[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1504879491' post='3368008'] It's a Radiovox valve amp. 2 of them were made back in the 60s as part of a sound system, one for each channel. My brother has the other one. Sounds lovely with the bass, but it is 33.4kgs. [/quote] Cheers - love the look, very '50s sci-fi spaceship console. I was looking at a McIntosh 3500 on eBay recently, 55.7 Kg!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1504699841' post='3366666'] Oh, I don't know about that... [url="https://flic.kr/p/RBGMAi"][/url] It sounds the biz too. [/quote] Ooh lovely! What is that..?

My recently acquired Olive Ash '86 MK I. In excellent condition, bought from the original owner. Still has the Bass Centre sticker on the back of the headstock

I'm tempted to try this via my Trace GP11 + power amp sending <250 Hz to my Greenboy Dually 215, and >250 Hz to an Ampeg 2x10. Would love to try it with a Greenboy Crazy 88 atop the Dually though

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1503318761' post='3357126'] I may have an unused panel mount XLR connector you can have, probably Neutrik. Is it male or female? [/quote] That's very kind, thanks MoonBassAlpha! It's female. But let me see if I can get the old one off first, as it appears to be involve much shenanigans to remove - will let you know after back from holiday mid-Sept. Cheers! PS Just spotted that's my 200th post, quite fitting that it should involve a 'thank you' to a member of this wonderful community

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1503090147' post='3355708'] wd40 do make a contact cleaner but servisol is the best [/quote] Yes, sorry - that's what I meant, the WD-40 'Specialist fast drying contact cleaner' variant. A good scrub has made things a bit better, but I suspect its the wobbly rear tab (the one nearest in the photo, with the loose glue) that is causing the hum problem/lack of volume. May need to swap out the whole connector, and maybe try and somehow save the green input socket 'cos it looks cool
-
Great bargain! I have 3 presets when using with my P: Motown, B15, and 'Yes', all from the manual. I just need to normalise the volume between them to avoid sudden swells and dips between songs. Handy having the two inputs if you want EUB/U-bass and electric bass available for the same set, each would have their own 3 presets.
-
OK, after opening the case and giving the connectors a good clean with WD-40 contact cleaner, I get a signal, albeit quite crackly. Seems to be the female XLR connector itself causing the crackles, because the jack input is soldered to the rear tabs of the XLR and there's no noise when playing through the jack. Now to find a thin pipe cleaner to scrub away the remaining crackle!
-
Thanks TheGreek - they have the Series 5 manual but not the early XLR one. Looks like I can go in from the side so will give that a go and post the results.
-
I have an early GP11 with the extra XLR input. Whilst the regular jack input works fine, I just get a faint hum when plugging either a Wal or a mic into the XLR. Possibly a loose connection - it's mounted on the front, can anyone please recommend how to access it? Is it simply removing the back and sides of the case, or should I be unscrewing everything from the front (including the EQ sliders)? Many thanks!

[size=4]Brilliant, thank you! All lovely but the Morocco red is my fav [/size]

I have a GP11 pre into a Behringer iNuke 2-channel power amp - there's a split output on the GP11 (crossover at 250Hz), which I must admit I've not tried in anger, but could allow splitting between e.g.1x15 & 2x10 with each channel. But for now I just bridge it into a Greenboy Dually 2x15, which sounds ace with a Limelight P bass. I'd really like a Trace RA600 for the look, though!

[quote name='Clipps' timestamp='1498565288' post='3325535'] Good news! I found my Capri Orange Now let's hunt down the beautiful Yellow [/quote] Lovely! Any chance of a pic of all the basses together please?

I sold Miguel an Xotic XP-1T (from the UK to Spain) - Miguel was very communicative throughout, payment was made quickly, and I received a lovely thank you email when it arrived! UK sellers can deal with confidence, gracias Miguel! Kev

I sold Mike a Noble preamp and it was a perfect transaction: friendly, communicative and fast payment. Highly recommended, many thanks Mike

Superb, congratulations Rob! Bet it sounds as good as it looks... (Incidentally, whenever I drive my cats to the vet I crawl along, avoiding sharp steering and speed bumps - if I was collecting one of these Wals I'd probably hire a guy with a red flag to walk in front of the car )

[color=#ff0000]*SOLD*[/color] [b]For sale only[/b]: Noble Preamp, £800. No trades thanks One of these: [url="http://nobleamps.com/preamps/"]http://nobleamps.com/preamps/[/url] - a gorgeous valve preamp, Jensen DI and power supply for your pedals. This one has 5 9v and one 12v power outputs - I use the 12v for a Markbass Compressore valve compressor, which is also for sale. [b]Reviews:[/b] Basschat thread here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/296744-noble-preamp-any-bc-owners/"]http://basschat.co.u...-any-bc-owners/[/url] including a great review and clips from TKenrick [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/296744-noble-preamp-any-bc-owners/page__view__findpost__p__3251582"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__3251582[/url] . Plus some clips from me if you dare! Also well-reviewed loads on Talkbass. [b]Condition:[/b] Fully working, gigged twice for a total of four hours. Excellent cosmetic condition. I've added a velcro strip for stability but can remove that (carefully!) if you like. Bought in January 2017, and comes with a ten-year transferable warranty. I found Jack Roan, the Noble owner and manufacturer, to be an absolute gentleman and very easy to deal with. Also comes with the power lead, power patch leads for pedals, owner's leaflet, box, stickers [b]Selling because:[/b] It's all hands to the pump for my dream bass acquisition!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1499003935' post='3328489'] My fear is that you may be right. Fortunately the new Elf is very reasonably priced so, at worst, I've bought a cheap, small home amp. [/quote] Indeed, and tbh I'd consider it for that. But I just wouldn't trust it to stay in place for a gig, even my Bass Terror at approx. 5Kg gave me cause to panic a few times when movement caused it to creep to the cab edge...

[color=#ff0000]**NOW SOLD, MANY THANKS**[/color] [b]Forsale only:[/b] Xotic XP-1T in full working order and very good cosmetic condition. Superb build quality and tonal variety. [b]Price:[/b] £1100 No trades this time thanks [b]Specifications:[/b] As per the spec sheet, except the current strings are Fender Nickle Steel rounds. [b]Playing condition:[/b] Full working order, no issues. [b]Cosmetic condition:[/b] Generally excellent, a small scuff on side of fretboard (see pic) and a tiny scratch on the back side of the right horn which I struggled to capture on camera. Some small light marks on the headstock. Minor scuffing on pickguard, only visible to me when I hold it up to the light. One of the back control cavity screws was missing so I replaced it, albeit with a chrome screw rather than black. Full picture gallery here: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/133089969@N07/albums/72157683765226361"]https://www.flickr.c...157683765226361[/url] [b]How it performs:[/b] Classic P growl and thump of course, but with the active 18V preamp and mid/treble dip switches you have a huge variety at your fingertips. The string-through option really does make a difference here! More bite and sustain The build quality is sheer class, from the rock solid bridge and tuners, tight neck pocket and bolts and those lovely wooden pup covers....and the luminous fingerboard and side dot markers really help on a dark stage! [b]Width at nut:[/b] 41 mm. [b]Weight:[/b] A touch over 4.1 Kg according to the usual kitchen/bathroom scales average. [b]Comes with:[/b] An Xotic gig bag so good and multi-pocketed that you could probably live in it for a temporary period. Tough as boots and has some marking to show it (see pics) but all zips attached and working. Strung with Fender nickle rounds and I will provide some flats as well (not sure of the brand but they're nice) [b]History:[/b] It has Basschat previous! My purchase here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/304186-xotic-xp-1t-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...tic-xp-1t-sold/[/url] ...and it also appears here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/293531-traded-xotic-xp-1t-4-string-sunburst-precision-bass/"]http://basschat.co.u...precision-bass/[/url] I've gigged it three times since purchase. [b]Reason for sale:[/b] GAS for THE big one for me, and it's all hands to the pump unfortunately - and this is [u]far[/u] too good for backup [b]Where it be:[/b] Tonbridge, Kent, approx. 20 mins from J5 M25. Collection/trial welcome. [b]Postage:[/b] Say £25 insured for UK but I'll refund any difference following quote. I always pack very carefully Feedback in my signature. Cheers! Kev
