fleabag

I can tell you that at one gig, just prior to going on, my amp " died " We then spent the next half hour eliminating all we could. We never found the answer. All cables and settings were fine, as were power supplies. When i got back home, i plugged the amp into different cabs and it was fine. Turned out the amp went into self protection mode, and the culprit was the speakon sockets on one of my MB cabs at the gig. Just a thought ..

There ya go Dov...easy peasy

I'll take a guess ....oooh, nah i give up ?

I doubt it Some choices here. If only people gave real info when they want answers

We dont know that because he didnt say and he has more than one bass for sale, but yes if locked, contact a mod as you say

Cant you just bump it ?

My condolences Mick

Yes, we all like a bit of relief 🤓

All looking good from my perspective

I said maybe it was BS. Seems it was

But there is. 2 of them

Your Aria looks superb mr Teebs

From what i remember, pickups that are designed from the factory to be used with a preamp usually have a lower output than pickups designed with passive electronics. The active preamp boosts the output, so the pickups can be wound with less output. Basses with passive electronics tend to have higher output because there's no active preamp to boost them. That could be total BS though

Likewise

I had a Gen 1 S7, and loved it for a while ( new bass excitement ) but after a while, i couldn't get the tone i wanted out of it. Couldn't say whether it was pups or preamp , but i'm leaning towards the preamp. It was moved, anyways

I see Jesus Message incoming..

Helluva tool ya got there Andy

Big fan of TT here. Its My Life and Colour Of Spring have sat in my collection since around '87. Unique band, almost un-pigeonholable. Hollis was a fab song writer and one of the most easily recognisable voices in music. Very sad

Indeed it is, but he's willing to take offers, so it may not even go for the start price. I think someone would have a bid on it. How much is the pickup, assuming they can still be bought ?

@Andyjr1515 Andy is working with Sapele right now - so Andy, can you stand the smell - what are we talking here...rotten eggs ?

Humble, compared to some of the Apollo flight desks here

Its like watching Merlin Carry on sah ..

Great info Phil, cheers. yes i'm the same with the EQ on my amp and previous amps. I dont boost 50hz or below

Oooh i've done that at home a few times. Bound to happen at a gig at some point

I know it was mentioned long ago in this thread but curiosity has me asking. Since there aren't many commercial cabs that tune to 30hz ( if any ? ), how to 5 strings players cope with that B string, which is what - 31hz - ish ?
