1994 Warwick Fortress one 5 string NOW SOLD!!!
Skezza replied to andyonbass's topic in Basses For Sale
I assume this is the active one. I am looking for a corvette without any luck and could be tempted. Could you run me through the controls skez -
I have a 2 x 10 with an adjustable horn tweeter which I always have turned right off. The other night when we were setting up to play our guitarist said he could here a sort of crackling very faintly. He is a pain for tracing the slightest buzz any way it was the tweeter in my 2 x 10 even though it was turned off making a slight crackling like old radio static. will I need to diconnect the tweeter to stop it altogether and was it as i suspect a product of neon lights low volage downlighters and 50 year old electrics in the pub skez

I know nothing too technical about amps or cabs and being originally a guitarist I have a couple of combos 30 watt 60 watt and a half stack all were valve in fact I still own them all Fenders and Marshalls. I would use a different one depending on the size of the venue, and if I was micing up. Now I play bass as well and have gone through more bass stuff in the last 3 years than I have guitar gear in the last 30 years. My only criterion is when I am doing a small venue with a compact PA can I play without PA support. Here are the results: ashdown mag 115 300 ----no sold Peavey TNT 130 ----yes sold too heavy Roland DB 500----no sold Roland DB700----no sold Ashdown superfly ----not a chance sold TE AH 250 ----- yes (use it all the time) Peavey T max ----yes (use it all the time) EA IAmps 500 ----yes just about Phil Jones briefcase with 4b cab---just about sold TE AH150 (3 of them)----yes sold them when I got the AH 250 just my observations skez

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1326205186' post='1493747'] Rare earths aren't rare at all, and most of the world's supply is outside of China. It's only rare earth mining and manufacturing that's concentrated mainly in China, a situation that is changing by the day. The current neo shortage won't last. Tubes OTOH are going away, it's just a matter of time. Producing them without destroying the environment is just too expensive, and when the Russians and Chinese finally wake up, smell the coffee and institute safe manufacturing regulations tubes will be history. [/quote] So what will happens then niche production for the boutique valve market?? skez

Ok but how tolerant are Markbass amps to the impedance of the cabs. I do not want to buy a Markbass head to find it will not with my cabs skez

Hi I seem to be developing an unhealthy fascination with Marbass Heads. Anyway I have read somewhere that Marbass heads will not work if the speaker impedance it sees falls below 4 ohms. Now i have an old analogue peavey Tmax which is supposed to work down to two ohms and I have twice used 4 x 8ohm cabs to build a 'rig of doom' more for the visual effect at outdoor festival where there is plenty of stage So I did a quick check with a multimeter and none of my 8 ohm cabs is actually 8ohm One is 6.5 another is 7.2 etc etc so when you do the Maths you come to a total load if less than 2 but the peavey works fine. If i tried this with two of my 8 ohm cabs would the Markbass refuse to work or is there some tolerance??? I remember a couple of years ago borrowing a little ashdown head and trying to run a a 4 and an 8 ohm cab and it kept cutting out and the only way I could make it work was by leaving out one cab skez
-
Thanks for that skez
-
Ok I seem to have got the whole wrong idea. The very first markbass I saw was being used by a basschatter. He had it in a 2 x 10 combo. BUT he could take it the head out and stack it on top of a markbass 4 x10 and 1 x 15 to make a big rig he was explaining it to my son. I assumed they were all like this Ok Ill just buy an LM2 head and use my existing cabs skez
-
Ok but which combos have the removeable head Ive looked at two on here in the last month where the head was not removeable is it only the 210 skez
-
[i]Hi[/i] [i]Im instaffordshire are you interested in any trades[/i] [i]skez[/i]

This is a steal at £250. I have the EA I amps 500 bought it about 18months ago and since then I have used nothing else despite having an old Trace elliot 250 a peavey T max and a couple of very old valve heads skez

What is the difference between the Little Mark 2 head and the Little Mark 3 head. Secondly I wanted to buy a Markbass combo with a removeable head so that i can use the combo for small to medium gigs then take the head out to use with my 4 x 10 and 4 x 8 but i found out today that not all the combos offer the removeable head facility can anyone tell me which combos do skez
-
Doh Ive done it again wrong section skez
-
What is the difference between the Little Mark 2 head and the little mark 3 head. I assumed you could remove the head from any of the markbass combos to use with other cabinets but now I find you cannot remove the head from the 1 x 12 combo or the 3 x 10 so which combos can you remove the head from I want to use it in the combo for small to medium gigs and then with my 4 x 10 and 4 x 8 for the biggest gigs skez

Thanks mate too big for my bass collection skez -

I recently bought a mint EBS neoline 2 x 10 at a bargain price. The reason being the previous owner had taken out the EBS speakers to fit in another cab and fitted a pair of oldish Fanes 10 inch 'bass speakers' which are so heavy it makes the total weight of the cab close to 30kg I have intended to remove the Fanes and then replace them with a pair of new Celestion neo 10 300 watters making a standalone 4ohm 600 watt cab but when i started playing through these speakers with an old sound city valve amp they sounded pretty good I am tempted to leave them in for a while but I do not know their power handling. Neither did the previous owner. The speakers have thick cast metal frames big flat magnets with a sticker saying Fane Loudspeakers made in Batley Yorkshire Rectangular spring loaded wire clamps with impedance stuck on them on a little yellow sticker (16ohm) there are two codes on the frame 104143 that is on both speakers and then 834/89 and 843/89 on the two one cone has the number 100 in white across the cone is the word ACOUSTECH any advice would be helpful skez
