I had a look at the Eminence website and they only do 10", bear in mind I'm looking for lightweight stuff only![/quote] have a look on the eminence site they've got clips of all their guitar speakers, my personal favorites are the mountain and swamp thang!

[quote name='dan670844' post='880953' date='Jun 29 2010, 01:51 PM']I just noticed something! A 12AX7 has higher gain and will distort sooner than a ECC83. Its all about personal preference. So if you want more of an overdriven sound go for Dereks 12AX7. If you want a very warm clean sound, tight lows, but with a reduced top end go for his Harma Retro (ECC83) he also does a Telefunken 7025 (i think STR) recreation which has a very flat response, if you want a bit more top end, its great for mic preamps this one. Just ask him.[/quote] 12ax7 is the american name for the ecc83 7025 is more similar to an ecc81 or 12at7 in gain. if you want less gain go for an ecc82 don't think they do any valves that have higher gain than a 12ax7 so if you want more gain i'd recomend modding the amp

welcome to the world of new valves! modern ones don't go through the same testing older ones do, i'd get a refund as that one was obviously faulty

hm-2 would be great for your needs if you can find it!

[quote name='lancastercomputers' post='878393' date='Jun 26 2010, 08:27 PM']which volume / tone pot will be best for a 6 string bass with passive pickups - 500K or 250K anybody... also a dual concentric pot - blend and balance 50 /100 / 250 or 500K im fooked if i know!! any ideas need to replace as the old ones are broke and im sure they are wrong anyway.. thanks for any feedback[/quote] how're they broke? you tried switch cleanering them?

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='873038' date='Jun 20 2010, 10:03 PM']They've gone through a lot of transformers on it, also with the recession a lot of suppliers have gone bust that were capable of offering what was required, but they have them now and man are they huge, like nothing I've ever seen, I suppose if you welded 2 partridges from 200w heads together you'd be getting close to size and weight. It will be really stunning when up and running.[/quote] Yeah they had to get a pair off john, you should see the iron on his 1000W amp it's ridic.

[quote name='daz' post='787310' date='Mar 26 2010, 07:40 PM']Watch it. a lead foot start could put that Hartke head amp through the back window of that Celica! I wish id taken a pic of my Volvo 940 (with boot not hatchback!) with this little lot crammed in it. I won the lot off ebay for £16, consisting of 12 small combo amps and 4 large PA cabs. Worked out at £1 per item!! Pictured below [/quote] doom

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='877899' date='Jun 26 2010, 01:38 AM']thanks for that guys, i just need to find some mullard worshiping guitar players then! [/quote] or some hifi nerds

someone got a bargain with the v8, very suprised they didn't go for more. maybe if they were better advertised, they'd have gone for more.

intresting playing style

84 is worth about 15quid others are about 2quid each

[quote name='Faithless' post='877246' date='Jun 25 2010, 11:23 AM']I did use headphones for practice for more than half a year, but, even being quite expensive, they're were too boomy, as I discovered after a few months.. Also, there's not that much clarity when practising with amp, as it is with headphones, so it's also an issue, that put me towards an amp.. Thirdly, practising with headphones for long periods, makes me tired a lot faster than practising with an amp, if you know, what I'm saying.. Wattabout amp boominess - it's on two chairs now, and a pillow is under it - I gotta admit, I can't feel the lack of low end.. I think, I'll need to practice with amp for a few more days, to get used to it, cuz now I can't fully concentrate on practice - it seems, that at the times the amp is too loud.. Thanks for input, guys, cheers Faith[/quote] you tried eqing the headphones? cut some low mids etc.

those little amps aren't gonna be low end monsters, try using some headphones.

should really take a picture of my amp pile

we tried to get sponsored by brawndo but it didn't work.
