Resurrecting this thread as it fits my situation: I've been offered (for a good price I think) a 410TVX and a Tour 700. The cab has 4Ω 350RMS/700W program, does this means I will blow the cab with this head?

Just looked up the Weber Mywatt-a 200W is up for800€😲. Thank you for the offer btw.

Munich, Germany.

I have been playing only at home with a practise amp and at the practise studio with a PF-500 through an Ampeg 115. I decided to get my first rig, for maybe small gigs and to get my own tone in the practise room. Since it's my first, and I don't know how far I'm going to get with the band I'm currently in, I decided to go used in hope of to get good, cheap gear and if things go south I get to get back most of my money. I've narrowed my search down to the "Peavey 700 tour series" and the "Hartke HA3500". The Peavey is stronger, more robust while the Hartke comes with both a SS and a tube preamp but has less maximum output. Both have a bright band EQ and receive great reviews across many boards. Are there any pros and cons or any tips you could give me for each of these amps? Which would you recommend to a new starter like myself? Thanks in advance!

Cool. If you haven't done this before be sure to watch some youtube videos on how to go about it. It is very rewarding but takes loads of elbow grease.

Hi lads! New guy here, 38, from Munich- Germany. Long time lurker, decided to sign up earlier this year. Spent sometime -some of the best time- in Glasgow and Inverness back in the day. Basically a Fender p-bass player but trying to give the Stingrays a shot as of recently.

Stew Mac makes brilliant wood shims, I've used them myself and find them great. https://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_Supplies/Bodies_and_Necks_and_Wood/Electric_Guitar_Bodies_and_Necks_and_Wood/Electric_Guitar_Necks/StewMac_Neck_Shims_for_Guitar.html

My guess is you went too many coats too soon. I wouldn't trust a can application to be honest. Either go for the long game with a brush, which requires lots of patience or have a local body shop spray just the clear coat. If you do all the prep work, and supply them with the clear coat of your preference they could spray it in the booth together with some car panels to keep it cost effective.

I first tried the GHS precision flats on my p-bass. Dead right from the start, glass like smooth, but extremely high tension for my taste even though I opted for the medium set. 2 months after that I tried and stayed with the EB cobalts. Sticky at first, bright and barky, but 3-4 months into playing them they mellowed down but nothing like the GHS's.

I've had the same problem after installing a set of SPB-3's on my p-bass. After trying everything, I followed the advice of an internet guru that suggested to ground the pick up itself, through the pole pieces. It did the trick. I used coper tape making sure not to have any contact to the wires of the pick up, and then used a wire to connect it to the ground.

Thomann is leading the european instrument market the last years and for many good reasons. Their service is superb not only for the folks in Germany but in every corner of the world.
