Yep, best company I've ever dealt with, inside and outside of music.

ORANGE OB-1 500 BASS HEAD - OB1 BOXED LESS THAN 1 WEEK OLD
dave74200 replied to sirmuppet's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Why don't you return it mate. Most retailers have a no quibble 14 day money back guarantee. Just a thought. -
Hi all, as the title suggests really. Ideally I'd like a bag that opens front and back so I don't have to take the amp out. Anyone seen these? If not, what's the best bag or case to buy? Cheers in advance for any help, Dave.

Change my Hartke HX Hydrive 410 for a Barefaced Big Baby 2?
dave74200 replied to Wilco's topic in Amps and Cabs
I have a super twin and it's the best cab I've ever owned. And I've owned lots! -
I've probably gone through about 20 cabs in the last 10 years. It was so bad at times that my band would take the piss asking what cab I'd turn up with at each gig. They were either great but too heavy or light but too thin sounding. I recently took the plunge and bought a Super Twin by Barefaced and absolutely love it. I can now see what all the fuss is about. It's massive sounding, with cracking tone and punch and I can pick it up with two fingers. Suffice to say, I'll not be in the market for another cab until this one either breaks or gets stolen! They are that good I promise you, genius!

Aria Pro SB Elite 1 pickup only half working
dave74200 replied to dave74200's topic in Repairs and Technical
[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1456923644' post='2993543'] The pickup in my SB Elite has also failed in a similar way. Both these places offer replacements at around £100. [url="http://www.armstrongpickups.co.uk/miscellaneous-pickups/"]http://www.armstrong...aneous-pickups/[/url] [url="http://www.rautiaguitars.net/aria-pro-ii.html"]http://www.rautiagui...ria-pro-ii.html[/url] Dave, is it black and did you post it on south wales bass players Facebook group? [/quote] Thanks mate and yes it is! -
Hi guys, I've just bought the bass and the pickup is picking up the E and A strings properly but the D and G strings really quietly. After testing it by prodding it with a screwdriver, only the top half is working. Can this be fixed? If not, where do I get a replacement from? Thanks for any help in advance. Cheers, Dave.

Or try a Tech 21 VT bass pedal mate. I'd highly recommend them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_be9GSlt_eQ

I've always found that the only way to get that proper Ampeg valve tone is to buy one of their amps that takes two people to carry it!

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1454686356' post='2972086'] Should really read 'Because of what the foo fighters bassist has used EXCLUSIVELY FOR OVER 15 years I want to be faithful to it within reason' ;-) [/quote] Along with Biffy Clyro, The Stranglers, Blockheads, SOAD, Suede, The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Pino, Pink Floyd........ I could go on!

Buy an Ashdown ABM 810. They normally go for really good prices, 200-300 and are awesome cabs.
-
Does anybody know if it's possible to buy a new front grille for an Ampeg SVT 410 HLF so it'll look like the AV version, with the silver front? I really like this look and would go for it if it were possible. Cheers in advance.

Price drop to £600. -
An outstanding example of an all valve USA made SVT. The amp has been recently serviced and has always worked perfectly. The holy grail of bass tone in a box. Why am I selling? Because I'm only now always playing small venues and although the 2 Pro has a master volume, allowing you to have awesome overdriven tones at low volumes, i feel that the amp is not getting the true exposure it deserves. This is the best example of a USA made SVT that I've ever seen. It is in excellent condition and the tubes have years of life left in them. Comes in an excellent condition flightcase. [attachment=205766:svt.jpg] I'm based in Barry and any tryouts are most welcome. This is priced to sell so please no silly offers. This is the amp that you must own at least once in your life! Please PM me any questions or text me on 07581329020. Cheers, Dave. [attachment=205767:svt1.jpg] [attachment=205768:svt2.jpg]

Cheers guys. Really appreciate it.
-
Hi, as the title suggests really. I adore the amp but get fed up of picking it up and carrying it around. The amp itself is manageable but the extra weight of the flightcase makes it hard work. Has anyone housed one or a similar amp in a rack bag? I I'm close to trying it so would really appreciate any advice you may have. Cheers muchos.

Get a 2 pro. 3 pro x 10!
-
I know someone who had a RW Precision and upgraded to Seymour Duncan SPB-1 saying it was an improvement.
-
Cheers all for your help. Lots of food for thought!
-
Hiya mate. They're not bad heads but nowhere near as good as Ampeg's range of all tube heads. If you like the Ampeg tone but are on a tight budget, i'd advise go for a PF500. I've never played through one but have heard lots of good things about them. If money is no object, get an SVT 2 Pro!!

Hi all, I have a Squier JV Precision which I love the feel of. It plays like butter and has a nice rich vintage tone. My issue is, for the music I play and enjoy playing, my MIM P bass does a better job. I like the aggressive modern tone of the newer bass. I guess that I'm just not a vintage tone type of guy! So I'm thinking; do I replace the pickups in the JV (it's presently all original) or sell/trade it? I don't want to devalue it but would love it to sound like a growly lunatic! Any help would be appreciated, cheers, Dave.

Hi all, I have a squier JV Precision which is awesome but doesn't give me the same growly ferocious tone my old USA Precision did. For this reason, I want to change the pickups and am looking for advice as to which ones people would recommend? I've been looking at some Seymour Duncan ones but there's lots of choice. I use an SVT 2 Pro amp. Any advice would be appreciated, cheers.
-
I love the EQ on mine. I've always found the 2 pro a versatile classic in a rack case.
-
I used one once at a rehearsal and found it didn't have any power. I had to have it on almost full volume to hear it and with that came unwanted buzz and distortion. IMHO they're bedroom amps I'm afraid.
