Post up a picture of the wiring. It sounds like one of the pick-ups is not wired to the correct pot terminals.

So what's the story with this then?

Good to see you back again Chris.

It's gone again, probably due to the No PAYPAL statement which infringes ebay rules.

It's had bids cancelled and finished. but relisted at [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olp-Ernie-Ball-Musicman-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ280272927625QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280272927625"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olp-Ernie-Ball-Music...emZ280272927625[/url] . He's removed the reference to Sterling pick-up.

I've asked some very pertinent questions about the pick-up. Also asked if I could collect. I'll post the answers if he replies. I also believe that by refusing to take Paypal he is infringing the listing rules. For some time now Paypal has been mandatory.

The sellers feedback reveals all.

I used a Linear Conchord (30-watts) and a 4x12 cab (4 x Bakers Group 25-watt speakers from RCS, Croydon) from 1964 -1967.

A great day indeed. Nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. Just sorry I had to leave early. Well done Nick and Martin.

For those 18 who voted for my Orange/Bergantino rig, I have a gig on Saturday night so will be leaving around mid-afternoon at the latest, so if you want to try it/hear it then get there early.

If not, no sweat, as you'll be gettin a PM soon for a whole bundle of lead-related madness! btw, nice review in BGM! Yes I have some. I'll take them to the Bash. Thanks.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='278502' date='Sep 6 2008, 11:34 AM']I would be quite interested in seeing how my GB head sounds through one of those BFM cabs. Unfortunately the amp only has speakon output sockets.[/quote] I'll bring a cable.

You shouldn't feel like that. Unfortunately it's a common error a bit like the difference between lend and borrow.

Just being my usual pedantic self but basses don't have "Input Jacks". The signal is generated in the bass and leaves via the "Output Jack". Amplifiers have "Input Jacks"

[quote name='bennifer' post='275010' date='Sep 1 2008, 10:16 PM']and at what impedance does the head kick out 50 valve watts at?[/quote] It's a valve amp so that point is irrrelevant. You will get max output from a valve amp at any impedance as long as the output transformer tap is set to the same as the speaker.

[quote name='tom skool' post='274961' date='Sep 1 2008, 09:25 PM']hi i'm new here! Ive just got myself a 50 watt selmer treble'n'bass head but as its considerably louder than a 50 watt solid state i've got no idea what size cab i need for it. I tried it out with 15inch 200 watt ashdown cab and that started to fart a bit before i reached half way with the volume. I do like a bit of distort which is why i went for the 50 watt and not the 100 watt but this wasnt particularly nice and i think it was more the speaker complaining. does that seem right? I've seen a laney r410 thats within my budget which i think is 250 watt. would that extra 50 watt make the difference? I play mostly pub gigs playing rock/ indie covers and i've managed for years with 150watt ashdown combo but our guitarist is not only deaf but has serious GAS and has ended up with a 100watt fender twin! Although it is switchable to 25watt (yeah right,hes gonna wanna do that!) Any way i hope some of you can give me some idea of what i need. i hope i havent asked too many questions cheers tom[/quote] Firstly welcome. Seeing that at the time the Selmer was made speakers had rarely more than 50-watt handling, are you absolutely sure that the problem lies with the speaker and not in the amp. It could be that you are just overdriving the amp into distortion. If we knew where you were then maybe some kind and knowledgeable member could lend assistance/try cabs. BTW you're never going to keep up with a Fender Twin with 50-watts.
