  1. Which model did you go for ahpook? Im gonna be ordering another of the classic #2's in black this week for my P bass
  2. Haha of course i meant you Oli! So effectively i had the lead plugged into the cab socket on the back of the amp but not had the other end attached to anything then that wouldve been bad - as opposed to basically having the amp completely unattached?
  3. Im taking my SC in for a full service soon but as it hadnt been fired up for a few weeks i thought id give it a blast this weekend. I set it up in the spare room and flicked it onto stand by while i had a brew and let the valves all warm. Came back in, plugged the bass in and flicked on the power......nothing happened, no noise, no nothing. I looked in and all the EL34's were glowing niceley....i couldnt fathom out what was wrong. Then i checked the back......id put the jack lead for the cab into the Effects Loop input and not the Cabs socket. I quickly switched it off (even tho im a valve newbie i know never to turn on an amp with no load). Anyway, i re-connected the lead correctly and tentively switched it all back on. The amp is working fine now but having had it on standby with no load for a good 20 mins im wondering what damage i could have done to it? Its going in for a service soon and i may well be taking up Mr Foxton on a great offer of some EL34's but just wondering what damage i could have done to the amp
  4. [sup]i want that bass!!!! That is stunning[/sup]
  5. [url="http://www.bearstraps.com/"]http://www.bearstraps.com/[/url] Mine was £40 and compared to the more expensive El Dorado straps are exeptional quality. I opted for a Classic #2, sent my specs through and the strap arrived within 48 hrs. Apparently he supplies quite a few big names too, Noel Gallagher had a set of 10 classic #1's made for his tour according to Rupert
  6. Perhaps try a more 'smiley face' eq setting? Boost the bass and mids and maybe drop the far end off a bit. From what youve said there it seems your leaving bass and mids flat and boosting treble so it will sound a little 'light'
  7. BUMP. PM's replied to for those interested in parts rather than full thing, neck pocket measurements on way
  8. Bobby bought a P bass harness off me, quick payement, good comms, what else do you want from a transcation? Top basschatter.
  9. Shame about the bassman i have the matching 2x15 cab and its a great sound with my Sound City, woukld love to try it with a 135 tho

    Bought the Carlsbro combo off Will today. Great guy to deal with, lovely bass collection (the hagstrom was particularly nice), lovely cat too Smooth transaction, no problems at all
  11. [quote name='bremen' timestamp='1321966788' post='1444848'] I'd have had this, but I've just done a deal with an old slapper... [/quote] Sounds fun
  12. Cheers, just ordered a cover for me valve head, been meaning to do it for a while
  13. Tough crowd. How about ill build the bass (expect pups and harness), string it with new-ish Picatto Flats, give it a set up and offer delivery within 10 miles for £50? There's a pic further up of what it looks like built and a decent pic on the Precisions thread in Gear Porn
  14. Out of interest (and for a free bump) what is the amp in your 'stack' picture, 2nd one down on the right. That silver grill cloth head would look great sat on my bassman cab, shame i love my B120 so much at the moment
  15. feel like im on Dragons Den here but....maybe we could persuade the OP to let me buy the combo (ill collect) and then could offer P&P on the bass (obviously shouldnt be too expensive now ive taken the heavy part)?
  16. no interest on anyone going 'in with me' on the deal. You get the bass, i get the combo?
  17. Right, ill sell the body with matching Fender decalled rosewood neck, tort guard, thumb rest and a set of unfitted elephant ear tuners (all you'll need is pups and wires for a Pino look.....£50 collected from Manchester?
  18. Ill throw this out there peeps. Id love the combo so if anyone wants the bass maybe we could do some sort of deal. Im not a million miles away from Leeds so i dont mind going over to collect if someone on here wants the bass we could do a deal between us, £75 for the two is a bargain so rather than try and haggle with the OP on a split i thought id just guage if there'd be any interest if the bass was picked up from Leeds and brought back to the correct side of the pennines? (joke BTW before i get a yorkshire lynch mob after me
  19. would love to try a set of the black nylons on my Bison (apparently the bass they were invented for). Bit pricey tho and i do like the sound of the current Roto fkats i have on it
  20. No worries, give us a shout if it falls through, been after one for a while
