Music Ground on Oxford Road, Manchester is rubbish too. Looking on eBay now, £1700 for a Ric 4003? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150282792550) "At this time rickenbacker are quoting circa 6-12 months on new orders and based on this schedule do expect interest in above being strong" Does this justify almost doubling the price?

Erm, the item belongs to the seller and as such he/she can do whatever they like, including not selling the item

David Sims and John Tumor

We've played a few where we've been kicked off after 1 or 2 songs, normally due to being banned from the venue from previous incidents... The best one was playing in a local Conservative club. Some punk band asked us to play the "headline" slot. The house PA was some tiny 100W carslboro system, so we turned up with our own 500W PA. Accompanied by 300W of bass, 150W of guitar and a loud drummer, this did not go down well with the regular punters in the other bar and the neighbour who called the police because pictures were falling off the walls We did not get asked back to play again.

Depends on the crowd...

Do they actually plan on selling any at that price?

I really need to put this through a loud amp see how it [i]really[/i] sounds, practicing in a bedroom just doesn't cut it

A modified cable should be pretty easy to put together.

Awesome. Cheers dude

Yeah it's Maplin prices haha. So the overall impedance won't be affected?

My 210 practice cab is 4 ohm and I want to wire a tweeter into it. How will I go about this - series or parallel, and will it affect the overall impedance? The speakers are wired in parallel. Specifically this tweeter: [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=3263&&source=14&doy=13m8"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Module...14&doy=13m8[/url]

Worth it if you like the look and you need a replacement bridge. Tone-wise you won't notice any difference.

I used them for about 2 months before some gigs came up and I stuck some new ones on Ideal for boiler £1 for postage. Cheers.

Any pics? I wana see this bizarre routing

PM us your address mate.

So, a while ago I bought a load of parts and put them together MightyMite Jazz bass neck Wizard "Thumper" pickup Passive wiring with CTS pots, switchcraft jack, Orange drop caps (0.1uF total). Fender tuning keys Gotoh bridge Straplocks Strings: 50-110 Elites The body used to be sunburst and was in a bit of a state. Sanded down and after a few extra routes/fills, refinished in satin black (I got bored of shiny finishes ) Pictures (camera phone atm sorry):

Almost 6 metres blue guitar/mic cable, 6mm diameter. No end connectors, 2 signal wires, 1 shield wire. Free to anyone or it gets binned.

Guitar players get their tone by exceeding xmax, and being able to do so in the midrange is why guitar drivers have small xmax values. Exceeding [b]xlim[/b] OTOH has disastrous consequences.[/quote] This value is probably what I meant the shape of the waveform does not matter.

I am still going by the argument that the speaker does not care what shape the waveform is, as long as the mechanical limit (Xmax) of the speaker is not exceeded.

Not only that, but they are variable speed. The warmer the amp gets, the faster they go so if you notice that don't worry it's normal too.

I wouldn't worry too much about it being 4 or 8ohm, the ABM410 is nice and loud either way Have you tried contacting Ashdown? They will sell you replacement parts directly.
