Not at all. Glad you got it in the end after all the fun in the sale!

Might well pop in for my first (gasp!) trip there, am playing at the Water Rats tomorrow so I'm in the right sort of place. London, that is.

I was gonna suggest this one. How about the Marlboro McLarens from the 80s?

A good first rig to have methinks

Less than two hours to go. The reserve is probably too high so if it gets to £200 i'll let it go and someone is going to get a bloody bargain!

Its me who gets the DHA, someome gets my trace and ste gets someone elses cabs In all the deal is covering Scotland, England and Wales quite an effort methinks [/quote]
Blimey you kept that Trace head for the same length of time I appear to be keeping her replacement!! Are you still requiring the 2x10?

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='120598' date='Jan 15 2008, 08:59 AM']they've done that to me. they give you a load of cobblers about how it contravenes their listing policy, but there's actually nothing in their listing policy to that effect. I wrote to them and told them and they just fob you off until you put together a strong argument and then they ignore you. I was then sent a "how did we handle your communication" survey, which i filled in and ticked the last box that said, do you need to be contacted - of course nobody actually got back to me. I think i was just up for a bit of a row. They do credit your listing fee though.

Sorry, back on topic. Good luck with the next auction[/quote]
Cheers John, nice to know I get a credited listing fee if nothing else. Pain is that it was about to start taking off and I had 19 people watching it!! Ah well, we live and learn...

Indeed it was. No idea if they'll make me pay but I've told them I'm not going to! I've seen countless other auctions with almost identical wording to mine so I was surprised mine got taken down. Ho hum. How's tricks?

[quote name='TheRinser' post='119299' date='Jan 12 2008, 09:02 PM']i've got a semi...[/quote]
Only a semi?

Robbie, that looks amazing. I want one!

[quote name='Toasted' post='119166' date='Jan 12 2008, 03:57 PM']It's just a case of being in the right place at the right time mert. There's some amazing bargains to be had by looking in the right places:

Deep Impact £60, Unibass x 2 £50/each, Bass Whammy: £100, Mutron w/lindenberg mods £120, Animato Distortion: £80, I've bought about 5 Fulltone bassdrives for not more than £75.[/quote]
Can I hang out with you for a while?

[quote name='Toasted' post='118936' date='Jan 12 2008, 12:31 AM']I got mine for £60. I win at buying pedals.[/quote]
Bloody hell, so you got a Unibass and a Deep Impact for less than half what some people pay for the Deep Impact alone? Kudos to you Joe!!

Well the first ebay auction got pulled for no bloody good reason and less than a day to go, a**holes. It's up there again now....

I wish my band(s) would do some Leppard!

Tiime of My Life and some Scissor Sisters song for the cheesy band, fun fun!

Keep meaning to sit down and do some Maiden for a laugh but never get round to it.

[quote name='Moo' post='118186' date='Jan 10 2008, 09:44 PM']They are popular for Top End HiFi kit and are used in the classic Musical Fidelity A1 amp. This is low powered, sounds lovely, and you could fry eggs on top of it if you wanted to![/quote]
I have that amp, it is gorgeous.

The two main solid state power amp types are Bi-Polar and MOSFET. There's no "good2 or "bad" other than component selection and design, they're both good at their own thing. Higher power amps are almost always MOSFET I believe, earlier Trace stuff was BiPolar but I think they changed to MOSFET in the 90s as power levels increased. I think you'll find most solid state power amps are MOSFET thesedays.

As for MOSFET sounds or behaving like valves, well.... In preamps that is kinda the case, but I think you'll find these are BiFET rather than MOSFET. Different sort of Field Effect Transistor, y'see

Bored?

Good

Might be a good place for tips on making my own

Sorry, highly unhelpful comment from me.! I could ask if she wants to make you some but I suspect you'll find them cheaper elsewhere..

[quote name='P-T-P' post='117925' date='Jan 10 2008, 03:58 PM']And Nik is a top bloke to deal with too.[/quote]
+1!

But NIk, you're not fooling me. No trade offers from me re. the Groove!!

I got my sister to make mine coz she's good at that sort of thing. She wasn't happy until they were all scuffed up after a year on the road

For the complete novice, far less groovesome is the Coronation Street theme. Was watching it yesterday and noticed the main tune is pulling and pushing all over the shop.

Disclaimer - I don't normally watch that pap (my humble opinion) but it was on at my girlfriend's house!

No idea about that I'm afraid, but certainly when we send stuff back to our factories in China we do special invoices saying the goods are rejected and not commercial. Probably no help at all I'll have a chat with our accounts lot to see if they have any idea what the PO is on about
