    Them's tiny pics. Not sure they reflect the massiveness too well. See the size of that iron though.

    I've found cheap upgrade aftermarket pickups to still be an upgrade to the stock pickups on real cheap guitars. I don't think pickups are very complicated pieces of equipment, there is really limited scope to spending money on making them.

    Should use shielded wire to carry signal in a guitar. Gives you the earth path built in, and cuts down noise.

    On its own: It does look tiny. Sounds big though.

    Substitute the SC120 for the green Matamp, couldn't face lifting it.

    That went for dick all. Wish someone had bought my 5150.

    If you are young enough to be that buff, you are not old enough to rock a 'tache like that.

    The danger is one cab being louder than the other, so it drowns out the weaker one farting out, so you don't pull your volume before it dies. Then it dies, and you turn up to compensate and the other one dies too. Which is why I just sent 2 10" and a 15" to the scrap yard.

    Scope to give this a ride to Kent coming up soon, anywhere on the way is feasible.

    Here it is before I cleaned it up. Just about to string it, and realised I hate stringing guitars when I could be eating bacon. I have some heavy strings and some light strings, if you are intereste, I'll let you make the choice, just PM me, and I'll set it up appropriate. This is US made with Alnico pickups, for the price of a Squier, it has an odd mode where another strat pickup has been added to make what looks like a humbucker at the bridge, and a three way switch that I dunno what it does. Might become clearer when it is strung. This has a two piece neck for stability, looks like micro stilt type adjuster too. Cheerful to post this. A US made guitar for £120!

    I'd quess an electric over would be better than gas, because gas ones are moist from the gas burning (which is why they cook stuff differently). I always figured putting them in the control cavity is a good plan, but I never remember when I have a bass open.

    [quote name='Dogsbreath' post='1344236' date='Aug 18 2011, 12:14 PM']Hi - thanks for the continued input - I appreciate it. I was intending to get another ashdown cab, just the 1 x 15 is that likely to cause a problem? I think another 4 x 10 might be overkill so maybe I should go for an ashdown 2 x 10 - still problematic? If you think I should just get a matching 410 then please let me know.[/quote] It is having different speakers (not just size, just different ones) that is the problem, they don't match each other across the board and cancel out in certain positions and frequencies (so it sounds different depending where you are in the room). If you want to do the 4x10 + 2x10, aim for a 16 ohm 2x10 to go with a 8ohm 4x10 (with the same speakers in it), so each speaker gets the same power, if they are both 8 ohm, the 2x10 will be taking twice as much power per speaker.

    I've sold some as 'taken from a working amp' and highlighted that the amp was fully fine, and there is only two, so a duff one would show up. Got good money for them. Testing can mean putting in an amp and seeing if they work.

    [quote name='Dogsbreath' post='1344149' date='Aug 18 2011, 10:55 AM']Thanks - best start searching for the 15" cab![/quote] If you like the sound of the 4x10 one, get another the same, mixing up causes problems.
  21. Mr. Foxen
    Speaker efficiency and voicing. The Peavey is probably much middlier. If you can rig it, compare the amp into the other speaker section.
  22. Mr. Foxen
    If people want to try out gear, they should visit their friendly neighbourhood House of Bass.
  23. Mr. Foxen
    Think you are missing pics. Those Mullards make this a bit appealing. Lemme check if I'm sorted for SC120... hmmm, I appear to have another one on the way already.
  24. Mr. Foxen
    Guitarists always seem to be using my amps.

    [quote name='bartelby' post='1343183' date='Aug 17 2011, 02:41 PM']The only shop in Newport seems to think that charging the maximum they can for products is the way to keep people buying local. I had buy a set of strings, fogot to order from stringbusters, so I popped into the shop. Online a set of nickel D'addario mediums is £14.30, in the shop £24.99 (you can get a twin pack online for £22 FFS!!). They charge the RRP for instruments too.[/quote] I guess strings are one of the very few regular sellers, so you have to make your money somewhere. Shops being retail establishments and all, charging the price recommended would also seem fair. Thing is, internet shops are a pain too, all about the second hand market.
