Thats a very nice and straightforward tuition video doesnt work very well if you have any of the precision variants with the truss rod sdjuster at the base of the neck where you have to take the ....... neck off to adjust it Also there were some nice clips of the questions sent in to Dan shown alongside

Can I suggest that to obtain the best listening experience you also add one of these main leads. They may well be more expensive at £2500 than your average maplins jobbie, but well worth it Valhalla Power Cord Ideal partner with The Quantum. Unterminated cable is not available. VALHALLA Reference Power Cord from Nordost redefines the standards of performance in this category. The Valhalla offers a dramatic sound stage, tremendous dynamic range and superb articulation of the musical event. When used with video components; clarity, detail, and the natural depth of colors are revealed. Valhalla Power Cord uses our new proprietary 'Dual Micro Mono-filament' technology to enhance audio and video performance. The cable consists of 7 solid extruded silver 16 AWG OFC conductors suspended in a Dual Micro Mono-Filament design. By using solid core extruded silver over OFC conductors, strand interaction, hot spots and carbonization, which can occur in stranded cables, are eliminated ensuring optimum performance. The VAHALLA power cable has a very high propagation speed. Unlike conventional power cables which have propagation speeds of less than 50% the speed of light, VALHALLA Reference power cord has a speed of 90 % the speed of light. This offers vast improvements in all facets of musical and visual performance. VALHALLA power cable also uses Nordost's proprietary 'Dual Micro Mono-Filament' technology which greatly enhances audio and video performance. This technology uses two FEP Mono-Filament threads which are wound around one another. These dual Mono-Filaments are then drawn around the conductor in a very precise helix pattern, this construction introduces more air space around the conductors and insulation contact with the conductors is reduced by more than 85%. Extruded FEP insulation is superior to all other materials in that it has very low signal loss and a high thermal efficiency meaning that it dissipates heat very quickly. This allows greater power to be transferred more efficiently. The use of FEP Micro Mono-Filament construction which has a very low dielectric constant and minimal insulation contact with the conductor means power is transferred extremely efficiently. Dual Micro Mono-Filament technology increases current flow, improves the transmission speed to over 90% the speed of light and dissipates heat. This design lowers the resistance of the cable keeping power loss extremely low. By using very precise manufacturing techniques, whereby the seven mono-filament silver plated power conductors are wound in a special configuration, the impedance, capacitance, and other electrical specifications are maintained to very tight tolerances. Another benefit of this design is to eliminate external EMI/RF interference. The result is truly superb sound quality and stunning visuals. Each VALHALLA Reference is hand built at our factory in the USA using highest quality Gold Plated connectors. Each cable uses the highest grade IEC connectors with triple gold plated Oxygen Free Copper contacts for improved conductivity. The design of the connector eliminates stress so that heat cycling and vibration will not loosen the contact points. IEC and AC Main Plugs are used in each cable. Specifications Construction: Precision Micro Mono-Filament Insulation: FEP Conductors: 7 x 16 AWG with 70 microns Extruded Silver over 99.999999% OFC Connectors: Gold Plated IEC/Wall plug US/UK/EUR Color: Clear Red and Black filaments Speed: 91% Speed of light Power Rating: 60AMP Capacitance: 8pF/ft DC Resistance: 1.3 Ohms per 1000ft/304M as terminated. 1m available but 2m is better

I have met him a couple of times and he is very nice and funny man. He was the reason for my taking up the bass in the first place and i still enjoy a dose of playing the shads now. Good luck to him

I have a tokai hard puncher [precision] from the 80s i think and its a great bass Like everything theres good and bad try before you buy, but Tokai have made some great stuff in the past

Google is your friend [url="http://www.e-chords.com/cifra/idmusica/45724.htm"]http://www.e-chords.com/cifra/idmusica/45724.htm[/url]

If its only a few weeks old why dont you take it back to the place you bought it from, that should be repair replacement under warantee

[quote name='alexclaber' post='713541' date='Jan 15 2010, 11:24 AM']P.S. It's impedance, not ohmage! [/quote] OOPS

I have one of these as well and I dont have any more noise problems at home than I have with any of my other basses I did sheild it with copper foil but it didnt make that much of a difference as Fender china obviously paint on some sort of sheilding paint, and mines not really any more noisy than my lakland jo when using a single pickup Great bass for the money

You cant I have a mini 4x8 and 1 1x5 as well I suspect the speakers are probably 8 ohm jobbies wired in series parralell to give a combined ohmage of 8 ohms. You can probably rewire the speakers to get 2 ohms or 32 ohms but not 4 To be honest its probably not worth it anyway, the difference in volume going to a 4 ohm and getting those extra watts is probably negligable. the fact you are putting in half as much power again into 1 small cabinet wont give you half as much volume again or anywhere near it. iI changed out a 8 ohm 15 for a 4 ohm and there was little in it.

My precision that I got back in 1969 already had the headstock cracked through the e tuner hole all the way to the end past the g. It was poorly glued back together and hasnt moved in the last 40 years

[quote name='WalMan' post='707652' date='Jan 10 2010, 01:46 PM']Unfortunately I then have to blow out the next one, possibly two as I have a dat for the first on the operations on my plucking hand & wrist [/quote] good Luck

Ive been watching this i would be suprised if it reached that price although you can never tell with evil bay the amp is an end 70s early 80s 125 watt into 4 ohm according to the specs. I would love the cab its what i wanted in 1977 when I bought my 450/406 and the sellers right they are rare although there was one a while ago in Birmingham which went for £250 You can pick up a 220 which is a better amp imo for £100-200 which makes the asking price for the cab £6-700 A piece of history

I guess if the musician has emotionally touched you its likely you will be upset on their death I wept when Lennon and Karen Carpenter died but not Jimi or Elvis I think its good to let your emotions go I used to be the british stiff upper lip but i got out of that years ago

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='700387' date='Jan 4 2010, 12:49 PM']Don't think going 4 ohm would make enough difference to be worth the change.[/quote] As someone who upgraded an 8 ohm 15 to a 4 ohm fifteen i would agree the the difference in volume is not worth the extra cost unless you buy efficient speakers. A 4 ohm small cab can generally only be used on its own as either you have to pair it with another 4 ohm and find an amp that runs down to 2 ohm, wire them in parrellel giving you an 8 ohm load or have a mismatch and it wont be so easy to sell on later on Also by the time you have bought a couple of decent tens you might as well buy a better cab, or build one of Bills,

Ive done a couple and been really pleased with the results Theres a number of different issues though, one is in adding in all the costs for the little bits you use often you have lying around, tools, sandpaper, wet and dry, tack rag etc, and then the preparation and drying time. I had to remove all the paint from my last one because it was in such bad condition, and that took a long time and created a lot of mess. Then there was wood grain filler, sanding sealer, primer and paint, all of which require drying time before polishing. Even though I left my finished body for over two weeks, after the two or three weeks it took me to rub it down and paint, the body was really quite soft. It really needed something or somewhere warm to dry it off hard. Good luck if you decide to have a go, but be warned of the people who want to pay you next to nothing but will moan and bad mouth you if its not up to a custom shop finish. [Im not a cynic ha ha]

The pick up was the usual cheapo job but the body was wood and not ply or mdf [which some of the squiers are,] and the paintwork was excellent. The neck joint was pretty good too with an un numed precision neck so i think you will be reasonably pleased. If you think it would cost you probably more prepare and paint one of these bodies than he charges its a good deal. No affiliated etc etc

most of the original 4x12s in the 60s which designed to pair up with a 50 or 100w valve head.were 16 ohm there were ususlly 4 x 15 ohm speakers wired up as series / parrellel. 2 pairs each wired in series giving 30 ohms, and then those 2 pairs wired in series coming back to 15 ohm.

[quote name='alexisonfire' post='694170' date='Dec 27 2009, 11:33 AM']So your £800 LED tv stops working after 2.5 years and it's out of the 1 year warranty, would you just dispose of it and get a new one? I don't think this is taking the piss at all unless the item has not been used in compliance with the manufacturers recommendations. Your covered by the "Sale of Goods" act for 6 years from when you bought it. The responsibility does lye with PMT so theres no point speaking to Ashdown! +1[/quote] If you had a £800 TV you would take it into the local repairer and have it fixed, as you would if it was an Amp head, or a car, or any other item that was outside the guarantee period. I dont think thats what Johns saying though, he is saying that the speaker spec he got from Sica indicates its not a 300 watt speaker and the cabinet was sold to him as a 300 watt speaker. Therefore the specification or design is wrong causing premature failure.
