As wrong as a wrong thing! Prior to looking at the listing I read what Dave said about the pup being misplaced and I expected that his expert eye had picked up that it might have been a few mill out of place... jeepers it's that far back you may as well call it a piezo. Oh and what's going on with that neck plate?

Dead easy to make your own... must be easy as I cobbled one together 20 years ago with the minimum of DT skills.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='705360' date='Jan 8 2010, 12:07 PM']IIRC (and Dave might correct me if he finds his way onto this thread), it was his first bass, so it'll be the one that he bashed out Buzzcocks and Undertones covers on [u][b]through his youth[/b][/u]. Which probably halves the value again. [/quote] Dave... "in his youth"... nah never happened, he was born owld! Soz Dave it had to be done!

[quote name='desh' post='705181' date='Jan 8 2010, 09:50 AM']Thanks for all that. Could they have done a 3/4?[/quote] Nope! The JV's only ever came as a full 34" scale. However if anyone has a short/medium scale bass and feels the need for some flats... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72792"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72792[/url] Shameless I know but it just might be what someone is looking for.

4x10 dilemma... buy a pair of TC 2x10's and stack them end on end! No seriously, I would.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='704994' date='Jan 7 2010, 11:36 PM']This is what I have now, then all the other combinations below, got me to this point, it was fun. For me, the ultimate rig changing pres and cabs, Glock 2x12 not pictured.[/quote] Seeing as how I have some personal reference point with the Tech cab Steve How do the Bergantino, Glock and Accugoove cabs stack up (other than vertically) against it... that's if it is possible to make a comparison based upon relative volumes/outputs.

Methinks TC Electronic staff have a bit too much time on their hands! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frm_sn3G0As&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frm_sn3G0As...player_embedded[/url]

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='704174' date='Jan 7 2010, 02:02 PM']Assuming it's happy to run at 8 ohms as well, couldn't you wire up two series pairs of 8-ohm cabs in parallel (in other words, wire two cabs in series and another two cabs in series, and run those two pairs in parallel with each other)? That'd give you 8 ohms over four cabs. I have no idea how this could be achieved with real-world cabs, but that's how you can make (for example) a 16-ohm 4x12 guitar cab with four 16-ohm speakers.[/quote] I hear what you are saying and with the right custom leads/wiring that could be achieved so that the TF550 could run x4 DB112's @ approx 380watts. However in the real world I'll likely never need more than two DB112's (which as a 4 ohm load I've never run at more than 12 o'clock on the master volume)... OK on the odd occasion maybe x3 DB112's just to show off

[quote name='molan' post='703720' date='Jan 7 2010, 12:24 AM']The Gallery are listing the Daphne blue one as Vintage but it looks very similar to my Update! N.B. Is this the same ex Me'Shell bass mentioned in the Celinder factory tour? I've seen some Celinders with an additional flick switch - what does this do? Again, I spotted this on the Me'Shell bass.[/quote] It might be worth contacting Dave 'eubassix' re. the Meshell bass (or Celinders in general) as he owned it and iirc he was having it restored to original. Other than that... nice to see you buying proper basses again (i.e. with the correct number of strings ).

[quote name='chris_b' post='703194' date='Jan 6 2010, 06:01 PM']The 750 is supposed to sound bigger and better, with a fuller, punchier and more authoritative tone.[/quote] If that's true then it's downright scary how good that would sound!

[quote name='Conan' post='703146' date='Jan 6 2010, 05:33 PM']BTW, how would that work in terms of impedance? [/quote] Unfortunately that's where the idea of me already owning my ultimate rig 'fails'! The TF 550 can only run @ 4 ohms (hence I run a pair of DB112's) so I'd need to replace the 550 with the TF750 (which does 2 ohms) BUT I've no idea if the 750 would sound just like a louder 550! I've heard that if you aren't pushing the 550 to silly levels then you can run 3 x 8 ohm cabs off the 550 (though Dave Funk doesn't personally validate that option), you just have to watch out for it getting hot... but then I'm not prepared to transport any more than 2 cabs; especially when I carry 50% of the bands PA in my car. Ultimate rigs require ultimate transport!

Nowt to do with me but if you are a dab hand with a soldering iron or don't want the valve preamp tone this appears to be a fair bit of kit for not a lot of money!

Money [i][b]and transport[/b][/i] no object... I'd have a Thunderfunk and a stack of four vertically aligned DB112's.
