    [quote name='cameltoe' post='936101' date='Aug 25 2010, 04:08 PM']Yeah, there must be something wrong somewhere. The LB should break up very, very easily. It should allow slightly more output from the 'high' input, which is for passive basses, but the 'low' input, which I use, breaks up at around 1/3 on the output, using a Precision bass. Hmmm. I'd try it with a different bass first and foremost, then I'd ring Ashdown. It hasn't had less gainy preamp tubes installed has it?[/quote] thats my initial reaction to, whats the valve line up? If they're all 83's i'd try some new vales since one may be a bit buggered

    Right had another bash at it today, but got it fully up and running and it sounds absolutely mint! Not sure whether to keep this or my superbass now, the superbass has the lemmy factor but the super pa has the better tone hmm. First i noticed one of the caps had given up the ghost and had spewed its guts so that was first to be replaced, also the 100k resistor on the cathode follower plate had been replaced with a 150k at some point, so i replaced that aswell. close up of the cap new caps chassis top with old caps new ones another shot for good measure Everything else seems fine at the moment, all that needs doing now is a new indicator light and to drill some holes for the IEC. will take some more pictures of it in the case when its all done!

    aye in two minds at the minute whether to actually take the plunge and try and claim the postage fees back afterwards, feels a little harsh on the poor guy and there is always the risk he could move the money out of the paypal account.

    [quote name='crez5150' post='383102' date='Jan 17 2009, 12:47 PM']Seems the product listing is up.... interesting though look far to far-eastern looking I think. They've also gone back to using the original Logo on these - [url="http://www.amps.wharfedale.com/Products/Series/tabid/82/PID/2/Default.aspx"]Whafedale[/url][/quote] woah they've got a bit of a grannys nitted top vibe going on

    recently aquired this amp with the intention of doing it up and it arrived yesterday and it looked in not such a great state, but i did some quick fixes and it lives! Although it is sounding very poorly, so think its time to bust out the multimeter and replace all the components that've gone out of spec, afterall the amp is from 1974. heres a few pictures i took today more will follow someone had attempted to jumper together ALL the inputs via piano wire or something along those lines close up of piano wire spaghetti i replaced this and put it back to spec someone has also put a IEC in but decided that if it was covered in insulation tape it didn't need screwing in (tape not shown) Heres a whole shot of the board - fairly neat and good quality craftsman ship on a production amp, something you don't see on amps nowadays! More pictures to come of the full amp and detailing what else needed replacing, guessing most of electrolytics are dead and the power valves are also nackered and need replacing.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='930997' date='Aug 20 2010, 03:01 PM']Think I'll take one of his other items... hmmm only trouble is that if I organise my own courier he isn't going to be there (or will plain refuse) to have it collected! I do how ever have family down in Corby. [/quote] haha, if he does let you collect could be intresting, i've not heard back from him yet. May have to copy and paste the part about sellers having to charge fair postage fees.

    won it, ebay has to back you but the worst that'll happen to him if he does't send it is he'll get his account banned and have to make a new one

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='930283' date='Aug 19 2010, 08:49 PM']Strewth! Good spot, mate. GAK sell the current equivalent for £630 - it handles 1600W. Assuming it's pukka, that's a ridiculous price. It weighs 47Kg, mind ...[/quote] 47kg isn't to bad for an 8X10 i've got heads that weigh more than that.

    [quote name='michael-faces' post='930039' date='Aug 19 2010, 04:57 PM']I've tried a few of them, and yeah some are ok. Really looking for a more unique sound though. Also I'm getting this as a spare preamp for my guitar, so I thought I may as well put it to good use on my bass, if I can.[/quote] would be better running it into another amp and cab, get a stereo power amp and a cab.

    [quote name='michael-faces' post='930015' date='Aug 19 2010, 04:39 PM']Thanks umph. I am after distortion. I'll check out about noise rejection levels now (I'm new to this by the way!)[/quote] not as in amp distortion, as in harmonic distortion within the clean signal didn't mean it'd blow the other preamp up just meant it's quite likely to make the noise levels VERY loud, would result in more clipping to though.

    [quote name='michael-faces' post='930007' date='Aug 19 2010, 04:36 PM']Thanks colledge, you helped a lot on my last question too! Another quick question, would there be any danger for the second preamp if I was running the first preamp really loud?[/quote] HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    [quote name='michael-faces' post='929985' date='Aug 19 2010, 04:25 PM']I started a thread asking about running a bass into a guitar preamp, and I got loads of helpful answers, but its led me onto another question. Is it possible to run two preamps in a single chain? I don't have two preamps at the moment (second one should be arriving soon), but I'm just curious as to how it would sound, and if its even possible. Would this be a dangerous thing to attempt, and would it result into a catastrophically awful sound? In this case, I'd be running a guitar preamp, into a bass preamp, then into a power amp and a cab. Please let your thoughts known on this![/quote] personally i'd just run a single preamp no real advantage to running two in a row, there are some disadvantages though such as noise rejection / levels will rise and overall distortion will rise aswell. What're you trying to achieve? you may be better off looking at pedals if your after distortion.

    you could get an allparts etc. neck. never had problems with mine and are quite nice to play, just doesn't say fender on the headstock
  16. umph
    it's a shame because the original carlsbro stuff is great, especially the top and 200 watt models
  17. umph
    lucky whoever got there first!
  18. umph
    enjoyed having one of these even though i'm not a huge fan of the fender tone stack. They sound great on 11 and will really shake the walls!

    [quote name='PaulE' post='928485' date='Aug 18 2010, 11:37 AM']is the 1000w tiny terror suitiable for gigging? a friend of mine thinks not, but the 1000w says yes. any thoughts? i'll buy one if it's okay![/quote] why wouldn't you be able to gig it?
  20. umph
    50 watt bassman + a 15 would be perfect tonewise!

    [quote name='TomTFS' post='928068' date='Aug 17 2010, 09:47 PM']Ashdown ABM 300 Evo II 325 watts of bass amp. Lots of EQ options, tube "grind" blend, sub octave. Can keep up with two very loud 100watt tube guitar amps and a silly-loud drummer. Only fault is the input gain knob has been replaced with a non official one. £300? Unnamed 2x12 cab, flightcased I don't know anything about this really, looks a bit like a Marshall 1922, very sturdily made. However I THINK it may be a bass cab as it is ported along the bottom. Unfortunately I know no more I'm afraid. Has "The Bogus Brothers" sprayed on the flightcase so it's been around a while. £130 for both? VHT 2x12 Cab Celestion vintage 30s, has pop out casters and a makeshift cover made from an old marshall one cut to size. Almost identical to a Mesa 2x12. Best sounding and most portable guitar cab I've seen. Looking for £280 or offers? Orange Tiny Terror Not convinced I want to sell this yet. Very loud for a guitar amp the size of a toaster. Gain Tone and Volume controls, switch for half power. Comes with official Orange case, and box and manuel. £250 ON HOLD Offers on everything. Trades possible but im not looking for much at the moment. Shipping not included I'm afraid.[/quote] any idea what speakers are in the unnamed cab, also a picture would be great!

    bump, i have pictures if you'd like them

    [quote name='tayste_2000' post='926641' date='Aug 16 2010, 04:26 PM']I guess an Orange AD200 But loosely and just going off history but really different beasts especially in quality.[/quote] new ad200 is very different to the old orange stuff. Circuit wise theres not a whole lot the gt200 is similar to thats on the market at the minute.

    [quote name='Moos3h' post='922820' date='Aug 12 2010, 02:51 PM']Hi all, I have for sale: 1 x Peavey Tour 450 Bass Amp Head - Boxed - Only ever been used in the rack so minor scratches from putting it in that, but that's it. Purchased 6 months ago so I presume still in warranty! FULL WORKING ORDER - Sounds massive - 450w into 4 ohms and 300wrms into 8ohms. LOADS of flexibility and seriously powerful. £250 SOLD x Behringer Rack Tuner and light - Not much more to say, fully working - good condition. £25 SOLD x Pulse 3u Rack Case (43cm deep) - this is full depth, not the shallow type - £30 - Good condition with one bolt replacing a rivet on the handle. Both covers and all clasps intact and in good condition 2 x Peavey Eurosys 3 15" Cabs loaded with Fane Sovereign 15" 600-LF speakers - I have customised these cabs to be bass guitar cabs but disconnecting the tweeter, removing the crossover and adding good sturdy rubber feet to both the side and bottom. I then re-soldered all connections. I am SO impressed with these cabs, they sound fantastic, largely down to the very efficient Fane speakers with LOTS of XMax so they really really push a massive amount of air. Rated at 600w. Both cabs are in the same condition however I have replaced the corners on one for metal versions. Dimensions are: 64cm high x 36.5cm deep x 45cm wide. Priced at £65 each or £120 for them both! I'd really rather not post this lot, however if you want me to at your risk and cost I can - I will consider a meetup for petrol costs so contact me to see what can be achieved! I will shortly be popping these on ebay, but would prefer a deal to a BC'er! Cheers, James[/quote] would have the cabs off you if you were a bit closer to sheffield! do you still have the crossvers etc?

    [quote name='Subthumper' post='925159' date='Aug 14 2010, 08:17 PM']Hi, it sounds like you've got a chip gone dud on you somewhere in the pre amp circuit. Not sure which ones the laney has but they dont cost much and if your lucky they'll be on chip sockets so should be easy to swap out. Dont forget to note which way round they're fitted. If you're in or near Bristol PM me, I run an amp repair business. Good luck cheers Just[/quote] hopefully that, sounds like somethings causing one to oscillate anyway. Best to bust out the signal generator etc and see where it's starting
