[quote name='Hamster' post='759283' date='Feb 27 2010, 05:50 PM']Ahh - I was misled by the link to the active bass on your previous thread about it - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=77569"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=77569[/url][/quote] Yeah, slightly interesting wording on the webpage, that is the bass though. If I were to replace the pickups I presume any jazz-style 5-string ones would be suitable? Any recommendations?

Not an active bass

Hello. A few times over the past month I've picked up my guitar (Shine Extreme Series WEB845) in the morning to have a play and the sound has come out really distorted. I just put the guitar down and come back to it in a hour and it's usually fine. As such I assumed the problem had something to do with the cold night beforehand. Anyway I just had the same problem yet it is not going away and it's been around for a lot longer than normal. I'm not sure what the problem is, I think it might be something to do with the pickups. Any ideas? Am I looking at replacing something? To help you here is a recording I just made (Home recording studios are great!). This was made using a DI straight from the bass.

Righty. All UHF systems will be made obsolete in a short time. Ofcom are moving the part of the spectrum allocated to wireless systems from CH67/68/69 to CH38. All kit on CH67/68/69 will become illegal to use, full stop. There are a few manufacturers that have started producing kit for CH38 already but it's a tad expensive. The government will be operating a compensation scheme for kit that will be becoming obsolete but there's a few problems. 1. Compensation offered will only be at the second-hand value. (And they determine that value. Something purchased for £1k will only be compensated at a negligible amount) 2. It's only being offered on kit purchased before a certain date. (I believe that date is something like Oct08. I may be wrong on that, I'll need to check) 3. And as far as I know, it's only being offered for kit on CH69 Big hire companies etc. are up in arms (with good reason) as their whole hire fleets are being made useless and it'll be costing them thousands to replace what they can't use. However.... The VHF frequencies used for some older kit, remain unaffected.

[quote]FOR SALE MY TRACE ELLIOT TOP WITH 2X10 AND 1X15 CABS. BOUGHT THIS ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO FOR THE LARGER VENUES, BUT ENDED UP NOT DOING TOO MANY. THE AMP IS VALVE AND TRANSISTOR, WITH HIGH AND LOW BAND COMPRESSION AND 12 BAND GRAPHIC - I THINK THAT IT'S AROUND 300 WATTS . THE CONDITION IS SUPERB - HARDLY ANY MARKS , AND THE SOUND , WELL WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE OLDER TRACE KIT ............EXTREMELY VERSATILE, AND VERY LOUD.[/quote] I spoke to him on the phone and I was under the impression it was all trace elliot. Evidently not

I will be a running away then Cheers guys.

[quote name='Merton' post='756991' date='Feb 25 2010, 12:49 PM']Got it! That 1x15 ain't a Trace cab, it has at least 3 circular ports. Trace only ever did slot ports or 2 circular ports. Be wary of that cab methinks...[/quote] I'll make some enquiries... Are you quite sure about that? I.e. It's definately not a trace cab. If not, what could it be? It has similiar styling so must be a custom thing somebody has knocked up. Thanks.

Surely it can't weigh that much? Then again...

Another amp I've been looking at buying instead of the Hartke one. All good, no damage (superficial or internal). How much would you say it's worth?

My drums I'm fine with being used. Cymbals are a no-no to everyone but a select few. Bass stuff if they ask and I trust them.

When I first started (Jan09): Bass: Shine Extreme Series 845 Amp: Stagg 20BA (which is crap) When I first started playing seriously (Aug09): Bass: Still the Shine Extreme Series 845 Amp: Ashdown P10 Mini-Rig And now when I'm starting to play live and develop properly (Jan10): Bass: Fender Jazz (Still using the Shine though) Amp: On it's way.... (Secret Trace Elliot goodness!)

It's not just the guitars you have to be careful with. My main instrument is the drums and my cymbals are worth £260 each and are all sonically matched. If one gets broken then it renders the others mismatched... Anyway, basses/guitars can be repaired unless they get completely fecked but sadly a cymbal is a goner the moment it cracks or splits (which is sadly far too easy...) I'm not at the point with bass yet where I have £1k+ kit so I'm not too worried about lending what I do have out. Providing the person asks and I know them I'm fine with it.
