Well done for passing! Maybe it's time to learn something for pleasure? It doesn't need to be difficult, just something you enjoy. You can always learn your grade 3 pieces at the same time. It's important to keep it fun.

I tried to play my old and very, very "roadworn" cello a few years ago... Had to tune it in fourths; I've been ruined by bass guitars, ruined I tell you...

I don't know how convenient, but Surrey Amps has done excellent work for us for many years. Well qualified IMO. https://surreyamps.co.uk/

Thanks Phil, very impressed to see what you've been up to on the DIY side and Stevie on the commercial side - and gratifying to read so many positive user reports, suggesting your ideas about what made good-sounding cabinets are shared by many others. I must admit since I built my 2 little 1x10" cabinets with Celestion's (sadly-discontinued) neo drivers in, my desire to fiddle around with more speakers gets countered by the knowledge I have no space for more and have yet to find a scenario where these aren't enough. But I still have some ideas! Anyway back on-topic I'll look out for the RCF but ideally would like a few more XLR channels for the now very occasional times I get asked to do sound for others. Ease of use aside, I'd just like to know if I'll hear any real difference going for A&H over the Behringer.

Dann is still going strong although he has had a few health issues which he is battling through. I keep in touch with him via FB, he’s a top guy and always willing to share. I’m not sure he plays much fretless any more. He’ endorses Dingwall basses and plays mainly 6 string these days.

Just had an eerie “Deja vu” feeling - like I’ve been there before

I was thinking a post strapped to the building end of the top staircase railing. Braced arm swings over to pick up the monster at top of stairs. Swing out to space and lower to bottom of stairs.

after Kramker closed and Staurt started up SSD making a Spector bass again, he wasn't yet allowed to call it the NS2 name because Kramer still owned the names and logos for several more years. So Stuart called the traditional PJ bass the NS4. Around very late 98 or early 99, he got all of his name rights and trademarks back.

I took the vintera II to rehearsal last night and played it on a couple of songs and it was a lot of fun and contrasted well with the JMJ mustang I'd been playing earlier. I took it as it came out of the box so will I need to make some adjustments. There's way too much relief in the neck, but as the adjuster is buried at the body end It's too much of a faff for now and I'll take care of that after changing the strings for LaBella flats when I'll do a full setup. I like how the wiggle stick stays in the position you leave it at rather than letting gravity flop it down when you let go (like it does on my Squier CV VI) however the plastic trem tip doesn't seem to want to stay on the wiggle stick. The tip end of the stick is threaded, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding thread inside the tip for it to bite into, so I haven't been able to get it to stay attached. Any ideas?

Surely @neepheid would approve ?

So Fresh, So Clean - OutKast

I am awaiting a full report!

I'm not convinced it's wise for people to try to sell their own second hand gear on this thread - I'm really trying to be nice and not comment directly on their prices as given the topic of this thread it should be relatively clear that dirt cheap is what we are talking about (i.e. no more than £50 to £100 for cabs and probably £150 max for almost all the heads with the exception of the twin and quatro valves)!

Nice to hear, I’ll get up there soon 👍
