[quote name='john_the_bass' post='120598' date='Jan 15 2008, 08:59 AM']they've done that to me. they give you a load of cobblers about how it contravenes their listing policy, but there's actually nothing in their listing policy to that effect. I wrote to them and told them and they just fob you off until you put together a strong argument and then they ignore you. I was then sent a "how did we handle your communication" survey, which i filled in and ticked the last box that said, do you need to be contacted - of course nobody actually got back to me. I think i was just up for a bit of a row. They do credit your listing fee though. Sorry, back on topic. Good luck with the next auction[/quote] Cheers John, nice to know I get a credited listing fee if nothing else. Pain is that it was about to start taking off and I had 19 people watching it!! Ah well, we live and learn...

[quote name='Toasted' post='119166' date='Jan 12 2008, 03:57 PM']It's just a case of being in the right place at the right time mert. There's some amazing bargains to be had by looking in the right places: Deep Impact £60, Unibass x 2 £50/each, Bass Whammy: £100, Mutron w/lindenberg mods £120, Animato Distortion: £80, I've bought about 5 Fulltone bassdrives for not more than £75.[/quote] Can I hang out with you for a while?

[quote name='Moo' post='118186' date='Jan 10 2008, 09:44 PM']They are popular for Top End HiFi kit and are used in the classic Musical Fidelity A1 amp. This is low powered, sounds lovely, and you could fry eggs on top of it if you wanted to![/quote] I have that amp, it is gorgeous.

The two main solid state power amp types are Bi-Polar and MOSFET. There's no "good2 or "bad" other than component selection and design, they're both good at their own thing. Higher power amps are almost always MOSFET I believe, earlier Trace stuff was BiPolar but I think they changed to MOSFET in the 90s as power levels increased. I think you'll find most solid state power amps are MOSFET thesedays. As for MOSFET sounds or behaving like valves, well.... In preamps that is kinda the case, but I think you'll find these are BiFET rather than MOSFET. Different sort of Field Effect Transistor, y'see Bored? Good

[quote name='lowdown' post='117956' date='Jan 10 2008, 04:34 PM']Blue Peter website... Might be a good place for tips on making my own Garry[/quote] Sorry, highly unhelpful comment from me.! I could ask if she wants to make you some but I suspect you'll find them cheaper elsewhere..

For the complete novice, far less groovesome is the Coronation Street theme. Was watching it yesterday and noticed the main tune is pulling and pushing all over the shop. Disclaimer - I don't normally watch that pap (my humble opinion) but it was on at my girlfriend's house!

Apart from the pedant in me saying it's F#, G# and C# instead of the flats, due to the key sig being E... Sorry Dood, I'll get me coat now

I wonder who designed this (and who is building it for that matter)... I know a fair few RF design bods in my current job and i've chatted to a couple of them about bass wireless systems and the fun involved. Hmmm, interesting

Bought this brand new from Andertons a couple of months back as my backup amp, replacing my old Trace head. I love it to bits, it sounds gorgeous at the 4 rehearsals i've used it at since then. However, our g**tarist has recently got a new Mesa Boogie combo and this simply can't keep up. I've avoided pushing it too hard as I realised fairly quickly it wouldn't cope with the volume. I persevered but alas it is not to be :-( Therefore I have decided it's gotta go, there's no point having a back up amp that doesn't do the job. Crappy phone pics attached: [attachment=4706:bassamp.JPG] [attachment=4707:bassamp2.jpg] Price-wise, Andertons have one at £249 in their sale so I'm going with the same price to start with since it's as new condition, never gigged (4 rehearsals is bugger all really!) and you get an aluminium case and speaker lead thrown in for good measure. Shipping is extra (prob around £20) or we can arrange something more convenient. Ta! Mert
