I used to do those. I might have one somewhere which you can have. I'll have a look tomorrow.

No, neither is Mark King.

[quote name='Johngh' post='563400' date='Aug 8 2009, 11:53 AM']I'll be coming to the Bash. And bringing Fender MIJ Jazz 75 reissue. Shuker Headless 6er and Status S2 Classic 6er headless. Your welcome to try the S2 obbm, even though its a six.[/quote] Ta muchly.

What impedance is the cab?

I would really like to try a Status S2 Classic 5-string fretted headless. can't see one on the list. Has anyone got one they can bring please?

I had a DJ5, black with maple fretboard and it had a great range of tones, especially with the J-Retro. It did growly very well indeed. At one point I had a DJ5 and a JO5. The DJ5 was so much better all round, and lighter, even than the DJ4 I've just sold Although I played it for a year or so I don't get on with 35-inch scales so it ultimately had to go and I went back to my Status necked Stingray 5. To be honest I have yet to find another 34-inch scale 5-string to equal the SR5.

If you bought a 4-ohm 2x10 and used it with 4x10 the total impedance would be 2-ohms. You should be asking yourself "is my Peavey head capable of driving a 2-ohm load without expiring?"

I did quite a bit of research on the Sterling 5. It is effectively the same neck as the SR5, it's the body that is smaller. I contacted Strings and Things asking who had one in stock in the UK that I could try. They had one which they said they could send to my local dealer, Andertons, should I wish to try it. They also sent me a list of basses which were ex-factory and which could be shipped over if I ordered one in one month rather than the normal 3-4 months for a new build. Having looked at the demos I came to the conclusion that I wanted an HS. I was on the point of ordering one and then it dawned on me that for the price I could get a fully custom bass built here in the UK by a superb luthier with HS pick-ups, so that's what I've ordered. The only down-side is that I now I have to wait 10 months but it'll be worth it. I would certainly be interested in trying a Sterling HS but they are about as common as hen's teeth.

Possible confusion of terms. By using the the acronym PA do you mean a Power Amp to drive your speakers or do you mean the Public Address (front of house sound reinforcement and monitoring system) which is more normally referred to as the PA?

How about an Epifani UL902C. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54996&st=0#entry545150"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...t=0#entry545150[/url]

I am pretty certain that this exact rig was on Ebay last year. It's a shame they don't keep the history.

It was they who concluded that there was no demand in the UK for High Definiton televison broadcasts and as such made no bandwidth allocation for them on the Freeview platform. Several years down the road they have back-pedalled like crazy and HD will be on Freview next year. in time for the World Cup.

Very interesting. It raises at least three questions in my mind. 1. How are retailers going to justify continuing selling equipment that will be illegal in 3 years time? 2. How do they plan to enforce it considering the sheer amount of wireless equipment currently in use? 3. Who has bare the cost of replacing one's own equipment? I suspect the answer to 3 is muggins. Will we start to see a flood of Ch69 equipment on Ebay aimed at those not in the know?

I have just taken delivery of Adam's F1. Perfect transaction. Well packed. Quickly shipped. Deal with confidence. cheers Dave

Any idea where I can get a replacement nut, and what is involved in removing the remains of the old one and fitting the new one. I'm lousy at DIY, so should I be looking to get help! cheers Dave[/quote] Take it to Joe White in Farnborough. He'll make you a new one.
