[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1431631038' post='2773486'] Great amps, superbly made with top spec components. The proof is in the fact that these amps can run so hot without fans, IMO. You'll pay a LOT of money to get that in an amp these days.. I reckon Just a plug as I have one and I doubt I'll sell it. [/quote] I know. It's a brilliant bit of kit, but I need to downsize, and it's capable of so much more than I use it for. Essentially it's getting used as a power amp (EQ flat and bass and treble at noon), as most of 'my sound' comes from the DHA VT1 EQ. Needs must unfortunately. -
I posted a thread on it a while ago when I first did the mod... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/236320-swr-mod-completed-nice/

Quite possibly.To be honest, the EQ is so flexible it's easy to dial the scoop back in if I need it. Most of the time I don't though.

Over £40k for a marker pen squiggle, anyone?

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1431470570' post='2771798'] Anyone using "plays like butter" to mean "plays smoothly" has obviously never tried to spread cold butter. [/quote] This. The single, most frustrating thing about modern life. Well, that and a lack of Proportional Representation...

[quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1431366460' post='2770562'] Same with mine, must be normal with a VVT set up. Just whack them both up full. Works for me. [/quote] THis, except I've bypassed the Tone pot, as it was always ever 'whacked up' too...

Sad news. I still play Dancing Queen, but not with the rest of the band. Love his lines on the ABBA stuff.
-
Double double necks, does that mean they're doing 'Xanadu'?
-
I nominate "Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch". That's not a band name, it's a register!

I used to [s]hate[/s] not look forward to playing "Blackout' by the Scorpions, 'cos it's just an E most of the way through to solos, so I livened it up by sticking in some two-handed tapping. It's still one of my least favourite tracks to play, but it's a lot more fun now.

Up for sale is my beloved Hartke Hydrive 410 1000Watts and 8 ohms. It's got a few scuffs on the tolex, the biggest of which is on the back, but these are only cosmetic.

[url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Cab%20Back%20Detail_zps2i9cf6am.jpg.html"][/url] and another small one on the side... [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Cab%20Side_zpshyzwhxow.jpg.html"][/url] These things will take anything you throw at them and more. 4 Aluminium/Paper hybrid speakers and a selectable HF horn. Looking for £350. Based in Ramsbottom/North Manchester. Can deliver within reasonable distance.

A well set up 'entry level' bass can change it from an 'adequate' bass to the 'go to' instrument. Do you have a particular sound in mind? Are you looking to emulate another player's tone? If so, then I'd look at what sort of bass they use.

I swear by my DHA VT1-EQ. I use it to add a bit of grit and polish to my signal before it hits my (uber-clean) SWR head. The DI is great too.
-
I don't suppose anyone's got a transcription to 'Dark Prince' from the Trio Of Doom album with Matheny, Pastorius and Williams do they? I could have sworn I had one, then sat down to give it some attention last night and couldn't find it anywhere.

Chord OC-50. It's a clone of the classics Boss OC-2. They can be had for toughly £40 BRAND NEW.
-
I've fitted 2 of the J Retros and never had any problems - even the older models with solder tabs instead of screw terminals were a doddle to install. I'd recommend an East to anybody playing a Jazz bass.

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1430682594' post='2763708'] Using 4001's for clipping in the second stage makes a surprisingly big difference. Excuse the messy wiring job, I embrace the ethos of function over form. [/quote] I've always rated 4001s as clippers. Good work sir.

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1430652466' post='2763360'] For comedy value ask an unsuspecting band member to pick it up by the side handles and watch them chin themselves as they put way too much effort in... [/quote] Awesome idea - I've GOT to have one now!

Played a 'Battle of the Bands' at a Rock bar in East Lancashire. The sound was terrible (no top end through the PA), so none of the singers could hear themselves properly, so that was a bit of a struggle, and the stage was tiny. On the plus side I played my head through a Barefaced cab (and loved it), and we got through to the next round.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1430586383' post='2762914'] But I'm very glad you liked whichever of our cabs it was! [/quote] 2nd Gen 2x12 with a HF driver. PM'ed.
