I think the thread is in good humour and know some gay people who would find it quite amusing !

Nicely done chaps ! Glad that as a community we have managed to help someone out again !

Yes it would require an ext cab to get the full rating of the amplifier. On it's own it'd be about 200w. That said - my ABM300 with a MAG210 cab runs at 8ohms too and I don't need to crank it.

What I mean is you don't need an allen key. An alley key will work in the same way the screwdriver does above, there is no need for it to be hexagonal.

Don't really need one at all ! Anything thin enough and metallic should do the job, i've used a screwdriver in the past. See this pic courtesy of google:

You could have a line out from your hifi headphone socket to the input of the head.. impedence should be close enough. I've used my amp as an MP3 player by doing the same.

I used my old EB180-12 with my existing MAG210 and it was great. Never did experience issues with 'mismatched drivers' . Here's a pic of it i've dug out..

Fender will for a long time run off their reputation. I don't think there's many people who will pretend that Fender are 'up there' in the industry as far as quality and value for money is concerned. The fact that you see them being played by most bands on TV means they will always be the bass to desire for kids who want to learn.

Looks like they only want the margins to go one way..

It looks hot with that black perloid plate.. Jeannies did you say ? Must have a look for my 55-02. It has one on from the original owner but I always like a change of clothes !

My parents have that sofa in that colour ! .

Because they get paid to play them too ! Yamaha can afford it far more than some small custom luthier.

I played with both in PMT Birmingham a few weeks ago, preferred the BTB for looks and SR for feel :wacko:.

If you don't think you can do it yourself then the best bet would be to get it down to Trevor at PMT Birmingham. He rewired my Dad's Hohner Precision for £15. Probably take cost more for yours if pots etc needed but give him a ring and see: 0121 359 5056.

You're from West Bromwich ?! Oh dear. I've just moved to Great Barr actually and did notice my IQ drop a bit . You shouldn't need any new pots or jack unless your current ones are shot. Just a case of soldering the wires in the same places as you unsolder them..

Nice one - I take it you're in a jazz fusion band ?! .

Used them a few years ago to order a set of 6 string D'Addario Prosteels, they sent a 5 set. Rang them to complain - they sent the 6 set out the same day with an SAE to return the 5. Didn't have to wait till i'd returned the 5 so thumbs up from me.
