For me and my band, playing music is a hobby. It costs money, and pays in the rewards of making music together. And if you're playing the local pub of a small town, with, maybe, 20 people showing up, you wouldn't be making much anyway. The venue arranged most of the equipment (we don't even get...

I was using the same flats for two years now (got them second hand with the instrument), but one of the strings has just died.. Now I have to choose again.

You could have stopped there ;). I would say being a musician is about mentality. I would say you're a musician if making music is a driving force in your life. So, you would be one if a significant portion of your life revolves around the creation of music. I wouldn't put it on instrument...

I'm not gonna change it, don't worry, I'm just carefully observing it's parts. I also want to check all the solder joints as well anyway, and give some love where love is due.

I made three new pictures. Number-wise on the transformer: the wires connecting the outlet power connect 120 and 0 on the outsides, and one jumps from 0 to 120. The jumper wire makes me feel like it 'skips' half of the windings, and that removing that jumper would lower the voltage to the power...

I can. All the handwritten things are gone though, besides which fuses should be used. I'll do so in a couple of hours, I'm not home yet. Thanks for all the help; this is starting to feel like proper Sherlock Holmes-like deduction.

Just opened up the unit again. The QC sticker has a build date, built by, inspected by, model number, signature. Model number is AA11:58. On the back PCB is a written text saying SLIM. There's a green sticker on the front PCB that says L.H., as well as a date. The PCB's all show 'issue 3'.

It only says min load 4 Ohms, no power indication given

Unknown flatwounds. Have been on my bass since I bought it second hand (two years or so ago). I have the feeling I should probably replace them in a year or so, it seems they are slowly starting to show signs of wear.

I would say that, if there's disagreement within the band about alcohol use, and when people want to do what, they should have a conversation about it as adults. Just plain, what do we expect from each other. If he wants to practice at 10AM (which is a perfectly normal time to be awake), and you...

Oh, the transformer says AH150, but the output board says AH100/AH200. It seems a bit like Trace was using random parts? ;) Actually, yours seems to have a slightly different board. Fewer audio plugs from what I can see. Edit: Btw, does it help to say it came with a sleeve?

Can someone help with identifying what type this one is? It's got a DI port, and is a GP7 series 6 from 1992 (my birthyear ;)). The front board says it's a 'Series 2' board.

Hi, I'm a computer science student from the Netherlands, playing bass in a young band with some friends (mostly from the same study). My equipment: GR Bass Road Series (4-string variant, flatwounds) Trace Elliot GP7 Series 6(unknown exact model, serial number is washed away and it's second...
