  1. Don't know if anyone else has seen this? Just had an e-mail regarding the SC re-launch. Now being called Reverb which was what I think they used to call their magazine. Not all old SC shops probably just cherry picked the best sites. Possible bargains to be had? Frank
  2. Got a blood red one of these. A mate gave it to me for my lad to learn on. Alex has moved on now to a Fender Jazz. The Axe is, as others have said bloody heavy. PJ pick ups, Precision sized neck. The paint job does look really thick. Considering how old it is it's in pretty good nick, hardly any knicks or dings. The one I have is in need of a good set-up or replacement electrics. I have been thinking about it as a project but not got round to starting yet. Was going to post to see if anyone had heard of them, saved me the trouble. If I get chance I'll put a pic up Frank
  3. My lad Bassboy 115 bought one from Sound Control @ Music Live in 2006. Lasted a month and popped. Took it back to SC in Brum and they did a deal on a Mag 300-210. Gigged for 12 months no probs at all, great tone (though obviously Marmite with some BC'rs). He then changed set up for a Hartke rig, (HA3500 & 4.5XL). I bought a 2nd hand Mag 300 head recently from a Basschatter as back up for him, Alex has now swapped out for the Mag & the 4.5XL, tremendous tone. So go figure. Personally, the Ashdowns are IMHO great amps but each to their own Frank

  7. Not to worry Son, it's working, It seems it's the fuse holder in the back. Took the fueses out to check if they had blown, put the holder back in and Hey Presto working. Don't know if this common? Any comments guys

  9. Might have a buyer for you on this. Not me but a mate of a mate. Might know more tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Frank
  10. Trani by Kings Of Leon. Not as frugal as Peek A Boo but just a great track and great bass
  11. I've read the thread regarding the PAT testing of equipment . My son has a Hartke HA3500 amp, his band will soon be playing at a council run gig and they state that all equipment being used needs to be PAT tested which they will do prior to the gig. Straight forward enough no worries there. My question is this must the cab be connected to the amp when testing is being carried out? From my limited knowledge I understand that becaause the amp has a valve pre-amp it needs to be under load i.e connected to a cab when switched on. Is this the case or not? Any advice please guys, will be greatfully received. Frank
  12. Top boy is our Steve, friendly & helpful.
