Lonnie Donegan. Job done.

I thought Randy just played a Precision, Hagstrom and a Rickenbacker. Turns out I was very, very wrong... https://randymeisnerretrospective.com/2023/01/26/basses-used-by-randy-1968-2006/

Sounds like it's had a bump during shipping, maybe. Hopefully an easy fix.

Yep, Like I say.. something's not right.

Yeah, there's something, somewhere, not right.

And there definitely isn’t an issue re: the signal the amp is receiving being too low? Where were your input and output gains and EQ etc. set?

I don't know how loud your band is, but IME it's should easily loud enough for a bigger room, within the confines of what the cab is capable of, of course. I wouldn't worry about the clip light, but 90% volume? That's insane. Is the BF2x10 4ohm?

Hi all FWIW the 'correct' startup sequence (at least on mine) is: 1. Red HB light & 'Protect' light for about 30 seconds 2. A gently audible mechanical 'click' then a switch to green HB light and 'Ready' light. I wonder if the LED has failed on @RikiB's? I don't think having the amp on a cab will be a contributing factor to any problems..! Also, I am fairly sure Lezsek is way on holiday at the moment, so if you're getting zero / brief responses, that might be why.

I hope I'm wrong, but I strongly suspect this will be absolutely pants.

£900 for an incredible hand-made amp is pretty good going.

I’m glad I don’t subscribe to that theory… 😄

Just spotted these sold in auction yesterday for stupidly low amounts, not helped by the hopeless descriptions. Please tell me a BC’er got them…? https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-289---1973-fender-precision-bass-left-handed----sunburst/?lot=38563&so=0&st=Bass&sto=0&au=117&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=1&pp=48&pn=1&g=1 https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-288---1973-fender-precision-bass-left-handed---black/?lot=38564&so=0&st=Bass&sto=0&au=117&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=1&pp=48&pn=1&g=1

I think you are.

Presumably we’re talking WB? The ‘upgraded’ version is incredibly clean. I preferred the earlier glow of the standard, but that’s not to detract from its astonishing volume. The fun just started to happen a little earlier. Had I been in a metal band or something, I’d probably upgrade.

Sides and top are exposed.

Big Eye by Christine and the Queens.. OMG

It was a nice colour before it went wrong.

That one looks about ready to involuntarily become a Steinberger.

It only works for me if I hold my phone 6" or so from the pickups.

Yeah - I’m not convinced.

No mention of the replacement pickguard? That's a bit of an oversight. I take that back. It looks like it might be original... the photo is just very saturated.

La Bella FL's and GHS Precision Flats... fairly interchangeable IMO. Beautifully warm with clear mids.
