josh3184 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 from my experience transistors are about £15 each and my head had 10 to replace to depends on what the head has inside and whether you think its worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwoff Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 There is one on craigslist for $550 even if transistors cost 150 quid its still a bargin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Are n't these the same as early Mark Bass design? Spares may be common to both perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFM Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Sold mine a few months ago, yeah basically it's a Markbass TA503. Buy buy buy! <-- Edit: In fact, it's the one in my avatar! Edited March 12, 2010 by RussFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I know a good tech in Maidstone who can do these sort of things.. Don't be in a raging hurry and he'll turn it over in a week or so of getting it, maybe.. PM for his tel number. I wouldn't put it up here with asking him. Or John Riggs might be closer.

Marvin Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry I thought this was about something completely different. Wondered why it was in General Bass Disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepurpleblob Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 *If* that's all that's wrong. If they've taken half the PCB with them then it's a 50 quid door stop. Sounds like it's worth a bit of a gamble though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any competant electronics engineer should be able to fix it with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
