  1. [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]
  2. Had one for a few years and loved it. Don't need a roqsolid dust cover for it do you?
  3. Also offered for sale now at £25 posted within UK
  4. [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!
  6. [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]
  7. Bought a pedal off Dan in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae Danger here
  8. [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]
  9. [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]
  10. Could potentially open up to trades/Part ex. I like P basses and semi hollow bases (a MIM 50's RI is burst or an ebony Jack Casady would tickle my pickle)
  11. Valves will help keep you warm in the winter months type bump
  12. New amp is here type bump. Reduced on Ebay to £500 ONO so open to offers
  13. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Gave this a good blast last night at the studio and as is always the case when I put gear up for sale, it sounded monumental. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Did Substitute by The Who and I got some lovely valvey growls when digging in [/color][/size][/font][size="3"][color="#000000"][font=Wingdings][font=Wingdings]J[/font][/font][/color][/size]
  14. [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. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I play it through an Ampeg 410he with a flats loaded P bass.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]The sound is thick and meaty without being boomy (the Resonance control is excellent for that).[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]It does break up when pushed and I play just on the edge of this.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Never EVER ran out of headroom playing in medium sized clubs without PA support.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The amp works with 8ohm or 4ohm cabs with its impedance selector switch.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Im looking for [b][u]£500 [/u][/b][/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]collected from Bolton (have it at a higher price on eBay) or could deliver within reasonable distance.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Comes with the Roqsolid cover, 3mth old JJ KT88’s and given the overall great condition I think it’s a reasonable price for a light 200w all valve amp.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Trials welcome.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]My Photobucket account is playing up so will need to email pics to any potential buyers.

  15. 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
  16. Anth bought some strings off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  17. 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
