    Full EDIT bump

    would love it but distance is an issue, would also need to sell my 2x15 to fund it (and satisfy the mrs's obsession with 'space'). Good luck with the sale

    [size=2][color=#000000]**Complete Edit after stupid GAS moment**[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Whilst I still really want the SVT CL head and 610 cab ive realised my priority should be to give my current head a good go with a 610. The valves do sound brilliant if im honest and take my GAS specs off.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]The problem seems to be our drummer is an absolute animal and we all have to crank our gear to get heard. In my last band I never really even heard the valve breakup this amp pumps out. The new band means im almost maxing out and need a few more speakers I think to tighten up the sound and help cut through.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]I looked at the VBC 412’s on here and whilst they would be good I think its pointless me buying gear only to try and upgrade to the Ampeg stuff in the near future….[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Anyway – Im now offering for sale or part-trade my Fender Bassman 2x15 cab.[/color][/size] [b][size=2][color=#000000]Fender Bassman 135 2x15 Cab[/color][/size][/b] [size=2][color=#000000]Tall silverfaced 2x15 cab. Contains Emminece Gamma speakers to give a total handling of around 200w. Again tolex is tatty with a few 'flaps' that could do with gaffa taping back down. Silver cloth grill is in very good condition given its age. Looks like a proper old bass cab should, tall, silvery and oozing mojo.[/color][/size] [size=2][color=#000000]Im after the ampeg 610 as mentioned so would certainly entertain offers of one. Depending on condition I would obviously top up with cash from my end.[/color][/size] [color=#000000]Cash wise ill say £280 collected from Manchester or delivered within reason. Cab is set up in our studio in Bolton so if someone wanted to try their amp/bass through it that’s fine.[/color]

    Im after tryin to clear up a bit of early breakup on my SC valve amp, i assume stickin these in would help but would i loose overall headroom?

    +1 for Jack. Had a few basses pass through his very capable hands. Always a top job and really takes time out to see how you want it set up rather than just going right into it and setting up how he plays

    Cheers for the help. I did consider switchin out the pre-amp valves for something less gainy but had also read lots of comments elsewhere on the SC's 'unique' eq so i think ill have a play with that first. My settings are usually (as you look at the amp front). Volume about 1-2oclock, Bass at 3o'clock, Mid at 1 - 2 oclock and treble on about 12'oclock. I use the normal input as opposed to brilliant and leave the presence at 12'oclock too. Ill try and turn them all down equally and boost the volume a little and see if that helps. Ive always been crap at eq'ing (even on solid states), you'd think id have the hang of it by now but like i say i believe the SC is a different beast so my 'usual' amp settings may not apply to SC

    Very tempted by the VBC 4x12, this may be what i need to get more clean headroom from my Sound City 120 before the valve fuzz kicks in. Ill need to move some gear around but as soon as i do ill get in touch
  9. Pow_22
    Any chance a mod can move this to the amps section for a cack handed valve newbie please?

    Last night at rehearsal we played a little louder than usual, not thrash but just a little cranked. I run my Sound City 120 through a fender bassman 2x15 and last night was using my flats loaded P bass. I had the volume at about half way and obviously got the usual valve 'fuzz' or break-up. I knew id get this but to think i was getting loads of it at only half volume (i say only but i know this is pretty loud). It has recently come back from Dave Lunt who gave it a full service, replaced some caps and a pre-amp valve. The valve was a like for like replacement. MY question is do SC's always break up at this kind of level and is there anything i can do to get it a little clearer at this level. Dont get me wrong, i love the valve break-up and fuzz but would just like a little more clean headroom before getting all down and dirty. Could it be i need to look at my cab? Would 2 15's be making my ampo work harder (as in with say a 6x10 would i get more 'volume' without cranking the amp so high?)

    Look to cash in the Bison (maybe about £400 with its hard case), bank most of the dosh then keep my eye out for a used Squire VM tele bass
  12. Pow_22
    Over Xmas this GAS decision has come back. To the point now where im thinking of just doing it. The bison has all the reciepts from its set ups, fret dresses etc since ive had it. Plus ive got a Hiscox case for it so i would say in total i would want around £400 for it, this should leave me with enough to source a second hand Squire TB, get a parchment p/guard for it from Bassdoc and fit the relevant bridge cover. Hmmmmm should i sleep on it?

    Cool, thanks for that Monckyman. Im over at the outlaws until late next week but will get in touch when im back.

    Im thinking about getting some castors fitted to my 2x15. Not sure where ill take it to do this but hopefully ill find somewhere local. My main question is do people notice a difference in stage sound at all? Im slightly concerned that having my cab raised will loose some of the juicy rumble from it. What castors do people recomend? Finally does anyone know of anywhere in the North West that fits them seeing my DIY skills end and fitting new p bass pups!

    Valves, P bass, flats, Done.
  16. Pow_22
    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
  17. Pow_22
    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?

    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

    [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

    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'

    BUMP. PM's replied to for those interested in parts rather than full thing, neck pocket measurements on way

    Bobby bought a P bass harness off me, quick payement, good comms, what else do you want from a transcation? Top basschatter.
