fleabag

Never owned a Riccardo, but nowt against them. For any fans, the track below is from an album, ( yeeeup, released on Vinyl ) by some pals of mine. Jerry was the bassister on fretless Rick , fab player I shared a house with Jerry, and Dennis, the guitar wiz ... Vintage 57 Gold Top Les Paul no less They were a great band, if you like that sort of music, and the whole album is on YT.

The PJ headphones at £49 are only half price from PJ themselves, as Amazon sell them for £67.99 , but thats still nearly a £20 saving

Arggggh ! My bad - what was i thinking

Always is, ya never know. But the Vitoos 9v outlets are all 300 ma whereas the the Mooer 9v are all 100 ma. I know not many pedals require over 100 ma but who knows what gas i'll get in the future ? 300 ma would, i assume, cover just about anything 9v

Thanks mate but i've gone for the Vitoos, because the Mooer is £20 more just for that one 15v power. The Vitoos was £41 and i can live with having one extra power supply for the Wah

Then how are you going to build a bass if you aint not got any tools ?

Wah ! And its cheaper. Good post BT. Cheers ! Sod the HB jobbie Also just realised the HB does NOT have a 15v outlet, so my Californiwah will still have to have its own supply/plug

Very good sir

Messaged the seller and he says it come with a bottle of fretboard cleaner

This power brick looks intriguing ( proper isolation for the sockets ) and 500ma 12v 15v 18v options, and all 9v options are 300ma, which makes a change. Tested on Youtube and all was good, and HB speak the truth Trouble is, its own mains supply is a dodgy 2 pin plug, on a skinnier than skinny cable, ending in a barrel connector. I asked about cutting euro plugs off and fitting uk plugs in another thread ( RCF Sub ) but that cable from Italy had proper size 3 colour wires , blue / brown / green stripe, so was advised a uk plug would be fine, but this doesnt look like that can be done. Yes, 2 pin plugs can be stuck into a UK adaptor, but its nasty and cumbersome, and they usually wobble about. Not sure, so what to do ?

My pal plays jazz guitar, amongst other styles, and being a grade 8 teacher of guitar, i guess he knows whats what. He uses a Marshall AS50D, and leaves it at my place for impromptu jamming. Its a superb amp. Not expensive - think they can picked up for £100-£135

I would certainly go with Ped and Bass Apprentice choices. Cort make pretty good basses, and so do Sire. I've owned a Sire in the past. The Ibanez would also be a good choice, but a little more expensive, if you can stretch to 33,000 Rupees

£300 seems very reasonable for a pro to ply their skills. Thing is Mick, you say you dont have the tools so you're going to have to up your budget from the £300 course fee. You could buy second hand, and if you do, i would be asking Jabba, Christine, Andy, what makes to look out for, and which would be essential for the work

Maybe Andy was partially asleep at the time

I had a search of my Ebay purchases for the P bass neck i bought, which i sent to Andy JR on these forums to build a body. The neck was superb, and didnt need a thing doing to it. It wasnt expensive , around £70/£80 delivered ( cant remember exactly ) but it was from a UK seller. Trouble is, i can no longer find him. One's Ebay purchases dont seem to stay in the purchase list forever, so i cant be any more help with that particular guy

£53.79 is not the price you'll pay VAT is charged at 20% on goods sent from non-EU countries if they are worth more than £15. Customs duty at 2.5% is charged on items with a value between £135 and £630.

I smell a rodent

I also had the Superly, and mine was 99% brillant, but quite a few suffered from that high pitched digital clock whine, on one channel IIRC. Apparently there was nothing could be done. Possibly cheap Chinese components, but i bought mine 2nd hand so never got to debate with Ashdown about it. I also dumped the rediculous alloy outer casing. Save a fair bit of weight. Bill Fitzmaurice used to use one, or maybe still does

I thought Peavey took over TE ? Anyways - Ashdown bargains ?

Thats a fine looking axe right there, Rob. Great work

Oooh, bargain. Cheers Pedro

Its a shame Andertons dont follow the EBS policies.

So Jaco did it Frank's way ?

One more question .. The PA main/top end cabs are active, well one cab is, so it powers the other cab ( daisy chained ) The powered main/top cab also has a sub out socket, so one of the guys said we can run the sub off that sub out socket, but does that mean we'll have that powered cab powering the amp in the RCF sub ? I dont like the idea of one amp driving another amp.

Thanks chaps - great info and yes, lobbed the funny looking plug off the end, and it the same colour coded wires as UK, so, blue / brown / green stripe. So yes, its earthed and slapped a 5 amp in as advised. Work out with the band planned for next week, so we'll see how the woofie beast behaves
