    I've put this on eBay and Reverb, very happy to accept cash offers from BCers to save me the pain of both! Also happy to send to Europe 👍

    They're lucky enough to have a safe marketplace in the shape of US fanboys for all things US Fender

    Absof***inglutely, what a mess. Add a old school BBOT bridge, remove the PUP cover, and it would be passable, at present it all looks like an afterthought as opposed to a plan

    Now you've made your travels with desirable Boogie gear public I'd watch your step at the service stations en-route Nik

    Nicely put, my view also 👍

    I assume the drummer just wants to hear a well balanced but lower volume version of what he hears while playing acoustically, ear protectors only do part of this. It's a good idea to my mind, we used to play with a loud drummer who used ear defenders which meant he tended to play even louder, meaning we had to either use use in-ears or risk damaging our hearing.

    Bought a collection of bass bits from Steve, arrived quickly and packed to perfection with great comms (and I should say priced significantly below what they were collectively worth). Great to deal with one of the forum's top geezers, many thanks Steve, I'm sure there'll be more 👍

    Tempted to buy this just for the excuse of a drive and a catch-up Nik, even I don't need two though I've played/owned pretty much every Mesa Boogie unit out there from the 80's monsters through to the current wave of lightweight units and I think the M-Pulse 600 is still my favourite, I've certainly found it the best combination of power, tone, versatility, and usability (the Carbine M6 came a close second). Ridiculous how cheap you can get this gear for these days ........

    Thanks @agedhorse, I assume an off the shelf 7-pin to 5-pin cable's not going to do the job then?

    How many watts = how long is a piece of string As per previous thread, you can never have too many, only too few 👍

    Thanks Pete, I'm not sure, I guess it depends on how it's connected, @agedhorse @sandy_r any thoughts?

    Scene in Russ's studio last Thursday....

    Lovely 👍
  15. Beedster
    Hell yes

    Ah, that neck was mine, very very nice it is too. I've dropped you a PM re a possible trade that could work well for both of us @reggieboomboom

    I've put a rather nice Squier Classic Vibe Precision fretted neck on this and it's rather nice. It's a 40mm nut so somewhere between traditional Jazz and traditional Precision/Stingray territory, and a perfect fit in the pocket (as good a fit as was the Sims/Enfield neck). I'm happy to sell the bass with both necks or with a significant price drop with only the fretted neck (£1050 seems about right)

    Now it's back and working, anyone got any idea where I might be able to source a 7-pin to 5-pin DIN?

    So, the Boogie is back in my studio and as Russ indicated, it certainly wasn't a well amplifier, it sounded really quite unwell and gut feel was that the problem was a lot more substantial than a pre-amp tube. But, start simple and small and move towards large and more complex is the rule, so that's what I did. Luckily there's a pretty substantial collection of tubes here and as a few people suggested above, the pre-amp tube was the obvious starting point and bingo, it was also the culprit. So it's all fixed now. I have also recognised that fate has decreed that I shall always own at least two pieces of Mesa Boogie amplification Russ/@binky_bass, many thanks for your patience throughout mate, as it turns out it was after all quite a simple fix although we weren't to know that from the symptoms, and also as I said above, it really did feel like something so much more problematic than the pre-amp tube. Gonna need to buy some more electric basses again now

    Oi

    My youngest described me as crazy as a coconut today and it reminded me of this. I'd forgotten just how joyful a thing it is. Enjoy

    Far too cheap 👍

    Totally reasonable, if you’re feeling guilty perhaps always offer to help load his gear in but explain why you can’t help load out. Sleep is bloody important if you’re working the day after a gig 👍

    None of this is helped by @d_g and his steady flow of stunning relics........

    Very sad 😞
