[quote name='dood' timestamp='1459012542' post='3012878'] The LH heads were never designed to distort just have masses of clean head room - actually something I preferred them for. [/quote] For this very reason, the LH series is the best plug and play amp I have ever used. No hiding with them at all and that eq?? Lol awesome! Given the price they go for used, I wouldn't think twice about buying one should the need arise.

I had a v4 mk1 220w beast! It was just a turn on monster of a valve amp. However, it had little issues too as mentioned above re thin sounding after a while and some control issue. I got it serviced and was told by the tech that they were definitely not designed for the road. Cicuit boards and soldering were a bit suspect. I guess this will be the same with most modern valve amps that are not point to point soldered. Loved my SVT Classic more though but the weight ... wow! I love valve amps and couldn't live without one therefore and as I'm nearly 50, I've compromised and now own two small ashdown valve heads: CTM-15 & LB30. Awesome 😎

I always put one of [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Genuine-Fender-Deluxe-Bass-Upgrade-Bridge-CHROME-005-8396-000-/361517694781?hash=item542c223f3d:g:c~AAAOSwAuNW4aux"]these[/url] on my precisions as I think they are stunning, solid and create a lovely string tone. Cheap enough to bring in from America too.

Hi ye all Hopefully someone will know the answer to my question. As per the [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/1/Valve/11/Little-Bastard-/"]Ashdown[/url] website, the LB30 has a 12ax7 (83) and an 12au7 (82) however, when checking how to disassemble it to change the valves, it appears as though there maybe 3 preamp valves?? See link to image below: https://ampstack.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/dscf1465.jpg Can any one shed light on this as I've ordered the 83 and 82 as well as a matched set of EL84s - all electro-harmonix? Feels like I've missed something now cheers all Andy

What a gentleman easy transaction and superb item! Always a pleasure. Andy

Just sold my all valve Ampeg SVT-CL to Jon, brill guy, great comms and an absolute pleasure to do business with Enjoy the monster!! Andy

[quote name='stoo' timestamp='1453115018' post='2956397'] Strings and Things list them on their website.... Not sure if you'd need to send your old part in exchange though [url="http://www.ernieball.co.uk/k/search?q=stingray+preamp&x=0&y=0"]http://www.ernieball...+preamp&x=0&y=0[/url] [/quote] Had a wee look and don't seem to have a 3band eq plus, would like to see if just the circuitry or pots and input included.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1453114692' post='2956395'] Is it a two band or 3 band pre? [/quote] its a three band

Hey all, been having problems with the stingray electrics, the treble pot acting strangely as in middle position ok, rolled of ok but rolled on sounds like its rolled off. Took off the control plate and fiddled with the white and black wires from the pup to the pre. I noticed fairly quickly the solder was dry and off the circuit board. tried to re-solder but the circuit track seat disintegrated. Can any-one recommend me where to get a new preamp or a repair? I guess the circuit is now damaged beyond repair. andy
