[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1446310863' post='2898532'] No it isn't [/quote] Correct! LOL Even when I went back and looked it still looked wrong initially.

Rarer than a rare thing... especially as it is LH!

Replacing pups wouldn't in and by itself guarantee you an aggressive modern tone, the tone of a bass is the same of the parts; is your MiM ash, whereas the JV Alder, weight/density/resonance all affect tone.

Warwick Streamer (NT) 7lb 4oz... I also have an Aria Sinsonido which is lighter BUT some of the body is fresh air so it doesn't count IMHO.

Now isn't that interesting! I've done an A/B with these in the flesh and I could defo tell them apart at the time BUT I'd be hard pushed to be 100% sure based on the recordings... though I 'think' I can tell which is which!

Rubbing down and rewaxing is fine (you can warm a bit of wax up and it will penetrate better but not compulsory). Shaving it down is another matter; I'm unsure how much meat can be taken off or how deep the truss rod rout is.

Love mine, more mwah than either the CS Dolphin Pro I or the USA Musicmans I've had. [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/100_2519_zps324c4498.jpg.html][IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/100_2519_zps324c4498.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1439029696' post='2839474']My main rig is built around a Tech Soundsystems Black Cat amp. 2 x 500W Valve/digital hybrid. The tone controls are subtle but the amp really lets the individual voice of the bass shine through rather than stamp its character all over the sound. Works for me. [/quote] Glad you still have that and that it's working for you. I know what you mean about subtle and also very interactive between the various EQs.

Never heard of him/them!

Oooof cracking price (out of stock mind) and if you were thinking of selling a 'used' RS112 any time soon... don't!

[quote name='jrobjumpsship' timestamp='1441563933' post='2859871'] You may have mis-read the post there my friend. No one said it was a £50-£100 repair, I was suggesting thats how much I'd hope to pay. From talking to a few amp repair companies thats a good couple of hours on the bench. I gave EBS a very detailed description of the fault and judging by the signal path within the amp it could only be a few components that are causing the Valve channel to be faulty. I am certainly a lot more confident with EBS' diagnosis than anyone else's. One amp repair company I spoke to said if I gave them the amp to repair they'd even do the same thing and email EBS for a diagnosis. The seller has no clue what the issue is, he's been happy to use it as a Solid State and just wants something all valve for his studio. Regards the purchase, it would be a trade. With the Fafner standing me about half of what you suggest the going rate for them is used. [/quote] Ah, gotcha. If you are paying half the going rate for it then not so bad.

[quote name='jrobjumpsship' timestamp='1441558982' post='2859816'] Thanks for the reply Graham. I dropped EBS Technical a direct email after reading on a few forums that they are incredibly helpful, and they were! (It might be worth dropping them a line yourself. They've been known to supply parts and advice on amps that aren't even in warranty!) They basically said the Fafner 2 has a very low failure rate and is no doubt in need of a small repair to a broken connection on the pc board. I could probably afford to spend £50-£100 repairing it and it would still stand me a lot less than I could get for it on the second hand market. So I think Iam just going to bite the bullet and take the risk! [/quote] Who has said it is a £50-£100 repair? If it is EBS I'd be amazed if they have the capability to diagnose an issue from your description, most repairers won't even give you a 'guesstimate' for a repair quote until the amp is on the bench. If the seller thinks it is a simple fix then I'd suggest (were it me it'd be 'insist') that they get it fixed then I'd give them the market value of a fully working used amp. Taking an amp that needs unknown repair is only something that I'd do if it was very cheap. Used these appear on BC for £600 - £700 so I'd be wanting to get the amp for significantly less than that.
