What sort of sound is this suited to? My band is heavy-ish, progressivey rock. More Floyd than Tool. I need a thick, meaty bass sound, something along the lines of Jon Pierce (Reuben), or Garrett Tierney (Brand New). Loud and bassy really. Would this suit me? I really liked the sound of Ashdowns, if that's any help.

[quote name='Stewart' post='116504' date='Jan 8 2008, 08:17 PM']Yes, just additional protection - I still haven't racked mine yet, but I must - if it fell even a couple of feet it'd do some damage to itself... I thought about a padded carry bag, but the GK one is over £100, so sod that! I've got a 4U rack bag affair on the way at half that price (they didn't have a 3U). The 2U + a bit of drilling would be fine too though...[/quote] There's a 3U rack head case for sales or swaps in the Market Place, can't remember which section though, possible bargain.

Just searched this amp on ebay, only 1, new, £475 -
Been looking at prices for flights to Bristol £65! And I have to get to Glasgow airport too, which, confusingly and annoying is miles away from Glasgow.

[quote name='Stewart' post='116429' date='Jan 8 2008, 06:49 PM']You'd want 3U (you just need some room at the top) A perforated/vented 1U panel would finish it off nicely...[/quote] I know nothing about rack mounted stuff, I thought it went up in 2s, 2U, 4U and so on. Been looking at the Ashdown ABM rack mounted one too. Will it work just the same as a normal head? Is the case just for protection for gigging?
-
What size of case would i need then if I was putting it in a case. Would 2U be too small? Would I need a 4U and then have a bit of extra space? I've been thinking about getting a rack mounted head and then a case to go with it. The only thing that's putting me off is that I can't try it out.

[quote name='Platypus' post='116340' date='Jan 8 2008, 04:58 PM']Yep, very good amp and definetly suitable for gigging - think that price is good too, though I haven't checked it against other outlets[/quote] Thats in the clearance section. Think they have it new for about £460 or so.
-
Found this in the clearance on Soundslive.co.uk: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Gallien-Krueger-700RB-II~ID~8144.asp"]GK 700RB-II[/url] Anyone tried one of these? Searching about on the net for a decent gig-able bass amp.

[quote name='jay249' post='115933' date='Jan 7 2008, 11:27 PM']Yeah possibly worth adding I really don't fancy posting it. Sorry guys.[/quote] Well let me be the first to say that if no one on here's smart enough to take this off your hands and you decide you will post it, it's mine. Really guys, you're not going to find a bargain like this for a while.

I still want it

Courier points system and courier issues
Jono Bolton replied to paul, the's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='paul, the' post='114459' date='Jan 6 2008, 12:07 AM']Sorry for the late response. I'm sure you've got this sorted by now but with APC you just give them a ring. Make sure you have the details ready:- ie weight and volumetric weight. Link to work it out: [url="http://www.apc-overnight.com/information.php"]http://www.apc-overnight.com/information.php[/url] Let us now how it goes/how it went.[/quote] Not sent it yet, been waiting on a cheque arriving (came today) and then clearing, probably send it at the start of next week, will let you know how it goes. [quote name='spinynorman' post='114467' date='Jan 6 2008, 12:25 AM']Interparcel is just an agent for various courier companies, so they'll give CityLink the volume commitment they want for an account and bulk discounts. Then they resell that to you at less than you would have to pay going to UPS or Parcelforce as an individual. They used to rebrand all the services and you'd just have to accept whoever turned up, but now you can pick DHL, CityLink, UPS etc, depending on how much you're prepared to pay. I've used all three of those through InterParcel and never had a problem, but I've probably been lucky. Possibly with the volume Interparcel have they get better service, but I don't know that.[/quote] Interparcel are the cheapest option I think, but they don't have anywhere near Ayr to pick the amp up -
Ten for me I think. Nope, eleven. Forgot about Rockers in Glasgow, which was horrible. Just under one gig a month isn't too bad I don't think for a band that only formed at the end of 2006, where until a few months go all 5 of us were still studying at uni.

Legend, thank you! PM'd!

Any pictures? Might be interested.

It's glued I think. I gave it a good hardy tug with my pliers/string cutters but it's going nowhere. I spoke to my tech guy, he says he's going to make me a new one, from metal or bubinga or a similarly hard wood, so I reckon I'll just leave it in for him to remove. He'll know what's holding it in seeing as he put the nut in there in the first place.
-
Corvette for me, although I'm not adversed to the Streamer either
-
How do I go about it? I need to get the broken nut out of my Jazz, but I've no idea how to do it. It's stuck in pretty good. I dunno what with, if it's glued in or if its just a really tight fit, but what's the best way to remove one?
-
Ebay, as much as it pains me to say it. I've had 2 now from this seller in the US. [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/InsightOut-Music"]InsightOut Music[/url] $11 for shipping to the UK, and the price is low enough that you wont have to pay customs on it, think the customs allowance is under £33. You'll have to get the saddles filed, but that shouldn't cost too much. And it's about 1/3 of the price you'd pay buying it from WD in the UK. Definite thumbs up from me.

Has anyone tried the Graphtech trem nuts? Any good?
-
Looking at the remains of the nut, the string slot on the low E was more of a square cut than a semi circle i.e straight lines and 90 degree angles than an nice, smooth cut, thats probably a big factor in it. Think I might try one off ebay, perhaps not Tusq, but at a fiver if it doesn't work it's hardly a major loss.
-
The original nut on my Jazz was very low down, and when I swapped to a Badass bridge the low E would jump out of the nut slot if I detuned to D (which I do, a lot). So my local tech made me a new nut, a Graph Tech one at a cost of £20. It was fine, good action, but the other night I was playing and a large chunk broke off, from the bottom of the low E slot to the top edge of the nut. I didn't hit it too hard, and I've hit harder, so I was a bit gutted when it broke. My question is, do I get my tech to make me a new one using the spare blank he gave me, or will a new precut form eBay do? There's several one eBay just now from very reputable dealers, precut to fit Jazz's and P basses. Has anyone got any experience of buying precut nuts? I don't want to spend money on a precut nut if it going to have the same problems as the original Fender one, but I don't want to spend even more on one being made for me just for it to break again.

Allparts vs. WD vs. Others Parts Suppliers

[quote name='The Burpster' post='112708' date='Jan 3 2008, 08:24 AM']Make your own you wooos! [/quote] Don't have the time, materials, tools, money or skill I posted a request for a 'plate in the Wanted section of the Marketplace, and was put onto Highly Strung, buying a new white pearl guard from there tomorrow after the wages are in! Some very positive feedback about them so I'm settled. Also, I used WD myself when I was after replacement knobs for the Jazz and some new allen keys. After phoning to ask if the knobs would fit the pot shaft and being told they would, they didn't, and they didn't send the allen key I'd ordered. I returned them, and they sent me the same wrong parts again. Eventually had to ask for a refund, which they did, no problems at all. Bit disappointed, but the P-bass plate it excellent, really top drawer. -
Any word on the Ashdown stuff yet? Looking for some Ashdown stuff. -
Allparts vs. WD vs. Others Parts Suppliers
Jono Bolton replied to Jono Bolton's topic in Accessories and Misc
The scratchplate for my precision I got from WD didnt go on as easily as I'd hoped, a bit of force was needed to get it over the pickup but it was a pretty snug fit once I'd snapped it into place. I spent ages last night scouring eBay, and decided to get a genuine Fender one, seems the only way to avoid the will it fit/wont it hassle of buy from a parts supplier. Found one from the states, gonna be about £11 inc. postage. -
El bumpo! My birthdays in less than 4 weeks and I've been after an Ashdown, may give you a PM if it's still about!
