    Much has changed chez Walbassist in the last few months, so here's the collection as it stands at the moment.... [url="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6640534509_e1c5b52ba1_b.jpg"][/url]

    Here are my two, both bought in the autumn last year: a 1970 fretless (P Retro fitted as original pots long gone) and a 1988 MIJ. Mmmm....

    Anyone know where I can get some of these, plus screws, for an ABM head like below? Ashdown don't supply them any more. Cheers Gareth

    I bought two of these just before Christmas to use with my ABM300, but the imepnding sale of the amp means they are no longer needed. They look like this... .. and are used to control either the valve/sub or the eq/shape/flat functions. Integral cable is 4m long. They are effectively brand new as only tested at home. They cost me £24 together, so looking for £18 posted 2nd class recorded for the two, or £10 posted 2nd class recorded for one. Cheers Gareth

    According to Guy at Ashdown the amp is designed first and foremost to provide a clean valve tone. Obviously if you push it hard it will break up, but by just how much will be influenced by a lot of variables in addition to where you set the gain knob (i.e. pickup height, strength of signal from bass etc.) Cheers Gareth

    Evening all So I set up at rehearsal tonight with my trusty ABM 300 Evo II and, while the amp worked, for the first few minutes I would get short, quiet bursts of a sound almost like very high pitched feedback, which also maxed out the VU meter reading. It stopped soon enough and didn't return, but I'm wondeirng if anyone has any ideas what may have caused this? I should add the amp has worked faultlessly every other time I've used it. Cheers Gareth

    Fender Bass V?
  13. franzbassist
    Having had a major change of gear in 2011 (three new basses and a complete change of amplification) I am hoping that 2012 will be a much quieter year for me!
  14. franzbassist
    ... and still available.
  15. franzbassist
    Would trade for a new set of 760FS (same string but 45-105 gauge) or 760N (black nylon tapewound).
  16. franzbassist
    Yes, always try the passive input first. If it distorts (in a way you don't want or like), lower the input gain or switch to the active input.

    I knew Pete for 22 years and spent many happy hours at the workshop(s) and snooker club. A genuine, lovely, talented man. I will miss him very much, but both he and Wal leave a wonderful legacy in the instruments they gave to us.
  19. franzbassist
    Bought two sets and put one on my fretted P. Perfect for that bass but I need to go a gauge lighter for my fretless, so selling the unused set. £30 new, selling for £27.50 posted 1st class.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1325026710' post='1479325'] ... but they will take your money. [/quote] Indeed.
  21. franzbassist
    Whatever you do, check the Terms and Conditions of the courier you use, as some do not insure instruments unless they are in a hard case, and some won't insure them at all.
  22. franzbassist
    SOLD!

    [quote name='MarcDan' timestamp='1324941164' post='1478702'] Hi. Have sent you a pm. Please contact me. Regards. [/quote] Hi there Yes, I saw your PM and replied last night. I can see it there so it was definitely sent. If you can confirm it isn't in your PMs I'll re-send! Cheers Gareth
  24. franzbassist
    Yes, JC's are 34" scale.
  25. franzbassist
    I have a JC love it. Haven't played the Hofner but the string spacing looks awfully narrow to me!
