Funny that, I always think of her as playing a Gibson Les Paul Triumph but that's probably because I gigged a pair of '70s Triumphs for years in the late '80s-early '90s. Mind you it was like having a tree-trunk hanging round your neck. Which is why that mere slip of a lass Tina changed to something lighter. The Hofners would certainly fit the bill weight-wise.

Is it worth checking if your phone can connect like that?

Thank you

Ah yes. I had a nightmare gig where I could not connect via my external router nor the internal access point. Not to any of my devices nor those of the band members. So as a fail safe, and hoping to avoid taking my laptop out, I thought of this option.

I did the same on my board! Works a treat and very handy.

The Runaway - Del Shannon

Looks really good. I trust that the dislocated fingers weren't linked to the construction. As for valuing it, I have no idea. One-offs get valued at all sorts of prices, including the totally delusional. I would guess at a bit more than an intact headed T24, it's going to depend on how much someone wants a headless.

I've been buying this guy's records for 15 years. I actually spoke to him for a while at a gig by the Monument in London. Quite a laugh! And since, we are entering the mod zone, I would have to reserve a shoutout to Mick Talbot.

I am in desperate need of an office chair - see other thread... I've re-read the rules several times and don't think it counts as a musical accessory. Its primary purpose will be an office chair... 👀

Standard 80s-style P-bass tone, to my ears. Amp mostly clean, compression, bit of a midrange boost, hint of chorus. The guy is obviously miming in the video (nothing is plugged in!) and I concur with BassAdder60 that the recording sounds like a pick is being used.

😊👍

😲 I personally know this fellow!! Nice guy, very into authentic organ playing and does "spirited" live shows.

Finally put all the bits together (minus the top coat) and plugged it all in. By some miracle, the dammed thing works, not only does it work, but it sounds really good and it's really loud, at least in my dining room The corners are held on with double sided tape as they are supposed to come off later The rest of it is screwed together properly. The Warwick is held on by my "patent pending" mounting system. As can be seen, my "roadie", the CFO, has demonstrated that the Warwick is indeed securely held. I actually tried it in all orientations and it's rock solid. It can also be mounted on the back, but those rails aren't on the cabinet yet. No fears whatsoever it's going to fall off at all. I plugged a Strat in first and it sounds fine, I'm sure a purist might argue it's not a full range speaker (and it's not), but it sounded fine to me. Next up was my headless bass and that sounded fine as well. I did wind the volume up a little bit then and it's bloody loud. No way could I play this at any volume in a small room. I'd certainly gig with both bass and guitar with this. At small volumes it's also fine. The Warwick needs to be setup for guitar or bass with the tone controls. but I have to say the speaker sounds really good. Far better than the Ampeg Rocket 108 to be honest, though it's got significantly more invested into it than the practise amp has. The little rack to the side is a home made one with a Behringher Centaur overdrive, a Mooer compressor and a EHX tuner. The overdrive is not for the bass though. Now to build the second one for a little more volume. Rob

Ooh, thanks for the heads up @paul_5! I can't believe this already has a veroboard layout. Good to hear it turned out well, and it's now on my build list for the new year!

Thanks fella, nice to nerd out and talk bass!
