There's probably nothing wrong with the amp, has it always been like it or has something changed? If you can attenuate the input level it should be OK & I'd leave messing with the internals to someone who knows what they're doing - no disrespect to you intended - but!! - certainly no point changing type of pots from manufacturer's design. BTW The impedance of the speakers used matches the amp I assume? Cheerz, John PS There's a guy just down the road from me that does Fender amp repairs (amongst others) & while it's generally sunny here - it ain't Portugal

[quote name='mojobass' timestamp='1330278949' post='1555062'] So NOT genuine!!! 22 frets!!!! headstock been re-shaped somehow, nice enough i supose but def NOT fender! [/quote] How do you make it 22? I can only see 21 but it is only lightly reliced in mostly the wrong places It's a Fender decal - maybe

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1330255541' post='1554584'] So these things work on concrete floors when the speaker cab is on castors. What principle is involved here? Has anyone carried out any before/after measurements? [/quote] Yes, after measurements = your cab is approx 2.5" higher than it was before standing it on a Gramma

Wonderful improvement in clarity & hardly a rattle in the room! My bungalow is suspended - wooden floors all through & the sound is clearer without any reverberations throughout. So when Kaz is kooking in the kitchen, she loves me playing even more Best £42 I've spent in a long time - let's face it you can spend that on a set of strings but this will make far more difference & last for years Cheerz, John

[quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1330180734' post='1553804'] Most peoples understanding of frequency range in a room is seriously wanting, I work with 2 guys that have conversations like this.... "how does the guitar sound out front?" "it's a bit toppy" "ok I'll put some bass on it then" CLANG that's the sound of me hitting him in the face with a shovel. You need 4 things: 1. a length of straw, about 12 inches with barley attached at the end, 2. a well rehearsed west country accent 3. a small tractor. 4. a shotgun In the sound check jump on your tractor with straw in corner of mouth, drive across the stage and point the shotgun in the guitarists face, and in your best Chippenham drawl bellow... GET ORFF MOI FREQWANSEE.... If he refuses, shoot him in the face and hang him at the back of the stage as a warning to the other guitarist [/quote] Excellent

If you haven't got a Gramma - ? Get one under your cabs mate - It will focus your sound more than you would ever imagine Worth every penny Cheerz, John

Not me - I hate buses

I'm pleased to have seen & heard it on TV with a decent sound system 'cos it don't come across on the laptop but yes it was fabulous

Yep - in my '57 P, brilliant pick up - every note is crystal clear & a very full frequency range, powerful output, silent 'no noise', classy look & no pole pieces, still gives that P-bass sound though, highly recommended.

[quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1329902643' post='1549199'] I like Blur. Fair dos it wasn't the most polished of performances. What I'd really like to know tho is who here thinks Alex James is a good bass player? Obviously within the context of the whole indie/pop/rock genre, he must be considered somewhat better than his peers. [/quote] Yes I liked the Blur that was but last night's performance was BAD. Albarn might have had a few too many before the gig? Alex james is a great player but I think he's been raising kids & making cheese more than playing bass lately. His face & demeanour right from the first walk on said WTF am I doing here! When he was playing it looked he was embarrased to be on the same stage with Damon. Maybe they'll be more together for the big gig in the park?

Bad news - they're still playing on ITV2 Good news - they'e managed to get a bit more out of Alex's P-bass

They need to give that award back QUICK!

Here you go: Beautiful strings, my favourite by far & I've just checked mine on a P bass - there is 38"" before the silk top end, no silks at the bridge end. EDIT: Just noticed the last picture is of a Black Nylon string envelope but they're all the same length. HTH, Cheerz, John

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1329561284' post='1544201'] I've never seen a fake that came sealed in what looks like an official REAN bag so I'd likely go with a real bad batch. Maybe whatever is applied to the plugs during the manufacturing finishing process was not applied, causing the plug to tarnish. Maybe some liquid or cleaner touched it when you have wiped pedals down in the past that just doesn't agree with the compound of the metal? Who knows. Have you ever used any switch cleaner in the pots or sockets of any of the pedals the plug has ever been in? Stick to proper Neutrik! Or George L's for patch cable! [/quote] Sorry Shep, missed that post, no chemicals or cleaners have been used near them, they're lucky if they get a suck from the dyson once or twice a decade

Cheerz Wrinkley, there's a Maplin about 10 miles down the road from me, not worth the petrol for a few jacks though! I've just ordered some of the Neutrik NP2RX-B, fancied the black body for a change, definitely not the cheap range . Had a look at Maplins online - JHC I ain't payin their prices!!!!!!

I love that '59 film, seen it before & love seeing it every time. The quantities amaze me, even in those days My dad was a carpenter, joiner & cabinet maker - I remember his workshop from a very early age, he didn't have electricity let alone machinery in 1959! Mind you he was making one-offs

Very nice Enjoy

[quote name='thunderider' timestamp='1329588238' post='1544659'] dont know what the speaker is! [/quote] There's your problem

Exactly as Bassman says - & never mind 1977 - I had MEGAGAS for 1 in 1973 & trolled the streets of that London with £400 in my pocket but couldn't find 1 out of dozens I tried that played well IMHO. I ended up with a brand new Gherson Blonde Jazz, a Hiwatt 100, Orange 2x18 cab, an empty pocket & a seriously loaded credit card! BUT - that's another story! I've never touched anothr Ricky Baker to this day I hope you find someone to let you try their's & I wish you luck in your quest. Cheerz, John

Ohms dear boy? What exactly are you mixing up?

Yes these were bought as seperate plugs & as far as I remember all came individually bagged & sealed as pictured, yes the NYS207 is printed on the silver part of the bag. I bought the N2RX plugs for my amp & cab leads but tried the cheaper Reans for pedalboard/patch leads. Cheerz, John

How's about - MiM - Jazz body, P/J pick ups & P neck

That's a biatch, thought you were part of the furniture & fixings on that one!

Cheerz for that, I've checked all my Amp - Cab & Cab - Cab leads, they are all indeed the NP2RX - thankfully no sign of any problems there! I've been searching through my spare bits & found another of the REAN NYS207 still sealed in it's bag from new. The writing on the bag says REAN a brand of Neutrik AG, as you say above though - there is no REAN stamp on the inside of the housing, the edges seem OK but it looks suspiciously like a batch of cheap copies I must've got somewhere along the way [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/170220121236.jpg[/IMG]
