  1. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Strung on a P bass for all of 5mins but completely uncut so plenty of winds and will fit any 4 string bass.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Nice tone but a little TOO Low tension for me (definitely not wet noodle TI’s tho)[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Come in original pack and price includes UK postage[/color][/size][/font]
  2. Chris bought some flats off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  3. Ian bought some flats off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  4. Got one of these spare as when I ordered a 4 string set they accidently sent me a 5er. Unused and still in original packet £5 delivered in UK
  5. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Ive got 3 x unopened sets of NOS Picato Flatwounds in original packs for sale.[/color][/size][/font] [list] [*]Long Scale [*][color=#000000]45-105[/color] [/list] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Picato seemingly changed their formula a few years ago but these are the originals. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]You can no longer get the 45-105 gauge that these NOS ones are, they added silk at both ends (these are completely unsilked) and they now seem a bit more modern sounding (these are proper old school dark thumpers).[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]I have kept these in a sealed food bag with a pouch of silica gel in since I got them around 6mths ago so should be in good nick and ready to thump away.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Looking for £15 per set and that will include delivery in UK. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]If someone wants all three then I’m sure we could do a deal[/color][/size][/font]
  6. Hmmmmm, tempted for a mini rig. Would an SVT blow this up tho?
  7. You know which model/size this is?
  8. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Ive been chasing a reasonable live interpretation of the Chelsea Dagger bass sound recently. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Its not so much distortion/fuzz but a valvey trebley clank.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]I use a valve amp and P bass and get closest by kicking in my LPB-1 and pushing my valves into breakup but its still not quite clankey enough. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Im wondering if swapping my LPB-1 for a treble booster or the treble version of the LPB-1 – The Screaming Bird?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]I don’t want the sound to go thin and weedy but im thinking this may give me the more trebly valve clank I desire. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Anyone here use one and able to comment?[/color][/size][/font]

  11. Oops. Its not that I don't think Limelight basses are good, I just think their relicing is probably the most unconvincing ive seen
  12. A better relic job than the majority of Limelights ive seen!
  13. [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Ive been enjoying my YB200 valve amp for a while now. [/color][color="#000000"]Had it upgraded to the YBA200-2 specs a few months ago including a new quad of JJ KT88’s in the power section.[/color] [color="#000000"]It gives a lovely valvey, bouncy, thick, gritty sound that I love with my 4x10 and flats loaded P bass.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Anyway, last week I decided to do a bit of tube rolling with the 2 x 12AX7’s in the pre. [/color][color="#000000"]It was sporting some Tung Sols but I wanted to give a JJ a try in V2 to take a bit of top away.[/color] [color="#000000"]Relatively easy process and put the amp back in its case and went to power on.[/color] [color="#000000"]The power light blinked then went off – the amp was now dead.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]I checked various things and it turned out to be the fuse in the sled under where the kettle lead goes in. [/color][color="#000000"]No biggie, I got a 10 pack from Maplins for about £2 – got home, fitted, fired up fine and played for two hours problem free.[/color] [color="#000000"]Then – last night at rehearsal I set the amp it, flicked it on to warm up and same thing happened – light blinked, fuse blown.[/color] [/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Luckily I had the spares on me so quickly replaced the fuse and enjoyed a problem free 4hr rehearsal. [/color][color="#000000"]We have 2 weeks off now so id like to look properly into why the fuse has popped twice but then been problem free upon replacing.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Could it just be bad luck and the first replacement was a dud? [/color][color="#000000"]Could it be something more sinister inside the amp?[/color] [color="#000000"]One thing I was told at the time of the upgrade was he couldn’t get the KT88’s to within the Traynor recommended bias – they recommend 75mV with a + or – 10mV tolerance but the closest he could get was 90mV.[/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]One last thing – I noticed the replacement ones I got from Maplins in a hurry were normal ‘fast blow’ fuses – could it be I need the slow blow version?[/color][/font][/size]
