Ampeg PF350. Sounded damned fine, too.

To present another view I have an Ashdown amp I’m trying to sort out for a friend who can’t afford a replacement and they don’t have the wiring diagrams and didn’t offer any help with the issue. I have maybe figured out what’s wrong but I’m not sure without the diagram and if it is what I’m thinking it is I can’t buy the replacement component anyway so the whole thing will go in the bin. Put me off getting one tbh.

sorry to hear that

Some things were just meant to be, and stars do sometimes align. I say this gets a pass, as @Machines didn't go shopping for a bass - in fact, an award might be due because of his going to pick up a g****r in broad daylight.

She did offer indeed, I was considering buying it myself and very well might have without the offer, how about this additional factor ?

That's what I said. I find the political dimension of Eurovision quite hard to follow. They're anti-Israel, right? Okay then, great, so at least we know where light entertainment in Azerbaijan stands on these kind of issues. I'm sure that makes just as big a difference to those fighting on the frontline as it does to me.

That's cool, I have both the original Clone Theory and a Golden Ratio. Both are noisy... but they do sound great 👍

Really cool bass ! 😎

Looks lovely, congrats on the refurb Rich, now get out and get it played! 🤩👍🏼

Can’t remember but @funkle has a great thread Here on building a Wal’ish bass where he tries various pickups and preamps in pursuit of the Wal sound. There are also a couple of other Wal’alike builds in the Build Diaries section with at least one using the Lusithand pre. I have an early Overwater original series 5 string that has a filter based preamp and I think John East built the preamps for Overwater, but I am sure his newer designs will be more advanced.

Journeyed down to London yesterday to catch Tarja Turunen and band at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire. Billed as the 'Living The Dream - The Hits' tour, the set included prime cuts from both her solo and Nightwish careers, and her live band included non other than Doug Wimbish (with 4 and 5 string Spectors). I've been to a few Tarja shows over the last 10-12 years ago and although Doug has toured with her a few times, I think this is the first time I've seen him on stage with her. Anyway it was a great gig, very heavy in places (as one would expect) with several songs featuring extended instrumental outros with guitar and bass soloing in places. Only downer was that the low stage in the Empire and number of people filming meant those of us further back were often left watching proceedings on a screen.
