    Bump for the EH valves.

    If you think it's worth keeping and a prime candidate for a wiring upgrade anyway, I'd just pop it open and diagnose the issue with the J pickup: if it's the pickup itself send it back, but if it's the wiring, keep and upgrade!

    Always a pleasure to deal with Grahame. Great communication and fast payment.

    Are these still available? Email sent but no reply

    Awesome cabs these. They really kick out a lot of volume for the size and cut through well.

    [quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1326511941' post='1498346'] Wot... like [i]no WAL[/i]....? That Precison's gorgeous, by the way. [/quote] Yes, no Wals since 2009 for me, which has been a strange feeling. That said, Paul and I are working on a new bass for me, which I'll be going for in a couple of years when the wood I've earmarked is ready. Thanks for the comment on the P bass too. I assume you mean the fretless?

    [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1326469718' post='1497695'] fair enough. [/quote] I'll keep an eye on it though, as I am good mates with the drummer.

    [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1326468161' post='1497662'] have you played it? [/quote] No, in fact I've never even met him!

    [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1319559352' post='1415793'] I wonder if anyone on here bought this? I'm not usually a big fan of Buck Eye but this is gorgeous [attachment=91954:SKBBEtop.jpg] [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/SKB3005_Buckeye.html"]http://www.bassdirec...05_Buckeye.html[/url] [/quote] I know who has this bass now as he's in the band of a drummer I used to gig with. I don't think he's on BC.

    [quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1326444774' post='1497204'] Im after tryin to clear up a bit of early breakup on my SC valve amp, i assume stickin these in would help but would i loose overall headroom? [/quote] Well, I'm no expert and I am sure someone will correct me if I talk a load of tosh, but with a 12AY& the amp won't head into distortion as soon, so while you may not get more headroom as such, you should be able to play more cleanly at louder levels.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1326388714' post='1496620'] Contact 'The Bass Doctor' he has some lovely tort guards (look vintage colour not like the horrible salami coloured ones). He has all the appropriate templates so no need to worry about fit! [/quote] Ah yes, I forgot about Howard! Have fired off a PM to him. Cheers!

    The original scracthplate on my 1970 fretless P is shriking quite badly. I had to take it off last night to change the settings on the P retro installed in the bass and it was a real b*gger getting it over the pickups, plus the mounting screws are all getting pulled out of line. My inclination is to get a new one and just store the original in such a way that it minimises shrinkage. Any suggestions on that? Will a standard Fender replacement fit, or should I get one custom made so it can be aged to match the condition of the bass? Any advice much appreciated! Cheers Gareth

    Decided to go back to all passive for my 1970 P bass, so this is up for sale. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRKwHe5ZkZc"]www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRKwHe5ZkZc[/url] In perfect working order, the knobs are chrome finish, and I have both the standard and vintage style knobs available. Standard knobs Vintage knobs These are £200 new and seem to go for £125 used on BC, but as this sale has two sets of knobs I'm going to add a fiver and say £130 posted Recorded Delivery. Cheers Gareth

    I have two of each of these valves, all tested but never used. The 12AY7 is 45% gain compared to the 100% gain of a 12AX7. Useful if you want to tame a lively preamp! 2 x Electro Harmonix - £13.50 each new, so I'll take £11 each, or both for £20 2 x JAN GE new old stock, US made for military use, grey anode, disc getter, original box - cost me £33 each, I'll sell them for £30 each or both for £58. Please note that prices do NOT include postage. Pick up also available from Central London or NE Hampshire. Cheers Gareth

    I sold Rainer my BMT5 a few years back. He's a great guy to deal with, and these are [i][size=5]superb[/size][/i] basses! Rainer, anything in my signature you fancy?

    [quote name='BigBassBob' timestamp='1326247035' post='1494540'] Even though the website states the amp has an ECC82 (12AU7) and ECC83 (12AX7) the amp actually has a pair of Shuguang 12AX7Bs. [/quote] I hust checked with Ashdown. The ECC83 (12AX7) goes behind the input sockets and the ECC82 (12AU7) goes behind the output panel.
