[quote name='Timface' post='37363' date='Jul 26 2007, 03:18 PM']can someone explain to me what it is? and what it does?[/quote] You can adjust each mic's volume and tone to pull out the best sound onto the PA. A desk man also told me it increases your S/N ratio - but don't ask me why! Hamster

I found it near impossible to start with, but after following the 3 P's it all came good. Hamster

[quote name='Rayman' post='36958' date='Jul 25 2007, 06:03 PM']Superb little pedal. Big bottom end boost, big clear, crisp highs, it makes an average rig sound fantastic, and makes a great rig sound massive.[/quote] +1 on that Hamster

[quote name='skywalker' post='36893' date='Jul 25 2007, 02:57 PM']If the "This way up" was on the bottom then that is the senders issue, not the carrier. It still doesn't excuse playing football with it, but might be worth sending some photos to the sender and asking them for a comment. Steve[/quote] Steve - What I meant was that the 'This Way Up' sticker was correctly applied to the top of the package, but the delivery man put the box upside down in the hall so the sticker was 'on the bottom' I've had a good conversation with the sender and have some good photos of the amp before he packaged it, all of them show the amp to be in a good and not smashed to bits condition. Hamster

Well, a -1 for Interparcel, or should I say UPS who actually handled it. I just received a well-packaged Mesa Boogie amp that they had obviously used as a football. Circuit board had come off its mountings, 7 valves smashed and quite a lot of damage to the cabinet/tolex. The box was plastered with 'Fragile' and 'Delicate Electronic Circuitry' stickers. When I got home from work my wifey had signed for it and because it's heavy they put it in the hallway for her. It was of couse upside down, no doubt due to the very large 'This Way Up' sticker on the bottom. I had the foresight to take out additional insurance, and am proceeding with the damage claim at the moment. Hamster

[quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='36598' date='Jul 24 2007, 10:28 PM']Well I finally had to replace one of these today, they've lasted between 1&1/2 to 2 times the length of a duracell, and at half the cost. Heartily recommended.[/quote] +1 - Still on my first one after 2 months of daily practice. Hamster

Hello and welcome Gaz Have a good look around and get busy posting some pictures of your rig There's a wealth of knowledge here and if you need help with anything ask away. Hamster

[quote name='flip' post='36383' date='Jul 24 2007, 02:33 PM']Hello! Right then, I've scoured this site and many others for the relevant information and drawn a blank, so here we go: I have been after a black scratchplate for my Jazz for ages, but being the awkward import it is, most 'standard' fits won't do the job and I really don't want to pay loads to get a custom one made up. Anyways, it's like the second bass down on [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.php?f=data_fender_japan_new_guitars&a=4"]this page[/url], if anyone knows where I can score said plate then I would be most greatful. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by kinda posting this bit twice, if so then I'm sorry! Thanks in advance, P.[/quote] Have you tried here - [url="http://www.simscustom.com/html/scratchplate_files/scratchplates.html"]simscustom[/url] Custom made but not too expensive? Hamster

Hello Phil and welcome to the new site! Have a look around some of these websites to try and find a scratchplate [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=248"]parts sticky[/url] Cheers Hamster

[quote name='ped' post='36361' date='Jul 24 2007, 01:36 PM']hi matey no its only a tenner for five days of tv, phone and internet which is really good! cant read hotmail etc but as long as basschat is rocking... it looks great on this little screen, too! cheers mate ped p.s just had a walk around and feeling pretty good. had a row of usb/midi/di connectors installed in my spine too, with a full pod xt pro shell. i hope the dont upgrade it again any time ssoon![/quote] Glad to hear you're ok - Did they put the trussrod adjuster in your neck or coccyx? Hamster

A tricky puzzle Sir Robin All could be good, but a test drive is imperative as you might find one or more just as uncomfortable as the Warwick. A +1 for Dood's suggestion about having a good look at UK luthier's stock. Hamster

Hello Jim - good to see you here. You'll find a few other members in your neck of the woods. Hope you don't have any problems with the flooding where you are! Hamster

Cheers - added

Updated - cheers

Prefer to use fingers, but use a pick when the song dictates it. Hamster

I now have the bass in my sweaty mitts I looked at a couple of scratchplate sellers on ebay but they state "These Stingray scratchplates will not fit Sub4's or OLP's etc..." I thought the SUB4 and Stingray scratchplates were the same? - Anyone had experience? Hamster

As well as all those previously posted, I don't know quite what it is about it, but Barry White's 'You're My First, My last, My Everything' is such a catchy song with a simple bass line. When played at functions it's a floor-filler and makes me feel good either listening to it or playing it. Hamster

You can pick up a used MIM Jazz for £275 ish. OLP Tony Levin, Musicman Sub4 or Yamaha BB414 are all excellent used buys. I [u]very [/u]strongly recommend sitting down and playing with these basses (or any others you have a GAS attack for) before making a choice. You will be (for example) much better off buying a £120 Squier Jazz that is really comfortable in your hands than spending £300 on a MIM Precision that doesn't feel right for you. Hamster

[quote name='eude' post='35373' date='Jul 21 2007, 08:34 PM']Hey guys, I've not had any luck selling this amp on here. I've been offered £200 trade in for it, it seems a bit low, to me, any thoughts? Cheers, Eude[/quote] Noooooooooo! - that's too low. Absolute bottom dollar price has got to be £250. A well written and presented ad on ebay should produce £275 - £300 for it. If you're desperate to sell it start it at £275 or put that on as a reserve price. Hamster
