re: the 20-second mark.. someone needs to remind him he was also the singer.

I can also recommend this, for... err.. the inside story.

^^^^ Not much of that is British, as-per the OP's request.

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.
