Could be the baffle board or a panel coming loose, try getting someone to play through it (on the offending notes) and push different sided of the cab.

This happened to me on my old Hartke cab, the rear panel was vibrating against a vertical panel of wood. Screwed it down and it was fine.

Here's his profile:

Just send him a message!
Usually just click members at the top-right of the screen and you can sarch the name

[quote name='Bankai' post='766289' date='Mar 6 2010, 06:05 PM']I'd like to ammend that statement and announce I found the problem.

Battery is flat, I had no idea it was an active bass! [/quote]

Early active Shine basses were often shipped with standard jacks, meaning they sap battery power even when they're unplugged. The first Shine 6er i got had this problem, £15 for a local tech. Check yours for this, i paid for mine to be replaced with a switching jack. The price you pay for completey automated bass building! I think everything but the finishing was automated, even the fretwork!

Take em both to a decent shop or luthier and have them fixed/set up. If money is tight then just do one, no point in having 2 basses you're not happy with!

If the pre is gone in the shine it might be worth picking up a used one on here and dropping that in rather than spending money on fixing a sub-par one. Here's a top class Bartolini unit for £50 (bargain!):

David Nimrod was after one of these, give him a shout!

I had them in black fitted to my Geddy Lee Jazz, and those were as good as the Genuine Fender ones -- Very good value for the money.[/quote]


Yep, +1

I have these on my fretless, cost around £26 delivered and are great quality, on par with more expensive units. Look the nuts too.

As said, watch for the size of the base plates. I just about squeezed these onto a Mighty Mite neck, they were much bigger than my other machineheads

What's the rear panel like on the cab? If you didn't want to compromise the resale value you could make up a different rear panel with 2 Speakons, keeping the other one in case you need to rewire and sell it.

That's what i'd do, cheapskate that i am!

That's the problem with Superflys, by the time you get full power out of the amp it's no longer a light and compact rig! I use mine with a little 4ohm 1x10 cab (soon to be joined by another) and it's loud enough. I hated the amp when i first got it but i'm actually liking it now, has been ultra-reliable since i took the outer casing off


Other options would be to look at a sensitive 4ohm cab, there's a Schroeder 1212l for £300 in the FS section, that'll do the trick.
You could always look at the LG1000, they can be had for £219 from soundslive. You'll probably get £100 to £120 for the Superfly

Bought a nice speaker off Andy, he posted it next day and it arrived safe and sound


Ta!

If you only have one 8ohm speaker then you'll be getting 160w.

Each output can give a maximum of 250w @ 4ohms and 160w @ 8ohms.


Although they are a bit underpowered i think adding another cab would be the best option. Some people drive the preamp section as it's known to be a bit weak

We have a QSC RMX2450 power amp for sale, haven't been able to get access to it yet as it's locked away in storage but will be able to get it out to test and photograph next week

Should be more than you'll ever need, there's tons of power in these!

Looking for £370

That's possibly the greatest thing i have ever seen!

I was given this a while ago with some laptop spares i bought.

AFAIK it's working (it came off a knackered motherboard), i have no PC to test it with as i only deal with and use laptops


It's an Nvidia FX5500 by Inno3D, it is 8x (although i think also 4x compatible) and has 256mb RAM.

It has the following written on the sticker:

Inno3D
FX5500-8X W/256mb CRT DVI PC AGP


Might be useful for someone with a slightly older system looking to play a few games or something
Free to good home!

There's a US Fender (2008) for £550 ono in the for sale section:

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79003"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79003[/url]

Price includes shipping, that's a bargain

What colour were you after, also what make of bass and how many screw holes?

I have a white Jazz 'plate complete with white pickup covers for sale, think i'd be after £7 posted for the pair. It's off my Aria STB

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='761605' date='Mar 2 2010, 10:43 AM']Having played both, I'd go for the Stagg. One of my pupils has one & it really nails the EUB sound, especially at the price point. Red is seriously cool, too.[/quote]


+1

A Stagg with some foam wedged underneath the strings can do a great DB impression, i disagree with the colour choice though, i thought it looked horrible in red. Black all the way!

They come up for around £220 - £270 2nd hand too

Anyone remember a little known Scottish band called Ganger? They had 2 bassists i think

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='759254' date='Feb 27 2010, 05:15 PM']It's the special version with the disappearing B-string [/quote]


Like a banjo where the machinehead sticks out the neck?

+1 to all the above. I've been guilty of more than my fair share of howlers, some on quite high profile gigs.

One of my worst gigs was at a private party for the Nolan sisters, i was mixing it big with such luminaries as Alvin Stardust and the fat one from Blue
Dropped about 4 absolute clangers, the rest of the band noticed and as there were quite a few musicians in the audience they noticed too, felt like a right tw@t.

Maybe a quick call to the bandleader with a quiet apology would show them you're being professional and can admit when you've made mistakes? It's not about the mistakes you make, rather how you deal with them.
I'll never forget going to see the Chili Peppers at Manchester and seeing Flea drop in a couple of bum notes, scuffed a few as well. Happens to all of us!

Hartke have a little 1x12 300w cab, switchable between 8 and 4ohms:

Ibanez also have the Promethean cabs and combos:
[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_p110c_promethean.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_p110c_promethean.htm[/url]

4ohm and 500w, should be ok with a LMII

Squier do a Frank Bello sig too, although it's got a big dirty skull on it

The head should slide out after removing the screws on top of the combo, you'll probably need to make a lid for it though as i don't think Hartke put them on the amps in combos. It'll just be the standard HA3500 in there, great amps!

Don't take a saw to it, cabs are specifically designed and tuned to give good results. Sticking 2 speakers in a box will probably sound disappointing.

Your best bet is to flog the combo and buy what you need i reckon
There's 2 Hartke 2x10 Transporter cabs on sale here for £120 the pair, have a look at those maybe?

EDIT: Here- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78560"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78560[/url]

Happened to me a while ago, think it was a dodgy lead as one of my Planet Waves failed a couple of gigs later.

Only happened the once in over a year of solid gigging, i always DI from m MXR M80 anyway so even if something did fail i'd still have bass through the PA

[quote name='Linus27' post='752672' date='Feb 21 2010, 11:45 AM']This is how I would had designed it :)[/quote]



That's better. I'd still omit the cheesy "Bass-o-meter" logo though, makes it look mmore like a cheap kids' toy than a pedal

Parcelforce = no. I received a bass via PF48 and it took nearly a week,


I use Interparcel as they're cheap and extra insurance doesn't cost the earth.
Only had one problem with them, when i received a cab and the crossover had developed a fault, the risk you take i think. All couriers will handle boxes quite roughly and i've used them since

Parcelbee are also very cheap
