Mesa Subway d800+ repair and replacement parts
columbusrobbie replied to columbusrobbie's topic in Repairs and Technical
Sincere thanks to Chris @Beedster, Steve @Steve Browning and Andy @agedhorse for your input on this. Amp now booked in for diagnosis and repair (hopefully) with Stan/Surrey Amps. Will come back and update in due course. Best regards. -
Mesa Subway d800+ repair and replacement parts
columbusrobbie replied to columbusrobbie's topic in Repairs and Technical
Cheers @Beedster 👍 In fairness to Mesa, that was the position 4-5 months ago when my saga started and it may well have changed in the meantime. Certainly hope so. I will contact them again and hope Andy does drop by too. I’ve only just retrieved the (unrepaired) amp back so I am effectively starting over. For now though, I have an expensive paperweight sat in the corner of the room. At least it isn’t taking up any space to really speak of. -
Does the collective wisdom have any suggestions or advice for a broken amp? Apparently Mesa won’t release schematics for these and there are no approved repairers in the UK at present. The head has been looked at by a former authorised repairer as once listed on the Mesa website. Broken treble and master volume controls have been diagnosed but spares unavailable to him. When it first happened, and prior to getting it looked at here, I contacted Mesa who were helpful up to a point but were effectively only offering a factory diagnosis and possible repair. Is this really my only option? Has anyone had similar and found an easier route to resolution? Cheers in advance.

I bought Phil’s Mesa Subway D800+ and ultra lite cab. Phil is a gent and, as has been said by others, an absolute pleasure to deal with. A reassuring, swift and easy transaction.

Long scale, I'd imagine, according to the La Bella website. They say 37" from ball-end to silk. Google is your friend: - [url="http://www.labella.com/products/760fx/"]http://www.labella.com/products/760fx/[/url] -
Somehow missed spotting this previously George. I'm a sucker for blocks and binding, so have a "Oh my, that is sweet!" bump on me.

columbusrobbie replied to Sambrook's topic in Basses For Sale
Congrats for the quick sale. Any chance the heading could be updated to indicate SOLD, Provisionally Sold or On Hold??? Cheers. -
Bought a Bear Leather guitar strap off Paul. Good comms and arrived really quickly and in fantastic condition. Well packed etc. A super-smooth transaction. Really happy with my purchase. As above, would happily deal with Paul again. Cheers Paul. All the best. - Rob

Cheers Paul. Further PM sent

Yep, I think that comment may well have sowed the seed of doubt that I really don't need another one in my life right now However, have a "[i]darn it Tredders, just when I thought my mind was made up you go and reduce the price[/i]" bump on me .... -
Tredders kindly rearranged his schedule tonight to enable me to check out the Jack Casady. In a rare head over heart moment I decided to pass on the JC for the time being while I wrestle with the idea of adding a third semi acoustic to my collection. It's a sweet bass and any buyer would be extremely pleased with their purchase. I also took the opportunity to check out the Takamine and this, too, is lovely. As above, anyone looking for one of these would be a very happy purchaser. It is mint. I didn't dare try the Jazz for fear of walking away with another for the fleet. All pics and the descriptions by Tredders above are bang on the money. He's also the perfect host - great coffee! Cheers Tredders. Good luck with the sale(s) ............and you might yet get a call from me re: the JC

All good here cheers Bob. I'm one very happy bunny with the P bass. It's had a few outings now and I'm totally converted. It's just so comfortable to play. Glad to hear things will definitely pick up next month. Still haven't checked out those local dates. Sorry. Will be in touch -
A [b][i]sign of the times?/hope better times come very soon[/i][/b] bump. Bob's a top bloke and a totally trustworthy seller. You're guaranteed a fair and honest description and in any event, this is a bargain of the first degree!!! Hope things pick up soon Bob.

Just bought Bob's CIJ 62 P-Bass and have to concur with all the positive comments made so far. He's the real deal and, based on my own experience, I'd say go ahead and buy from him/deal with him in complete confidence. A really nice guy who was extremely easy to deal with. I was overwhelmed by just how good the condition of this bass is in, such was Bob's critical eye in his description of it in the ad. This meant there were no nasty surprises upon seeing it, especially having commited myself to buying it. That's no bad thing in my view and simply means you don't need to think twice when dealing with him. Cheers Bob. As you know, I am very happy with this bass and with the transaction. I hope the feedback reflects this. All the best matey. - Rob
