If I didn't have a new amp on order, I'd be considering the pre/power!

Two 2x10s: stack vertically or horizontally
warwickhunt replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs
Ah so the standard BF2x10 cab is this, it'll still benefit from vertical stacking as described but 'potentially' would have lessened mid/high over say the TC RS cabs that I stack (with coaxial drivers paired)? -
Two 2x10s: stack vertically or horizontally
warwickhunt replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs
Do you mean they were designed to be stacked both vertically AND horizontally? Surely that is scientifically impossible, they can only be 'designed' for one orientation? Everything that I've ever read indicates that drivers in a vertical array are preferential over the old (space saving) 4x10 config. -

warwickhunt replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs
As I understand it, the tweeters (or coaxial drivers in the case of the TC RS 210s) should be as close together as possible; even though that means they are the centre most speakers in the stack. -

warwickhunt replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs
I've never stacked my pair of 2x10's (TC RS210) in alternate ways 'during' a gig but whenever they are vertical they just seem to work better for me! It helps that I can always hear the bass as the top speaker is nearer ear level and yes my amp is always standing on its side beside the cabs. -
MEC & EMG pups are 'very' similar, there shouldn't be an issue pairing either sets with a fully working MEC pre. However, if refitting the EMGs solves the issue I'd also be checking the MEC pups aren't at fault (cover all possible outcomes).
-
All great pointers above but before you launch into a new pre... if you have the block MEC with the trim pot (ringed in blue), have you tried turning that down?

Just seen these; brand new gear at less than used prices!

SOLD ELSEWHERE 1988 Warwick Thumb bass 4 NT
warwickhunt replied to Matte_black's topic in Basses For Sale
I was under the impression paypal was even higher than 4%? I'm assuming you'd need to take your BC price and add 14%? I've had my eye on a BC bass which is now on ebay and I'm very tempted to message him and point out that I'd do a private sale give him his ebay price minus fees but I know some people don't see the final 'net' sale price. -
Is it worth me trying to sell to you guys in UK?
warwickhunt replied to Chopthebass's topic in Bass Guitars
Looks a lush colour and matching headstock which is win/win... I like the colour but not in the market for a Ray or a 5er! I can't imagine any scenario where you'd get more money for this selling to the UK than you would selling in hometown/county/country. -

warwickhunt replied to Chopthebass's topic in Bass Guitars
Absolutely agree that there is a massive range of desirability in the range and some will certainly be of higher value than others but as a point of reference to the (non-UK) OP, an 'average' Ray can be had at or around the price I stated. Many folks do hold out for a higher/better price and if it is in a nice colour/combo then they might get it but there's equally as many that don't sell. Bringing in commission sales or shop prices takes it to a different place as the OP was talking about selling privately from the States to the UK. -

warwickhunt replied to Chopthebass's topic in Bass Guitars
Sadly you can look through ebay & BC sales and find lots of examples (not just the odd mut) for sale at £850, in fact getting more than £850 would be a result! -

warwickhunt replied to Chopthebass's topic in Bass Guitars
£150 (ish) for shipping + 25-30% taxes + cites (possibly); an average Ray in the UK (not pre EB) is £850 ($1100). You'd need to sell it for approx $600 - $650.... In short, no! -
Shame they didn't reduce the 2x10... I own a pair but at these prices I'd replace old for new.

ok really boiled my p1ss, need to let off steam

You pay peanuts, you get... -
TBH once you get into the realms of declared ratings they are written on snakeoil paper by Mickey Mouse. Added to which you could have a 1000w 20lb cab but it might sound cack! OK if you just want to compare numbers but in the real world of limited use... oh I'm an old cynic!

Just seen your bass on ebay! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Godin-A4-LR-Baggs-electric-acoustic-lightweight-hybrid-bass-hard-case-MODDED/303004822118?epid=17027311638&hash=item468c7eaa66:g:pggAAOSwPWtcHQ9r:rk:37:pf:0

I'm sure I recognise this Godin bass as being from this forum. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Godin-A4-LR-Baggs-electric-acoustic-lightweight-hybrid-bass-hard-case-MODDED/303004822118?epid=17027311638&hash=item468c7eaa66:g:pggAAOSwPWtcHQ9r:rk:37:pf:0

I initially thought it was a fake (I ignored the stupid price and his ramblings) but it could well be genuine... not that anyone will be daft enough to pay that price!

I've had the same bass (+many others) on a wall hanger (securely fixed) for 26 years and it's done it no harm and that has been in 4 different houses with variations in heating/ventilation.
