Ok, so they are replacements then. I'll check the date using that code. They all test ok using a test sound source, won't be able to fire them up properly till the weekend. How the bins are likely to respond with those drivers in will be interesting. Thanks BOTB & BF for the info.

I have just acquired these from a premises about to be demolished. [attachment=224336:P.A..jpg] The only info I can find on the minibins are that they are '70/'80s 100w disco speakers. [attachment=224337:Minibin.JPG] On looking inside I found they had Eminence Delta 15A speakers with no power rating on them. Looking online they check out at 400w rms. They may not be the original speakers or were there 100w Eminence Delta speakers at one time?

I use one of the old Kickback 15s on smaller gigs. I also use it on a jam night I do where It holds its own, never has anyone said it is not loud enough, sometimes I'm having to turn it down. Two other bass players have bought one after using mine on the jam night. Bought it in 2001. The 15 has a 6Ω speaker.

I've set mine so the strings have the same spacing (17mm) between them, the centres are all different.

Haven't bought one for years. I have over 50 unopened reminders to give back to "The Man" when he calls.

Jammy B******, all I got was a Pizza flyer and a TV licence reminder.

The Artec mudbuckers were in the 30kΩ range similar to the original Gibson ones. I purchased one but it did not sound the same. They also had 4 magnets on. Mine were in the wrong orientation, I corrected them but they still never had that massive mudbucker sound. I never got around to trying it with just two magnets on, something I may try later now it is on my mind.

Damn! I wish I would have waited now.

Anyone else get this popping up... [attachment=219489:Basschat.JPG]

I had this popping up a few times recently.. I haven't yet got to that stage yet, anyone else get it? [attachment=219483:Basschat.JPG]

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1461056129' post='3030929'] I have a Warwick Thumb that was fitted with front and side leds about 18 years ago. Can't see anything on the neck to indicate how it is done. Never had any problems. I wonder though if the sides ones are leds or fibre optics. [/quote] If I shine a torch on the front marker the side one lights up, so I presume they are only fibre optics, which makes me now wonder about the pricing which says front and side leds. I wonder if it too late to get on to trading standards over this. [attachment=219106:Sims Leds..JPG]

I only go on the AMPS section on TB. I learnt how to bias my Ampeg SVT 3 Pro and have since passed on the info to others. Always found there to be some technically knowledgeable posters.

If the £1,000,000 question was "name a Prince song other than Purple Rain" I would still be a pauper.

I remember seeing Fender ads in the '70s that 9 out 10 bass players used a Fender. I have always been one of the 1 in 10 that didn't.

My Dad played the accordion from when he was 14 (1930). Mainly in old time dance bands. [attachment=216076:Rhythm Boys.jpg]

[quote]One singer would regularly introduce me by saying "He played with Joe Cocker for many years", which was a total lie.[/quote] Could have been worse, he could have said Elton John.

George Melly.

I'll bet he is never without a woman at the end of the night though.

My 610 HLF is an SLM USA one and is made from OSB (Oriented Strand Board). I believe the Vietnamese ones are plywood.

I wasn't fussed over either of them.

As Epiphone did do a short scale EB3 for a while, it might be worth enquiring as to the length of the case. Edit - comparing to my short scale case it does look longer. [attachment=209233:Epi cases.JPG]

Did you manage to sort your problem at all?

Used to watch him weekly performing with The Liverpool Scene in O'Connors Tavern, Liverpool http://youtu.be/1gmpQC2BNfg

Try inserting a jack plug in and out of any send and return sockets a few times and maybe spray in a little switch cleaner.
