    I run mine into either one/two TC Electronic RS112's. With two at 4 ohm's we are loud but I'm not going over 12 O'clock so I've got wiggle room left

    I have an ELF and it still baffles me as to how loud it is

    Hi all I'm just in the process of changing my bass head and I'm looking for guidance I've just bought and returned an Ampeg Micro VR which looked fab and sounded good until you needed volume and then it failed. I had it running through 2 x TC RS112's at 4ohm but sadly it just didn't cut it. Anyway I'm now thinking to buy one of two listed above. I love the Ampeg sound but have an Ampeg Classic Analogue Pre Amp pedal so do I go for the PF350 or the BQ500 with the pre amp pedal connected as I believe that the pre amp in that is very similar the the Micro VR which did sound good........ I'm kinda thinking that the BQ may be a little cleaner so that I'm able to get what I want with pedals with less TC character or colour The money is similar so it's a toss up between the 2 Answers on a post card lol

    Hi everyone... I have two TC Electronic RS112 cabs which I love and I use an RH750 with these. I have however recently run my Trace Eliiot Elf through them and was blown away with the volume that I had and probably only on No 3-5 on the master. I love the Ampeg sound and was considering getting a Micro VR and was looking for thoughts on how this would sit with my cabs. I'm thinking it will be quite loud with the two running at 4ohm which would save me buying an SVT3Pro and running that on a third volume setting I've had a PF350 and never really loved its looks and VR looks pretty cool to be fair One last question.... Would I connect them both separately to the two outputs on the VR or run one out and into the first 112 and then again out of the 1st and then into the 2nd????

    Hi Everyone I'm getting old and have been using an A4 binder with all of our song notes on a music stand (Not cool I know) to use whilst playing I'm thinking of getting a tablet that I can add all of my stuff to (In set list order) which I can then attach to my mic stand. I'm also in need of a foot controller so that I can flick back and forth whilst playing....... Any thoughts, advice or recommendations? Thanks in advance Mike

    Whatever it is it sounds great and I'm not lumping my heavy head about which was a major plus

    It's fabulous to play

    Thanks for the heads up.... I've moved it

    A beautiful right handed 500/7 that plays like a dream with its super slim neck….It's fitted with La Bella flats and I've fitted a set of retro knobs to enhance its look. These are stunning bass guitars and are fitted with the 60's designed Hofner pick ups. If you want retro, great looks and a fab sound then bass will be right up your street. I've fitted an upper horn strap lock so that the guitar sits well on your belly. When I did this the serial number sticker came off due to the glue (I have detailed photo's of what I did and a copy of the serial number) Cherry Bomb is a water decal and she will come off. You are looking at circa £785 new with the extras but sadly they don't appear to be available off the shelf. The case has all of it's original candy and has an internal Temp gauge fitted. Please get in touch with any questions and sadly it's collection only from North Bolton and I will NOT ship it. (I would possibly meet up if I'm paid in advance) Thanks Mike 07545 145900 Tiger flamed maple body With sustain block Maple top Maple/Birch/Maple neck Jatoba fretboard Scale: 762 mm (30") Nut width: 42 mm 2 Höfner Staple Top humbucker pickups 2 Volume controls, 2 Tone controls Sixties-style tailpiece Ebony bridge Colour: Antique Brown Sunburst Reviews here: https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/bass/hofner-contemporary-series-verythin-bass-530467 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_-BRD94wEY

    3 years ago I was interested in what the Elf claimed to be and I deliberated about buying one for over 12 months. In the end I thought "what the hell, buy one and if it's not right then send it back!" I bought it and it never went back. I use it to practice with a loud 80's band and it just blows me away every time I use it. It sounds ace, it's loud and fits into the pocket of my bass case and I carry it as a back up for for TC Electronic RH750...... To date I've never needed to use it for an amp failure but I'm quite confident that it would deliver if plugged into my 2 RS112 cabs. It also appears in many Top 10 Amp Reviews up against some amazing well established competition Has anyone gigged with one ? and on a slightly different note has anyone got any experience with the Warwick Gnome i-Pro??????

    Ignore this thread Mike

    HI.... Is this still available? I kinda suspect not but I've gotta ask Cheers Mike

    Hi Nick Is this head still available? Cheers Mike

    Hi. Yes they seem to be working the same but the issue is with the volume and tone control on the 2002 gold model. Volume = 8-10 loud, 3-7 no apparent changed and 1-2 off. Tone 1-3 tone difference then above 4 there is no difference. The 50-500ohm switch seems fine. I need to measure the resistance and will take both guitars apart again to double check everything. When I do this I will recheck the pot types 250/500 a&b ect. Once I've done this I will start again.

    Hi. Thanks for that.... I've just found a 680. The schematic said 690 so you've saved me a lot of trouble
  20. Mike Bungo
    I agree and have ordered linear for the second one so I'll update the thread
  21. Mike Bungo
    Hi. I'm thinking that the dealer whilst sending me 2.5k pots sent me the wrong type. I've found 2.5k Linear which I have ordered. I've also ordered new capacitors (.22uf & .15uf) but I am struggling to find a 690ohm Resistor. I kinda figured that it would make sense to replace them all whilst I'm doing the job and to eliminate any related issues. I'll update the post when I've done it

    Hi Again guys I am lucky to have 2 Casady's but please read on as to why I'm lucky White - 2014 owned for a while and this thing sounds amazing. I also have full control over the volume and tone so no issues here Gold - 1998 (Just bought) And the volume & tone are pretty much on or off with no in between. I can solder real well but I don't understand electronics. I spoke with Guitars North West and purchased replacement Alpha 2.5k pots and the packet is labelled (Volume & Tone). I've taken my time and fitted these by taking out both looms from each guitar so I could closely check the wiring but the problem is exactly the same. I am in the process of replacing both the capacitors and the one resistor to eliminate any issues with these BUT Whilst reading up on this side I came across an article about types of pots used on bass guitars and my scenario is mentioned. Not in a bad way but in a way that gives you an immediate drop in volume and treble tone if needed so the question is was this older guitar possibly designed to be like this and was this a spec requested by Jack Casady when working with Epiphone????? Your views would be very welcome before I just build it up and make adjustments on my amp....... Many thanks Mike

    Hi everyone I've bought a used JC Bass and I'm looking to order new volume and tone pots whilst its on it's way to me as I'm told that the volume pot is either on or off with no in between. Would anyone know the pot shaft sizes i.e. width and height ect I believe that they are also 2.5k and I understand that these may be hard to get hold of so any help with advice on an alternative would be great And finally....... Am I ordering Audio or tapered and if so for which pots Many thanks in advance Mike
  25. Mike Bungo
    I believe that this new B-140e is based on that bass 👍
