a damn good chat.Top bloke and would recommend him as a seller(Or buyer,whatever) to anyone,thanks again,Mike, Mikhay77.

Now I see the connection,Department S.I frickin new it was all linked! The S is for slap.

Oh yeh,my dad did describe him and that looks a good photofit.Was e the one with that Hopkirk geezer?

Who's Mark King?

Dont know if anyone can help.I have a 1999 ah500 12 unfortunately no footswitch(original being a 5 way)Got a new bfc 4 way controller and needless to say it wont work.Emailed trace and they did reply but no help.All they sent back was a wiring schematic for a 90s 2 way guitar amp switch!!!!!!! If anyone has one if they could email me some internal pics or if anyone knows were I could get hold of any schematics.I seem to have looked everywhere.Hopefully some one has an original switch somewhere.Many thanks for any info

Just finished an active jazz project,it now has a bartolini bass,treble,switchable midsweep vol and pick up blend.2x9v batteries and 2 other 9v battery sized boxes for the pre amp.All nicely buried under the lower part of the scratch plate,low hz emgs so no need to line the compartment.Dead silent but wow what a sound through an amp.Anything will fit if you got a router,ha ha.

Well,totally unconnected,I got a sb700 and banged 2 emgs in it and a active circuit.Best thing I ever did(bass wise).Arias are made very well.I had a warwick thumb for 15 years or so and this is a combo definately worth a punt.Hope we dont all bid on it.Ha ha.

Best way I find on most truss rod adjustments>On the E string hold down the string on the 1st and say 14th fret and then check the gap around the 7th fret between string and fret board,if a large gap you would need to tighten the truss rod to straighten the neck to get an approx 0.5mm gap,if no gap then do the other way.Then adjust your saddles down to get a super low action etc.Finally intonation,use a tuner to check the strings for tune at open and at 12th fret,if at the 12th it is sharp then move the saddle forward,retune and recheck,opposite for flat I think they are the right directions but I was gigging till 2 this morning,if u wanna b really good with intonation check it at the 17th fret too,on each ie on the tuned open E string then on the 17th check using A if that makes sense,dont forget to retune the open note after each adjustment,hope this makes some sense.
