RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

I'm a mac user, so probably not the right person to help However, I was gonna ask if you've gone onto your browser (ie internet explorer or whatever you use) and go into preferences, and then go into 'block pop ups" I use Safari, and you can do it there. May be worth a try

[quote name='Bassassin' post='363386' date='Dec 25 2008, 07:41 PM']Send 'em back & buy a pair of Carillon AM-05s, similar spec & currently being practically given away for £50 a pair in the [url="http://www.reverb-store.co.uk/product-detail.asp?prod=194"]Reverb sale[/url]. I got a pair of these at Music Live (£60 then) to use with my desktop PC and have been blown away by them. I have a pair of Spirit Absolute 2s for my studio setup & the Carillons are easily as good, if not better. Jon.[/quote] Thanks for that. Isn't it always the way? You know, once you purchase something (or pay for something) somebody knows a better deal elsewhere? I have just complained(see below),if I receive items next week I will put it down to experience.Iknow ,I know But this was the best deal I saw at the time and if they arrive in the proper condition I won't care too much as Im not losing hundereds/thousands Cheers

Thanks for your help, thought I'd give you an update. Tina Brewster(assistant returns manager) dealt with the problem quickly. UPS picked up faulty pair on 27 dec, however the replacement pair have not been sent and there has been no commun ication.(I know it's christmas season,but they should have been despatched the same day surely) So, I give DV a call, got put through to correct dept. by reception,(no problem there) after listening to music I get cut off!! I tried again, the same thing happened!! So, I go on their website, log in to feedback/complaints,and asked them if customer service exists there .. ..or should I go elsewhere?I am awaiting the next episode. Iknow customer service does not exist in most cases and they probably would like to tell me where to go, but I'll see what happens next and keep you informed. Cheers

[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! [attachment=17903:74_tele2_front.jpg][/quote] 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='Machines' post='367342' date='Dec 31 2008, 06:49 PM']That was a good read - thanks for the link .[/quote] My pleasure..just found it somehow. Can't remember how

[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!

[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.... " [/quote] 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
