I wouldnt mind a go of the Bugera badged valve/hybrid amps. The clone of the SVT CL and the 4 pre amp Valved effort

Anyone help identify this valve i found in a box in out loft (not my uncles loft!). From what i can tell on Google its a blackburn coded mullard? Its a Cv491 with the codes 'Gf2' and 'B4F4' on the bottom. I have no means of testing other than whacking it in one of the Hartkes and seeing if it works. Can post pics later if it helps

[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Anyone know where I can get one of these knocked up using my current plate as a template? Id even consider a plastic ‘simulated’ anodised guard if necessary. The bass is just a cheapo ‘project’ ive picked up. Being sunburst and glossy maple I think it would look great with an anodised guard, chrome pup cover and tug bar.

The warwick seems to be what im after. Its not bulky and just pretty plain and simple looking. Think they are around £50 as well so not too bad. Might stick a wanted ad on here and if nowt comes up will splash out on a new one. Cheers

My last cab was an Ashdown and as it was the deep model it wouldve been fine. The Hartke AK cab im currently using is noticably less deep, maybe not much more than the LH500 so around 15" possibly?

[size="3"][color="#000000"]LH500 users who rackmount – what case are you using? I bought a Stagg 2U one off here and whilst the case is brilliant it’s a little too big for what I need. It hangs off the back of the cab and dosent feel fully secure with its plastic shiny feet against a shiny tolex – can see it rumbling off. Im after something maybe less bulky and certainly smaller (depth wise). Ive considered a few options:-[/color][/size] [size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size] [color="#000000"][font=Symbol][size="3"]·[/size] [/font][size="3"]Roqsolid padded cover – Will be good but worried about level of protection[/size][/color] [color="#000000"][font=Symbol][size="3"]·[/size] [/font][size="3"]2U carpet covered sleeve – again would be good (even better if it was tolext covered) but no lids so buttons exposed in transit[/size][/color] [color="#000000"][font=Symbol][size="3"]·[/size] [/font][size="3"]2U wooden sleeve then buy a basic roqsolid cover to fit over the whole thing.[/size][/color] [size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size] [size="3"][color="#000000"]Having never rackmounted before im not even sure im doing it right. Currently (in the Stagg case) ive had to remove the amps rubber feet to get it in and just used the screws at the front to secure – am I meant to secure the amp internally too?[/color][/size] [size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size] [size="3"][color="#000000"]Of course if anyone has a small 2U case/sleeve (depth around 13” for the Hartke) and fancies a trade id be up for it tho id need to put that in the correct forum place.[/color][/size]

As a few of you will know im a massive Hartke fan having used their combo's, HA2500 and currently HA5500. Cab wise ive had their VX115, 410 Transporter and most recently the VX215. I managed to grab a bargain from their recent Korg sell out and arriving today was the Hartke AK410. A sealed 4x10 bass cab with switchable titanium 1" driver/tweeter. The first thing i notice is how solid it feels (not surprising with Hartke). Currently pairing with my HA5500 (toying with the idea of a LH500) & my trusty P bass it sounds mega - as mega as it can at baby-in-bed volume anyway. Really forget how small 4x10's are when you have been rocking a 2x15 too Cant wait to crank it at rehearsal on sunday. Pics to follow. Quick thanks to andy67 who supplied me with quite a detailed PM when i asked about his AK410 whilst i was contemplating my buy
