    Fender have a 2 year warranty - check your dates as you may be lucky. I had a Fender Nate P from around the same period that developed a truss rod issue - seems that it was eating into the wood inside the neck when it was investigated - and the neck was replaced under warranty (just a month before it expired) with no problem. And I've since heard of at least 2 others having the same thing in the USA - i wonder if its from the same series/source and theres a batch issue?

    For Sale WITHDRAWN EBS TD660 bass amp Bought new in November 2017 and has a transferrable warranty up to 6 years for peace of mind (receipts available). Great condition and in a Gator case. Now discontinued so they will become hard to find (there are a few kicking about new at over ££1400 in Europe but nothing i can find in the UK at the moment). I'm selling it because i seem to have accumulated 4 amps and i really only need 2 660 watts with a proper power section it and runs down to 2 ohms if you need it to Selectable valve preamp/drive section, built in top quality transparent compressor (one of the best i've used) and a notch filter for difficult rooms. Not a class D amp so it has proper heft and slam - can be gnarly or clear and has real weight to the notes. Its an absolute beast pro level amp. You're welcome to come and try it at home or i can use it at a gig if you're nearby and want a proper idea of what its like at volume in a band setting. And i'm not posting it so its meet up or collection only sorry. Happy to drive a bit for a meet by arrangement. I'm regularly around Essex/Herts/Kent/Suffolk/London and M25 area. I really don't need anything as an exchange but you're welcome to try me, you never know... :-) Actually i quite fancy a Warwick Streamer of some sort - maybe a Jazzman? - so drop me a line if that works for you..... Here's some useful links - http://ebssweden.com/content2/ebs-td660/ https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/EBS-TD660-Tube-Definition-Bass-Amp-Head-B-Stock/223J https://www.musik-produktiv.co.uk/ebs-td660.html

    When the company went under they were all sent to an auction house in Scotland and sold there at about £8/9 each!!!! Thats why they were so cheap on eBay - most of the people that bought them to sell on were just resellers who didn't really know how good they were....

    The Gator Pro Go bags are excellent - loads of storage and great protection and as Paul S says above the TGI Extremes are brilliant value for money - i use both. But the best value at the moment are these on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Blake-Bravo-Bass-Guitar-Case-Brand-New/253660672423?hash=item3b0f5ab1a7:g:jsIAAOSwWfdbEEvn (its a manufacturer thats gone under but a load of resellers picked remaining stock up at auction and are moving them on - theres nothing around for under £80 that will touch them)
  8. Mudpup
    absolutely this...i discovered them a few years ago and they're so simple

    This was my first festival experience - some fab bands such as UFO, Pat Travers, early Maiden, Gillan with John McCoy on bass, Budgie, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Slade subbed for Ozzy and stole the show and one of my own obscure favourites Girl played a Sunday afternoon slot. Happy Daze....

    Imagine the potential minefield if you'd bought it and it went a bit wonky... Possibly dodged a bullet there :-)

    Just sold a rack tuner to Chris - absolute doddle and totally recommended!!!! Cheers Bud!

    Nope it sounds fine to me..... Although I do leave it on all the time and have a bypass patch set up if I need it off. I use it to scroll thru patch settings with the bypass patch in between each effect so always come out into a clean sound. Like this.... Bypass>Chorus>Bypass>Compressor>Bypass>Ampeg

    Agreed, the MS60B is a gem. Easy to use and packed with great sounds. I use a Diago Micropower and havent had any noise or tonesuck issues.
  14. Mudpup
    I have one of the ProGo cases and completely agree - its excellent....... And i also picked up one of these recently because they were such a dumb price - its 90% as good as the Gator (a bit bigger inside though which may work better for you) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Blake-Bravo-Bass-Guitar-Case-Brand-New/253660672423?hash=item3b0f5ab1a7:g:jsIAAOSwWfdbEEvn

    Just grabbed a set of strings from Pawel in a smoother than a shaved sealion style transaction..... Thanks very much Pawel!
  16. Mudpup
    I'll have them if thats ok......Paypal ok?
  17. Mudpup
    yup, this....... But if you need a really sparkly zingy sound you'll need a preamp in front of it - it's naturally a tiny bit treble shy imho. Fantastic bit of kit though - it seems to dodge the class D 'gets louder but loses the heft' as you turn them up. It has oodles of clean muscle available and a really good eq section as long as you spend 15 minutes understanding what the 2 knobs do. I love mine.......

    I've had a TC BG500 combo (same head as your amp i think), a GK MB500 Fusion (sort of similar to anMB800) and also an ABM600 evo4. And i play a Stingray too. I too found the TC very bland sounding, sort of lifeless and a bit flat. I tried the newer BH heads too and thought they had a similar sort of sound so they weren't for me. But i liked a Staccato 51 head that i used at a festival recently - that had some wallop about it. The Gallien was very good in an aggressive kind of way but i thought it fell into the class D trap of losing impact as you turned it up. Could get bloody loud but in a shouty fashion rather than trouser flapping. I've had a bunch of class D amps (inc MarkBass and Genz Benz) and found i cant get on with them at gig volumes because they lose their thump (until i discovered my Quilter BB800 - thats a whole different bag of fish!) The Ashdown will blow the others into the weeds imho. It has a serious heft about it but can sparkle too and is a very versatile bit of kit - way better than other ABM's that i've tried which all seemed a bit mushy sounding. The trick with it is to use your ears to eq it rather than your eyes - don't be scared to crank the knobs and sliders and disengage the scoopy button. The valve drive adds a bit of fruit to the sound, i wasn't fussed about the compressor and i thought the sub thing wasn't much use in the real world. And it works great with a Stingray - it's a huge sounding combination. I moved it on for something different but i would cheerfully have another one......

    How about wedging a few rubber amp feet type things under the lower part of the amp to prop it up a bit in the case? That should help if you're concerned.... Sort of like these http://www.terralec.co.uk/feet/rubber_foot_with_screws_4_pack/30987_p.html#

    I have recently picked up a Quilter BB800 and am now 6 gigs into using it. Its a brilliant little amp and so unlike all the other class D ones i've had. It has a weight and evenness across each of the strings and is incredibly loud if required. You just have to learn the eq section - its very intuitive once you understand it. Well worth a look.....

    Can u pop his email address up on here so we can all send him a few hundred emails, sign him up for a few sites and maybe share it about a bit 😉That'll keep him busy

    Gain at levels over about number 7 kicks in the limiter - this makes it sound a bit 'saggier' and thicker. Sort of valvier if thats your thing but not fuzzy. Keep the gain down below that and push the master volume and it cleans up the sound.
