    The next step. by the same process of elimination, is to find out whether it's the cab or the amp that has the problem. If it's the cab, I'd open it up and check the wiring and the crossover. It sounds like the amp is trying to drive a load that is under the minimum allowable, but that's just a shot in the dark.

    [quote name='barkin' timestamp='1380884218' post='2231863'] Apologies if I've misunderstood, but wasn't this mentioned in the original discussion (a year or so ago, in the thread mention above by the OP) as a possible consequence if the driver was fitted in the Warwick cab ? [/quote] It was mentioned in that thread that the Warwick cab was probably a bit on the large side for the driver (which would reduce power handling), although we didn't have the exact dimensions to go on.

    The speaker was definitely overdriven but there is no reason to assume that this driver was mis-tuned in the Warwick cab.

    Very nice indeed. Thanks.

    You can filter items by proximity to your post code in eBay.

    As far as I know they are bridgeable - but it's a bit of a faff.

    Interesting. I'm in the market for one myself - so maybe I should get some quotes.
  8. stevie
    Sorry guys, it's on hold for someone who was quicker on the draw than you.

    I don't have any direct experience of either of these amps, but Chris's opinion is in line with what the guys are posting on the pro audio forums.

    Lee bought a bass from me last week. No probs at all and Lee was very pleasant to deal with.

    [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1380551671' post='2226934'] If anyone is having issues with feet falling off, email [email protected] and we'll find a solution. I believe we've sorted it for all G3 onwards cabs but that doesn't mean we don't care about everyone earlier - to be honest I think it's annoying me more than it is anyone else! [/quote] Well you can't say fairer than that. And yes, I can see why it would annoy you more than anyone else.

    And where does this leave the OP?

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1380549521' post='2226883'] Wow, I've never known such a touchy subject. Those who own VS those who do not own (and may have potentially tried them) is quite heated! [/quote] That's because some people have formed an unhealthy emotional attachment to their equipment. Say anything slightly negative about it and it's like insulting their granny.

    [quote name='MOSCOWBASS' timestamp='1380185078' post='2221869'] [i]shove matchstick(s) in the old screwhole and put back original screw.....worked on my big baby.[/i] [/quote] Customers shouldn’t have to use wood glue, sawdust and matchsticks to stop bits falling off a product that costs over a thousand pounds. Bear in mind also that you’re invalidating your warranty by modifying them. It looks like a design fault: the feet fixings are simply not fit for purpose. Normally you’d take the product back to the shop and insist that the retailer sorts it out. In this case, the OP needs to get Barefaced to collect, fix the problem, and send the speaker back. It is well within the 12-month warranty period – so there shouldn’t be any problem.

    [b]Dr Bass 1260 500W bass cab - £180 ono[/b] This is a great-sounding cab, but I have too many as it is and I've just bought a combo from a fellow Basschatter. So it's got to go. Dr Bass was/is an American bass cab maker with something of a chequered history, although they seem to be back in business now and have a website running. Build quality is second to none. This is one of their model 1260 cabs, beautifully built from quality ply and finished in a totally indestructible sprayed finish. 500W power handling. 8 ohms. Ceramic drivers. 3-way with 12-inch bass, 6-inch mid, and HF unit. Swaps? A Peavey IPR1600 or similar power amp. Sorry, but for the moment it is collect only from Dorchester, as I don't have a suitable box. I could also meet up somewhere not too far away also. [Edit: It looks like a moth landed on the cab in of of these pictures. Please be assured, the covering is immaculate.]

    Try this: <http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANTEX-SOLDERING-IRON-30w-/251338744859?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item3a84f4e41b> - ending later today. The names to look for are Weller and Antex. The blue Weller soldering station is an industry standard and will last you for a lifetime, if you can afford one. There is a lot of cheap Chinese stuff around that is best avoided.

    Try a Behringer PEQ 2200 5-band parametric equalizer. It's a mono unit, has a jack input that will match your bass and offers balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (jack) outputs to your amp. The EQ section is more flexible than any bass amp on the planet and it also offers a low cut (at 30Hz I think) and bypass switches for each EQ section or for the entire unit. It's totally transparent in operation and very quiet. The downside is that it has Behringer on the front. Plus, it probably offers more flexibility than anyone could possibly need, which takes a bit of getting used to - plenty of people prefer the simplicity of just bass mid and treble controls. They don't make them anymore, but you can pick them up on eBay for about £50. I'll stick my head out and suggest that in a blind test you won't be able to hear any difference between this and loz's Millenia (at £1500).

    MOOCs are one of the best things to have happened in the 21st century.

    Thanks Andy!

    I already have a firm offer for the JBL cabs from a BC'er who is too far away to collect. If anyone local to Dorset is interested, please let me know asap - otherwise I'll be packing them up and shipping them out within the next few days. [edit] Buyer dropped out - so now available for delivery.
  22. stevie
    The Behringer has now gone.

    I just sold Paul a pickup (to go with the bridge I sold him last week) . As usual, he was a joy to deal with.
  24. stevie
    Yes, Paul. We seem to have a common interest in exotic, expensive bass guitar parts. Maybe I can buy something from you next time.
  25. stevie
    Ivan bought some pickups from me and proved to be an excellent person to do business with. Thanks!
