[quote name='beerdragon' post='367479' date='Dec 31 2008, 10:56 PM']I would love one but are'nt they supposed to sound a little muddy?[/quote]
oh yes!

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='367482' date='Dec 31 2008, 11:18 PM']That's the second version.

I had one - a '73. Played like a dream.. sounded awful. It had a tone only earthworms could love. Or even hear.

The output was insane, too. There's a mod you can do which involves unscrewing a couple of polepieces from the back which calms it down and tightens the tone up a bit. It made a difference, but it was still unusuable.

I sold it to the fella out of It Bites in the end.

Had then been now, i would have stuck a Dark Star in it... ah, well.[/quote]

Yeah, it's true what you say&other band members aren't too keen on it.
What's a Dark star? Is it a pickup? would it make much difference to the sound?

[quote name='99ster' post='367369' date='Dec 31 2008, 07:19 PM']Here's my '74 Telebass II. Love it to bits. The bottom end from one of these babies could knock down a brick wall. A proper bass!

AWESOME! My one still has flatwounds on it. The best neck I've played(carlsberg moment)
If you're in a band what do the rest think?
Most comments have been "too wooly"

[quote name='steve-soar' post='367357' date='Dec 31 2008, 07:01 PM']I want a 400 PS amp.
JJ Burnel had one and Billy Cox but I bet they are about as reliable as Birkenhead chav dad.[/quote]
That one on the left looks like part of a barbeque
I would imgine these are sooo rare now

[quote name='Jase' post='367182' date='Dec 31 2008, 03:59 PM']Wapping...those were the days, I was there too Ampeg with "Billy's Back" promotion, wasn't there a guy from Uriah Heap there too? Still got the photo's somewhere and my signed Ampeg pic [/quote]
Yeah..think it was Ken Hensley That was a great night

Well, I met Billy years ago at one of his bass clinics in Wapping(yep ,that long ago)
I found him the perfect gent,who is very modest despite being one of the best ever Bass players.
(most people would probably agree with me on that score)

Years ago I met Lemmy in the city mid afternoon. We chatted for about half an hour.
How many so called rock star wannabe's would ever do that?Some would, but not many.
Met Lemmy a few times after that,and he remembered me.

B T W : Saw Mr. Big gig at Hammy O and the sound was dire, and the atmosphere was like
kate moss's chest ..flat! Billy's solo was muffled and inaudible.
Happens to the best of 'em I guess.

Thing is , I think that you should take everyone as you see them and not worry about their beliefs.
Live and let live etc.

Is it true that Billy fell out with Paul Gilbert ,if so why?

Brilliant!

Wrong spelling tut tut

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='365739' date='Dec 29 2008, 08:32 PM']'allo.

Was on here many moons ago, before it had a face lift. Still playing a bit of bass, but playing a lot more guitar now (sorry.... )

Still got a few basses though." Up until recently this was my arsenal.... "

Were you an aresenal fan once?

just got back from christmas break. I'm phoning their romford branch as instructed,
all I'm getting is loud classical music.
I wonder if anyone's there today??!!

After leaving feedback,I got 2 responses.mehanijacquinis out of office till mid jan,
so i forwarded it onto patrice maynadier .Barry smith has left co.
so forwarded onto eastlondon.co.uk etc.

I asked for exchange and asked for them to send courier with replacement
and I to give driver faulty pair.
I also told them I p osted problem here. I mentioned that if problem was solved amicably ,
I would leave good feedback to all.

Hope they do it this way

I tried both speakers seperately as I haven't correct lead, do you think that would make a difference?

Forgot to add, I tried each speaker seperately as I haven't correct leads
at present. Don't know if this makes any difference?

just sent them feedback(enclosed was a leaflet advising me to do so)
Will give 'em a call after boxing day.

(will buy correct leads , just to make sure)I tried each one individually , so may not have full picture.

If sound is ok ,I'll leave it.Don't need hassle.

They look great on shelf.
