  1. So, at sound check last night I noticed a short, sharp squeal coming from my Veillette. It wasn't constant and varied between an almost feedback squeal to a fizzing sound. At first I assumed it was the batteries dying, so I popped in a fresh pair to no avail. I also trimmed the gain inside the bass, but that didn't solve it either. I was running the bass through a Bassbone, with my BSX upright in the other channel, and that bass didn't have the same problem so I'm confident it's the bass and not the amp. I also ran the bass direct into the amp, and it still did it set up that way too. It seemed to be more obvious when I blended toward the piezo rather than the magnetic pickup, and a quick google just now suggests piezos can squeal? Any ideas BC? The bass has worked faultlessly since I bought it new three years ago, and nothing has changed in terms of strings, setup etc. Cheers Gareth PS One thing I didn't try is a different instrument lead.
  2. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1358438500' post='1939171'] Sold it on as it wasn't grippy enough for me. However, having spoken to Lars at Richter he's going to send some straps to Phil at Bass Gear for me to try out! The quality was certainly there, lovely straps. [/quote] The Springbreak is also available with a microfibre underside, so that should address the slippage problem I had (albeit with a slightly neck heavy bass).
  3. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1357738934' post='1927509'] Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Have managed to pick up an as new 4.5" wide Richter Springbreak for good money, so hopefully I'm all sorted. [/quote] Sold it on as it wasn't grippy enough for me.

  5. PM me your address Jake, I have some you can try.
  6. I regularly mistype basschat as asschat. Something very different.....
  7. It's too quick (drummer's fault!), but here's my band doing Wichita Lineman. Sounds best in headphones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=row3eyKWms8
  8. [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1358067521' post='1932435'] Oh really? he's not desperate to sell, although it has been up for a month or more, recently readvertised though. [/quote] That's just me. If he isn't desperate to sell he's less likely to be open to haggling. If you are comfortable offering £280 then why not try that.
  9. Given the state of the market, and the age of the combo, I personally wouldn't go over about £250.
  10. It'll be around 350 watts with an 8 ohm extension cab. The later 2x12 version (Silverado Special) was a 350 watt combo. The aural enhancer is effectively a mid cut: the more you turn it up the more it cuts the mids while boosting the lows and highs.
  11. No, you are in the right place! The Silverado is a good combo, as most SWR gear from that era was, but it's low powered (220 watts at 8 ohms) and pretty big and heavy (70lbs), so hard to move. EQ is useful, with a mid sweep. Cheers Gareth
  12. Bought a lovely strap from Pete. Great communication and a pleasure to deal with, next day delivery too! Thanks very much
  13. I was the original owner of this bass. It really is a VERY good example.
  14. Thanksf for all the suggestions guys. Have managed to pick up an as new 4.5" wide Richter Springbreak for good money, so hopefully I'm all sorted.
  15. One of the NY151s I have for sale would sit very nicely under the 604. Plenty of punch for a 1x15 and the horn adds some top end sweetness.
  16. [quote name='davehux' timestamp='1357561985' post='1924422'] I know - it's got your valves in it [/quote] I know!!!!!
  17. [quote name='Basskiller666' timestamp='1357559117' post='1924336'] So ideally it should be ok to run the above mentioned cabs together at 2ohms? Im just a bit hesitant to try it! [/quote] It should be okay, but if the 4x10 is already farting at low volume something isn't right. Try the Trace at low volume and see if the same thing happens.
  18. Yum yum. I had the same awesome setup and it's one of the few rigs I regret selling. The tones you can get from this are just lovely.
  19. At 2ohms (you'll be at 2.66) the M9 puts out 900 watts, so your cabs should ideally be rated to handle 600 watts (4 ohm) and 300 watts (8 ohm respectively). EDIT: Your reply to Liam makes my post redundant
  20. Hi guys, anyone have a Hisphot HB6 1/2" Ultralite tuiner I can borrow, so I can check its fit on my bass? It doesn't matter if it's a Clover, Lollypop or Y key. Cheers Gareth
  21. Good price for an excellent bit of kit.
  22. I want soft leather, and I mean [i]soft[/i]... I want it at least 3.5" wide.... I want it to "grip" my shoulder and not slide around... I don't want to spend more than £50.... Recommend me happy, BC!
  23. Even his middle name was cool......
