    Oops. Its not that I don't think Limelight basses are good, I just think their relicing is probably the most unconvincing ive seen
  3. Pow_22
    A better relic job than the majority of Limelights 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]

    I had the 330 head and was surprised at the results of some tube rolling in these. Normally hybrids valves are more for show than anything but I got great results with a high gain Chinese 12AX7 in V1 and a JJ in v2, lovely bit of grind/drive

    [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]DR Legend Flats cut for 4 in-a-row headstock and lived on my P bass for about 6 minutes max. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]The tension was the only thing I didn’t like about them – a little TOO low for me (not TI wet noodle/rubber band but not as taught as my usual Elites).[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Great thumpy tone and classy looking yellow/gold silks.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Come in original box and like new.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Yours for £20 delivered in UK[/color][/size][/font]
