Not yer usual !!

Hi Tom c ,

 I've edited out any  "no longer available " , so everything left in the june3 2023 ad still available, see 1st page.

Loads of other amps I've not even listed yet, Likely take me years to sell them all !

Trouble is, I keep getting " Hoarders Lament ".

It's like G.A.S, but I've bought them already !

Hiya,

Try 

Demeter Windings, Chelmsford CM2 9TE 

UK Company, They made me a new transformer for my Trace Elliot V6

Good Luck,

Mike.

Any pics of the Trace self powered cab that was mentioned in the other thread ?

Found some, similar cab in John Entwhistles book, page 13, but mine has metal grill. ( and no pre amp ).to be clear, cab for sale does NOT have a preamp installed.

Power amp at bottom is included. These are old pics, for info only.

Hi Rob,

I did contact Westside, but received a curt reply that Mesa service is now down to Gibson !

Not entirely unreasonable, I suppose, as there have been big changes at MESA, who have been very helpful.

However, as you know, I'm a semi retired engineer, metalwork ( bent facia panel ) no problem for me, and I'm making a jig

so that the replacement pot is accurately located on the pcb . Looks like the master volume pot is 100k ohms , log , taper a bit harder

to identify, but 'bout 25 % . Just gotta find the correct 16mm pot , and I'll hopefully be sorted .

Will get my tech to fit pot , I'm fine with the old leaded solder on my old valve amps , D-800 probably uses lead free !

Using my ( over 40 years old ) A.M.P. BH-420 in the meanwhile. Lovin' it !

Best Wishes, 

Mike.

I've been using this again, lately. Lovin' it !

Just to confirm,

It is 240v , built for the UK market ( but I've never seen another one , over here )

Unbelievable !

What can I say ? "above and beyond the call of duty " comes to mind.

Thank you so much for your positive reply . It's a great relief to know that there are repair possibilities for my Mesa D-800, despite

living in the UK.

I did, in fact, knock my amp off the speaker the previous week , in its carry bag, but thought no more of it !

Again, Thank you,

I will message you, as suggested.

Best Wishes, and Seasons Greetings,

Mike

Can anyone shed light (sorry ) on my Mesa d-800 limit light being permanently on ?

Amps been fine , 'till suddenly, when I switched on last week , no instrument attached, the limit light came on, amp hums, and controls seem all over the place !

what to do ?

Compressor donated to Basschat Raffle.

Grand Prix now gone.

Hiya,

Yes, Still here !

can get pics,

Best Wishes,

Mike

Can't thank Dave enough ! Despite living at the other end of the universe (OK , UK, )  he happily agreed to to drive the odd 240 miles or so, and meet me at a Sheffield service Station to collect his

Acoustic Control corp , and Ampeg cabinets. On the way down, He also collected a couple of 60's Vox AC30 stands for me , in Sunderland. Despite both our drives being in the 4 to 5 hour time scale,

We arrived within 10 mins of one another. Then the fun started . First  cab wouldn't go in the car. To my amazement, Dave started pulling bits off his car, and finally, with a big push , it popped in !

Gotta hand it to him, he's not easily deterred . Good thing, could have given us a big problem. Everything else went in,  Just,    then quick chat, and we were off. Shame we didn't have more time, but Dave had to be back, and I had to go to Birmingham on the way home , and escape before the rush hour . All in all, Dave's organisational skills made everything possible, and , just like the last time I met him , a pleasure, too.

Thanks Dave !

OMG! Not sure my credit card can handle this just before Christmas?

BUT, When will you ever see another one !

We can all learn, and benefit, from his enthusiasm for the bass !

Penny worth of Tar comes to mind !

Port Tubes cut from Screwfix piping cost Numpence  !

Hi Colin,

Will PM you.

Mike

" Does anyone know if there will be any LFsys cabs there please? I like to compare them with the barefaced ones if poss. Thank you. Jeff "

 Rumour has it that LFsys will be in attendance.

Some Books/vids I could donate, if suitable. I'll bring them with me, you can choose on the day.

Mike.

I'll pop mine in the car, if I have room.

Would you have room for a KK Baby Bass, traditional model , I have a stand.

plus bunch of 4 string and 5 string necks, Schaller bridges, coupla bodies, other odd bits,

and my optimistically bought, but mainly unread, Tutorial books ! Most with their CD's intact.

My Wife will be grateful !

Not really qualified to answer that, haven't used a 4 x 10 for Donkeys years. My guess is, would largely depend on the quality of the drivers fitted to the cabs .

Best drum sound we got playing outdoors was when we used a pair of Acoustic 301 replica's ( think Jaco ) to boost the PA sound. Those Cerwin Vega 18" speakers

are just something else !

Ha,

Well spotted !

Proper Vox stand under my bass cab, couple of spacers, as the cab is a smidge wider. The stands under the ac30/15's are repurposed old school desks, tops removed, and turned around.

 Stack easy in the car, too !
