Ok, I’d be happy to have a look at it if it’s any help? If you trust me enough to take it away for a couple of days? Just get yourself a set of strings and I’ll put them on for you and give it a quick setup. Obviously if there’s an electrical issue that’s a different story, and it would need some professional help, but I’d be happy to have a look at it. Ibanez SR basses, all of them at all price points are great basses. £80 is a bargain if it can be set up nicely.

Whereabouts are you based?

Greg’s an absolutely top man. I bought a Warwick FNA from him, an absolute beauty of a bass, which I’m now very proud to own. Very very highly recommended in all respects 👍🏻

Alright, so for anyone interested…. The horn will not come back to life. The above information schematic says connect the wires one way, Eden say the opposite….. I’ve tried both, and nothing comes through the horn. The bulb fuse in the back looks perfect fine, all other components also look good. The 2x10s work perfectly, but the horn will not make a sound. I’ve run out of ideas… so it’s off to a professional to have a look. Frustrating, as I’ll be selling it again at the end. I hate amps. Such a mass pain in the *ss

Awesome….. I do love an Integra

So…. it IS red to red….

FYI

I think they basically film it at a time when they can get all the guests in one place at the same time. I think October November time is the norm these days.

November I think Dave said

STOP…….. ………Hamer time. Nice bass indeed.

Trouble is….. when the show finally does gets cancelled….. we’ll all start complaining that there’s no live music on tv.

I bought a replacement Eden horn for my cab from them….. it arrived the next day, even during a busy Christmas week, can’t fault them.

I literally thought about this thread mid set last night. I went light, with just the Thunderbird, the pedal board and a D class head. I thought, what if tonight is the night I break a string…..

Blimey mate, best of luck with all that! Make sure the singer drinks plenty of water. Pain killers can dry your mouth out. As far as Covid….. it’s a difficult situation as it’s a big gig night, but personally I’m of the opinion that one shouldn’t take chances passing it on to others. Like you say, the venue need you to do the gig, but the virus is a potentially dangerous infection for many people. All I can suggest is that the drummer stays well away from everyone.

Yep, all original members. Although I was just the singer when I joined as a teenager. Our bass player left maybe 20yrs ago….. so I took on bass/vocals around that time. We’ve had long periods of doing nothing over that time, while we all did different things, but always came back to it.

The Spinning Top in Stockport, never played there before, but it’s a great little venue, great house PA and monitors and the guy who runs the place knows what he’s doing with it all. The band’s called Crisis, original 80s heavy rock….. 2023 was our 40th anniversary.

Not only did we have ours going, but the owner of the venue got his out too….. “most bands who play here don’t want smoke, but I bet you do””……. we did.

Good gig….. first one using the TC BQ500 head via a house Hartke 4x10 cab. Happy with amp, although I didn’t really need the cab at all, because the DI sounded great without it. Great crowd, a lot of fun.

Tonight’s gig is via a house cab, so l don’t need this cab tonight. I won’t get chance to test it until tomorrow.

All back together as it was with the old horn, with the new horn fitted.

Interesting…….. and confusing (to me at least). Thanks very much for that.

Yeah it sounds fantastic. I’ve always liked the growl of a 2x10 with a horn. My Ashdown EVO II 500 combo is exactly that, but too heavy these days. Problem is, I want power, volume, grunt….. but light ish and affordable too.

I’ve made the move, after decades playing combos, to a 500W D class head. I was hoping that this 350W Eden cab would be ok with the wattage, as long as it wasn’t cranked up full. Unfortunately the horn blew at rehearsal. I literally just fitted a brand new one, so the cab is as good as new. However as it’s 4ohms, I can’t add another cab to spread the load. So, my assumption is that selling this cab and getting 2 8ohm cabs will give me the headroom I want without overloading anything.
