Thanks for the suggestion. True the T900 doesn't have the bass boost, I'd have to upgrade to a 1000 for that. They're just under £1,200 new or thereabouts.🤪 I know nothing about EBS other than watching a couple of Eich head reviews which mention them. I'll have a look.

Thanks, my backup amp is the Puma 900! It doesn't have the bass boost though?

Hi, I'm a long term member here but been inactive for a few years as basically I've been happy with my rig and basses and not had any GAS! My go to head is a Tecamp Puma 1000 which I use with two Barefaced 1x12 cabs. The head played up a few years ago and would just cut out. I ended up sending it back to Tecamp but even they couldn't sort it out. I eventually got it repaired by a tec in the North East (I live North West) and it's been fine since.....until last week when it did the same thing. Everything remains lit etc, just the signal disappears (or in this case didn't even appear when the amp was switched on). So I think I've got to the time where I have to think about replacing it. There's nothing worse than your amp failing half way through a song, it's just so unprofessional. The only thing is I have no idea what to get to replace it? I don't use any pedals, my style is finger and I play a Precision and a Ric. Classic sounds depending on the songs....mainly covers, but I do write and record with an originals band, but that tends to be DI'd. What are you using.....I know sound/tone is a personal thing, I particularly liked the bass boost on the Tecamp as you could get solid bottom end without being mega loud. We usually play with just back line, it doesn't usually go through a p.a. (pub/club gigs etc). Grateful for any suggestions, thank you.

Hi, I wondered if anyone has experience of these basses and can tell me where they sit in terms of tone and playability compared with a Precision (which I have) and a Jazz (which I had). They seem to be discontinued and hard to get hold of, and an original would be out of my budget. I just fancy one to be honest, I play in a 60s band amongst other things? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

It must have been one of those urban myths. I can't find anything to support the theory, thanks for clearing that up for me!

Brilliant clip! Wasn't this band put together by Paul Morley to prove that hit music could be "manufactured"? Opened the floodgates.

I got the latch from the States. It cost about £14 and the same again in postage and only took about a week. Now I can't figure how to remove the inlay which protects the bass in its case to access the screws which hold the handle in place! I've emailed SKB and they say you just have to prise it out, it's held with a bit of glue! I'll let you know how I get on!

Hey Pineweasel, I had a look and I would say that the exact part I need is listed. It's a handle attached to a locking latch, I just need to make sure it's the same dimensions and figure out how to remove it and install the new one. Thanks very much!
