Sounds like a phase cancellation problem. I know you said it's wired perfectly, but I'd try swapping the positive and negative leads on the Jazz pickup (only). I suspect that's the first thing Andy suggested though.

You can take it out of the circuit but you need to make sure you do it at the right place, which would normally be before the crossover to the tweeter. However, as long as there are no crossover components in parallel with the tweeter it would be safe to simply unplug one of the connections on your tweeter.

I can build a sealed cab myself but ported or reflex is too much hassle .. actually am only going to cut-down cab I've already done & probably get flightcaseuk to put a 'finishing' touch on it = cab/flightcase in 1 .. still looking at other cab options but haven't even got my new amp yet ![/quote] Simon, you are not going to find a 12-inch speaker suitable for a sealed bass cab, because nobody makes them. Everyone uses ported cabinets nowadays, because they are more efficient and handle more power. Once you have an idea of the internal volume of your box, post it on here and someone will tell you what size of port you need. It's not that hard.

[quote name='Thornybank' post='388991' date='Jan 22 2009, 08:30 PM']Main reliability iissue is the pre/amp cooupler. Fiddly to get at, but a hardwire fix sorts that stupid clip thing they used.[/quote] Interesting. How do you get the clip off? I tried and gave up.

[quote name='Thornybank' post='388991' date='Jan 22 2009, 08:30 PM']Demo alongside anything under £500 and it will win on most counts. They are small and they really punch. They stuff an Ashdown 300 and give the 500 a good run for its money.[/quote] Not completely on topic (sorry) but how does the Mk VI AH200 compare? I bought one recently but haven't been able to compare it with anything else.

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='388230' date='Jan 22 2009, 09:30 AM']If it's that good, why can I find no aftermarket Neo pick-ups?! SD, DiMarzio, Bartolini, Delano? Nope.[/quote] I'd be interested in an informed answer to this question, too. Q-tuner makes neo pickups, by the way. The main benefit of neodymium is its weight/strength ratio. That's hardly an issue with pickups, as standard magnet types provide more than enough magnetic flux to do the job. Personally, I wonder why pickup makers are still using alnico at all. Is it the 'vintage' thing or do they also have a practical benefit?

Why do you want a sealed cabinet? Reflex is the usual way to go.

Maybe this will make you feel better, Ferret.

I really liked this and, more importantly, I think my kids would like it. Well done.

The ones i ve got was a decent one 35 euros but broken now..[/quote] Get yourself a second hand pair of Sennheiser 580s. They are the biz. Very, very accurate. Clean. Extended bass. Comfortable. They will last you a lifetime. Not far behind the world-class 650s. I have both.

[quote name='bremen' post='385454' date='Jan 19 2009, 09:49 PM']Also slightly worrying is the fact that when I click on 'Former Paypal Employee #1 clears his conscience & offers help' I get a message from Opera that reads: 'The page you are trying to open has been reported as fraudulent. It will likely attempt to trick you into sharing personal or financial information. Opera Software strongly discourages visiting this page.'[/quote] There is an official warning on the site itself about pages like that. The site is a real shambles.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' post='385438' date='Jan 19 2009, 09:36 PM']Well ... I know the charges are a pain. Seems most of the issues that site raises, though, are about what happens when you're a seller who accepts payment by paypal ... and then there's an ebay dispute. Have you ever experienced these problems ? Slightly worrying is the link at the bottom of each forum entry "CLICK HERE FOR [i][u][b]OUR[/b][/u][/i] PAYPAL ALTERNATIVE" which links to a paypal competitor. If I was uncharitable I might conclude that the whole thing has been set up by the competitor to try and defame paypal.[/quote] The only time I've had a problem with Paypal was when I tried to claim on their guarantee. That was an eye opener, although fortunately the amount involved wasn't very big. As far as paypalsucks is concerned, it may have been set up by a competitor. I don't know (it's certainly financed by a competitor). Even if it were, its size would attract a goodly proportion of genuine gripes. So I wouldn't discount everything on there - you just have to make a judgement. There is plenty of discontent about Paypal all over the web. This one is typical: [url="http://www.thestirrer.co.uk/ec1009061.html"]http://www.thestirrer.co.uk/ec1009061.html[/url]. Put 'paypal account frozen' into Google and you'll get nearly 1.5 million hits. I'm not on an anti-paypal mission. I'm just saying be careful and consider the possibility of withdrawing your direct debit authority once you have been 'confirmed'.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='385188' date='Jan 19 2009, 05:41 PM']With 3-or-4 chord country, where the song is king, it's easy to fall into the trap of playing the same thing over and over again. For that reason, you need to know the song inside-out - not just from a bass perspective. Learn the melody , and what the other instruments are doing, and work with those. Pick up on little moments, and embellish them. That's what will set you apart.[/quote] In amongst all the drivel that appears on this forum (including mine), that is a really excellent piece of advice.
