    Just as well I'm at the other end of the country or I'd have this just to leave at the space we have started rehearsing at!

    Will someone PLEASE let him know you can achieve all of that shyte he was playing on a regular guitar!

    Before you open it up to check the valves, have you tried using the amp with 1 cab? It is possible to have your speaker cables wired out of phase with each other, so adding the 2nd cab can be detrimental to the sound. Do your cabs/leads work 100% with a different amp? Is it possible to try the amp with different cabs/leads? Is the cab new from a shop? If so take it back and ask to plug back into their cabs, that'll eliminate possible dodgy valves. I'm fairly confident about stuff under the bonnet so I'd be happy to take the top off and reseat the valves but appreciate that others might be happier leaving to others... it comes back to how easy it is to return it to the seller. <edit> Just reread your first post and I assume these are the cabs that you trialled it with initially! However... are they the cables you got with it? Might still be worth trying with other cabs/cables to be sure it is the amp at fault.

    First thought is that it is your cabs and/or leads. I'm assuming the other connections on the back are effects in/out? I'd disconnect them so that you just have bass > amp > cab(s). That leads us to your speaker cables; they look home made/mismatched, are you sure they are both wired the same? I'd try the amp into 1 cab first. Next thought based on the fact I've had one of these amps, are the preamp valves seated correctly and one of them is not on it's last legs? It could be when being transported or stored in the cold that a valve is not 100% OK.

    He probably got a load of messages and had a rethink that maybe it was too cheap. Oddly if he now gets no interest, the people who were interested at first will give him a swerve!

    IIRC the easiest way to date them is from the internal battery pack, I think the date is hand written on there.

    I bought an EastCoast Thinline Tele and I loaned it to our guitarist... he kind of liked it and did a video.

    Wrong end of the country, as I'd like to have tried this!

    Well it's now in the BC collective so you never know! LOL

    Likewise I can swap from 30" / 32" / 34" / 35" scale and not miss a beat. The exception for me has been the acquisition of the shortie fretless... oooops I hadn't realised how much muscle memory I have for 34" scale and I really have to concentrate when playing 30" fretless.

    I have a TC Pethora which I've been tweaking to give me a passable emulation of a 12 string bass. In the process I created a couple of patches which I stored as they just sounded phat/saturated; in the end I've ended up running my 'normal' bass tone through the TC to give this slightly overdriven/compressed tone... and I like it!

    It's actually a 'much' nicer colour in the flesh, a proper green around the edges Roquefort cheese colour. I don't think the seller pushed the weight thing as much as he could, it weighs less than 7lb and yes it is a solid wood body. I'm not sure how I'm going o get on with the pan / tone controls(ie no volume) but I rarely use volume in a live situation. The rear DiMarzio may end up getting an electrician's tape modification as the pole pieces are intrusive.

    I was the weak one!

    So each humcancelling pup has 2 coils and there are 2 of each of these pups in a case... ergo there are 4 coils. They are calling it exactly what it is; a QUAD coil pick-up.
  15. warwickhunt
    If you buy a blank at least you can notch it to suit... and it'll be 1/20th of the cost of a Warwick one!
  16. warwickhunt
    Gawd, saw that pic and thought you were trading the Zoot!

    Put me in the queue behind @gafbass02

    It isn't the quantity of outs that I need to be aware of it is the amount of juice; the Plethora needs 600mA and if you have other pedals drawing power on a unit it can actually reduce the amount of juice being supplied across the board (often in the small print of any power supply).
  19. warwickhunt
    USB is a handy feature but that wouldn't have enough juice from any of the individual outputs to drive one of my pedals and digital pedals are very fussy. Oddly the juice from the Power Bar should easily supply the BBE but for some reason it just will not run if I use anything other than it's own dedicated wall-wart.

    My pedalboard has a gigbag and while it protects them, I literally carry them by hand to car to gig; they don't get thrown in with general band gear or transported/carried by anyone else. If your velcro is good they don't budge from where they are. One down side of the Palmer Power Bar that I use is that the powers protrude from the top and I unplug the leads from the Power Bar each time, I really should just secure the protective strip on the back edge.
  21. warwickhunt
    I have a seperate pedalboard that has BOSS pedals on but I could easily get 8 of that size pedal on the 40. You just need to consider where the in/out jacks go, some pedals are on the top, most on the sides.
  22. warwickhunt
    I have the 40 but it is just for a couple of large pedals.

    I know you use the TC Plethora mate, do you find this issue when running the compressor?
  24. warwickhunt
    Do you usually have a reaction to other materials/strings? I've just ordered a set of monel strings for my Baritone guitar... never had an issue with any other material, hope these aren't giving too many people grief.
  25. warwickhunt
    Assuming both of your cabs are 8 ohm (about 90% of cabs are), then any amp that will operate at 4 ohms (about 99% do) will be fit for purpose. Just out of interest why did you choose 2 different manufacturers and 2 different speaker configurations? If you have a PF 115HE why not get another identical it makes more sense. 500w output is a sensible power rating, you'll rarely need more and if you do you should be using PA support. The only unknown is what sound / tone you are trying to achieve.
