[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]

[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]

Oops. Its not that I don't think Limelight basses are good, I just think their relicing is probably the most unconvincing ive seen -

[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]
