Aubrey did indeed reply promptly and has put me in touch with a guy this side of the pond. Thanks again chaps. ;)

Batteries checked out and supply is ok Rick. Thanks for the suggestions JTE, no joy with those unfortunately, and I got the bass second hand with no known warranty. Thanks for that address dog1, I'll e-mail him now - I'd love to know what is the point of Peavey customer service if they ignore...

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I'm no further forward..having e-mailed Peavey customer service TWICE and receiving no reply whatsoever, I'll have to get external help. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH PEAVEY.............

Thanks logic, I also feared that this may be the case, I don't know how I would identify it being the preamp though - any way to use a meter on it? I recently fitted a Nordy preamp to my main bass and looked at the price of the Peavey unit because it is great. I was amazed to find how much...

Cheers Bongo, I went straight into the dressing room to check inside the panel and it is a rat's nest in there! But I will check the battery wires soldering, I did not think to check them....

Anyone out there got any idea why my Peavey Cirrus BXP recently died on me? :confused: Although the timing was perfect as it gave up right at the end of our first set :), with a fizzy disintegration of sound which suggested my batteries had simply given up :rollno: However, after replacing them...

It's a Westone Superheadless, cheesy to some, but as I sing and play at the same time, and I've had it 24 years ,it sits just right and plays itself :D I can't part with it but wanted to upgrade it. Very glad I did.;)

In a word - smooth. All three tones are very nicely chosen, but a word of caution - I already mentioned this on another thread - you must stipulate the two mid frequencies you want to use with the pull pot, you have a choice between about 200hz and 1k. You do not get a sweepable mid on this...

Just completed my refit on my 24 year old bass :D Married two custom built soapbar humbuckers with different windings for neck and bridge with a Nordy 3 band vol, pan, treb, push pull mid (400hz/1kz) and bass. :smug: I had read about Andy Blake of Wizard Pickups in Wales on another forum site...

...petrol. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Never fails ;). Small drop on a cloth, off in seconds ;). Don't smoke while you're doing it though.:rollno::rollno::D:D:D:D;)

I use self adhesive foam stickers designedfor putting on the feet of furniture to stop them marking the floor - they cost me £1 at my DIY store. They are perfect IMO, and as well as coming in precut shapes they also have a sheet which can be cut to size. Density is perfect too, don't have much...

IEM's have been a revelation for me personally. Our band use them and I now DI my bass straight into our Yamaha O1V desk out to our JBL VRX rig. I use a small Line 6 cube for backline but really it makes no difference to onstage sound, but no more humping a big rig around for me.. I wear one in...

My fretless that I made from a Cimar Gibson Grabber copy neck - defretted and filled it myself 26 years ago - has the body from my original Ibanez Blazer. Megga brass bridge and great pup too :D. Got to be careful how high you set both the pup and the actual pole pieces as you can get a pop if...
