In fact I think I want one of these !!!

Excellent, cheers fellas, that's great !!

Im trying to sort out a lightweight rig to take out with my rockabilly band to stick my double bass through. I've got a Gallien MB500 which is ace, Im after a cab to run with it. Anyone got any honest real world opinions about the Markbass NY151 1x15 cabinet ? Projection, volume, bottom end, efficiency etc, you know what I mean.

Good answer !! Guess I'll have to leave them in the useless pile and stick to the set of EMGs. Ive also got a '91 SR600 and a '91 SR800, both with knackered preamps too !! I dont have a great track record with active IBZ stuff although they are awesome basses all round !!

No, just a standard 9 volt square battery. Why would they fit 9 volt batteries as stock then if it was wrong ?

I have an Ibanez Sabre SB900, had it about 10 years. The original preamp crapped out and has never worked so I stuck a set of EMGs in it. (its one of 4 of the 5 Ibanez basses Ive had, that the electronics have crapped out, you'd think I'd learn) I'd like to get a replacement / upgrade preamp for the original IBZ LO-Z P and J pickups. As far as Im aware those are active pickups (not passive with an active pre) so I'll need a preamp with pot values that will work with the original pickups ? I just want the damn thing to work !! Budget of up to £100. Whats the best course to take or any suggestions where to start ?

I've got an old 1991 Ibanez SR600 and the circuit crapped out (as they do) so I stuck a single EMG P. in it with the included VOL / TONE controls. I'd like to add the jazz bridge pick up to it so I'll need a pickup and an extra volume pot for a VOL / VOL / TONE circuit for the PJ set. Its an old EMG that was soldered in, not clip joints. What can be done to add the extra J pickup now ? Do I try to find a solder type pot and older pickup or will a modern clippy joint one work combined ? I appreciate I may have to cut the clip off a connector wire and solder here and there.

I remember seeing a white 4 string SB301 fretless at a guitar shop in Chester around 25 years ago. I loved the look of it and stood staring for ages.....

Todd from Propagandhi is prodigiously talented but if you want busy widdly fiddly as some seem to find this important, then Karl Alvarez from Descendents / All. Fat Mike from NoFX dosent hang about either !!

Ha ha brilliant, am I correct in thinking there was a blonde 'scientist' in a lab coat too or was that a different ad ?

I seem to remember an Ibanez magazine advert on the back cover of either Guitarist or Guitar World for an Ibanez Soundgear SR950 in transparent teal. It was made to look like it was on a lab table with dorky scientists around it. I have searched online but alas to no avail. Of course fiding a copy with this ad in is pretty much impossible but if anyone could scan it or indeed confirm such an advert DID exist, at least I'll know it wasnt a figment of my imagination. Of course, it set me off on a lifetime lead of GAS for this particular specimen !!

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1478961343' post='3172989'] Seem you loads of times Wayne.. I don't look at you much I seem to gaze at your front person for some reason?? [/quote] Ha ha yeah, you get used to it !!!!

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1493811140' post='3290812'] Looks great, enjoy it! [/quote] Indeed sir !!

[quote name='GremlinAndy' timestamp='1493767182' post='3290585'] Oh. Sorry. I only just noticed this thread. It was me who had difficulty getting my hyperbass... Mine is almost the exact same story as yours. Paid upfront. Ended up being about 8 months late as I recall. No mails or explanations. In the end Joe had said it was being packed for delivery. Still didn't arrive. I tried phoning, and more emails... eventually they said, it's being finalised (?) and that they didn't want it to go out until they were happy with it... All of which would have been perfectly fine, if they'd just told me a date with 8 extra months built into it. Like you, I was over four grand into them, and wasn't getting the customer service I felt I deserved. Just semi regular emails and all would have been fine. In the end it did turn up, and it's awesome. As is the 6 string fretless (non-hipshot) hyperbass I got later. And the Old Legacy I picked up later still, at a good used price... great basses. Are Zons worth the wait? Possibly, if you build a ridiculous amount of time contingency into your expectations of how long it's *REALLY* going to take! [/quote] I agree with everything you have said here. If I'd known it was going to take so long upfront, I'd have just gotten on with waiting. If I could find a good used price Legacy or another good Sonus, I'd probably go for it haha !!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1493731335' post='3290216'] Maybe your 'Attachments' quota is all used up..? Try this... Go to your 'My Profile' (your pseudo, top right...). Select 'Edit my Profile' (black button a bit below...). Select 'Manage Attachments' (in the list on the left...). They are listed in date order. Navigate to oldest, select those to be deleted (tick boxes on the right...). Select 'Delete Selected' (grey button at bottom right of list...). Repeat, page by page, until all unwanted attachments are deleted. Using the BBCode link supplied by an external photo account such as Imgur or Flickr is a good idea, of course; even more so if using higher resolution photos. Your quota limit would never be reached using this method, and the photos are better presented. Just sayin'; that's what I do, and never need to worry about quotas. Hope this helps; meanwhile... Have a nice day Douglas [/quote] Thanks Douglas, it was that !!! Here it is.
