    I've just done a reality check and reduced the sale price of my Gator hard foam case... David
  2. Mottlefeeder
    I was under the impression that these were about £80 when I got mine, but I see they now go on Amazon for £60 How does £40 sound, and I'll pack it if you arrange a courier

    Now £40 packed and ready for collection/courier. I'm selling a Gator gig bag that has rarely been out of the house. I prefer soft padded bags that fit in the car boot, and this one doesn't. It's 1230 x 400 x 120mm and was supplied with a 5-string Warwick corvette. I've also used it with a 5-string 34-inch scale Yamaha. £50 collected, or meet up within half an hour's drive of M6 J20. Post/courier at cost. Cash on collection or bank tranfer preferred. David

    I was given this many years ago and it has left the house once. Gator customer services have said that they do have spare lids occasionally, but I gave up asking after a while. As it says in the title, it is 4U high (actually about 4.5U to accomodate the telescopic handle, so a standard 4U lid doesn't fit) If you want a quality telescopic handle and wheels, this has got them. It you want to throw your gear in the back of a transit, this is probably not for you. Collection from Lymm, or M6 J20 sevices if you prefer, or shipped at your expense. David

    Selling my Samson Servo 170 amplifier. It's Class AB, with large heatsinks and no fan, so there is no fan noise. 85W per channel into 4 ohms - intended for studio monitoring etc. No facility to bridge the outputs. Inputs: Jack or phono. Outputs: Jack or wire clamps £25 collected or £30 posted (it weighs 7Kg). Cash on collection or bank transfer preferred David

    A Studiospares 15 band stereo graphic EQ. Controls include EQ bypass and monitor pre-post. This model also includes a variable high-pass filter on each channel. Inputs and outputs are balanced XLR or screw-terminals Been in a rack since new, and rarely used, so I'm moving it on. £25 collected or £30 posted. Bank transfer preferred.

    Hartke HA4000 class AB 400w amplifier. It started making crackling noises, so I dosed all the input and FX sockets with switch cleaner. Switched it on and it worked - turned the volume up (quarter of a turn) and it blew the main fuse. The local amp tech says that it is not young enough or special enough to be worth spending his time on. Collection from Lymm (East of Warrington) if anyone wants to strip it for parts. David

    A 'U' was originally 1 3/4 inches, and is now the metric equivalent. David

    Nik wanted a Hercules bass stand and I had one sitting unused. A quick exchange of messages and the deal was done. Payment was promt and Nik confirmed when the item arrived. As others have said, deal with confidence. David

    I was looking for a full-range plate-amp, and thought a sub amp would do the job, but I could not find one that did not have a filter that took out everything about 200 Hz. As Beedster said, it will sound like mud if all you are getting is the fundamental and the first harmonic. David
  21. Mottlefeeder
    OK, I see where I'm going wrong - I assumed that getting a harmonic at the 12 fret by damping the string there meant that the node was at the 12th fret. From what you have said, the node is not there, but is close enough that damping the string at that point will produce the harmonic. The rest of it now makes more sense. Thanks David
  22. Mottlefeeder
    Now I'm really confused. If I set the intonation so that fretting at the 12th fret gives the same note as the harmonic at the 12th fret, and the string break angle holds it firmly at the bridge and at the nut, why aren't the two half-string lengths the same? David
  23. Mottlefeeder
    Just for information, the speakon sockets that allow jack plug connections will acept 2- or 4-pole Speakon plugs. The keyway that prevents 2- and 4- being swapped was in the bit they drilled out to fit the jack-plug. Presumably they only connect to terminals +1 & -1 and not to terminals +2 & -2. Doesn't help you but might help someone else. David
  24. Mottlefeeder
    I'm not sure that I agree with that last comment. If you want fret 12 to be the midpoint of the string, then the bridge would be at 90 degrees to the strings, just like the nut. I think that what we are trying to achieve is to make the vibrating length of the string the same on both sides of fret 12. But, the vibrating length of the string is not the distance between the nut and the bridge, but a slightly shorter distance, governed by the thickness (mass?) of the string. So, even if you position the frets to accomodate these shorter vibrating lengths, they are still going to be a compromise across the string set. Which brings me back to my starting point, can you hear the tuning error, and if so, should we be setting the intonation to minimise the error in the part of the fretboard we usually inhabit? David

    If you are not already doing so, try lubricating the tips before putting them in your ears - I find I get a better seal that way. Our harmonica player was advised to use hand cream for this, but I find saliva works well enough. Possibly the tips stay more centred in the canal or something along those lines. David
