I've recovered many amps, and I re-did my Marshall 4-10 cab.

It was the next hardest recover I ever did compared to my old Ampeg Reverborocket, which was THE hardest.

I would either just strip it and stain it or have a pro recover it for you, it isn't a good cab for someone who has never recovered a cab before, I had already done 6-7 amps before I did the Marshall, and it was still a -very- difficult recover to do, comparatively speaking.

Hey Drak havent spoken to you in a while

I think i might just take it to a pro then, Its not that bad but its bad enough to annoy me, and when im gigging 6 or 7 times a month, i can only see it getting worse as it gets chucked into the van each time

Cheers!

Hey guys!

What would be the best way to re-cover my Marshall 4x12 cab?

Its beginning to rip in places and has lost its colour in places (1992) and i want to refinish it.

Is it possible to just paint it? what paint should i use?

Cheers guys!!

I have just become the proud owner of a Marshall Valvestate 8100 and 4x12 Cab but am wondering does any one know what years these were produced?

I beleive the 8100 to be part of the 1st generation valvestates but have no idea what years these were made but am curious as it looks fairly old

Knowing what years they were in production would be very cool, knowing the specific year would be even cooler if anyone knows how to find out?

Cheers guys!!

Spec:

180w stereo (2 x 90 w) @ 8 ohms

260w stereo (2 x 130w) @ 4 ohms

Two 12" Sheffield speakers

Transtube Midi Pre-amp, stereo power amp

128 user / 128 preset effects + a RAM card slot for removable storage

4 Transtube modes... clean, crunch, Lead, Ultra.

Passive and active EQ's

37 effect types, speaker simulator etc

Transtube and Digital preamps can be combined

Midi Foot controller and original manual included.

Has been gigged quite a bit and it has no issues with reliability.

The floorboard allows you to go between all 128x2 patches and allows you to acsess the onboard tuner!

The floorboard also has an LCD Panel on showing the patch name, the current effects running, and the patch number.

The LCD Screen is also backlit with adjustable viewing angle for onstage work

These things are fairly rare and sound amazing, the only reason im selling is i feel it just has to many features for what i use.

Some helpful features of the amp are the fact it has a preamp out and a poweramp out suitable for recording OR driving extension cabs

Any other questions feel free to ask!

For trade im looking for a Halfstack of sorts, preferbly not digital, So no Line 6 or Behringer

Cheers guys!

After watching David Gilmour live (DVD) ive decided i want a whammy pedal

(or i presume im do as far as im aware, hes using a pedal which is pitch shifting between octaves (sweeping as he uses it like a volume pedal sweeps)

Thats a whammy pedal rite?

Well if it is, thats what i want lol!

Uk only though please guys unless you can think of a viable way to ship it here without killing me on costs

Hey and welcome to the board

~~ TS ~~

Sorry about the wait man. He said he can't afford it cos his team got knocked out of the world cup. I'll keep asking around my work though if you want.

Yea please do bro any help is appreciated!

~~ TS ~~

I didn't see him today cos i had to go sort some stuff out, but i'll give him a test later and if he replies post here for you! =D

Thanks once again thoughtless

~~ TS ~~

I write a lot of the material for our band and writers block can be a right pain in the ass.. but can also be a sign to take a break

When ever i get times where i can think of anything i go out, go for a walk or see some friends, let your brain get filled with lots of different things once again, then eventually you will get an idea again and then you can probs write a lot more

Hope that helps bro!

I know i bloke i work with was looking for a PSP, i'm not there until wednesday now though, but i'll ask him if no one else has bought it.

I sold my Line6 Spider II 212 not so long ago and i would recommend it to those who either like copious amounts of distortion or quite a nice clean

It has a nice range of settings with some good features (noise gate, onboard tuner and 2nd stage of gain (not that you should ever need it))

Theyre reliable (gigged with it many times) and combined with the FBV Express, you can use Wah and volume on the expression pedal.

The only reason i sold it as it wasnt my "style". I dont like all that gain everywhere and i now use a Peavey Transfex Pro 212s

Definitly wasnt a mistake Duff Beer man

One reason for selling is im looking to purchase some new photography equipment for my course next year and as this hasnt had much use... its gotta go

Other reason for it going is i brought it for when i was travelling by train etc to places however as ill be driving soon, it wont get much use.

not to hijack, but how do you get the picture of the guitar out of that program? I could never figure it out.

Take a printscreen of it and then paste & crop it in your favourite editing program... (paint always rocks )

I still think *THIS* one is a good design, perhaps extend the pickguard to go around near the horn?

~~ TS ~~

I Rarely use software now to edit since i have my multi-track but when i do, i would either use Audacity with some decent VST plugins (free) or Sonar 5 Producers edition (license paid by college)

~~ TS ~~

Give me 10 mins bro and ill post them up

Pictures of neck and body , No pictures of the pickup, tuners etc since theyre boxed up currently.
