    Newbie needs help with new Phil Jones Flightcase

    Yep, when I reported my fault I was told by the UK distributor to buy a step down transformer and run it at 120v!!!! I sent it back and got a Super Flightcase, which, as you've said above, is fine, being a Class A-B. I was really annoyed with the situation as clearly both PJB and the...

    Ampeg SVT210AV Micro Classic Bass Cabinet

    I've got the Micro head and 2xSVT210AV. Great rig for the size, weight and price, but I found that the tone isn't quite as sweet when played really loud (or as loud as it will go). A Sansamp VT pedal seems to help a lot. Highly recommended rig though, haven't used my Walkabout head through the...

    Hard case for Mesa Walkabout head

    Apparently the link no longer works. In the catalogue they show the Walkabout head in an oversized black tolex case, which is exactly what I'm after Chris

    Hard case for Mesa Walkabout head

    Hi guys, looking for one of the above (there's a pic in the link here Invalid Link Removed). I've contacted Mesa in UK and US without much luck. Anyone know where I can get one? I'm in the UK but prepared to import one if needs be Thanks Chris

    PJB Briefcase problem - anybody?

    Hi Chris, I've just bought a PJB Flightcase and it's also making a lot of noise (I've posted here about it). The dealer contacted PJB and, apparently, they said it was normal as it's a class D amp!!!!!!! So, I emailed PJB myself, twice, and have had no response. So, crap kit and crap customer...

    Newbie saying hi

    Hi mate Thanks for the welcome. The '64 is, well, how do I say it without being rude, ****ing awesome! I've something of a reputation for buying a bass, playing it for anything between a week (a Status with which I most certainly did not get on), and a year (current fretless Jazz), and moving...

    Newbie needs help with new Phil Jones Flightcase

    Odd isn't it. Perhaps this, from the dealer, will help: "In short he (PJ) said that the Flightcase does produce a background noise because its a class D amplifier with digital switchmode power supply, all class D amplifiers have this background noise however the Flightcase has a very low...

    Thanks RB. To be completely accurate, the noise is probably more a whistle than a hiss. I've owned a lot of amps and not come across a sound like it. It sits above the sound of the amp quite significantly. If I'm palying loud, no problem, but if I drop the volume a bit, there it is, whistling...

    Newbie needs help with new Phil Jones Flightcase

    Hi guys First post here, apologies that it's a request for help. I bought a Phil Jones Flightcase new from a UK retailer this week. I've used PJB gear before and love the tone and functionality, so I was a bit disappointed to get a really noticable hissing sound as soon as I turned it on...

    Newbie saying hi

    Well, sorta newbie, I've been using TB as a resourse for several years, and really have no idea why it's taken me so long to register. I've been a member of Basschat in the UK for a few years and regularly post there. Anyway, I've been playing since 1979, first bass was a Westone Thunder...
