Here are some PUBLISHED features: -Lightweight receiver with clip for easy wearing -Capable of telephoning using built-in microphone on receiver -Headphones: EX 9 mm / Stereo -Microphone: Built-in / Mono-Bluetooth® version 2.0 A2DP / HSP / HFP -With volume control-Battery life: 11 hours (100 hours in standby mode) -Charging via cradle (supplied) -Supplied with rechargeable Li-ion battery -Headphone cord: 0.4 m-Dimensions (W x H x D): 17 x 67 x 34 mm Was used occasionally when new but has sat in a box for several years as my hearing aids have it all built in. In good condition and comes with charging station and original manual. Tested it with my Ipad earlier and the headphone part works fine but I am unable to test the mic/phone interface. Collection welcome or post at your cost.

Pink is fine. I have an MIJ '96 Anniversary Jazz which I acquired many years ago through this Forum. It has all the signs of being heavily used both by the original owner and myself. I found that the original white scratch plate was a bit too in-your-face so I changed it to a Tort. This was taken before I changed back to a VVT control plate.

OP, is your AH600SM covered in black vinyl or green carpet because according to the Trace brochures that I have the two versions are indeed different?

I had the great pleasure of seeing 10CC do a warm-up gig at Farnham Maltings last December prior to their Xmas tour opening for Quo. Superb evening especially their acapella Verizon of Donna. Great band, memorable songs.

Just be aware that the bridge pick-up of the MIJ '75 reissue is not in the 70's position.

[quote name='Urban Lions' timestamp='1430560690' post='2762566'] But when I plug my 150w amp into it all the speakers are working. [/quote] In that case it looks as if it, or your cable, been modified so without knowing what's been done it'll be impossible to suggest how to use it.

I had a BFC for a while and came to the conclusion that to make any sense of it with anything other than an AH1000 then I would have to change the speakers and rewire it. For the OPs information the internal wiring is like this. If you are using it with a mono amp and a normal Speakon (1+/1-) lead then you will just be driving the 15" section which is rated at 500-watts.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428355816' post='2740593'] I believe the reason for the perception of 'heft' in valve power amp transformers is due to 'sag'. As I understand it, 'sag' refers to the reduction of the power supply voltage in response to large transient signals which lends an important dynamic 'feel' to the amp that is not found in solid state amps... I could be wrong of course, as I'm no techie. But I do know the most 'heft' I've ever experienced in 40 years of playing bass has been from all-valve amps. [/quote] Early all-valve guitar amps used valve rectifiers, such as EZ80, EZ81 and GZ34. These were very good at 'heft'. This has got me thinking that one way forward might be a simple 3-watt amp with valve rectifier driving a DI transformer.

Welcome Andrew from just down the road in Farnham.

Excellent work Sylvia. Well done.

Welcome Mark. A lot of good music has come out of New Jersey. Do you know my good friends Joe Durso and Stone Caravan. They have a good following over here.

[quote name='MindGoneBlank' timestamp='1426287880' post='2716741'] The Ibanez Promethean P3110 blows the TC out the water. Plus it's smaller, to boot. [/quote] Very interesting. Who has one?

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1425908017' post='2712024'] The next version will feature wireless pads that slip inside your underwear. [/quote] I was thinking inside the soles of boots. At least then you could move about. Platform boots with transducers just like the 70s.

Had a chat with the TC Product Manager at the show today and it transpires that they did not appreciate that UK mains voltage can sometimes be much higher than the European 230-volts. Our mains supply of 240-volts was causing a resistor to blow in the power supply. They have assured me that this has now been fixed and that all new stock is OK.

As I suspected, not very promising. I see that TC are at the show this weekend so a few pertinent questions will be asked.

I know very little about them, but the price is good. Quite a massive reduction! Frank. [/quote] Agreed that it's a good spec and a good price but it's half as heavy again as the TC.

Looking for a small but punchy combo for rehearsals. On paper this seems to tick most boxes and it's currently at a good price. Anyone using one? What do you reckon?

Been doing this for years. Loudest thing is the tapping of my foot so I have to put it on a thick cushion to keep Mrs obbm happy.
