THIS CABINET HAS BEEN SOLD. 

Thanks for your contribution. A beast, yes, but one with class!

I bought this terrific cab from Karlfer in Wigan 3 years ago and it has served me well in a rock band that is now defunct. Karlfer is a great guy who undersold the Made-in -Italy cab for only £375, so that is my asking price (around 15% less than on a famous auction site).

I bought Tom's Epi Viola. Nice smooth transaction, as we'd like them all to be. Thanks Tom.

PM'd.

Feedback for Karlfer.
Karl is a gentleman. No pressure sale, informative, quick comms, and a very fair price on the Markbass 2x12. Can't recommend Karl too highly.
Thank you.

Just bought a great condition Squier Jazzer from Dave. Great seller, fair price and prompt delivery. What more can you ask for? Another firm recommendation for Dave.

Hello

Nice bass. I am about to put up for sale my Spector Rebop (prefer four strings). Interested in a trade?

Best

Thanks to chrisgriffiths for a smooth transaction in record time to buy his Little Mark II.

Thanks Chris

Hi JimElliott

Is the 2x10 a GS or DB? I've checked their website and am a little confused.

Thanks
Alan

Wizbat, that's great. I think I shall tackle this myself. This may seem a daft question, but what would the 'pins' be made of exactly?

Thanks
Alan

First of all, Wizbat, thanks for that. I am in Lancashire. I've just followed your links to your six strings - incredible.

Jon, thanks for the info. Yes, the one nearest the neck looks original because the hole someone has made in the scratchplate is a poor job. Also, I was wrong, the two pick-ups do not sound the same - maybe similar. But the new one is much 'hotter'. The micro switch is working but not in the central position.

Wow, only been on this forum a week and learning so much.

Thanks guys
Alan

Hi Jon

Thanks for your well-informed reply. Now I know what it's called!

Yes, the bass is as I bought it, and the last owner said he had just changed the strings so this is the first time they have been off in a couple of years.

I'm not sure what you mean by the '2 neck position high gains'. I must admit the switching confuses me. Do you mean the large toggle switch or the tiny 3-way switch embedded in the finger rest? Left or right the tiny 3-way sounds the same, centre is off!

One other thing, you may be able to detect two small holes on the upper part of the body (under the elbow) - what might they have been used for?

I'll try the other thread for advice on the pick-up and see how I get on.

Thanks
Alan

Hi there

I mistakenly asked this question elsewhere on the forum rather than here. I was cleaning my Ibanez Ric copy when the connector leads from the controls detached from the pick-up.

The wires seemed to be attached to just a single strand of copper wire on the pick-up. Is this the case? Is there a special way I need to re-connect them? Any guidance with this would be valuable as I am cack-handed with tools to say the least.

... and two more for good measure.

Thanks again for any advice.

Hello Dave

I took the pick-up surround off the bridge pick-up on my Ibanez copy Rickenbacker and the connections came off. The wires from the controls [i]seemed [/i]to be attached to a single piece of copper wire. Is this so? How do I re-attach the cable to the pick-up?

Thanks
Alan
