That isn't a cab.

There have been many occasions when I have asked if they would be willing to package it up and they've said yes, this "it doesn't have a hard case" stuff is bogus - if it's well packed then it won't be a problem. If it's well packed then that's what insurance is for. [/quote] No hardcase = no insurance most of the time.

They sit in totally different frequency bands, so it doesn't really matter in terms of audibility.

Being pleasing to the ear is all of the point, so its always going to be the best way. I'm not sure how meters work, but since its pretty hard to get a flat response mic that is omnidirectional, I'd guess the one in a meter is gonna only be accurate over a limited bandwidth.

DB needs a weighting. And frequencies effect the meters differently.

Need a tweeter really, vocals and cymbals sound all wrong without. The three way Barefaceds should do it. If people are drunk, won't matter much.

What part is breaking? There is nothing in a Woolly Mammoth that can't be fixed fairly easily.

Fairly likely the pickups are standard and you can just lose the preamp and do a simple passive wiring job.

The Sansamp Leeds pedal probably goes there, I've not aimed for it on purpose, but it heads that way during my fiddling.

[/quote] Kind of already done it, aside from a rosewood board, right down to bridge style. [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/newbassinblack004.jpg[/IMG]

Mere lack of legal basis doesn't stop him crying or ebay folding to his demands.

Especially like the polepiece alignment, very Fender.

Fairly sure the Fender bassman tone stack and the bass terror one are broadly the same, same style of circuit, maybe values tweaked a bit. Probably differences in how linear the power section is.

Different tones for different songs, but some bands play a lot of songs that are the same for the purpose.

Quite a few have gone through for sale, they aren't super expensive, cheaper side of the all valve ampegs, but they are heading toward recap time, and that is a fiddly nutpain job. I used a Sansamp VT bass into vintage valve heads, would do the same into not vintage not valve heads.

All of the SPL and loudness comes from the cab, so the amp has no meaning without a specific cab.

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1346545576' post='1790513'] The fretboard will lightly sanded to get rid of the current string marks and finished in epoxy to protect it. Thinking about getting some front facing inlays installed as well because I get really lost on something this big! Not sure what type of inlays as I find they look ugly on a lined fret-less bass. [/quote] If you are epoxy coating the board anyway, you could stick a comic book page to it or anything like that.

Is the SVTII pro vintage now? I sort of considered them hold up example of the compromises in modern amp construction.

[quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1346572412' post='1790584'] Good morning guys! I've received a request from the seller to revise my feedback! He obviously didn't realise that what he wrote to eBay would be copied to me so he expects a revision after telling eBay what an awful person I am. He's also told eBay that the [u]amp[/u] was faulty, so he's either lying to eBay or to all those kind enough to ask him a question. [/quote] Also, you are now a guy in his response.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1346531849' post='1790377'] I've posted a question asking if there are any issues with the amp and what the dispute is about - I wonder what his angle on this will be.. [/quote] [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1346518675' post='1790202'] [size=4]He's responded and said...[/size] [size=4]"[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif]went to pack the amp and thought there was a problem. turned out to be the surge protected socked not the amp. I didn't want to send it off un;ess it was perfect - it is perfect and all in the original packing. Used about 6 times. The guy was upset and destroyed my 100% rating even though I was just doing what I thought was right."[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif]When he sussed the amp was OK could he not have offered it to the OP? [/font][/color][/size] [/quote] [quote][color=#000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=2]Hi. It didn't need repairing - It was plugged in through a surge protected socket which was faulty. Nothing to do with the amp. I'm not technical and felt a bit stupid to be fair.[/size][/font][/color][/quote] Seems fairly straight up as an answer not knowing the back story, guess he'll get a bit fed up of that question though.

It is the coupling between SMPS and class d output stage that made for the lightweight amp revolution. Power supply is pretty important to wattage figures, along with heatsinking, its a pretty major determining factor to maximums.
