Black Pearl? Abalone? Another black pearl?

Another possibility is the way the leads are wired. I had this problem and found a couple of XLR to XLR leads were wired wrong. With a 3 pin XLR you have screen, centre hot and centre cold, each to their own pin. Someone had wired the centre cold to the screen pin, which made an earth loop. You also get XLR - jack leads where the screen and centre cold are wired together, result - earth loop.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='299137' date='Oct 4 2008, 09:22 AM']I know that the Aria one benefits in as much as you can take the body frame apart for easy storage/transport. I must say I am slightly confused by his payment terms (in bold at the end of the listing)... is the bass £150 or £160? [/quote] Something fishy about his blurb about payments. What's this ebay policy about ebay not releasing the funds to me until you have received them and left me positive feedback? - Surely that can't be right??

+1 on OBBM - send him a PM

There's a sort of fault-finding guide here that might be of some use. It's for guitars, but the principle is the same. [url="http://www.guitarnuts.com/technical/electrical/trouble/strat.php"]http://www.guitarnuts.com/technical/electr...ouble/strat.php[/url]

A big +1 on DR strings. Sunbeams, Fatbeams and Hi-Beams are all really supple and a pleasure to play with.

By searching through - members - newest joiners, you can see the spammer / spambot is still creating accounts to get in. I wish I was better at computing type things because I want to launch a DOS attack at their IP! (or something like that )

I've put Sunbeams on the Stingray, and Fatbeams on the Sub4. I'm really loving the Sunbeams Maybe it's my ears but the bass sounds louder. I read DR's blurb about their string's metal content giving better output - maybe they're right? I'm getting the exact range of sound sound I want - very satisfied. The only way to describe the Fatbeams is that they're a stainless steel Sunbeam - all the warmth and lovliness but with a bit more treble.

Welcome back Chris - there are some basses for sale somewhere.................

Another one just appeared in repairs/tech- reported to mods
