Mr. Foxen

Barefaced for looks, vox for tone. Actually the Vox was another bands, my rig is a guitar head and a bass head into separate cabs, my bass has separate outputs for its pickups, so I cover guitar and bass area, and balance them with volumes, and do all sorts of feedback tricks with them.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1360083015' post='1964585'] Taiwan..? Really? [/quote] Compare with the back panel pics on the Weber site, which I can't link to properly. Plus the toroidal PT and drop through OT layout, stuff not in common with Hiwatt. Different amps, but looks to be same builder.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1360082709' post='1964573'] Or a Mywatt... [url="http://weber-amps.de/en/index.html"]http://weber-amps.de/en/index.html[/url] [/quote] Have a look at the pics of the Mywatt 200 and a look at some pics of the Smarvo valve amps, like the Ashton ones.

Been on the phone to them recently, an ebayer won a vintage Hiwatt PA from me but didn't pay up, so I got their contact details from ebay, an interestingly got through to Hiwatt/Hylight. In unrelated, I heard at one point they had owners in common with Music Ground. Anyway, much better off getting a proper Hiwatt than a modern repro one. New ones are just another standard amp with an expensive name badge.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1360037711' post='1963893'] Two super 15s? That's just plain rude.... [/quote] One's a Vintage, near enough.

I pictured it weird.

[quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1360004378' post='1963438'] If you put coppr foil or tape uner the pots, it will be earthed by the pots surely, so theres no need to solder to it. As for slugs, I tried wire and it didnt work, even tried putting a slug inside a circle of it, but it still got out. This year I,ll be trying 2 wires half an inch apart with an aa battey connected between. anybody tried that one ? [/quote] Shorting the batter with copper wire will run it out fairly quickly, need a resistor involved. Also its the joints between the copper pieces that need soldering, just in enough places its all connected, don't need to do whole seams.

Graphite paint needs three coats or so.

Do your EQ with the guitarist playing.

Guess some people take how many ebay rules they can break as a challenge: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tokai-Rockinbetter-/181074106356?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a28db97f4

I often think the change of pot that tends to go with the change of cap is the thing that makes the major difference.

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1359823979' post='1960819'] 'Don't bother, get a Matamp' [/quote] Good call.

Barefaced Vintage would be ideal if you can find one.

My W horn cab can be turned into a boat by undoing 10 bolts.

^this guy is feeling lucky then.

Is that a 6 string, or only 5?

Steve Wishnevsky of Wishbass has been making a crude version he calls a quinn.

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1358693300' post='1943423'] James Lomenzo from Ashdown is a great pedal. I just got one, and it has a lot of versatility to it. [/quote] +1 on this, I think these should be the default bass overdrive choice.

Classical anything, especially piano, would give me all the music reading and theory I would be a much better musician with but can't really be bothered to learn properly. All the notes just laid out there, be good for writing.

Put the 4x10 on a box. Get a barefaced Compact/Super 12, and put it on the box it comes in.

Shoot me a pm if you are playing in Bristol, because I don't look at gigs section often enough.

[quote name='paulpirie8' timestamp='1359538929' post='1956180'] +1. Reminds me of "Whiplash" slightly. [/quote] Does sound a lot like a guy that's major influence was early metallica jsut running with that. Which is probably exactly what it is. Not like Metallica are doing it any more, so guess there is an opening.

There are two neck pickup spacings, you can see them if you side by side different ones. Also I know whilst looking the same, the dimensions of a real one vs my CMI basically made it unusable.

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1359503138' post='1955995'] Soldering onto copper tape which is stuck to wood isn't always straight forward. The wood sucks the heat up see. O [/quote] Not foujnd that an issue at all, copper sucks up head much faster and that's the thing that needs to get hot.
