[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1385111596' post='2284508'] I tried the D'Addario's and didn't get on with the sticky feel they have. [/quote] They're only like that when they are new IME I used to use chrome flats all the time but am now a convert to the half rounds - yes they did feel sticky at first but the stickiness doesn't last long

Q-parts knobs aren't the easiest things to get hold of. Neither Bill Lewington [url="http://www.bill-lewington.com/qparts/mdome.htm"]http://www.bill-lewington.com/qparts/mdome.htm[/url] nor WD Music UK [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/q-parts-253-c.asp"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/q-parts-253-c.asp[/url] were able to supply me from stock as the knobs I am after are not imported by them. WD stated that they would be able to get them for mid January delivery. Q Parts [url="http://www.qparts.com/index.php/knob.html"]http://www.qparts.com/index.php/knob.html[/url] wanted $23.95 shipping charge and 3 weeks to deliver to UK.... I ordered from Q-parts and arranged delivery to our LA office A colleague will bring them home next week - a MUCH cheaper and quicker solution.

When are you going to spill the beans?

e-mail from Mr Green 3 weeks until neck ships.... tick tock

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1383292412' post='2262580'] If this were made by me I'd want my own name on it. [/quote] If I did that with mine it would have Gibson written on it - I think that would be somewhat confusing, don't you? Ha Ha

[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1384878394' post='2281778'] I have also run 1 x 15 and 2 x 10 Hartke cabs through a HA2000 and they sounded really good [b]and the amp never blew up.[/b] [/quote] it wouldn't as both those cabs are 8 ohms meaning the total load is 4 ohm [8x8/8+8= 64/16 ] and HA amps do run to 4 ohms

[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1384873268' post='2281693'] I think I recall (although this may be wishful thinking) that Alex said they could be run in parallel due to something to do with impedence but I may well be making that up??? [/quote]Only with amps that run down to 2 ohms

[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1384870844' post='2281648'] Is there anything I can do???? [/quote] You could use them in series perhaps but would need a little rewiring and adding an extra speakon to one of the cabs.

Is the 11.18.80 on the neck pocket sticker a date per chance? 18th November 1980 ?? Possible as S serials ran a fair way into the 80s didn't they and S89* is quite a late S serial So I suspect it is 80/81 build to 78 spec.... Is there a date written on the heel of the neck?

Does the PF500 run down to less than 4 ohms? The S12 is a 4ohm cab and the compact is 8 ohm - using both together will give a load lower than 4ohms so you need an amp that will run down to 2 ohms - I didn't know the PF500 could do this. 4x8 / 4+8 = 32/12 = 2.666666666 ohm Edit for clarity as to what this means: running both cabs together from your PF500 is likely to blow up your amp

In Berlin last year we were expecting to be picked up for the soundcheck, nobody came so we walked to the venue to be told "The venue has been moved as the venue has been closed down because the band last night set off a flame thrower onstage - did you not get the e-mail?"

Spoke to Status yesterday and they had a batch of 3 jazz necks just going to polishing...so I ordered one of them for me today. I also ordered the tuners today tick tock

More parts are arriving.

That looks like a fantastic neck.......I want

Give it a few months and a lack of a replacement from fender and I suspect these will go for around the £500 mark. That is fairly cheap for what a 6 month old good 2x12 seems to fetch. i don't see why these should be any different. So they were available for a short time @ £379 so what? - if they are so desirable then why should they go for anything less than comparable products from other manufacturers?
