I had this problem with an MB30. I solved it by opening up the front ang carefully using a vacuum cleaner round the cone moving parts. Ithink you'll find Marshall speakers are susceptible to dust clogging the cone movement.

Another alternative to the wirewool is to use a scotchbrite type scourer. Use I dry, of course. This has the benefit f not falling apart and sticking to the pups.

Just a small point: £149. Thats $250 for a set of tuninh heads? I've bought entire instruments for less! -
Wouldn't these also fit a Fender? All you need to do is unscrew the big screw in the cog and turn the key round 180 degrees. Not that I need any, but it might help sell them.

Sold on Ebay for 220.00 I'm happy! -
Good basses these. Great value for money and you can get amazingly low action. GLWTS

I bought a full set. I paid a lot more, but they came with a free set of pups, strings, body and neck. They're light-weight and stable; don't need re-tuning much. I'd buy them for another bass without any hesitation.

To fretless or not to fretless, that is the question!
Grangur replied to Damonjames's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1398333682' post='2432939'] If you play 4 fretted then go same make and model 4 fretless and your muscle memory is in the right place on the fingerboard. I'm surprised anyway that you say fretless 4 strings are hard to find. At GAK for example almost all the fretlesses are 4 string. [/quote] Good point about the strings. Unfortunately I'm a bit fussy. I want an unlined fb and passive elects. Also I'm looking for a something a bit different to that which Gak seem to carry in stock. Thanks all the same. -
Angel aka Jon bought a meck from me. He's a good guy, a man of his word. Deal with confidence.

To fretless or not to fretless, that is the question!
Grangur replied to Damonjames's topic in Bass Guitars
If I can throw a question in here please. If going for fretless, is it better to go 5 string? I ask because I'm much more at home on a 4 but 4 strings seem hard to find. Is there a reason for this? -
Surely the value of the bass is irrelevant? Or did you mean "Best mic under £100 for recording a bass" ?

Thanks Mark, for buying the bridge, the feedback and the update. Its always good to know when things get there.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1398190327' post='2431464'] Going off-topic for a moment, the scalloped body on the Streamer is one thing I don't like! It makes it unnecessarily thicker - unless maybe the player has a large belly? I'm perfectly fine with the flat Corvette and Fortress bodies, which are only shaped for comfort at the top. So it really is a matter of personal taste. [/quote] *cough*.... pardon madam. I'm not fat The shaping, I guess, does make the body bulge more. I found something about the positioning of the Corvette gave me back pain. I think it may have been the position of the strap button and me trying to crane my neck to see the strings (being a noob to playing). But, as I say... each to their own.

FWIW I had a Warwick Corvette 4, German made version. It was ok-ish but I can't say I was blown away. I traded it for a Warwick Streamer Stage 1 which is passive/active with the push pull and it's far better, even in passive mode. The other point that I found I didn't like at the time with the Corvette is the slab-flat body. The Streamer body is scalloped in on the back, so it lays far better against the body. But, that said; each to their own. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

Pm'd back... consider it sold to the man in the pirate hat & eye patch -
It's simple to use and gets great results... type bump -

Not seen that style before (maybe I don't get out much) It looks good. You've done a neat job there.

Sold on Ebay: Fender Squier P-Bass, upgraded or standard

Hi Geek, Many thanks -
Sold on Ebay: Fender Squier P-Bass, upgraded or standard
Grangur replied to Grangur's topic in Basses For Sale
Many thanks... honestly it's a great bass. I can also change the bridge if someone wants a high-mass Hipshot or a Badass III.... extra cost, of course. But it's available to be added. -
An unlined fretless... I just don't know if I should carry on with the 4 string I feel at home on, or get used to a 5er?

I've loved this bass and it's been great, but I need to keep to [i]1-in = 1-out[/i] Here, as you see it is a Fender Squier Affinity precision bass with upgraded pots/harness/knobs, shielded cavities and pearly white pick guard. For £95 it comes with the standard pups. For £145 it comes with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders For £135 it comes with Kent Armstrong pups Either upgrade would be a good value and I'll happily fit them for you, or have it as standard. The neck is maple with a rosewood fingerboard and great grain. The frets are in good condition and the strings have loads of life in them. The set up is nice and low. I can ship it for £14.00, or collect it from Herts/Essex area, or I can deliver within 50 miles of London (maybe more as I travel a bit) Enjoy looking? Then you'll love playing it!

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1398072280' post='2430017'] Ibanez GSRM-20. From Thomann, about £170. 28.6" scale, fits a guitar bag. Change the strings, the factory ones are not very good. I've got one, I like it a lot. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_gsrm20gb_ca.htm?sid=3ac17caebd36d1cf89b625145ac9a81d"]http://www.thomann.d...9b625145ac9a81d[/url] Edit: Madshadows beat me to it, and cheaper too [/quote] +1 on the Ibby. That looks great value. You can't go wrong with an Ibanez IMO
