[quote name='tauzero' post='1251145' date='May 31 2011, 10:06 AM']Ebay are saying that he's in breach of their T&Cs because of trademark infringement. If he's not, then there is no case for them to remove the listing.[/quote] That is not in dispute. The fact remains they can remove whatever they want, whenever they want, from their site. They are not obliged to give a reason. Even if you proved the point in court, that it was not in breach of their rules, they'd still not have to publish your advert on their site.

Purchased a Boss AC-3 from Pliskin. Perfect!

[quote name='ash' post='1233362' date='May 16 2011, 06:12 PM'][b]I'm actually quite pleased that they bothered to get in touch to clarify things, it also shows the extent that the Rickenbacker company goes to protect it's identifiable trademarks. Whether we agree with them or not it shows some determination! It still however seems a little harsh to me that as a private seller I have been penalised by restrictions placed upon my account, especially given the current level of blatant rickenfakery going on these days. The double standards by which ebay continues to operate never ceases to amaze me. Without doubt if my bass had passed Rickenbacker's scrutiny eBay would have happily taken my fees. I do intend to respond.[/b][/quote] I am very impressed that John replied in such detail. That shows some degree of integrity. Yes - we know that he's over-stating the juristiction of US patent laws, but you've got to admire the effort he puts into defending his company's IP. Now, if only he put in as much effort into getting the production line running and designing some new instruments....

[quote name='Finbar' post='1233281' date='May 16 2011, 05:04 PM']Diago do (or did) an adapter for a 9v supply that would internally double it to 18v. So you could keep the same supply, and only use up one output. Something to think about if you could track one down. Diago don't sell direct anymore, but I rang them up and managed to get hold of one that way anyway as a kind of special order. Don't know if other companies make a similar adapter.[/quote] Thanks - but Diago is a switch-mode PSU - it does things differently to the transformer-based PedalPower. I don't think it would work.

I have this pedal on my board. Running it at 18v (as recommended) uses up two of my power outputs from the PedalPower 2. I am thinking of running a dedicated 18v PSU from the auxiliary 240v output of the PedalPower 2. Therefore a wallwart supply is no good. Any recommendations of a good 18v that would work well like this?

[url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/vortex.asp"]http://www.tcelectronic.com/vortex.asp[/url] I tried it the other day in a music shop on a Jazz Bass and a Precision (they had no Rickenbackers) - it sounded really great. Has anyone tried it in a band setting? Does the sound cut through? I often find that the effected sound get lost in the context of a band. Cheers!

I am curious about the labelling though. How do you do it?

They may cost a lot... but you build them up gradually, and when you want to change it's a small incremental change.

Is it just mud that breaks the whole world window?![/quote] Thanks!!!! That's very kind. Another Cardiacs fan, eh?!? We did a version of Whole World Window with sax the other day. Will probably put the video of that one up when the editing's done.
