I recently bought PsychAndy's Yammy BB415, and passive, it was an excellent bass - but I like my actives, so I had Howard fit a U-Retro on it & a battery box, now a good bass is a great bass - in fact I jammed it the last two weeks at the Old Volunteer in Nottingham & there's a fair bit of interest in it & many compliments on the tone. As said above, go for thew JE first then decide. G.

[quote name='lowdown' post='1228878' date='May 12 2011, 02:47 PM']Here is the long version with the refrain at the start. Written straight out - IE no key signature. Its in the written key F minor [Ab] Watch out for the key change at the chorus. [attachment=79698:STREET_L...Bass_Gtr.pdf] Garry[/quote] God! That's impressive!!!! Saved out of Firefox - many thanks.

OK, on more research I've discovered that this is most likely a Peavey Scorpion. Comes in 2 parts - what's called the 'Basket, comprising of the frame, cone & coil, and the magnet which is kept on by 3 bolts. Remove bolts, lift of magnet, replace basket, coil & cone. But how/why/where/how much? Is there a Peavey dealer in Leicester or Nottingham? G.

We have a pair of Peavey Eurosys 500 XT cabs. (Each driver is 250W @ 4 Ohm) One of the drivers is blown - it sounds like a fuzz - it looks like a Black Widow I've seen in pics on Ebay, but I'm not sure. There's a sticker saying it's already a replacement basket. I have no experience with these. Question: Is it only the basket that ever goes wrong with these & how much are the replacements? Does the coil element ever go wrong? If so, how could you tell which component is dud? Would I be better just replacing it with a 15" 4 Ohm 250(ish)W if I can find one? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks. G.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1227693' date='May 11 2011, 04:02 PM']They look sweet actually, but I don't have the time/patience for international delivery really. I hate having stuff sitting in a depot for two weeks while they finish their biscuits and get around to billing you.[/quote] I've bought a lot of stuff from GFS & Jay usually gets stuff to me in 4 - 5 days by airmail. Great stuff at the price - I recommend the "Texas Specials". G.

[quote name='oldslapper' post='1227957' date='May 11 2011, 08:03 PM']Thanks to iPad and garageband, these are not being used. Nice little home recording package. Both in good condition and working fine except the MR8 doesn't have a battery compartment cover. Comes with 2GB flash card Come with PSUs for both. Instruction manual for the DR5 Web site spec for the Boss: [url="http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=115"]http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=115[/url] And the Fostex [url="http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/archive_products/MR-8.shtml"]http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/ar...ucts/MR-8.shtml[/url] Will be safely packed up.[/quote] I might be interested in the Fostex, but not the sequencer - might you split?

Has anyone got tabs/chords/bass tab - anything - for this? There's only one tab/chord set around - it's on all the sites & it's nowhere near adequate. G.

Not much point buying unless you can source the rest of the parts. G. -
May have a punt at this price.

I've sat within 5 feet of Guy Pratt at the Edinburgh Fringe when he was doing his entertaining thing with his '67(?) Fender, and being that close found it rattled quite alarmingly, but I bet you couldn't hear it from the amplified sound a few rows back. Didn't bother him a jot. G.

Does anyone here have a Yamaha RBX 774 or 775?

I think an abject apology to Marlin for hijacking the thread is overdue. Sorry, Mate. G. -

[quote name='he man812' post='1224577' date='May 8 2011, 09:58 PM']thanks for the reply! could this possibly work with the 774 since it has a switch selector instead of a rotary one? or does the problem not exist on that sorry that this is a bit of a struggle for me to understand since i only do novice electronics at school but I'm good at soldering I have read about a battery problem with the the 37* series and was wondering if this applied to the 77* series as well. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/yamaha-rbx374-battery-life-wtf-209227/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/yamaha-r...ife-wtf-209227/[/url] I am asking too many questions as I have recently acquired a 774 off ebay since I tried a 374 and loved the feel of it many thanks [/quote] I believe many of these were made with incorrect wiring at the jack socket which allowed the battery to drain, although I might stand corrected, as I seem to remember a possibility the pre had a manufacturing fault which required replacement. As for swapping the phase, if it sounds thin & nasally (everything set flat including amp), then try it - it can always be put back. G.
