  6. aitkenaudio
    fair enough, they're great when they work

    did you ever move the melos on? was it one of the cartridge based ones?

    poor you! as an amp tech i see quite a few blackstar amps, they tend to just have valve issues though, so not end of the world. personally dont like the sound of them though as they tend to be really fizzly

    it's still up for sale

    impedance mismatches get more and more dangerous as you get to higher voltages.

    they do about 220watts if you leave the ecc83 in as the phase splitter, if you swap it out for an 81 they hit around 300. v6 that is. I really want another v6

    With the JJ's around 160 - 200watt depending on voltage and output transformers, The reissue gold lions will hit around 220watts.

    I'd love to put it on the scope to check that as those numbers seem a bit over the top without running the valves really hot or running original gec valves. I've got a 400watter I made but It was to heavy and impractical

    they're cheap chinese stuff, don't think they were a lot more than that new

    lookin swish

    the tone control is a blend between a high pass and a lowpass as you go past twelve it cuts lows and vica versa. at 12 o clock theres normally a mid cut to compensate for the mid heaviness of the circuit. best way to use one of theses for bass is with a clean blend.

    Take your amp in for a service

    Up for sale is my squire bass VI it's in great nick and barely played. It's fully stock and plays okay but could do with a few minor tweaks. I.e the truss rod needs about half a turn tighter. the nut needs the slots taking down slightly and the bridge action could go down a little. I could do this for a charge though. edit; these are just me being picky and i like to be honest in my listings. sounds great and does all the bass VI things though. I would prefer collection as I haven't got a case to ship it in. I would accept trades for it, a long the lines of vintage pedals / amps and studio gear or other interesting things in broken or working condition. Price is £270 obo based in sheffield uk more pictures available on request if needed.

    I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative as can't justify £400 on a set of pick ups haha
  21. aitkenaudio
    Does anyone make a decent clone of it nowadays for less than 300 dollars a pickup? I seem to remember someone on here doing one a few years ago

    valve amps want sensitive cabs rather than ones that take a bunch of power to get loud. Also flat with a fender tone stack is 1/ 10 / 1 (bmt) anything else starts to scoop the mids. Also try running the master on full and using the input as the volume control for best headroom

    gutted i missed it

    avoid hotrox, I've had a lot of bad valves from them, watford valves have been 100% reliable thus far

    the trace elliots are amaze, I can take or leave most mesa boogies
