If I win it for my ridiculous lowball bid, you can bet I'll travel to where-ever it is in Lincolnshire to pick it up [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140459010053"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=140459010053[/url][/quote] What kinda rick does that look like?

Burman was pretty much about using the best stuff you can get, and alnico speakers were obsolete when the amps were being made, so not really appropriate to stick one in a Burman.

What's the story? I'm fairly sure there'll be another way, depending on what it is. I can get them made, but might not be economic.

I shout when I'm drunk because when I'm drunk stuff I'm saying is very important for people to listen to.

Putting it before an OC2 might be interesting as the frequency sweep will mess with the tracking, which may or may not be musically useful.

With rosewood boards, and other hard oily wood (brown ones, basically) lemon oil is the thing. But the 51 is an all maple, so should be varnished, oil will discolour it, although I've just spend a week feeding danish oil to a maple bass, and it looks lovely. I think you wanna get a bass, then ask about specifics of maintenance. If it is poly finished, like most modern ones are, a cleaning should be all it needs.

Cocktail sticks are hard wood, some of them and glue is my favoured, or those wooden skewers.

Poly finish rather than nitro and stainless steel frets should sort it. Refret is a bit extreme though. A good maintenance regime should really be all, wipe down and oil regularly, except its a maple board, so don't oil it. I think the reissue is poly finish, so just keep it wiped down, and if you have a lacquer crack seal it off with superglue.

And announce the location, because you want more people at your gig.

I did have a look at the teak oil, but it said don't use thinners or white spirit. Fairly happy since it saved a few quid and I carried on using my tin of Danish.

Would make it sound like a closed back guitar cab. Pretty much all the rules for making bass cabs don't apply to guitar ones, since they are supposed to colour the sound loads.

Bit of a disaster: Figured now there are a couple of coats of oil on the front, if I skim over it with 1000 grit wet and dry, lubricated with oil/white spirit, it will give more of a shine to it. Hover, it actually filled in the pores with dark grey abrasive. Gah. Gone over with a scourer and white spirit and it hasn't lifted. Am I going to have to block it all down again? Its only a narrow band across the top horn, oil is handy for being able to patch it, but still, far from ideal.

Power ratings are best ignored. It won't be the power that breaks it, it will be excursion, so its more about frequencies. don't expect any bottom from it, and don't try and eq any in, ideally by using a guitar head with it, and it will be fine, but probably won't sound much like a bass. I'm gonna be playing bass through a guitar rig in about an hour (next to a bass rig).

The one that falls at a really good price point, should be the standard, for powering a bunch of pedals on a daisy chain? The cable on my cheapy Moen has worn through, looking to get a keeper. Equivalent of the Pitchblack for tuning pedals (or TU2, but really, the next step on from the classic is what I'm after).

I mostly meant the power rating on the amp would indicate what it came with originally.

[quote name='Subthumper' post='966697' date='Sep 24 2010, 01:58 PM']Putting a bass through it will most certainly blow the drivers[/quote] It wpon't certainly. It might if you expect it to produce bass cab lows. Expect it to sound like a guitar cab and you are good to go. It's based on a Fender Bassman anyway. I wouldn't use it as a standalone, but as the top half of a dual amp rig, golden.

I use tall cabs. A means to raise them has never been an issue when required.
