  1. [quote name='blazer3' post='671766' date='Dec 2 2009, 12:47 AM']i suggest all you bass snobs really get a life as your giving all genuine bass players a bad name.[/quote] Every considered a course in salesmanship? A price would help your cause no end.
  2. I'd be a bit sceptical about anyone talking about 'premature ware'.
  3. [quote name='stevie' post='671204' date='Dec 1 2009, 03:46 PM']Pm'd[/quote] Bum - it looks like I need the 1/2" ones after all.
  4. [quote name='Jamesemt' post='671026' date='Dec 1 2009, 01:24 PM']Still for sale and looking for £40[/quote] Pm'd
  5. Sounds like the Hofner to me. You can only really tell on the first few notes. Elsewhere, the bass is doubled with guitar. I could be wrong, of course.
  6. [quote name='jonthebass' post='666228' date='Nov 26 2009, 01:56 PM']+1 to CTS pots. Also I'd recommend a Switchcraft jack socket and a Sprague Orange Drop capacitor to round it off nicely! Have a ganders [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=std_pbass"]HERE[/url] for a standard P bass wiring diagram with component values, etc.[/quote] Just goes to show what creatures of habit we bass players are Any good quality pots, jack sockets or caps will do just fine. Sprague Orange Drop indeed!
  7. The simple answer is yes.
  8. On hold for the King.
  9. [quote name='King Tut' post='655622' date='Nov 16 2009, 01:32 AM']Are you willing to post?[/quote] Sure. I can send by carrier for a tenner or post at cost.
  10. Now that I have my pre-amp/power amp combo and rack (thanks Beedster!), my faithful Trace Elliot AH-200 is up for sale. This is the Mk VI which, I am given to believe, is the preferred version of these amps. I've taken this description from the Harmony reviews website, where you will find lots of very positive reviews about this amp: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Trace+Elliot/AH200+Series+6+Head/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ies+6+Head/10/1[/url] “- 200W but seems more like 500W - Can be racked - Two speaker outs with speaker protection fuse - Switchable 12-band graphic that is extremely flexible and goes down to 30Hz making it suitable for use with low B strung 5-string basses. - Mid pre-shape switchable EQ preset which really makes the sound really rock - suits my Rickenbacker so well I don't need to use the EQ. - 2-channel (active & passive) but not switchable and only a single gain for both channels. - Has 1 effects loop and line level input/outputs for slaving (pre amp out & power amp in) - Built in DI which can be switched between pre and post EQ - this is not some half arsed DI connection like a lot of amps have - this beats my tube (valve) DB DI box hands down.” The great thing about this head is the weight! It’s about 9kg, and very easy to carry - [i]*much*[/i] lighter than the 300W version even though it is nearly as powerful. It’s convection cooled via a massive aluminium heatsink on the back – so no fans to go wrong. The foot switch is included as are the ears for rack mounting. It’s in good condition apart from a slight bend in the corner of the heat sink on the rear, which does not affect the operation of the amp in any way. All knobs and buttons are present and correct and working well. I’ll throw in the Trace fitted shoulder bag, which has, a dickey zip, and a matching carrying case, which has a small bash in it but works fine otherwise. The folding stuff is preferred, but I could also be interested in some lightweight tuners (1/2") or an OPL bass.
  11. [quote name='BassKS' post='653600' date='Nov 13 2009, 01:56 PM']Any upgrade on the pre? or is it just stock...Thanks[/quote] There's nothing to upgrade on the preamp IMO - it's 3-band and totally transparent with an active/passive switch.
  12. Or something like this:
  13. [quote name='Rasta' post='652441' date='Nov 12 2009, 11:26 AM']Too expensive?[/quote] No, that's a good price.
  14. In theory, that's a good match. You will also be able to connect a second 8-ohm cab and get more power should you wish to do so.
  15. [quote name='Nostromo' post='650182' date='Nov 9 2009, 10:23 PM']Now i guess I'll have to research what the vintage cab design should be that these speakers ought to be fitted in ! Ah well . . . . . Anyone got any ideas ?[/quote] A used Fender Bassman cab would be nice. Or build your own. The Fender grill cloth is available on eBay. I know you can use the K140 in cabinets as small as 70-litres. Here's one example: [url="http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Bass-Rig.html"]http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Bass-Rig.html[/url]. You'll have to email the guy for dimensions, as they are not clear from the drawings.
  16. Now on hold for a local Basschatter.
  17. Price drop to £22. These are £55 on the web. Used ones on eBay fetch over £30. This is one of the finest soundcards you can buy. Why don't you get rid of that cruddy soundcard you are using and give yourself an early Christmas present? You know you want to.....
  18. [quote name='paganskins' post='650426' date='Nov 10 2009, 10:09 AM']Also the wife's not too happy, apparently the house is getting like a marketplace with all this gear coming and going.[/quote] This is the price of entry to this forum.
  19. They were bass guitar drivers, although I believe they worked with guitar too. If they sound anything like the later K140, to which they are closely related, I'm sure you'll like them. However, because of their vintage, power handling is a bit limited. I think they were (perhaps rather conservatively) rated at 75W rms. Give 'em a try. You too can build an original Sunn 2 x 15"! Some interesting info here: [url="http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=2555.0"]http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=2555.0[/url]
  20. [quote name='karlthebassist' post='649627' date='Nov 9 2009, 12:50 PM']Yeah I know. The fourth is being used in a little 1x10 cab I made. Why? Would you be interested in all four?[/quote] I'm afraid not, Karl, but you'd be more likely to sell them in pairs. At least people now know that they could possibly negotiate for four.
  21. This is a brand new OEM version of this fantastic PCI soundcard. (When I say new, I mean I bought it new, I have never used it, and it looks like new). Complete with cable. The full specs are on the website: [url="http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html"]http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html[/url] 24-bit/96kHz 2 x 2 full-duplex audio performance gold-plated RCA jacks S/PDIF digital I/O with PCM and AC-3/DTS passthrough 1 x 1 MIDI I/O [i]How does it sound? In a word, stunning. This has to be one of the best sounding cards we’ve had in for review…”[/i] - Computer Music. £25 to Basschatters, which is less than half the best price I could find on the web. I reckon £3 will cover 1st class post and insurance.
  22. I used to have one of these. Well, two actually. They are very high quality. If you can't hear yourself on stage with one of these, you need your ears examined.
  23. [quote name='neepheid' post='648244' date='Nov 7 2009, 05:37 PM']Hi there I'm giving up my build projects.[/quote] Don't say - you've finally found a girlfriend!
  24. [quote name='mep' post='645250' date='Nov 4 2009, 01:58 PM']I have had my Trace Series 6 AH200 GP12 Head for years now. I usually use the 12 band graphic to get my sound, but have recently gone to the mid pre-shape which sounds the dogs dangly bits with my 2 band MM stingray 4. So, do you use the mid pre-shape or graphic? If the graphic (7 or 12 band) then what eq settings.[/quote] The pre-shape is too much for me: it gives me too much bass and too much top. I just set a slight smile on the graphic centred at 600 Hz (or thereabouts), which gives me something similar but not quite as extreme. It all depends on your speakers and your bass though - and the sound you're looking for.
