    What exactly does this mean?

    Paddy stopped cutting the hedge as the big car drew up beside him and an English visitor enquired: "Could you tell me the way to Balbriggan, please?" Paddy wiped his brow. "Certainly, sor. If you take the first road to the left.... no still that wouldn't do..... drive on for about four miles then turn left at the crossroads...... no that wouldn't do either." Paddy scratched his head thoughtfully. "You know, sor, if I was going to Balbriggan I wouldn't start from here at all."

    Alternatively, you could also have a word with Ashdown. If they did a tweetered version of the cab they will no doubt be happy to sell you a tweeter and x-over for you to fit yourself. That way, it would still look like an original Ashdown cab. Unlike most, Ashdown spares prices are quite reasonable.

    Sorry, I haven't dealt with piezos for years, although I'm aware that there are quite big differences in the brands. The Fitzmaurice cab builders use them a lot and will no doubt be able to advise you. Dave Perry could be your man.

    It's worth pointing out that this cab has a tweeter in it. I agree, that is a crazy price - less than half its true value IMO.

    As icastle says, adding a single piezo is by far the easiest way to go - and shouldn't cost you more than a fiver. It's not going to be a perfect solution because it probably won't be quite loud enough, but it will give you that bit of tizz you are after. Just stick one on the top of your cab to see what you think. You'll need to try it wired in phase and out of phase to see which is louder. Adding a proper tweeter is a lot more complicated, easier to get wrong, and costs more.

    On second thoughts, I'd be prepared to take a guitar practice amp in part-exchange. My daughter is learning the guitar.

    Excellent video review. The amp sounds really nice.

    You're right. Whether you wire them in series or parallel, the power handling doubles. Twice the wattage.

    I'd make you very welcome, but shipping would make a lot more sense.
  13. stevie
    Yes. I can pack very securely and ship anywhere abroad with pleasure. The approximate cost of shipping to New Zealand by air (5 days) would be £70 to £80 insured. It's a long way..... I'll include a good quality Speakon lead and a mains lead if you want one (UK plug though).

    [quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1332760964' post='1592587'] I bought this recently (cost me £9.95), and covers subjects such as turnarounds, hits & stops, shuffles, 12/8 Blues etc. It also has transcripts of the bass parts from classics like Key to the Highway, Thrill is Gone, I'm Tore Down, Pride & Joy, and many others. [/quote] I went for an audition with a blues band and bought the Ed Friedland book. Worked for me as a very quick primer. I second the recommendation.

    Interesting. It could be a QC problem I suppose. Anyone else?

    I've compared the TC Electronics Classic 450 (which I just happen to be selling in the For Sale section ) with the Ashdown MiBass. The TC is very quiet. You really can't tell that the fan is on. The MIBass is noisy. Even if you are sensitive to fan noise - as I am - you will be fine with the TC.

    One of the [b]most popular lightweight heads[/b] around, this is the scaled-down version of the Rebelhead 450 - but with that amp's most important features, including a [b]superb 3-band compressor[/b] that would cost at least £100 if it were packed in a separate box. This one is [b]in immaculate condition[/b], with just two very small marks on the paintwork that you cannot normally see unless you examine the amp from very close quarters indeed. Otherwise, it's as near to a new one you are likely to find. Here is Lozz's quick review: [url="http://basschat.co.u...-450-amp-head/."]http://basschat.co.u...-450-amp-head/.[/url] There is plenty of info on this forum and on the web about this amplifier. £549 seems to be the going discount price for these: [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-amp-heads/pid16869/cid685/tc-electronic-classic-450-bass-head.asp"]http://www.andertons...0-bass-head.asp[/url] [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/tc-electronic-classic-450-head/31510"]http://www.gak.co.uk...-450-head/31510[/url] My [b]price of £320[/b] is the [b]lowest you are likely to see[/b] on here: on eBay they fetch considerably more - if you can find one. Isn't it time you went lightweight and sold that heavy amp? Local pickup from Dorchester (with a cup of coffee and demo) preferred, but shipping and insurance shouldn't cost any more than £12. You know what they look like, but I'll post a photo shortly. Sorry, no trades - there's nothing I need.

    It's a straightforward question that deserves a straightforward answer, which is: +6dB @ 50Hz; –12dB @ 400Hz; +6dB @ 5kHz. From the Trace Elliot catalogue here: [url="http://www.traceelliot.com/catalog/catalog.pdf."]http://www.traceelli...og/catalog.pdf.[/url] Obviously not a trade secret then.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1331030659' post='1566437'] Lie down in a dark room, the feeling will pass. [/quote] This is the best advice on this thread IMO.

    You shouldn't have to rewire your tens at all. The mistake some people make is just disconnecting the tweeter. You need to disconnect the tweeter *and* any crossover components, because if there is a parallel component in the crossover (across the tweeter), disconnecting the tweeter itself will result in a virtual short circuit. You need to make sure the tweeter volume control is out of circuit, for example, because that contains a parallel component. Follow the wiring to the tweeter back as close to the input as possible and disconnect there. You will be able to reconnect at any time.
  25. stevie
    It can be done. The trick is to make quite sure the tweeter is completely out of circuit and that there is nothing left connected *across* the output to the tweeter after you have disconnected it - like a resistor or an inductor., for example.
