[quote name='warwickhunt' post='8456' date='May 29 2007, 06:52 AM']If you're prepared to spend a bit more than the Eden price, I'd also recommend the Tech Soundsystems 6x10 capable of doing exactly what the Bergantino can do.[/quote] I like the sound of that but 3ohm or 6ohm according to the website spec? That's rather unusual, I'd have thought

Normally booking a couple of weeks ahead if you are lucky and it might take a couple of weeks for them to get the work done. cheers S

I have a 4PRO that was converted by Mike at Panic (very handy as I live very near him). I agree that he does not recommend using a step down transformer for a number of reasons - if you want the reasons then give him a bell, but I trust his advice. The transformer you have in the 6PRO *should* be multitap, which means you don't need a new transformer, but if it's anything like my 4PRO, then there is some changes needed to the internal circuit breaker also. Gonna cost you about £120 or so, but better and safer than carrying around a great weight of a transformer. Bear in mind they are extremely busy so don't expect a quick turn around unless you can deliver and collect yourself. Ask Toasted..;-)

I have bought loads of stuff from Basspartsresource.com and they always send them USPS and I have never been charged any duty at all (touch wood). They mark their shipments 'guitar parts for repair', if that makes any difference??

My Precision fitted with Seymour Duncan QPs has a very similar output to my Lakland with a J retro. I can adjust the gain of the J retro if I want to but it suits me as it is.

A friend of mine uses an RC20XL and it's a nice feature. I still have the original RC20 which is pretty good but my ear/foot co-ordination is sadly lacking! Cheers, Alun[/quote] I've not found that feature on mine so I'd say not, though I'd love to be proved wrong.

Penguins rule!

The plastic document sleeve was my idea and works really well. You can cut it very cleanly and it doesn't compress. [quote]If the shim is placed at the bridge end of the neck pocket this will raise the strings slighty at the bridge. If the shim is placed at the neck end of the pocket it will lower the strings slightly.[/quote] Just to add - a shim in the bridge end will mean you will have to raise the bridge to achieve the same string height as you currently have (thus giving more scope for lowering if required).

You can get them from [url="http://www.basspartsresource.com/bridge_leoquanbadass3.htm"]here[/url] Current exchange rates mean it'll cost you £48.28 including shipping A BadAss III will fit any three screw Fender model from 94 onwards (Jazz, Deluxe, Precision etc) including those with strung through bodies although the BadAss allows for standard stringing too.

Forerunner to the Highway 1?

The catalogues themselves are pretty rare that advertisements from magazines even from as recent as the 80s sell on ebay pretty well..

[quote name='casapete' post='6313' date='May 25 2007, 08:50 AM']To throw in my sixpen'orth - Just look around on big stages,TV shows,DVD's etc, and see what keeps coming up time and time again- the mighty Ampeg SVT rig. This 300 watt all valve amp coupled with the 8x10 speaker cab is still THE industry standard, some nearly 40 years after its introduction in the late sixties. This is surely the definitive set-up.[/quote] Definitive in terms of image more than sound I reckon. A lot of these are rented mate, and chosen for the image rather than the sound. I've known one big festival to use the same bass rig for four bands - wheeled off at the end of each set only to be wheeled back on again for the next band.

Cool! Can I be picky and suggest it is located under the effects forum, rather than at the end of the section? That way all the 'gear' type forums are together before you move on to technical forums...? Cheers Steve

For my sins I work in insurance. I would be tempted to identify whether the company registered to supply insurance is registered with the FSA. If they are then I would contact the Financial Services Ombudsman reporting the miss-selling. There are rules and regs around demands and needs. However, this could be an internal insurance scheme (effectively a compensation arrangement) which may not be covered. When sending basses, If I'm not sending them in a hard case them I always remove the neck and sometimes send that separately.

Is that a Bob Glaub, Peter? It's beatiful. May I ask how you acquired it? Steve

[quote name='OldGit' post='6914' date='May 25 2007, 10:46 PM']Oh yeah OBBM did me a top class one. The screwdown mini jack is costly but it's worth it. The supplied cable is too long anyway..[/quote] Ah - Just after I made my post I thought about OBBM so I have PMed him. Cheers!

I've got the Sennheiser 172 also (not the G2 but the older model). It's exceptional in my opinion, apart from the rubbish instrument lead that is supplied with it.

Panic Music will fix it but they're always pretty stacked with work so lead time may be an issue www.panicmusic.co.uk

[quote name='dlloyd' post='5004' date='May 23 2007, 10:19 AM']That all seems logical. Thanks [/quote] All I can think of initially is that the tuners and the holes won't be the same, but if your replacement neck comes with tuners then this isn't an issue.

[quote name='rodl2005' post='3407' date='May 21 2007, 09:46 AM']the 4PRO isn't THAT loud-compared to some other 'bridged 1200w[/quote] Did you bridge it correctly? it'sa very common mistake made with the 4PRO. If you find yourself needing more headroom with the 4PRO then it's probably time to be going through the PA in any case.

..and also basspartsresource.com. It's in the States but delivery is pretty rapid.

Mine has no noticeable delay switching from record to playback - the Jamman is superb and you can record patches on your computer and transfer them back to the pedal. It's a hunking great piece of metal too so if the boss is more solid then it must be hewn from solid granite! ;-)

DR Sunbeams - from the States off ebay.

I would also suggest trying your local guitar shop also. Many of them are becoming internet savvy and know that they have to compete on price and you are in a position to negotiate face to face as well as trying out the instrument. Just don't take the piss and you could be surprised. I find my local shop very accommodating.

I agree with Steve - Apply some matching (car) paint with a toothpick or a matchstick and then let it dry thoroughly. This could be up to a couple of days, then superglue works, but again, wait until it's fully hardened.
