  1. The ad is confusing. The item is listed as 'For parts or not working' but the description says its in good working order. Plus, bidders identities are being hidden, which is always a bit iffy. And, of course, it's only been up for a day.
  2. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='906191' date='Jul 26 2010, 06:51 PM']Sensible sized voice coil says not some silly rated car sub.[/quote] Yes, you can also tell from the double roll surround that they are a PA driver. I don't expect these are going to be amazing, but for that price it's worth taking a punt because you know you'll always get your money back. Some of the Asian loudspeakers can now match what is available from the top European makers - and at a much lower price. I couldn't quite tell from the photo, but these may even have had a cast chassis.
  3. The Complete Electric Bassist is by far the best book published to help you learn to read for the bass guitar, IMO. Only available secondhand now, it leaves others in the dust. It's such a shame they didn't publish volume 2. For a bit of variety, dig into the Major's Boot Camp here in the Theory and Technique section. The Major covers a lot of the same material but in a more modern way.
  4. Here's a pair of neo 15" bass drivers for those interested in reducing the weight of their cabs. They look like the usual Celestion/Monacor fare. Currently at £51 with not much interest - probably because they're in the DJ section.

  5. [quote name='Ricardo' post='904162' date='Jul 24 2010, 05:20 PM']Hello mate, is your amp still up for sale ?[/quote] No. It will be winging its way to me next week.
  6. I do so enjoy the intelligent exchange of views and information here on Basschat.
  7. [quote name='PauBass' post='900579' date='Jul 20 2010, 10:48 PM']I can't find it [/quote] I've just checked and there are chrome ones on there but no black I'm afraid.
  8. [quote name='steve' post='870969' date='Jun 18 2010, 05:48 PM']bump for offers/trades[/quote] Steve, I'll give you a tenner for the pickup surround.
  9. [quote name='PauBass' post='900420' date='Jul 20 2010, 07:57 PM']No one knows? It wasn't that long ago but I can't remember what thread was mentioned in...I need a black Badass for my Fender Geddy I it was in stock in that shop.[/quote] There is someone (dealer maybe) selling a new one on eBay.
  10. The alter the pickup's resonant peak. They don't make a huge amount of difference. These are great pickups. I used to have one until I got a bass with a separate active circuit. Loud and punchy but still close to a vintage tone. Also works without a battery in an emergency.

    [quote name='SteveO' post='898468' date='Jul 18 2010, 10:57 PM']Maybe its a Europe thing?[/quote] In theory, the EU is a free market and companies cannot restrict trade in their products within the EU. What companies do outside the EU is their business.
  12. [quote name='umph' post='899112' date='Jul 19 2010, 04:33 PM']thats your problem there the bright box isn't really gonna keep up with the ampeg is it in terms of output![/quote] Plus I believe the 800RB crosses over at 5kHz, which would remove most of the useful output from the Brightbox.
  13. [quote name='BeachComa' post='899069' date='Jul 19 2010, 03:54 PM']Major props to you, btw, for identifying the drivers based on my less than ideal description! Do you have one?[/quote] No, I don't have one, but I've used the driver and it has a unique appearance. I'm just guessing based on what the cabs look like. You might find some kind of markings if you take one of the drivers out of the box.
  14. [quote name='BeachComa' post='898196' date='Jul 18 2010, 05:15 PM']I hooked it up and it sounds great at moderate volumes. It adds a nice smooth mid/high content, especially compared to the harsh tweeter in my ashdown MAG 2x10. At high volumes/low notes, it starts farting and it seems only the replaced driver is at fault. So I'll be hunting around for an original... anyone got a spare? [/quote] Your chances of finding a replacement driver are extremely slim. Judging from the outside, these were Audax 5" midrange drivers. It was a very nice driver but Audax only made them for a short time. I believe they were discontinued about 20 years ago. I'm not very impressed by your seller.
  15. What's the classic album series? Actually, I don't really care. One of my favorite CDs. It stands the test of time.
  16. There's one in our local music shop in good nick priced at £1500.
  17. I've had this in my diary for months - and I missed it! Still here trying to finish a job that has to be delivered first thing tomorrow. All that lovely hardware so near and yet so far. Sorry folks. I promise to try harder next time. Looking forward to the pics.
  18. I don't know about the rest of your stuff, but your price for the power amp is much too low. Of course, it's your amp and you can sell it for what you like.
  19. Old Horse Murphy is looking for one of those. Check the 'Wanted' section. (On second thoughts, it's a III he is after).
  20. Looking forward to trying one of those excellent Barefaced Compacts. I'll be bringing a Yamaha BB1100S with pickups, tuners and bridge suitably upgraded. Fitted with a set of TI flats. My amplification is currently a work in progress - so that will be staying at home.
  21. Lovely! And it's nice to know that it's also being played, rather than stuck in a cupboard.
  22. [quote name='Dubs' post='885550' date='Jul 4 2010, 04:31 PM'] bargain! How can the speakers cost more than the complete cab?![/quote] Buying power plus selling directly to the public. It's an unbeatable deal as long as the logo is removable.
  23. [quote name='JackLondon' post='885559' date='Jul 4 2010, 04:58 PM']Anyone know where I can get these in UK > [url="http://www.reliablehardware.com/mediumrecessedtiltcasterhousingblack.aspx"]http://www.reliablehardware.com/mediumrece...usingblack.aspx[/url][/quote] That looks like an Adam Hall wheel. The mesh looks like some kind of fencing product but I've no idea where you can get it from. EBS use some neat fencing wire for their grilles that looks even nicer.
