charlieg Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi guys, i was thinking about getting myself a pair of Steve Neville standard alarms soon, but i decided that i would see how many people have them and what they are like ?thanks in advance They are tasty little alarms, I have just got the remote ones. I have only used them a couple of times so far. With the remote ones you can either use them with volume out the head, volume out of head and receiver or silent head and volume out of receiver only like the atts system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfrancis Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 thanks lads, i think they will be going on the birthday list then no one has had any problems then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 The only real problem is that the bolt can snap the casing. I've had it happen and so have a fair few others over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodarrichy Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have a set of 3 remote ones with receiver but if I'm honest I like my Fox Ntxr's better,I think the build quality of the nevilles could be better,the battery in the Neville receiver rattles about,I had put something in to stop it,I think for something that costs you £400 you shouldn't have to do that,then there's the problem with the bolt that screws into the banksticks breaking the alarm housing,They are goods alarms but I like there is quality issues that need sorting,I only paid £100 more for my Foxes but they feel like they will last forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosstheangler Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I honestly believe the nevs are the best alarms I have ever used. I've tried delks, fox, sunridge, pro logic, just about all of them. Nevs are simple and idiot proof so, suit me perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonezy Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Had mine a few years, will just check to see if they still work for you... yep, still working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muscle20 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 hi guys, the neville case tooling was remade about early 2007 by me and we tried to improve on as many aspects of the original that we could but retain all steves features. there are very small differences and i can tell which ones are which. im interested to know if later mouldings are still breaking there or the older ones. the later ones have a small sink mark just below the speaker boss. also all the remote ones will be mk2. keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Keith, mine were much earlier than 2007 mate. Out of interest are you still in touch with Steve, if so, how's his Mrs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muscle20 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 hi happyhammer, perhaps we improved that area. pm sent on steve to you. keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawolf Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Just wondering lads how you get on with false beeps with the nevs for example if you can't sink your rod tips? I stopped using mine because any sort of cross wind was driving me insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveytom Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Just wondering lads how you get on with false beeps with the nevs for example if you can't sink your rod tips? I stopped using mine because any sort of cross wind was driving me insane! How many mags in the rollers? I had the same issue until i changed to 2 mag.

It was the 4 mag ones, i have seen plenty of people with their tips on pits without a single false beep yet mine go mental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodarrichy Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have the same problem with mine,they beeb all the time,i just thought they were to sensitive?I bought the a set of 3 remote ones with receiver cause everyone swears by them,then the beebing drove me mad and now i dont even take them with me anymore,take my NTXrs instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashgordon1952 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 i have a pair of them and never used them but keep them on the mantlepiece instead. I tend to use my cheapy ones instead 3 for £15. and do they make a noise ! or use the fox Ms i have three of them . maytbe one day i use the steve nevilles when i use them remotely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawolf Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks for the responses, so the 2 mag wheel? After reading numerous books what mention nevilles not once does it mention false beeps and they are fishing in terrible conditions. I must be a noddy or i have overly sensitive alarms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfrancis Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 btw, i eventually got a pair of the standard version for my birthday, so ive had them about 2 months and cant fault them at all, they look pukka with the lil white roller wheels and white bobbins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
