There are some intros and endings we simplify or remove entirely because they might rely on a piano riff or something studio trickery but none of the shenanigans you mention in the op. That does seem quite odd and energy that could be spent on learning whole new songs.

could anyone share the stock capacitor and potentiometer values on the bbp35 please?

I dig it - it looks like it's dancing!! I can also appreciate the mad skill that went into building it - I mean look at the way the neck starts to deviate around the 15th fret, then the pocket joins the body at an angle.. nuts I'm trying to imagine the genre of music most appropriate for this bass..

Right. I work with our local Foodbank and Community Grocery (pay a few quid for a week's worth of food and toiletries etc). First of all, if folk are wandering past free fruit, it's about dignity, not a preference for haribo. A lot of people feel ashamed to take free help, especially publicly. This is why the Community Grocery model has worked really well, alongside Foodbanks, as people have the dignity of paying a small amount. Almost all of the food and supplies for the Community Grocery is donated by supermarkets. Supermarkets also sponsor and make regular large donations of food to Foodbanks, which also saves a lot of food going to waste. They leave baskets out at their stores to make it easier for you to donate food too, if you'd like to. I don't understand why anyone would be angry about that. Frankly this is a problem that shouldn't exist. More people need and use these services then you would think, or stereotype. On the wider issue of charity events, it's not a gig for you, it's a fundraiser. That's the whole point. Don't expect to be paid, but donate your time if you support their cause. Or don't. It's pretty simple.

I've known Brian for decades and remember seeing these in his workshop when he used to build them. A lot of thought went into the design and build of these in order from them to play well and actually intonate. He built other wacky designs too, including a Moon guitar/bass. Rob

Thanks for the comments. I'll have a think what to do. I could easily add an external bottom plate onto the speakers for stand mounting purposes. It would be external rather than internal. I've a number of decent stands I could use for testing other than the Quickset to see. I could strap the current one down to test it out with zero changes. Might do that next weekend and see. If I like it I'd put a couple of big t-nuts in the base of the speaker to allow a plate to be bolted in just in case. I wouldn't do an internal adapter as it would change the internal volumetric measurements of the cab. No idea how much would make a difference but not wanting to trash a cab to find out.

Where did you buy yours @DGBass?

Anyone got a copy of this on Blu-ray? Does it still work? Recent thread on a Rush related Facebook page about how this disc has just stopped working for many owners.

Hi Shug, hope you're well. I had the older logo silver cloth cab already and just wanted another to match, which is a service they offer. The cab is back with them now and I'm waiting on the new one with the correct orientation (they will reuse the silver cloth front from the first cab). I know your 6x10 has the old logo. Is your 2x10 cloth grill? They could send you a new grill with an old logo on it I reckon, you just need to ask.

Always a nice early finish! 😂

hope the NW is good mate I feel the 2EQ as boost boost

Thats not just what would happen in relatively poor northern towns. Here in this middle class south West town the same would happen except little Jemima and Sebastian will be expecting Percy Pigs instead of Haribo.

£360 ish for the V1 and £520 for the Jensen DI V2 plus a bit of duty. It’s an epic pedal, I think the circuit comes from C2C Electronics and they build a full pedal too about $450 plus duty if I remember. The Rev adds a little spin to stuff and it’s spectacular. If you’re close to me you’re welcome to come and try.

It was the 90s man. I quite fancied one at the time ☺️

Looks good and nearer to the original I think I paid £40 for the Gotoh

Not sure I'd be that worried about the orientation but what's with the old style badging? Not that it isn't a cool logo, mind... EDIT: I've read the full article now. Didn't know they offered that service. I wonder if 'd be up for sending me a new logo. I've got one of each and wouldn't mind an matching...
