[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1305064' date='Jul 15 2011, 07:46 PM']It could be early enough to be an Alnico one but as it's in neck position I'm calling the test null and void [/quote] As far as I am aware the switch from Alnico to Ceramic was done in 1991 at the same time as the phantom coil was introduced. If this is a 1993 then it's Ceramic. I suppose we need the serial number to verfiy which it is.

Which coil tap on the SR5? Neither sound like my SR5 but I would hazard a guess that #2 is closer.

It's one thing refusing to play slap bass because you don't know how to do it, and quite another to know how to play slap bass but then choose not to. I want to learn how to play slap bass so that I can choose not to play slap bass. [/quote] I wouldn't go so far as to say that I hate it, so apart from that I agree with you. It would be nice to be able to give just the occasional flourish.

[quote name='4 Strings' post='1299234' date='Jul 10 2011, 08:19 PM']Don't all valve amps have this? My old Hiwatt and all valve amps in my experience had a plug at the back and you just plugged it in the correct holes for your speaker impedance. Normally selections for 4, 8 and 16 Ohms. Its only tranny power stages which can't do this and give reduced power with increasing impedance.[/quote] It's not an all-valve amp, it's a hybrid. Only the pre-amp is valve, the power output stage is Class D solid state.

Yup I'll be there. Will decide what to bring nearer the time but probably 2 x Aguilar SL112 and an Ashdown LB plus other stuff.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='1283255' date='Jun 26 2011, 07:21 PM']Al Healey was kind enough to PM me a link to this diagram I've never wired a speakon before so don't know how this would translate to that from 1.4" jacks[/quote] Amp Output (1+) to Speaker #1 (1+) Speaker #1 (1-) to Speaker #2 (1+) Speaker #2 (1-) to Amp Output (1-)

Met half-way to conclude a transaction involving a Little Bastard which was in tip-top condition. Nice to meet you Sam. Deal with confidence people.

Jake, you are welcome to try my Lakland Duck Dunn, as an example of a modern P.

[quote name='markstuk' post='1265882' date='Jun 12 2011, 11:46 AM']Apparently not as the listings have been yanked :-)[/quote] Must be a problem with the way I put the link because I still can get them. Search on "Fender Squier 1968 replica".

Can they all be "his lovely"?

Some years ago I had a few dead Betamaxes. The plan was to fix them as it was a superior recording format to VHS. The situation was aggravated by a friend who kept finding them at the local tip and bringing therm round. Eventually I had to get rid of them as the garage was going to be demolished and rebuilt so in 2004 I started to sell them on Ebay. The going rate for a completely clapped out and dead Betamax was £40 per unit. Amazing what people will buy. One guy came all the way from South Wales to collect a pair.

I needed some 250K/250K stack knob pots but could only buy 250K/500K so I bought the regular 250K CTS pots from the same range as the stacked and did some surgery. If you can't buy 100K/100K then you could do the same, or of unsure about it then get someone to do it for you.

Very nice. I would say that it's a passive Skyline Duck Dunn which has been modded similar to mine. I had a battery box and a side-mounted jack fitted and a bridge J-pick-up routed in. The necks on these are superb, probably the best 4-string I have owned. The serial number should give you and indication of date of manufacture. Also check the colour of the pick-up wires. If they are white fabric covered then they are Lindy Fralin, if red & black or green & black they are Lakland's own. I'd be interested to know what pre-amp is in there.

I have now purchased something which looks promising but will not reveal what it is until I have modified it and proved that it is totally satisfactory. If not I shall remain stumm.

[quote name='carl0s' post='1253185' date='Jun 1 2011, 09:29 PM']The Sony MDR-XB700s are very good and I'm very happy with them. Their low impedance is immediately obvious, because everything is WAY louder than with my 54 ohm AKGs. They're very comfortable, and bassy! cheers everyone [/quote] Good result.

Almost next door and had I been fit and available I'd have been up for it.

Sony MDR-XB700 - serious bass. Love mine.

They all tend to be a bit old and tatty these dyas. I've been watchin a pair of Sound City 50s on Enbay but they are going to go for silly money. Latest situation is that I have a cunning plan and have parted with money. I now have to wait for delivery and test to see if said plan works.
