  1. [quote name='Dubs' post='812392' date='Apr 20 2010, 11:43 AM']Was it £25 BIN? Someone has placed a bid...[/quote] I hate that guy.
  2. [quote name='Bassassin' post='812103' date='Apr 20 2010, 12:25 AM']There's no element of truth whatsoever in the suggestion that being daft-shaped means it would cost £30 to post it. About £12 if you used Royal Fail. Jon.[/quote] I'd charge extra to pack something like that. Plus probably should get better damage cover.
  3. Not convinced that is a mahogany board. Monster chip in it too.
  4. 4x12 is easier to make a sensible impedance without funny drivers or excessive rounding. Get 4 Eminence Delta 12LFA in an 8x10 sized box and ported appropriately and you'll have something close enough to an Aguilar GS412 to be awesome.
  5. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='811329' date='Apr 19 2010, 01:46 PM']If that's the one I have now yeah it's a good pedal but I don't really need it any more. He can have it for what I paid Oli for it which was £19 if I remember rightly?[/quote] Yeah, that's the one, fairly sure it was a round £20 with post.
  6. I had a Johnson/AXL one, worked ok.
  7. Pretty sure it has gone, since he hasn't tried to sell it to me recently.
  8. [quote name='allighatt0r' post='810593' date='Apr 18 2010, 07:05 PM']Dibs on this please! [/quote] If you message the dude about his BIN price, he might cancel the bid so you can make the BIN, bit late in the day, think it was £180 from memory.
  9. My loved but underused Wishbass: Maple, walnut and purpleheart. Not frets, I'm too tone deaf to play it. I've finished it in danish oil, hence the gleam (lots of sanding), so this is a fair bit ahead of a stock model. No truss rod, not needed due to double bass thickness neck. £175
  10.

Scared of the competition?
  11. EBS octabass. I've have one I might part with.
  12. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boss-RC-2-Loop-Station_W0QQitemZ160424813117QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item255a10623d"]Not quite cheap enough for me to flip.[/url]
  13. Quite a lot, unless it is to me. Kinda the holy grail of amps.
  14. Bump, unemployed now, and missed what I was after, so will entertain near offers.
  15. [quote name='Prime_BASS' post='809095' date='Apr 17 2010, 12:56 AM']down side is you can't add something make it louder.[/quote] I suspect it will go louder than a pair of Ampeg 4x10s anyway. Someone borrowed shockwave's and drowned out guitars, that were miced through the PA with it.
  16. Sometimes its sheer lazyness, a guy from my old work was gonna selll his spector to CC cause he couldn't be arsed to take a photo of it or tell me what it was so I could stick it up here.
  17. [quote name='Annoying Twit' post='807703' date='Apr 15 2010, 09:57 PM']Just wanted this opportunity to be all pretentious and say that I'm not going to be buying this TRC, even though it looks like it would fit my Cimar. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rickenbacker-truss-rod-cover_W0QQitemZ190389284939QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item2c5415f04b"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rickenbacker-truss-r...=item2c5415f04b[/url] Does anyone believe the claim that this is a "factory reject" TRC? I can really imagine Rickenbacker selling off their reject TRCs cheaply. Not.[/quote] Easy to rob their bins though. I've got a bunch of high quality audiophile amp parts going if anyone is interested.
  18. [quote name='Grambo' post='807751' date='Apr 15 2010, 10:28 PM']It means that more surface area moves more air - four 10" speakers will obviously have an advantage over two 10" speakers due to their surface area, though they absorb more "power", they offer less resistance to the amp. Speakers don't have "power" as such - they react to the amount of energy fed to them, which they handle according to the limitations of their electrical capability (power handling - so the coils don't melt) and the amount of physical movement they are capable of generating in the air. To put it (over) simply - the amp will generate it's output according to how much it has to work. Two 8 Ohm cabs will give it a resistance of 4 Ohms to work with, which makes it work better. I don't think it is particularly helpful to worry about which cab is absorbing more power - if one is less electrically efficient than another as a result of the particular way they are configured then so be it, that's life! We haven't even touched on wiring schemes (series/parallel etc.) - it makes my brain hurt :wacko: Who started this anyway.......[/quote] The problem is each cab receives the same power due to the same impedance (not resistance), but the one with 4 speakers spreads it over all 4, whereas the other only to two. So the two will be reaching their excursion limit at half the power of the 4x10. The 4x10 will be louder due to better coupling with the air, and possibly drown out the sound of the protesting 2x10, risking a breakage. Better having a 16ohm 2x10, making a 6x10 with all speakers working the same, at 5.3 ohm, or two cabs the same.
  19. Actually, I'm at work tomorrow afternoon, unless I walk out, so it's a no-go.
  20. [quote name='Conan' post='807665' date='Apr 15 2010, 09:21 PM']Is that a bad thing? Or does it just mean that the two cabs will sound slightly different as the speakers are moving further in the 2x10 than they are in the 4x10?[/quote] Well, the 2x10 will start to clip when the 4x10 is cruising, so you limit your clean power to twice that of the 2x10. Effectively, you are lugging 2 extra speakers for no gain, and don't have the recommended vertical stack option.
  21. They aren't great, Rikkaxxe is run by one of the bad sort of music shop guys, who looks down on customers and basically has a shop to house his collection. Across the bear pit with the bad buskers from there is Mickleburgh and that is ok, downstairs is the electric instruments and a guy who calls you 'dude' in the least convincing way ever. Then down the road is the House of Bass, where you should come so I can try and sell you my stuff.
  22. [quote name='Grambo' post='807561' date='Apr 15 2010, 08:08 PM']+1 I run an EVO III 500 with 1X ABM 210T which is great for practice, 1X 410T which is good for most mid sized venues, and both cabs if I want to get stupidly loud! The cabs are 8 Ohm each, so running both not only moves a great deal of air, but drives the amp at maximum output. I find the setup does everything I want [/quote] Does mean one of your cabs is running at half power though.
  23. Mazeti explorer copy, set neck, Mighty Mite motherbucker high output picks with coil taps to tame them some. Black with a white plate and gold hardware, £145
