Ashdown RM 500-EVO II 500w Bass Combo, replace speakers
BassBunny replied to damien b's topic in Repairs and Technical
Just get replacements from Ashdown. At least you will get speakers designed for that combo. If in doubt, call Ashdown, speak to Dave Green. Best customer service on the planet. -
Not sure if this would be of use but Ashdown have a couple of Hayden Amp sleeves in their clearout sale. https://ashdownmusic.com/products/hayden-speakeasy-head-sleeve

Ibanez Mezzo 32" Scale 5 String - SRMD205-BKF

What's the budget?

Having just turned 75 I relish learning new numbers. I've been playing with soul bands on and off since the 60's, so some of our numbers I've been playing for 50+ years. Funnily enough it's these numbers I seem to make the odd mistake with as I feel I know them so well, I don't seem to think about them. Newer numbers I really concentrate on.

Fitting Passive Switch and Circuit to Ibanez SRMD 200
BassBunny replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
I had toyed with the idea of going passive but Vol/Blend/Tone and a rotary switch with some different capacitors in a bit like a ToneStyler. Regarding cost, going passive would be a lot cheaper than a new pre-amp. A Glock 2-band is about £100 give or take. -
Fitting Passive Switch and Circuit to Ibanez SRMD 200
BassBunny replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
Depends which version. The 4 pot 2-band and 5 pot 3- band both do. The treble pot becomes the passive control. The 3 pot 2-band doesn't as it's a stacked bass/treble. What I like about the Glock is it doesn't colour the sound when set flat. In fact if you set it flat there is no difference between active and passive. -

BassBunny replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've got a Glockenklang 2 band in one bass. It's pretty much my go to pre-amp. I had them in all my three Bass Collections before I sold them and I've a 3 band in my Marlleaux. I picked up a second hand Norstrand 4 knob 3 band for the other one but have yet to fit it -

I tried the Active/Passive mod in the attached diagram on my SRMD205. I ended up with a load of noise and quickly removed it. It could be that I didn't actually mount the switch it was just loose in the cavity as I didn't want to drill any holes if it didn't work. Not sure if this was the problem or not. I've gone the new pre-amp route as I reckon the Mezzo range are pretty astounding VFM and I have two of them. I actually prefer them to my other, considerably more expensive instruments. -
Jeez, I got 40-50 when I used them.

Wow. I must admit the initial prices are always high and then you get the "reasonable" prices as they all start undercutting each other but that quote seems really high. Will non of the major delivery companies,DPD, DHL etc., do the job?
-
Have you tried the " man and van" solution via Shiply? I have used them a couple of times and managed to get a combo picked up and delivered for around £50.

It looks like Black wire to Red terminal and Red wire to Black terminal could be correct. There's a couple of hand drawn diagrams of various Eden cabs on TalkBass and they are all wired that way. Here's one drawn up by someone from Eden and although a 4x10 it's the same principle.
-
Good shout. G4M have acquired the Eden name, and presumably the remaining stock and spares, from Marshall after they abandoned the brand. Will be interesting to see what they do next.

Tom McGuire and the Brassholes. Awesome band with a really tight brass section. https://youtu.be/Ds76T0AT93I?si=G5A2QA-8VfvZanIZ

Absolutely. Great range of beers and the pop-up food vendors are great. We normally pop in every weekend if I'm not gigging.

It is indeed. I'll be enjoying a pint or two with him on Christmas Eve at the local craft brewery.

I'll drop you a pm.

I know a guy that does vinyl work and based in Sale, just outside Manchester. If you wanted a flashy printed design he is brilliant at that sort of thing as well.

Strowger, you must be ex BT/PO Telephones. I remember my stint in an exchange during my apprenticeship.
-
Gotcha, my bad. That's exactly the "cure". It's inserted/removing of a jack plug that disturbs any crud. A bit of switch cleaner just ensures you get a nice clean jack socket at the end but certainly not always necessary.
-
It's a bit difficult to explain. It's not the tip or ring where a jack would touch. It's a set of contacts that break when the jack is inserted. I'll try a get a pic of the type of socket used.
