Not many manufacturers go to that much bother on their website![/quote] I think lakland try to go that extra mile I had a 55-02 and it was a gorgeous bass. I decided im not a five string player but i still have a couply of lakie basses On day im going to get a 44-02 Good luck in your hunt, Im sure you wont be disapointed whichever way you go.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='436529' date='Mar 16 2009, 07:36 PM']Just traded it for another amp, deals with no money changing hands, my second favourite sort. AIn't made much noise with it yet, will be after dinner.[/quote] I would be interested to see what you think I could also be tempted if you decide to sell When I win the lottery Im going to get a sample of every amp they ever made

If my maths is correct a normal 4x10 with a total impedance of 8ohms has two pairs of 8 ohm speaker wired in series giving 16 ohms each pair If these two pairs are then wired in PARALLEL the total impedance is back to 8 ohms and 2 8 ohm cabs gives you a 4 o ohm load if wired in parrallel.

[quote name='Yessikris' post='436160' date='Mar 16 2009, 02:56 PM']I used to have one of these,it was a great amp,and quite loud,but it was damm heavy!!!it's bigger then it looks also.[/quote] I had a look on the acoustic Wiki and the shipping weight quoted is over 100 lbs which makes Crezs metro almost a lightweight

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='435264' date='Mar 15 2009, 03:56 PM']Anyone actually used one of these? Might be scoring one locally, bit more interesting as a living room amp that my electric blue.[/quote] Did you go for this one? Ive got a 220 head which I use with a single 15 acoustic cab for smaller gigs Great amp Dont think they are fetching silly money though apart from the 360 range, Theres loads in the states and few over here. I bought my original 450 in 1977 from Kingfisher in Fleet who were the distributors at that time,and I have only ever seen a couple of acoustics ever since I was very tempted to bid on this and I watched the biddint at the end, but its a bit big and heavy these days.

Thanks for the replies I didnt try it before, it was in a pretty poor state, dirty, rusty strings, hadnt been used for years. I stripped annd cleaned it and found the dodgy battery clip i will give it a go passive which i havent really done as the tone is so monster active Mahoghany body so its heavy Yes its a 2000 model e and thank you very much nig for the offer Im also going to have a check of the wiring see if it all looks ok

I recently got a very early G&L 2000 with the chrome plate on the front and a conventional head stock. When I got it, the battery was badly corroded so i bought a a new pp3 connector and soldered it on. When I use the bass it sounds great but I get an intermittent problem where the bass sounds as if its going through a tremolo unit with a fast volume up and down. Anyone got any suggestions?

No you are not the only one My 20 th anniversary has a much lower output than my stirling a g&L and some of my other basses. I did contact strings and things about it a few years ago, did some checks, but couldnt find anything wrong. I think there is always the temptation to worry if something appears to be incorrect, but how much of a problem does it cause you? Mine sounds great, I can adjust the input gain on my eden and ashdown to suit. The only pain is if you change your bass mid set then the levels are wrong. I generally set to the lowest output, and then just turn down if I have a more powerfull bass.

[quote name='mike257' post='425892' date='Mar 5 2009, 10:42 AM']Fair enough, but only if the signature is the [i]reason[/i] you're buying the bass. I don't know who Bob Glaub is either, but if I played a Lakky Bob Glaub and I liked it, his name on the headstock wouldn't stop me buying one![/quote] I dont think the Laklands have signatures on, my Jo osbourne doesnt

I have enough bother with just 1 neck and 4 strings You wont be worried about a lightweight rig if you can carry that

[quote name='bassmansky' post='425348' date='Mar 4 2009, 05:43 PM']ive tryed the squier 50's cv and was not overly impressed with the pup.everything else about it was very good imo.change the pup on it and it would be superb![/quote] I have a classic vibe 50s and although I intended to swap the pick up out its perfectly ok in its own right Its actually a bit hotter than a fender resissue precision pick up

guitar village in farnham had about 4 A hollow body, a glaub, a 44-02 I think and possbiy a Jo

[quote name='Leowasright' post='420965' date='Feb 27 2009, 02:52 PM']Dave, NB, Do you know of someone that fixes valve amps around Southampton? I used to get Mick in MM music to do it, but they have long since sold the shop and retired. I suppose I ought to get the bias looked at once new valves are in. David Hare[/quote] Try the noizyboys who are christchurch way 01202 490110 07780 605058 i dont know if they can help with a valve amp but we have taken a studiomaster desk and one of our pa amps in the past, and they have been prompt reasonable and professional I dont know anyone reasonable in portsmouth, Steves amps in godalming are good but its a fair way from you.

Although its easy to blame the manufacturer/retailer/importer whatever the price of the pound has gone from nearly 2 dollars to the pound to 1.43 That means anything paid for thats imported will increase by 30% just for currency fluctuation. If you add to that vat and duties on this increase, plus freight etc etc, I think there will be a round of serious price rises on just about everything I suspect manufacturers and retailers will try very very hard to keep the costs down , because they know they are in serious situation regarding future sales in the current economic climate Anyone who has regularly imported from e bay us will realise exactly how much costs have gone up. If anything, I suspect those manufacturers didnt pass on all the price savings they made when the pound was strong last year and the year before I dont know much about Hartke or the change, but I suspect you are benfiting from stock bought at old prices rather than a deliberate intent to push up prices.
