Hi. Here is my new (oldish) Pbass that I bought from gas station guitars. Love the colour and it’s pretty light so that’s good too. 
 

Good points:

- colour is great, looks better in real life than the pictures.
- sounds cracking. Just like a Pbass! - - neck fits my muckle hands better than the Jazz I sold to find this. 
 

Not so good points:

- Had to give it a good clean as it was covered in a fine film of aged dust/grime/dirt

- Input jack was intermittent on first plug in. Have removed the pickguard and cleaned up the jack and pots with contact cleaner. Much better now. Also adjusted the contact of the inout jack. 
- strings are covered in the same grime and have been loaded in to the tuners with only half to one turn, new strings incoming. 
- relief was a tad much so have adjusted that, good to know the truss rod works though. 
- saddles are flippin high so action is way more than I like. I’ll drop those later once I get ten minutes. 
 

all in all, happy with the bass. More care could have been taken with prep before shipping. It’s in ace condition, although they were a pleasure to deal with in terms of money and communication.
 

The photos show that colour has faded a bit with time, as it’s more vibrant under the picknguard. 
 

if anyone knows anything about the pots, body wood and neck stamp please do share. 

Big Wreck. Anything by Big Wreck at the moment😀

I have a 62 reissue made between 1999 and 2002, a P serial number. Chunky neck, classic P bass sound, reverse tuners. Enjoy yours. 

Thanks. I’ll do my best. I’ll do a NBD post when it arrives.

Delivery is half as much again!

Yeah, but still a steal. Great to sit in a rehearsal room somewhere. 

And whoever priced this has made a mistake!!! £129!! https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ashdown-rm-610t-evo-bass-cabinet

Another deal from the email shot. Lightweight cab anyone. Less than half price.

No idea if the original price is realistic. But over £1000 off seems like a good thing for someone. Stingray BFR Kingpin

Will find out how it is v soon. NBD incoming tomorrow I believe. 

That looks gorgeous. What’s the history of the brand? ….. never heard of them before. 

This headstock shape is so much more pleasing on the eye than the usual G&L one. Love the colour too. 

Do all of the Classic Active have narrower neck with at the nut? 

It is a CIJ R-Serial from 2004-2005. It has an Ash body, maple neck and medium/dark rosewood fingerboard. 

Hiya. I’m thinking about buying an early 2000s version of this. Don’t have much info other than I like the colour and it seems in good condition by the pictures. Is there anything in particular to note on these and to look out for. Anyone here have one and can share their experience?

thanks all

Looks like Andertons have it on pre-order for £350: https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/two-notes/two-notes-revolt-bass-analog-amp-sim-pedal

 

But still not cheap

I think that’s ok considering the analogue spec and the digital stuff. The new walrus audio doesn’t do half as much and it about the same.

Ticks a LOT of boxes for sure. Not cheap would be my guess!! 

Looks like 399 USD. So probably the same in GBP!!

It’s got my attention for a one stop recording, rehearsal, gig, in the loop, four cable, etc… option. 
 

I wonder what the uk price will be?

This just popped in to my inbox….liking the spec….

Thanks. I’ll give that a try. 

Hiya. 
 

I’m using Torpedo Wall of Sound in Cubase LE 10. Usually when I’m recording Bass (amp is di in to my Audient interface) I get latency that means I’m struggling to record in time. 
 

would buying an ir loader pedal before my interface help reduce latency and solve all of my worldly problems?

What are your thoughts on this being legit? American Prof 2. Dark Night on Reverb for £715. Says it’s brand new. Even with import duties it’s a great price.

I’m hoping they still carry on it would be a shame because they’re such a great band live. Taylor Hawkins boots will certainly be hard to fill. But I’m sure there’s someone out there capable of doing the job. The who replaced Keith moon I know that it’s never the same when you loose an original band member like that.

I wonder if they’ll do these gigs with a replacement (maybe with someone they know like Rufus Taylor) and then call it quits. I can’t imagine the foos without him. 

Just watched him perform his last ever moment in the spotlight with Somebody to Love a couple of nights before he passed. Can’t quite believe it even more with each passing moment. He seemed vibrant, happy, relaxed and having the time of his life. Make each day the best you can!!

If you didn't try a different amp with the cable and cab then you are still at square one of trouble shooting. Test the amp with a good cable and cab before looking to fix the amp.

Thanks. Had done that already. 
 

Anyhow, I seem to have fixed it now. Took the amp cover off after reading a little more. Unseated the valves and reseated. Seems to be fine now and the issue has gone. 
 

I’ll re contact aged horse and let him know not to waste any time on it. 
 

Good to know a little fiddle can sort issues out. 

Hi everyone. Been ages since I visited our lovely forum. I hope everyone is doing well. 
 

I plugged my Genz Benz Streamliner 600 in at bandcamp on Thursday and it wouldn’t produce any noise. I had plugged into a beringer 810 as it’s the only cab there. No issues with the same cab previously so don’t think that’s an issue. The amp had been working fine at home only a few days previously.  
 

so, what should I be trying first to remedy it? New tubes?
