[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1321141716' post='1435928'] Free listing this weekend - time for the chancers to try it on perhaps? [/quote] Hi.

I'd use Danish oil. you can also put dye in danish oil, might be interesting.

That is a really bad job all round.

High res pics in my blog of the fancy wood. Off to the tech Tuesday to assess the neck. Seems Elixir strings got more expensive too, grr.

Can have my one for cheaper than that.

Figured a plan: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/BC%20Rich%20Eagle/eagle001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/BC%20Rich%20Eagle/eagle002.jpg[/IMG]

Seems I'm a technician. My position in the music scene is technical support apparently. Was at a venue to pick up a bass today, one I played at coupla weeks ago, taking a leak, sound engineer comes in, takes a leak next to me and goes for the old 'Musicians, eh? Vuh!' stuff, as we, the people who have to sort everything out for them all well know. I was kinda figuring I was one of them that was just a bit more capable, but am apparently 'one of us' to the techies.

Don't forget there is a neo surcharge cause of the price crazyness when you are mentally spending your money: http://barefacedbass.com/ordering-and-availability.htm

12aX7 are light bulb easy. A good one might help hiss.

I'm prob gonna order pile of valves from Hong Kong soonish, if you aren't in a rush. Have 6EL34 sat here from last lot I ordered if you are in a rush. Ordering overseas is pretty much the way, the current production Shuguangs are very good. Recap isn't a bad plan.

Fan in the wrong place can mess up airflow so might not be best idea. Fluid dynamics make Thiele-Small speaker design look a bit easy.

Justin at Heron Music has done some stuff for me 158 Whitehall Road Bristol BS5 9BP 0117 955 3763 for the shop or straight to him, 07536285940

How heavy and how much do you have to spend? Peavey IPR basically ticks all the boxes.

"Hi, my dog has request I buy this so he can smoke it, I've recently had to pay for an extensive course of medication so can only offer $1.63"

All those sites are by the same guy, and the technical stuff is way out on there, he's been asking another guy and then misquoting it on the site.

2x12 is probably loads if you have the high passed out at 100-150hz, just gotta obey the rules of speaker placement, because without the undirectional lows, the mid beaming thing is going to be extra prominent.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1320882376' post='1432862'] The cancellation issue does concern me Oli, so i'm wondering about getting that side of things right the most.. [/quote] A high pass on one amp will sort it.

Design is tweaked from Matamp, but the style is all copied, the American ones are dirty, lots of distortion from crude construction. New Matamp come from Matamp and are well engineered amps so are much cleaner and influenced by what you put in. Matamp do colours if they have the stock, but their supplier wants bigger orders and they are a small run kinda company. You can order whatever you want from them, as long as they can get the stuff to cover it (or you supply it, cloth backed for their glue).

The Orange thing you linked is wrong too. Gibson bought the Orange name and had Matamp start making Oranges again (like they did originally) but Clifford Cooper later reacquired the rights and restarted Orange as we know it today. Basically more using up NOS parts, also the made the first line of Ashdown Peacemaker amps (which I've had two of) so there are bunches of common components there also. Edit: Also funny is the American guy makes a 'White Power' amp: http://www.whiteamp.com/guitar-and-bass-tube-amps-speaker-cabs.html I wouldn't be surprised if it is on purpose, he's gone for racism in his rants before.

Basically, yes. Matamp made amps that were green in colour in the 70s (I have one). In the late 90s Dave Green joined Matamp (who had not been functioning as a company for a while) as chief engineer and they started using up old stock including the remaining 70s green basketweave and made Green amps, what with it being his name and all. Some of these were exported to a guy in America who thought it would be cool to put 6550 valve into the EL34 slots to make the 'bass amps' (which Matamp didn't make at the time), he sold these to stoners who thought the distorted sound of an amp going wrong was cool, however this meant that they blew up a lot. He then tried to blame Matamp for unreliable amps and Jeff told him what to do with himself. Then he cried all over the internet about Green amps coming in black basketweave and had to pay someone else to make amps for him to sell and badmouthed Matamp a lot with terrible spelling and grammar. You'll start recognising the bad grammar thing if you look at a bunch of those sites, its a pretty unique style. He also doesn't know basic electronics like the difference between solid state and digital, which becomes clear if you read Planetoftheamps.

Basically, US law doesn't apply outside the US.
