  1. ??? I only see 12'' and 10'' based cabs in the lineup.
  2. Seems to be an almost completely R free zone by dint of the long hiatus in R trading. Maybe that will be a lesson to them to play nice. Good luck!
  3. Let's ask an expert. Renwick. 'Rennick' or 'Wren Wick'? The Duke of Marlborough resides at Blenheim Castle. Renwick is in 'Marlbrah', up the road from 'Blennim'.
  4. Bear power tend to pop their clogs when the grounding provided by the star washer to the chassis fails. I guess this could happen in new amps if there was too much paint on the chassis and too little spanner applied to the nut or there may have been other infant mortality modes. Later on vintage amps suffered star washer corrosion, enough to do the trick of ungrounding and suffered 'death' also. Should definitely find out if the Clive mod is something else altogether.
  5. The corollary is a bad amp will sound extra bad to you. I think you will be thinking of the short production run 300 tube model.
  6. Maybe ask one of your friendly advertisers? They will all have them. I am sure they didn't write it from scratch.
  7. By widget I mean code already written for form submission. You would enter a sales portal to post a classified rather than in the forum.
  8. I clicked on the Sire, fully lined in the image.
  9. There must be some kind of widget that generates the asterisked fields in forms that won't submit until they are all completed. They are everywhere.
  10. The thing to do would be take the amp out and make a new box for it. That will make the decombo'd ''cab only'' around 13kg lighter for picking up. Get a trolley for moving it A to B.
  11. The real problem is Google used to be able to search terms and only those terms and it would comply. Now it returns advertiser results that kinda sorta fit. Shame.
  12. How hard would it be to implement a set of compulsory fields to each bass for sale? Price, string count, scale length, active/passive would cover the biggest divisions.
  13. Do not underestimate the quality of dispersion. I was playing in a band where the lead guitar and I would often riff off one another. The 'stage' at one pub was just a bit wider and flatter and one time I took the 215 instead of 115 210 tall stack. He's struggling to hear what I am doing because he's on the far side and too wide of the 15's to get the tone, so he's working off bumpity bump bump bump only.
  14. As much as I dislike faceabook it might be the best place for current information. NZ has a national site ''Eventfinder''. I think it mines the internet as well as putting up small local current venue and the promoter gig announcements with ticket sales. Maybe UK has something similar. Everything from the local cat fanciers competition to art, comedy, open mics to pub gigs to big tour shows in stadiums.
  15. Send it back. No fan should be that noisy.
  16. In the case of selling their precious they are appealing to someone with similar preferences. If they are skiiting about it on a forum it's because they are proud of their efforts. Either way they are right. So your complaint comes down to semantics.
  17. Easy solution is avoid reading classifieds for non stock items and don't read forums dedicated to improvements of stock consumer items. 'Poof' no more unnecessary grief over what someone else is doing with their stuff or what they call improving that you don't. Simples.
  18. It's only a modification if it can't be readily put back to stock. Stating as such it is fair warning to the buyer to consider the value to them and potential resale. An upgrade may or may not involve modification. Again the buyer is free to consider the value. It's a major cottage industry swapping pickups. You'll have to come up with a new word that isn't modification or upgrading. 'Swapping' implies like for like with no increase of value, so that's out. Guess what, sellers figured out long ago the best word for it is in fact upgrade.
  19. Something tells me you never held a job in sales.
  20. The shipping could be quoted either way. Ordinarily the shipping cost would be quoted pre tax to make it simple to write X + Y + Z + shipping +VAT And thus account for the sale the same way, rather than messing around zero rating the VAT on the shipping charge.
  21. Isn't that their permanent condition though?
  22. When it is bumped by the poster with no post it becomes UNREAD,unless things were modified in one of the upgrades of late and I missed it.
  23. Talkbass forum is superior in this regard. Basses get listed by the number of strings AND left/right handedness. But no scale length. I guess sellers are mostly happy to put it in the title and buyers with eyes spot them and buy them. I find the weird BC bumping display system far more egregious. Put it back to the top every two days, but don't mark it as UNREAD!!!!
