  1. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='658595' date='Nov 18 2009, 09:35 PM']Oh yeah I didn't notice the cab without the head. Is that an old H+H head on top of it?[/quote] That bit of the rig was unused at that point, the head that went with the cab is dead, with an H+H head on top for completeness. It's not a real Acoustic, it's a clone. Your pic confirmed the bolts are the same. Came with a 120w valve head. Interestingly, the guy I know who had a 360 said the best sound he had was the cab with a Fender Bassman head going into it, bypassing the power amp. Also:
  2. A Dremel (guess the Christmas adverts for them are back on TV) with a wouter attachement is ideal for cutting out scratchplate material. The right end can sort your bevel too.
  3. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='658576' date='Nov 18 2009, 09:16 PM'][/quote] Yeah, but put a bunch of various 4x12s either side (see above).
  4. Thats not how to do impedance (not ohmage, although it is measured in ohms) calculations, [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:amps:impedance_and_wattage"]Bottom half of wiki[/url] You end up with about 2.67 ohms, if you connect an 8 and a 4 in paralell (the usual way) adding in paralell will only decrease the impedance no matter how high an impedance you are adding. At a guess, the amp has a 8 ohm speaker in it, and a second 8ohm would give you the 4 it is happy with, that's usual.
  5. More amps and more cabs is a definite theme. Heres a local band that do it: [url="http://www.myspace.com/bignaturalsrock"]Fun finding their website on google.[/url]
  6. [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='657825' date='Nov 18 2009, 08:59 AM']How?[/quote] If it gets to the wood through a dig or scratch, it will make fisheyes in any attmpt at refinishing. [url="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=2n3&q=silicone+fisheye&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq="]Loadsa references on google.[/url] Also checked and Pledge does contain silicone. Anyone involved with wood finishing, or painting shudders at the thought of silicone contamination.
  7. 200w power handling is lame. The Lemmy Sig 4x15 is probably more the thing. Bet it flaps its speakers before it flaps your trousers. Probably doesn't need much power to get loud though. Ideal for Doom guitar.
  8. I'm after a Speakon to bare ends cable to use with a PA amp with binding posts if you have something suitable.
  9. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='657663' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:42 PM']It's a little more than just a decal and a bridge. Tell me to stfu if I'm wrong but ain't the Squiers plywood bodied? I'm not implying that it is a bad thing just significantly different.[/quote] Some are. Don't think any of the current ones are, except maybe the starter pack ones.
  10. [quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='656691' date='Nov 17 2009, 09:26 AM']Pledge/Cloth.[/quote] Fairly sure that is a big no, think Pledge has silicone in it, which will ruin everything if you ever want to refinish your bass.

  12. Anyone got a ride from Bristol and back I can use? Got a Wishbass and some horrible things to bring, pedals and nasty frankenbass or 2.
  13. [quote name='7string' post='656609' date='Nov 17 2009, 12:46 AM']As others have said, use 0000 grade wire wool for the frets and either mask the board off completely or use something so you don't hit the board. Don't use anything but 0000 as it'll leave big scratches.[/quote] Don't let wire wool anywhere near your pickups. Tape over them just in case.
  14. Need to figure what the speaker in the MArshall is rated at. If they are both 8 ohm, then you could run both. Probably not worth bother with though. One will probably fart out earlier than is helpful. The speakers are much more of a limiting factor that the amp power. 130w is quite a lot.
  15. G strings and Jazz necks. So many nice things spoilt by a whippy neck that gives you cramp and detunes you in a stiff breeze.
  16. Looks like you could cut some black plastic (scratchplate offcut?) and warm it a little to make a new one.

  18. Plus the P looks exactly like the one you already have. And the Guild looks not much like anything you already have.
  19. Where is a good place to score one of those in the UK?
  20. [quote name='Rasta' post='653310' date='Nov 13 2009, 08:02 AM']Ampeg SVT 4x10 - Low as 28Hz i believe![/quote] I wouldn't believe that. Proper PA subs don't even do that. I reckon, if you take all your pedals out of your chain and find you have a enough bottom, then an LS2 will sort you, belnd clean in with the effects, have your clean giving you the bottom, maybe a high cut in the other loop for seperation.
  21. What cabs are you tunning? Gotta have somewhere to send the extra power.
  22. If the 6x10 is 3 series pairs at 16 ohm per pair to give 5.3 (6 nominal) and the 2x10 is 16 ohm, then its like running an 8x10 at 4 ohm. Unlikely to have a 16 ohm 2x10 unless you rewire it.
