    POLL: Big Iron, Lunchbox ... or both?

    What type of amp do you use (not want or have in a cupboard)? Not interested in cabs, power ratings, valve vs solid state, head or combo. Thanks.

    Decoding Ampeg Cab s/n

    Is anyone able to translate the serial number for my SVT212AV? I've looked around a bit but the numbering scheme seems to bear no relation to previous serials. 2040583DAFU0007

    The inbox and alerts icons are disappearing from the menu bar, then reappearing momentarily and then disappearing with notifications hiding under my account settings. I am using Safari for IOS.

    Remove ship decal from Squier Eva Gardner P?

    I don't actually own one of these at all, however I am curious as to whether anyone has removed the ship logo from a Squier Eva Gardner Precision and how much work was involved.

    Resolved Anyone else having issues?

    For some weird reason, my default text has changed to the background colour of the theme window and I can't see any option to change it! Normally I used the dark theme so text shows as white. Now it's black. When I changed to a light theme, my text went white. Haylp!

    SOLD Italia Maranello Z - Australia

    Imported from the UK (list price £729) and possibly the only one in Australia. Retro-styled chambered semi-hollow body with rosewood piezo bridge and active electronics in cream with black binding. This bass is very comfortable to play the tone ranges from almost acoustic sounding to full-on...

    SVT212AV cone centres

    This may seem a weird question but can anyone tell me the rough coordinates for the centres of the drivers on the SVT212AV? Millimetres, centimetres ... or even your Yankee inches will do at a pinch. My front grille really doesn't want to come off and I don't want to damage plywood/tolex...

    Compact Class D Power Amp?

    Anyone know of a small (and cheap) form factor class D monoblock, 500W @ 4Ω would be plenty. I'm not actually buying atm, merely thinking out loud. Update: to clarify, 'compact' = micro/lunch box, not 1U 19" rackmount.

    PF500 worth repairing?

    My Ampeg PF00 off eBay (unopened in box) cost me $US375 incl P&H landed in Australia. It was only after the eBay return period had run out I discovered the poweramp was dead (had been running it with headphones). I duly had it repaired - a crack in main board had caused a blown component @...

    Noise generator?

    Not really bass related but can anyone provide insight on noise generators? I'm interested in something with filters to do both white and coloured noise ... and the smaller and cheaper the better. A footswitch would be useful in order to turn it on or shut it up. What I'm interested in doing is...

    NAD - Traynor YBA-200

    After a trifling 4000km road trip my new-old YBA-200 arrived today. I'm smitten! It's so deep and warm and punchy. It's the older model with 6550s modded to remove the auto-biasing. Traynor YBA-200 by kat888 posted Aug 12, 2016 at 5:38 PM

    Interface for MacBook Air?

    Apologies if this is the millionth time this question has been asked but TBH I'm not even sure what I should be searching for ... last time I did anything like this we were using 2in tape. I have a MacBook Air and will eventually buy a copy of Logic Pro. I am looking for an interface (lightning...

    Traynor YBA200 with pedals?

    Anyone know/have experience of whether the YBA200 (not the -2 version) gets on with pedals? Specifically a mild OD and an optical compressor, or would that be too much squishy goodness? I'm still turning the idea of an arranged marriage with this amp over in my head...

    PF500 alternatives to get *that sound*

    I won't bore anyone again with my tale of woe, suffice to say my Ampeg PF500 appears to have a dead power amp board and it's not covered by warranty. While I'm waiting to hear for definite, might as well canvas the options for an alternative. NB: Gear in Australia is often double the price of...

    NCD - SVT212AV finally here (now with working amp)

    Options for Epiphone Tbird Pro IV

    I am considering options for my Epi Tbird Pro IV (4 knob active). I think it has a Seymour Duncan 2 band pre and overall the output seems pretty polite to me. There's no trim pot to set the preamp output level either. I've tried raising the pups a little and this doesn't really help much, it...

    Keeley Bassist/GC-2 vs Markbass Compressore

    The effect I am seeking from a compressor is the closest approximation I can reasonably afford of 70s warm fat studio compression - George Murray on the David Bowie album Station to Station is my archetype here. I have been thinking along the lines of studio compressor ... Keeley Bassist/GC-2...

    Keeley Bassist vs GC2

    Calling @bongomania! You say here (Keeley GC-2 Limiting Amplifier) The only difference between the GC-2 and the Bassist is one capacitor that causes the GC-2 to react less to peaks in the lows. This means the Bassist will be a more effective hard limiter, while the GC-2 will be a bit less...

    Epi Tbird Pro IV preamp gain level?

    I believe the onboard pre in the ProIV is a Duncan BEQ-2 aka RBA-04M. There are Vol, Blend, Bass and Treble controls and there does not appear to be a push/pull switch on the Vol. I can't see a gain trimmer on the pre but then my eyesight is not what it used to be. Is there any way of adjusting...

    Info about Piezo preamp

    This is the preamp in my Italia Maranello Z (it's a piezo!) Has anyone seen this pre before and can tell me anything about it? It has insanely high output and I'm guessing the trimpot probably controls that but I don't want to monkey with it until I have a better idea of what's going on. I will...

    Space under Pedaltrain Nano+/Metro

    Anyone have a PT Nano+ and can tell me if there's space to mount an 88mm (3.47") wide PSU underneath between the rails, or would I need to go up a size to the Metro16?

    DIY isolated PSU questions

    I would like to use a Joyo JP-03 9V/2A wallwart to power a small dual voltage isolated psu for the following: 1. TC Polytune 2 (9V 45mA - all those bloody LEDs) 2. DHA VT1 OD (12V 1000mA) 3. Keeley Bassist Comp (9V 15mA) So a box with a total of 4 9V outlets (in case I go pedal mad) plus a...

    Active vs Passive question for PF500 users

    I *know* this is very unscientific, anecdotal and based on hearsay ... BUT as an owner of active basses I have a question for passive bass-slingers re their experience with the PF500 (assume PF350 and PF800 are probably similar). With the instrument set flat/maximum (ie vol on full and tone not...

    PS with 12V/500mA outlets (230V/50Hz compatible)

    I'm looking for a power supply for a small pedal board. It needs either 2 x 12V/500mA (which I can use with a current doubler cable) or 1 x 12V/1000mA *plus* 1 or 2 9V outlets for my tuner and perhaps a GEB7 EQ pedal. Preferably multi voltage, but 230V/50Hz at a minimum, with an IEC connector...

    Ampeg SVT212AV cabs

    I've read a bit on TB about first impressions of the SVT212 cabinet. Now that people have had them for a while, it would be useful to hear more, for example do they go seriously deep or are they a little weedy on the E string? For reference, my stylistic influences are 'ancient' - 60s British...

    Carl Martin Bass Drive with Ampeg PF500?

    So I've decided to pick up an instrument again to stop my brain atrophying (electric bass now ... cello later when my fingers are working again). Back in the day I had a tube preamp my mate built for me fed into a mosfet beast (didn't fancy maintaining all those KT88s even back in the 80s)...
