    Broken component in the power supply that supplies the preamp. I have used one of these, it is just as fine as every other ashdown. This is broken.

    Its a straight TRS cable with a twisted pair and shield. Any one will work, but obviously boss are going to sell their own.

    £45 for the logo and £5 for the bass?

    People still seem to like mustang sally, pubs still have bands, and young people like to see the bands while filming each other with their phones. Middle aged and older (ie, people who remember a pub scene in the 70s!) still go to pubs.

    Wow - more than a dollar?

    Isn't it just one of the pickups of the gretsch g220 that he actually made his name with but is to cheap to make much money from?

    Import costs are not bad really. If you wanted to buy a bass in 2015, if it cost £1000 that would have been €1430. Now that would be €1,158+20% vat, that would be €1389, cheaper than it used to be from your direction!

    I suppose if you either made it hollow (not sure how you would do that) or made it thinner it would be less weight. Not sure the headstock is adding too much weight. Also shape - if you went for a steingburger shape you could probably get it down quite a bit.. Oh.. look at that - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32859958210.html

    Well, that would be lighter if it is hollow!

    s'funmny - I was going to say they are going to be the new Sue Ryders!

    There aren't going to be any < 10lb acrylic basses.

    you could always play the original

    Ooh looking forward to mine now. When I got my wrongo from china, that is how it came, polystyrene wrapped in plastic. I think it makes the packing cheaper

    Yeh, it would be two cabs with the same signal - if you want stereo / bi-amping you would presumably want two amps.

    Yeh, forgot to mention I have had 3 gibsons - Darkfire, EB5 and The Paul and still have the latter. The Paul was something I wanted when I was 18, but I couldn't get the money (£320) together. But when I told the guitarist in my current band he said 'oh I have one' so I bought it off him for not much more than that. A bit tattier, but it is 45 years old (although according to him it was immaculate until 5 years ago when he gave it to his brother).

    ABM1200? It doesn't go to 2 ohms, its just to ABM600s power sections in the same box, each power section is the same as the ABM600s power section, and each has an output that can go down to 4 ohms.

    I know a lot of guitarists using Gibson. They are a fairly useless company but their guitars are fairly ubiquitous despite that.

    At the time I was looking for a darkfire control box - the darkfire had been disconued (I had one) and the dusktiger had the same electronics. Some things are rare as everyone hung on to theirs. Some are rare as noone bought them!

    I didn't even know there was a stereo mono switch let alone accidently setting it to anything else - it never moved. The only thing the thing that is an issue is forgetting to turn it off.

    I went in Gibsons shop in Nashville a few years back (before the opening of their 'garage') - and it was interesting in that it had a lot of gibsons, and it was the only place I ever saw a dusk tiger (urghh) and a Firebird X but as @cetera says, you wouldn't actually buy anything from there - the prices are fixed at the RRP that gibson puts on their site, there probably isn't a shop in the word selling gibsons at those prices but obviously because they are Gibson, they can't undercut themselves.

    I took it apart before and couldn't work out what the problem was!
  22. Woodinblack
    Mine is still in customs!
  23. Woodinblack
    Thats a bit ominous!
  24. Woodinblack
    currently not on the site - I have missed a few things that I would have got because of that, but maybe that is a good thing!

    Tent in the garden?
