That's cool. It's difficult to try out new gear when you live quite far away from a decent music shop.... Youtube misled me and made me believe that a Line 6 HD750 was good..... I sent it back and bought a Markbass.

Thanks for that info, Phil.

I'm very green to this, but would like to learn as I find it all very interesting.

I would like to enhance the Dominator as much as possible really without ruining it, full of beef, with a hint of chardonnay.

I've been putting together a shopping list on tubeampdoctor.com New matched valves, pots and caps. Anything else you can suggest that I should look in to changing/upgrading?

Thanks for the advice chaps, it all seems good.

I did hook the dominator up to my 8ohm 4x10 cab and it sounded pretty rippin', not to say that this is the right impedance though!...

I'll have a look at the output transformer to see if it can give me a clue, then ring watkins if I don't find anything.

Hey Basschatters,

I wondered if I could pick your brains!?!

I'm in the process of putting a shopping list together to do a bit of a restoration of my old WEM Dominator 45 Bass. It's a 15" combo with 4x el84's and 3x ecc83's.

The old Fane speaker looks and sounds a bit naff and I was going to replace it, it doesn't say whether it's a 8 or 16 ohm speaker and I can't find any solid conformation to say which one it is. I also don't have the means to test the speakers impedance.

Anyone got any idea what I should purchase?

Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

Nice job on this Truckstop.

Keeping the spirit of Basschat going!

Sounds like a great idea.

I could do with one of these!

Count me in please, kind sir!

Someone get Toca 2.... Old fav of mine! bleddy wicked!

I've actually got a really nice tin of Halfords Carbon Fibre paint I'd like to swap for that.....

I'm all over this...

Might put it on my facebook and get people to watch it....

Rules state you have to put a price duder, or fellow basschatters will assume it's free. LOL!

Well that is mighty odd....

I was going to put my DBS7400 up for sale too! These are rare as hens teeth....then two go up for sale!

These heads sound totally stonkin', brilliant bit of kit.

Good luck with your sale mate.

I've had a few of these. Cracking bit of kit!

[quote name='RaNoFuNkY' post='1007592' date='Oct 31 2010, 05:31 PM']BUMP!

I love this bass! By far the nicest looking stingray I have ever seen, and has that classic sound. Chris let me play this almost all evening (I couldn't put it down) - brilliant neck, no issues with a weak G string at all. First class Musicman - wish I could afford it. Top bass mate![/quote]

Thanks for the kind words, Bert!

Nice too meet ya mate.

Chris

Bumperoo for a lovely bass. I really fancy this.... Shame I'm poor.

[quote name='4 Strings' post='1001825' date='Oct 26 2010, 10:22 PM']Sorry, I can't help it, this is such a nice bass, if I had a Jazz 5 you could have it straight away, and I'd be in no doubt who came off best.

Ever thought of a Hipshot to pop it down on occasion? I have one on my Stingray set to C Sharp for a particular song, works really well. Not keen on too much low noting but definitely keen on Stingray sounds![/quote]

It is a cracking bass for sure, I'd rather buy something and keep the ray, but funds don't allow.... It drops down nicely to C and D, but the stuff we are doing in the band at the mo demand constant lows and it would be alot easier to stick another string on it. Got someone coming to have a look at it tomorrow to see if he likes it, don't worry, it's a basschatter!

[quote name='matski' post='999798' date='Oct 25 2010, 10:57 AM']What happened to the Status neck? Do you still have it...??? [/quote]

I knew someone would ask about that badboy! It's long gone I'm afraid.

My personally opinion is that the maple neck is alot brighter and easier to play.... I used to get savage hand ache from it.

Looked wicked though!

If you fancy it.... Keen on a stingray[/quote]

Hello mate, thanks for the offer..... I think I've sorta set my heart on a Jazz or P 5....Then get some Bare Knuckle Pickups in there.... *Snarl Snarl*

Good luck with your trade!

Chris

Oh dear.... That's not the spirit!!

Bump!!

[quote name='RaNoFuNkY' post='986306' date='Oct 12 2010, 09:55 PM']Wish I had something to trade! Free Bump for a fellow Devon-er[/quote]

Thanks dude!

Cool, thanks for filling in the history. It's a small world, Tim is quite a good mate of mine and my band mates. He only lives down the road from me. Will mention your name next time I see him!

Take care mate!

Hey Keir! Yes it is your old one! I've loved and cherished it since I bought it from you.... If I was a bit more flush, I would keep it, as it's crackin' for covers gigs.... We stick in alot of Rage against the machine and the like.

Yeah, I don't really want to let the bass go, just desperate for something with a low B.... I think something like a jazz 5 would tick all of the boxes.

Bumperoo!

Anyone got a Fender Jazz five for a trade??
