[quote name='alexclaber' post='354867' date='Dec 15 2008, 10:59 AM']Thus we are all simply making wise investments. Alex[/quote] That's exactly how I sold it to my brain to persuade it to press "Buy"!

[quote name='small_lump_of_green_putty' post='353422' date='Dec 13 2008, 10:56 AM']have you checked the power drain isn't drawing more than the adaptor can deliver?[/quote] In theory it isn't, but seeing rayfw's answer makes me think otherwise [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='353458' date='Dec 13 2008, 11:40 AM']It's the aliens, all disguised as bass players !! Have you managed to sus it out yet Mert? My guess would be that the original method of powering each unit is cleaner as I had a similar problem when I added one extra unit to my pedal board a while back and everything started to get noisier. Since then, I've simplified everything anyway but if your set up was working for you as was then I'd say you need to go back to that configuration and start from there. Can't offer any advice re: the BDDI I'm afraid as I have the electrical knowledge of a stone mason... Hope all's well otherwise Mert?[/quote] Haven't sussed it yet, going to try a different power source on the next gig and see what happens. All is good tho, 5 months in and counting! Looking forward to Xmas. How about you? [quote name='rayfw' post='353486' date='Dec 13 2008, 12:17 PM']Even though the max your adaptor can deliver is 1A it may start to struggle to supply 9V at current draws below this. This could be leading to problem no 2.[/quote] Never thought it could be a problem but will try a different power supply and see... Cheers guys!

I think the word is "whoops". Just bought an LH500. Ah well

(In reference to my last post...) Whoops

And here's me thinking about pulling the trigger on the Hartke LH500, which can be cunningly stored in the function band's lock up for Nic to never know... Good luck! I got away with it earlier this year when buying a 4x8 Trace cab, so you never know your luck...

[quote name='JayX' post='354738' date='Dec 15 2008, 12:55 AM']edit: If anyone has a history behind the V6 I'd be really interested.. ie the V4 and V8 are more obviously little/big brother with the 2 gain / compressor / half power options and a near-identical look, whereas the V6 seems a different beast altogether with none of those features and a completely different design. And if anyone has a PDF manual, it'd be appreciated as the TE website has a V4 and V8 manual, but no V6.[/quote] The V6 was the forerunner to the V4/V8. The initial V-Type range came out in about 1995 (I think) with an all-valve head (220W, sometimes called the V4), a hybrid combo (250W MOSFET - I have one and love it) and the standalone preamp. This range got revamped into the V6, 300H and 600H heads (V6 being all valve 400W, 300H and 600H being MOSFET power amps) plus the revised 1x15 combo and a 4x8 combo + ext cab. Then the "newer" V-Type range superseded that in about 1999 with the V4, V8 and the new V4 combos.

Buy it for me!

Santa![/quote] [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='353453' date='Dec 13 2008, 11:31 AM']Blimey - that's ridiculous! [/quote] Hate to say it but Coda Music have that beat - £319 + delivery. At worst you're looking at £15 delivery, so that's 33.5p/watt...

[quote name='HeavyJay' post='352832' date='Dec 12 2008, 03:50 PM']Schoolboy error mate, get the money first! [/quote] 9 times out of 10 we do actually. Good point. F**k it, the wedding on the 21st of December is going ot get Rime of the Ancient Mariner, followed by some Rush or something

We don't do obscure songs, as we're there to get the wedding crowd/party crowd on the dancefloor. We'd love to play Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Maiden) or Overture (early Def Leppard) but we'd never get paid at the end of the gig.

[quote name='NowVertical' post='351355' date='Dec 10 2008, 11:21 PM']Your build diary seems to have gone a bit quiet...what's the story? See ya Sunday[/quote] Build stalled by winter weather mainly! Hopefully back on track spring time... See ya Sun

Only one more this year - a wedding on Sun 21st. We made the decision a year ago to cut back to a very bare December this year after the last few being mad, we're all looking forward to speding Xmas and NY Eves with our families for a change

Spunky's, definitely

Fine bass Sarah - I used to have the 4 string version. Enjoy

[quote name='Mikey R' post='351743' date='Dec 11 2008, 01:29 PM']Mert, you had that Citroen BX at Uni, do you see a resemblance...? [/quote] Now you mention it... Yes, I see! It's held together with gaffa tape!

[quote name='skelf' post='351598' date='Dec 11 2008, 11:07 AM']Passing resemblance is right not a copy so I don't see a problem. I spoke to Mike at the bassday and said it was in the same ballpark shape wise but I didn't say stop making it or anything like that so fire away guys. Alan[/quote] Alan, you are a good man Btw, played a couple of your basses at the SE bass Bash. Amazing! Will definitely get me a Harlot one day...

At first I didn't see the resemblance, then I realised I wasn't thinking of the Skelf... As I've said to Mikey, yes it does bear a passing resemblance but the bridge area is different and Mikey's shape is more "angular" I think. Chunkier lower horn too. Other opinions needed!

[quote name='johnnylager' post='350437' date='Dec 10 2008, 10:04 AM']Me too. ROAD TRIP![/quote] Plan! Everyone get 10 CDs, bring an acoustic bass for playing in the back of the car and let's get on it

We'll be there again! Hooray! May only manage first set depending on how Nic's feeling tho (5 months in and all)...

Chris, Good luck sorting this. If you need a spare amp while Steve looks at yours I'm not too far away either (oh, and I'll give a thumbs up to his service too ) If I lived near Allen_Baker I'd be happy to have words, but alas I'm at the other end of the country Mert

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='349857' date='Dec 9 2008, 04:23 PM']My quest for a high end jazz is on hold for now, as I've just sold and shipped my KingBass [b]so I'm off down to Status to buy something stock next week.[/b] Rich.[/quote] Oooooooh, can't wait to find out what!

Not sure why I never answered this before I have 4, sort of: [b]1. Status Retroactive J[/b], yum yum. Only one other bass has been so playable and so "me", that was the Groove 5 I sold a few months back to SFN, now with Trace_n_Bass I believe?? [b]2. Status Groove fretless[/b], yum yum. Oh wait, this is equally as playable as the Retroactive, just I'm not as good without frets [b]3. Vester Jazz[/b] copy, my first bass so sentimental reasons won't let me sell it, plus it's prob worth about 50p. Plays and sounds nice though, for a cheapy. [b]4. Galveston[/b] electro-acoustic [b]firewood[/b]
