    Very nice amps, had one and only sold it to go all valve. Still tempted as a back up! GLWTS

    A Rickenbacker 4005 in jetglo or the 70's P bass Baz Fratelli plays in the Fratellis (think its a 74, black, thumb rest on E string side, walnut cap at headstock)

    [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Had a number of ashdown over the years right from their MAG range up to a DP200 valvce head.

[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Nowt wrong with the tone or reliability for me, just the lack of power/volume[/color][/size][/font]

    Unused. Had to buy a 5string set as no 4 strings in stock. Price includes postage to UK

    Ive always had good luck with Elites Groundwounds. Not Hotwire smooth but certainly not GHS Brite/D'addario Halfround rough

    Thanks for the replies people I don't think its a volume thing to be honest, the SB12 is only 22 watts! I think micing it is the way to go. Re:Barefaced - it is an option I tried with several other heads (orange, ashdown, marshall and ampeg) No denying the weight, it was just too much a sacrifice on tone for me

    [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Ive recently joined a new band who have ‘out of hours’ access to a rehearsal space run by the singers friend.

    [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Bought these after reading about them on Talkbass. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]However, it seems they have changed the formula/supplier as these are basically re-badged D’addario Chromes.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Blues silks just like D’ads, same feel, same look and same lively/more modern sound.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]A bit TOO lively for more as im more into the GHS type thud. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]These are very much ringy with a matching E string to boot.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]These have been fitted on my P bass for literally 5mins.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Uncut (as per instructions on the box) so plenty of windings. 45-105 gauge[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]£20 delivered to your UK address.[/color][/size][/font]

[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]£10 each[/color][/size][/font][/u][/b] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Had a few months use of my P basses so nicely broken in a thumpy.

[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Still very much in the ‘new’ stage of their sound and not quite at their thumpiest so still plenty of breaking in to be done.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Silks in good condition[/color][/size][/font][/s] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Would take a set of GHS Precision Flats in 45-105 in part ex/swap[/color][/size][/font]

    2 x sets of Ken Smith Slick Rounds (half/ground wounds) 1 is brand new unopened and the other set has had around 20mins use on my P bass. Tone is nice a deep as you would expect from a full on flat but there is still plenty of overtones and sustain like a round wound. Both are 106-43 gauge £10 for the used set £20 for the new set Above price includes delivery in UK
  23. Pow_22
    Cool, glad it got sorted and is back to pumping out that lovely valve tone! Did the tech say what the fault was?
