[font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]When I used mine with an Ashdown 2x12 I had plenty of clean headroom and with the master volume thingy on the back was able to run it pretty clean. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I did upgrade the EL34’s to JJ E34L’s which supposedly help out a big headroom wise[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]For Trade – My Ibanez PD7 Phat Head pedal for your EHX Big Bass Muff Pi[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]I bought the pedal very recently in my continuing quest for a Chelsea Dagger type clanky overdrive. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]The PD7 basically doesn’t have enough low end loss for me – which is what most people actually try and avoid![/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]It gives a lovely bassy sludgy kind of sound with a nice drive that isn’t too ‘fake fizzy’ for want of a better word. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Only slight bad point is the Attack Button doesn’t work, it is set at Off which has never been a problem for me (apparently Off is standard, 1 adds a few overtones/harmonics and 2 adds even more).[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]In good condition and willing to post or meet up within reasonable distance of Bolton. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Cash top up is fine from my end too.[/color][/size][/font]

Brian bought my Traynor valve head in my 2nd dealing with him and it was just as smooth a transaction as the first time. Great meeting you Brian!

[font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I currently use Dunlop Max Grip Nylon picks as I love the rough grippy texture on them. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Does anyone know of any tortex material picks that also feature a grooved/grippy surface?[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Ive tried Gator Grip ones but they seemed to lose their grip at the slightest hint of sweat. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]What im really after is a grooved and rough surface but on a tortex type pick[/color][/size][/font]

Has anyone gone from lightweight back to heavy?
Pow_22 replied to AndyTravis's topic in Amps and Cabs
[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Yup – always loved big valve amps (sound city 200, 120, Bassman 135, SVT’s, VBA400, Traynor YBA200, Ashdown Drophead 200) then for some reason decided to try going lightweight. [/font][/color][/size] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Head wise I went through Orange Bass Terror (which I actually really liked), TB RH450, TC BH250, Ashdown LB550, Ampeg portaflex 350 – none of them did what I wanted.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Cab wise I went through an Ashdown VS212, a Barefaced 1 x 12, an Ashdown neo 4x8, TC 2x12 – didn’t like any of them (the VS212 wasn’t terrible).[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Now im back to a good old SVT, V4BH and an Ampeg 410he – back to being happy with my tone[/color][/size][/font] -
[font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I would suggest the Orange Bass terror too. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Im a bit of an all valve snob but the OBT is one of the only hyrbirds ive tried/heard that really did it for me[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Traynor YBA200 all valve bass amp.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]This has been professionally upgraded to the YBA200-2 specs by Mike Powell @ MPA Service following help from Darren Butt at Yorkville which bypasses the supposed self bias system that caused issues on several units. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Part of the upgrade also is to replace/upgrade the standard issue 6550’s with JJ KT88’s.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The amp has never given me an ounce of trouble and, being quite rare for a valve amp as it uses a toroidal transformer – it weighs less than my old Ashdown ABM!.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]No dings, scuffs, knocks or bumps and comes with fitted Roqsolid dust cover.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Now the difficult bit – describing the sound.

Traynor YBA200? Even as a 200w all valve effort they use torodial transformers so keeps the weight down. Probably weights the same as a sleeved Ashdown ABM -

Afternoon all, im looking to get my Ampeg 10" driver reconed following some buzzing and farting last night. On closer inspection the speaker cone in the concertina part has a split in it. Ive seen the eminence B810's as a replacement but was wondering if a recone would be cheaper
