  1. Just recently got one of these secondhand for a very reasonable amount.......but, when i played it the 'A' string keeps losing signal, if you touch/press the bridge saddle it comes back. Any ideas on the problem???
  2. this is back up for sale again! I had to pull te last deal as the original deal i had fell though and i needed it fir gigs. Still after £350 for it, its the MB 2x10P traveller cab rated at 4ohms, excellent condition been gigged but not hard.

  4. is the schroeder still available??
  5. I'd even consider a light weight combo then sell the MB2x10!!! I do like the look of the schroeder cabs, and i reckon the 1x12" would do for me but would need the 4ohm version!!
  6. As the RCL drivers are primarily PA drivers do they work best in a sealed cab??? if so is it OK to block up the rear port holes on my cab???
  7. I like the look of the 2x15 but just wanted to get some feedback on these to help make my mind up!
  8. Anyone know the internal volume of the ashdown MAG115 cab? looking to put a nto work with!!!ew driver in one and nned to know what ive got

  10. Just curious, looking at the specs on these things they look to be great, ive just looked at their 2x15 cab, which i really like the look of, but ive never heard a one. Anyone used their cabs? recommend them?? what's their sound like? reliability??
  11. OK so i ran the cab in anger last night for the first time since getting it! ran an ashdown MAG600 head through it. the cab is rated at 8ohm so volume wise was pretty much 3 qtr on the amp head. had good bottom end but did fart out a bit, and the high range lacked clarity. So defo decided to change the driver. I'll prob keep it a t 8ohm, so if i get 600w at 4ohm out of the head, i gues it'll be around 450w at 8ohm. So which driver would be best to put into the MAG115 cab?? to ensure i get good bass response (no farting) and decent high sound??? I'm thinking eminence kappa????? Advice/suggestions gladly welcomed!!!!!!!
  12. Right bit more info..... I bought it from the bass centre in california, about 2 years ago. It came as a 'B'grade bass but when it arrived i couldnt see anytyhing wrong with it at all. After a little research i found that the reason it was 'B' grade was because it didnt have the push/pull volume pot which means it is hard wired as active rather than the active/passive it should be! dont know if this affects the value at all??? Ive never minded as i only play active basses anyway so its never been an issue to me. Its immaculate, no major knocks scrapes etc just the very odd minor surface scratch yo'd expect from playing but to be honest ive seen brand new bassess in shops looking identical!! its the tobacco finish one which looks great and much nicer than the cherry burst version IMHO. If i'm gonna let her go i'd say £450 plus a hard case (nice brown snake skin jobbie sahped so a perfect fit!!!) if anyone is interested get back to me?? pic of it here: [url="http://www.starshots.co.uk/"]http://www.starshots.co.uk/[/url] cllick on the gallery llink, then got to archive page 2, look fo newcastle blues at gosforth civic hall then mojohand, from memory i'm the second phot down!!??
  13. Ive never had my markbass 2x10 move about and the ashdown LG1000 head i used had velcro on the bottom to keep it firmly in place!!!
  14. OK so ive got a crappy old fender frontman 15B practice amp!!! i dont use it much but occassionally at home to practice, it rattles!!!! i thought it was just due to the extremely crappy speaker, so i had an old eminence beta 8" driver lying about so i finally swapped them over tonight to see if it helped.... NOPE!!! i'd just like to be able to crank it up a bit without the annoying rattles and i know the beta is way over powered for the amp itslef!! is it cos its a sealed little box?? would putting port holes in the rear help??? or is it cos its probably not air tight??? not a major dilema but i aint got any spare cash to buy a small practice combo (unless anyone can suggest a VERY good practice amp??!!)
  15. would have been but the missus just saw my bank statement!!!!!! and ive had to clear out my paypal just to calm her down!!! Ive got a set of these on my warwick and they look really cool and fancied a set for my 24 fret jazz.
  16. Have decided to definately let this one go but after trades for a good quality cab. My needs are lightweight as possible, as loud as possible. I use a MAG600 head rated at 4ohm, and i'd really prefer to only use a single cab rather than two. I do like plenty of bottom end but not shed loads, and i never slap so 'bright' isnt a requirement. just so lonag as it sounds clean and doesn't 'fart' when pushed hard. I play mainly small/medium gigs as rule with the very ocassional large venue. I do have a markbass 2x10 traveller cab that is use with this head but i do tend tofeel it doesnt give me enough low end. what have you got???? if i was to sell then £450 as a guide thanks

  18. Ive just decided to go for an EDB and won a rather nice pace one off ebay!!! I used to play double bass when i was at school (20+yrs ago!!!) and only a little, and havent seen or touched one since!!! any advice on re-learning to play one???
  19. A couple of years ago i started gettong pain in my left elbow and more worryingly numbness in my fingers, I still gigged and found towrds the end of a gig i cstruggled to use my left hand fingers. Turned out i had 'Ulna nerve compression'. I had to have an op whereby they opened up my elbow and chiselled a bit away from the bone that the ulna nerve travelled through to free it up a bit. Anyhow fine after that but now its coming back!!!! which will mean another op but this time to reposition the nerve altogether!!!! needless to say i'm putting it off for as long as poss as last time i had to take 8weeks off work, and no bass playing/gigs for that same length of time
