  1. You'll likely need a crossover and a midrange for a not dull or weird sound from a 3015LF. The 3015 not LF works pretty well in a Mag 15 cab though.
  2. The tech21 stuff avoids directly saying what they are modelling for the most part.
  3. [quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1347711617' post='1804225'] ive got another 15 (an ashdown) but its a bit wooly when they're togeather (and a pain to shift) so i though a good quality 210 would give me a bit more punch (ideally a warwick 211 to go with my warwick 115). [/quote] Could well also be wooly with a 2x10. Best way is always going to be more of the same cab you do like the sound of for the same sound but louder, rather than piling up cabs you don't like, which just gets messier.
  4. Make sure the wires between the contacts and the cone/coil aren't touching sometimes.
  5. Here's a related one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-BLONDE-WOOD-BASS-GUITAR-MARKED-FENDER-GREAT-SOUND-/370649702526?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item564c71a07e

Figured I'd try an cop his style, does it work for me?
  7. [quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1347469635' post='1801324'] Still for sale? The picture of tubes/transformers is extremely close to what my Hiwatt Bass 100 looked like! [/quote] This has two more valves hidden behind the tranny over that. More is more.
  8. Rest is shaped like a rickenbacker.
  9. Pretty neat work with a sharpie there. Should give lessons to MDP.
  10. Body grain looks quite nice, probably be reasonable if listed as japcrap, or possibly Korean, the narrow neckplate had some significance I forgot.
  11. [quote name='untune' timestamp='1347367345' post='1799819'] I particularly like the line 'Not sure how much it's worth but I was told could fetch alot more than what it's up for as it's boxed' [/quote] That statement completely fails on a buy it now listing with no bidding option, that is unsold.
  12. Louder comes from cabs, so usually better geting a better cab than more watts.
  13. [quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1347313702' post='1799325'] The worst is the Dean Blue Burst. [/quote]
  14. [quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1347314690' post='1799341'] After trying many valve types from fenders, ashdown to hartke, etc, it's hard to get a sound like it and more so with all the new smyphetic "valves" too. [/quote] The trick is eqing down the natural mids from your instrument, and replacing them with distortion products in the midrange, becuase the tone stack is mid cut only, but there is tons of distortion through the rest of the circuit. Everywhere else still tends to engineer the amps clean, and the distortion is pre eq.
  15. This one sounds like loads of buzzes. Most basses can have that arranged.
  16. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ampeg-SVT300-Ampeg-SVTIIP-Preamp-1974-Ampeg-SVT810-/180970740789?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item2a22b25c35"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2a22b25c35[/url] Needs work mind, nothing tough.
  17. Is it a switchable tweeter? Might be te tweeter, but woofers get hot also, if you hit a tweeter hard it makes horrible noise, but if a tweeter is turned down, sometimes something else heats up instead of noise, that is the not a big deal scenario, because you break something you don't use.
  18. If you want good money for it, have to ship overseas to more prosperous climes.
  19. The payment generally shows up £6 short from fees with my bank, HSBC.
  20. tap them to see if hollow underneath, but I'm guessing wood shrinkage, happens when wood isn't fully seasoned.
  21. Valve output stage doesn't limit EQ, aside from being high passed by the OT. Valve preamps with passive EQ are pretty limited, but that's down to the EQ not the presence of valves. [quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1347229649' post='1798391'] It's something I'd like to persue and so after some advice and further research today I've decided that I ought to try a sealed cab with my amp. [/quote] Definitely try plugging part of the port on the Big One, jam a block of foam or polystyrene in, some of it, and it will mimic the effect of a sealed cab.
  22. Pic would help, but is it finish deep? What sort of finish? some finishes will sink into the grain as the grain shrinks.
  23. Lots of lows will shoot more power at the cab. Is there a tweeter in it? Even if it is off, the attenuator will be handling the power, so it might be that.
  24. Vintage wavy grovers are prob worth most of that.
