[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='726650' date='Jan 27 2010, 06:14 PM']Had a similar problem with my hamburger bass. The repairman ,kept it in the shop for about a week. He ended up changing the jack.[/quote] Logically thinking, seeing as the output jack acts as a switch then that would be the most likely area to concentrate on. However i have already changed the jack which made no difference. Maybe i need to use a certain type of jack - are there different types?

[quote name='Hot Tub' post='725802' date='Jan 26 2010, 10:08 PM']You're not leaving the lead plugged in are you?[/quote] Sigh! if it only were that simple! lol Nope the battery completely discharges itself unplugged over a period of approx 7 days. I considered fitting a switch but that would be ignoring the underlying problem. The bass is well out of warranty so no free repair unfortunately.

Hi gang, my Simon Harper 5 string active bass has developed a fault where on fitting a new 9v pre-amp battery it drains to the point of being completely dead after a period of about 7 days! I tried the obvious solution of fitting a new output jack, but to no avail. The local music shop says it needs a new pre-amp, but it sounds great and plays fine apart from the battery draining - any ideas?

[quote name='Thornybank' post='698059' date='Jan 1 2010, 04:07 PM']You are right about the AH1000 - that's the amp it wants. The BFC cab is a biamp design with a bottom section and stereo tops. It doesn't run full range unless you completely rewire it - and that involves a complete unbuild and some drilling... I have an AH500X and an AH350X that will run it, but for its full everything, you want to feed the 250w+250w stereo top section. Then WOW![/quote] I have a AH600SMX head - would that be sufficient???

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='692807' date='Dec 24 2009, 09:42 AM']Indeed, I even put some money on what I paid for it because I'm capitalist scum This is sold BTW, I'm hoping the buyer received it, better PM him.[/quote] Bass recieved - many thanks! Has been de-stickered, re-strung and set up! Cheers Mike

[quote name='Thornybank' post='683215' date='Dec 13 2009, 06:52 PM']How to put this? I have - ahem - too much Trace kit. I love it all and I have a good sized room, but I just added it all up and really, there is no excuse for a holding of this magnitude and I am not a John Henry or Matt Snowball. All great stuff - none of the Gibson era or later downgraded components and build quality. Just the models that made their name. Mk1 to Series 6. Combos from 150w to 300w and heads from 150w to 500w. About every cab configuration except 2x10, from 200w to 800w. But I do have a 200w 2x10+2x5 combo with a valve preamp ... Nothing under £150, but nothing over-the-top, either. All tech checked and working fine. Now... I am not wanting a 'kids in a sweetie shop' free-for-all 'wanna see some pics!' time waste, so please ask 'do you have a ...' rather than 'pics of everything, please!' Give us a preference for format and a budget and I'll come back with a list of kit to suit. You can then go on line and check the specs and reviews and all that. If something takes your fancy within your price range, we'll talk them through and I will do pics of the real contenders. You chance to get 'that sound', from a home set-up to a stadium blasting super-rig. Or maybe kit out a studio or some practice rooms? Some flight cases, too.[/quote] ..................................errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I don't suppose you have any spare rare as rocking horse sh*t 32 ohm 10" bass speakers have you???? Mike

[quote name='jmstone' post='667027' date='Nov 27 2009, 07:17 AM']Thanks for all the posts so far. Still considering the options.. Just in case people are wondering, I think the guitar is worth around 200 or less, so that makes a straight swap with a Squier, money your way for a MIM, more for a CIJ, or much more for a MIA. If you live in/near London, so much the better. I don't think this should lose value too quickly (more likely to appreciate), so it shouldn't be too difficult to move on if you don't get on with it. James[/quote] It's a shame the bridge is not original and the control knobs are missing. If it was complete, original and in excellent condition I'd snatch your hand off for £200! -
[quote name='jhk' post='598689' date='Sep 14 2009, 07:59 PM']This is a part rescue of an ailing cab .It`s a 2 X 10 cab with two 5inch speakers.The only ailing part is that the rear attenuator does not seem to make a lot of difference,(maybe thats my old ears) ,(could be defective pot or crossover,although subsequently a previous owner tells me he did change pot.So could be a lot simpler). However I have put two new peavey 10 inch bass speakers in (same as tx type).The previous trace 10 inch ones were knackered!! So it works absolutely fine as a straight 2 x 10! All I want to do is to break even on parts and stuff so I would like £85 for it.I will not do shipping but I`m willing to drop off to serious buyer.I drive daily between brighton and SW london so anywhere on route would be fine.I also deliver in home counties a lot (as part of my day job)so that could be considered.Also I`m keen for buyer to make sure it (as above) works to their satisfaction before they part with cash. Take no notice of back plate as it states 8 ohm but it now has two 8 ohm speakers in parallel which is a definate 4 ohms![/quote] When you say the Home Counties, does that include Bedford? mike
