Will have a word in the local music shops and see if they have any local contacts. Might just bang em on ebay for spares or repair. lol

Yeh he doesnt seem to take on work at the mo. Just struggling. Dying art I suppose!

Hi all. I live in the Lincoln area and have a few valve amps that need repairing. Kelly 100watt,Simms watts 200watt,Trace elliot 400watt and a traynor 100watt. Anyone know of a reputable repairer? Thanks.

I used TE 4x10s for a long time. Pretty good and reliable just a tad heavy! Lol. Had the new trace ones too.Got myself a pair of MB 4x10s now a HF front ported,monster bass end and sweet mids and on top I have the HR 4x10 which has loads of punch and its rear ported. Definate difference to each cab. I have had Swrs,warwicks,trace elliots,Harke,Ampegs,Ashdown and a couple of handmade 4x10s but will stick to these MBs now. Best cabs I have had for overall tone clarity and bottom end. Couldnt get on with the MB amps though. I just use my Trace V4 Mk2 200watt valve head.Everything set pretty flat and its awesome.

Mmm, passive or active? You say clarity and growly? Single coils best I suppose,get some overwound/hot pickups,around 9/10k and if you want growl use 1k pots,woods dont make a tremendous amount of difference tbh,more pups and electronics. Theres a start!!

Just seeing if anyone on Basschat is playing at this event. Its an all weekend gig with around 20 bands on. Should be a good rockin weekend!!

Best get everyone to have a listen in future,check see if their happy,dont have this problem in my main band,I am the singer lol. Seriously though,I do like to hear the guitar too an bass sometimes can get some Wob wob frequencies in some rooms,may be a case of some eq or it may as stated earlier that the singer is a dick and the keyboard player needs to move from behind your amp.What did he expect,does he have a monitor amp or just monitor mix? Going off subject,played last night with 2 bands on the bill we soundchecked no problem all levels great,the first band using all our gear had feedback issues and started moaning in soundcheck,singer kept putting his hands round the mic!!. We hadnt touched a thing ?? Anyways keyboard didnt have an amp,(doh) so Di'd into our mackie rig and set a level,fed a bit back through the monitors,seemed happy then when they started the set she wound up her keyboard volume and drowned everything out! One of their band groupies was picking fault,of course we sorted it but if they left stuff alone but oh no! Tried to explain about FOH mix and she ought to get a monitor amp etc all she had to ask for was more thru the monitor mix but it went over their heads.Sorry for the rant but I know what you mean, primadonnas! Got another gig with em in 2 weeks also,lol
