    £150 is an outrageous price. Its worth so much more than that. I sold an ever so slightly newer one of these a couple of years ago for £360
  2. Delberthot
    Yes but you're the wrong 'purpleblob' Had you been 'Thepurpleblob' you'd be in Glasgow and I would be coming through to collect it.

    So for my next question - does anyone have a simple, easy to read diagram so that I can build myself such a box? I was thinking about a box with 6" of cable coming out of it terminating in a speakon plug to connect to the amp with 2 speakon sockets at the other end I have seen them but they're expensive and I want cheap.
  4. Delberthot
    As far as I know, they are both inputs. One is Speakon and the other is 1/4" jack. Every speaker I've ever used has been marked 'Input' and 'Link' if it has the link capability so are these different?

    Shouldn't it be a bit darker? Fender have finally given up even trying cos they know you're going to buy it anyway. Coming soon 'bile orange' and 'piss yellow'
  7. Delberthot
    I knew it was one or the other
  8. Delberthot
    I think I've found the answer already - a series lead which will give me 320w @ 8 ohms total Alternatively, I may look into getting a power amp to power the other cab. We'll see
  9. Delberthot
    Alternatively £18 delivered for the Rick strings and £13 for the D'addarios
  10. Delberthot
    OK guys and gals. I know that this has been asked before but I'll be damned if I can find the thread about it. Something like two 4 ohm speakers run in parallel will give a total load of 8ohms I think. How would I then go about connecting 2 4ohm cabs to my amp so that the total load is 8ohms - special lead, box of tricks, work of the devil?
  11. Delberthot
    That's an amazing price for a very loud and capable cab - if it had been 8ohm I would've had it myself
  12. Delberthot
    Right, nae messin about. Rickenbacker strings on Stringsdirect website for a [u][b]4 string[/b][/u] set are £39 delivered; D'addario EXL170s are £19 delivered for a [u][b]4 string set[/b][/u] so in total you'd be £58 for both sets of strings I'll sell both sets together for £27 delivered to UK mainland. That way you get 2 sets of 4 string bass strings and you can do what you want with the 12 extra octave strings.

    [quote name='Lo.' post='1279162' date='Jun 22 2011, 10:34 PM'][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dRWnJIzgc4&lc=SlXxewHdwmJvwm0-qacFnmZkmaLGNWJQ0x2OJOXjmKY&feature=inbox"]Cheetah ABG[/url] I recommendz 'em. I'd ask them for an endorsement but it would cost me more in phone calls than buying another. £50, new. A pain in the ass to tape the neck up to finish the frets, but worth it. The preamp is (obviously) cheap, so I smooth it out with the Phil Jones Bass Buddy preamp and happy days ensue. Hope it doesn't fall apart when I put heavier gauge flats on it - the fender tapewounds are OK but the rotosound tapewounds or normal flats would be better for me I guess.[/quote] So you had to finish the frets, use a £240 box of tricks to get a decent sound out of it and you hope it doesn't fall apart. Not trying to have a go but that doesn't sound very good

    Last bump. If this hasn't sold by tomorrow lunchtime then I'm withdrawing it to do the work on it myself then keeping it. And I may even do the 5 string mod on it myself
  15. Delberthot
    Things sure are moving fast on here. I can have this rewired today and collected tomorrow for delivery on Friday. I've also had an idea that this could be a possible 4 to 5 string conversion for people who like close string spacing - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wilkinson-4R-Open-Frame-Chrome-Bass-Tuners-WJBL-200-/110705581380?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item19c6911d44"]extra tuner[/url], change the pickup for a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wilkinson-Lic-Bass-Pickup-4-String-MWM4C-Musicman-/110703594366?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item19c672cb7e"]bar magnet one[/url] and a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-KAHLER-USA-Hybrid-7450-5-String-Bass-Bridge-CHROME-/290557785607?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item43a697f607"]Kahler bridge[/url]. doable for about an extra £75 I may even have a spare Graphtech nut, same as I used on my Rick 4 to 5 conversion

    [quote name='lanark' post='1277946' date='Jun 21 2011, 11:42 PM']I thought it was Bill Wyman.[/quote] The seventh Beatle? Now that would be a story Actually Y-fronts are named after Bill Wyman.
  17. Delberthot
    William Shears Campbell is the seventh Beatle

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1277587' date='Jun 21 2011, 07:48 PM']yes ...and I invented shoes[/quote] really? I invented the banana Interesting story actually.
  19. Delberthot
    Strings still available bump
  20. Delberthot
    So what does a choke actually do? In the old days it was used until the engine heated up enough for it to be put back in
  21. Delberthot
    The E of the serial number looks a bit wonky compared to the other numbers but then it is a Fender so its entirely possible The guy said that he had the board laquered And dates to 1988-90 according to [url="http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender.html"]this[/url]
  22. Delberthot
    I'm going to rewire this on Thursday with the new pots and cap. I've not decided on which wiring to use so I'll wait until then. If you're interested in this then I can rewire it and ship it with the neck off to keep the postage down for the same £110 delivered to mainland UK or you can collect it for £100. You have until then, otherwise I might just keep it
  23. Delberthot
    I've never tried the precision one but I think Wilkinson pickups are very good. I had one in my thunderbird and there's one in the Vintage Stingray copy I'm selling
  24. Delberthot
    Thankfully there are less and less bad basses being made these days compared to the olden days. I would recommend [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=142028"]this[/url] obviously cos its mine and I'm selling it or an Epiphone, although the shapes aren't for everyone
  25. Delberthot
    These basses are fantastic and exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately I don't have a shortscale bass
