  1. 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
  2. Hello guys, Lee is indeed taking it, so please consider it sold. Thanks for your interest! Gareth

  4. 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!
  5. Would trade for a new set of 760FS (same string but 45-105 gauge) or 760N (black nylon tapewound).
  6. 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.

  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1325026710' post='1479325'] ... but they will take your money. [/quote] Indeed.
  11. 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.
  12. [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
  13. Yes, JC's are 34" scale.
  14. I have a JC love it. Haven't played the Hofner but the string spacing looks awfully narrow to me!
  15. [quote name='funkygreega' timestamp='1324559558' post='1475575'] Pictures? [/quote] Doing them as we speak!
  16. You were spot on with that page ikay! I ordered M3, with a 0.5mm tap to the thread (this is the critical factor to get right apparently) from a UK company and they are a perfect fit. 10mm for the E and G and 12mm for the A and D strings. Cheers Gareth
  17. Having one delivered tomorrow, thanks to Pete Academy.... Happy Christmas to me!
  18. Did I ask if this was a 4 ohm cab previously?
  19. Ashdown have just added [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fFvTSqNsw"]this[/url] to their Youtube feed.

  21. About a year ago I picked up a French bow from Yita Music on eBay, it's one of their superior AAA Ironwood models with black hair. Weight is around 135 gms. It is a touch end heavy, but not noticably so when bowing. I've hardly used it, as I decided to stick with German bows, so putting it on here to see if there's any interest. Pictures of actual bow to follow. Also selling a very nice case to keep it in. Made by Concord, it's a proper hard case and holds two bows and a pot of rosin. In mint condition as it's never even been out of the house. Shop image below. The bow and case cost me £140. I'd prefer to sell them both and am looking for £100 posted 1st class recorded. Cheers Gareth
  22. That's really helpful, thanks!
