    Unfortunately not, as I do not understand what you are reffering to, or what process you are having issues with. Where are you writing this text, how would you be expecting to save it, and where would you expect it to be available for acceptance or deletion after relogging in?

    We recently took our old powered Peavey floor wedges to the guy one of a Guitarists uses for setups in Surbiton ... turns out he has a little sideline in amp repair mainly older stuff , as sadly no-one wants to be told you need to replace the whole Integrated PCB... for much the same price as a new one . The thing was making farting noises at volume , i'd guessed the whole speaker was delaminating .. turns out the tweeter was blown , He replaced it with a similarish size one .... but also remarked it used to be easy to get peavy spares to order/ find like for like but instead had to scrounge one from his " bits"

    So it turned up today, my £63 (inc shipping) bass. Took it out of the box, and out of its gig bag (not great, but.. £63 and it has one, which is more than many do) and marvelled at how really green it was, seriously more green than the pictures. Really nice dark neck, a bit thicker than I would like ideally but ok. Good frets Tuned it up (tuners are ok), and played. It plays well, very impressed. I haven't plugged it in yet, that is tonights thing (comes with a lead too). Knobs feel solid (more solid than the ibanez EHBs). All in all its pretty amazing what you get. I will give it a try at a gig at some point, although they are a bit thin at the moment

    Interestingly I've seen that as a major issue with Pirate we rehears at earlsfield ... its a great space until ..... anything breaks , or something is forgotten or you need a spare . They dont have anyone to ask or to loan out at all I understand staffing costs and the 24 hour nature of the place but a vending machine that sold Jack cables, XLR / power cables and picks would go such a long way. We have these at the office for self serve so they definatly exist .. Instead you sit on hold on the phone and they cant help you ... The suggestion to knock on some doors and ask if anyone wasn't using all of theirs didn't amount to much ... who answers the door mid Solo. 🙂

    Sadly selling this ridiculously beautiful precision bass solely because of my tiny hands. Can't get on with the neck at all, I'm more of a jazz/jag neck guy so it's time for this to go. It's in absolutely great condition for its age, with only the one wee ding in image number 9. Recently had a setup with my main man Alec, and it's strung with flats. Obv. 🤣 Comes in a Fender gig bag as pictured. Not really looking for a trade as I'm intending to finally get an ACG, or a short scale Rickenbacker. Welcome to try it out, and PM me about meeting halfway somewhere. Based in the South of Scotland in Dumfries.

    Fun time at the Surrey Country Roots Jam last night. Bass players were thin on the ground with a couple of last minute drop outs, so I ended up playing a few tomes. I was down to play four tunes - one of which I’d suggested and three more I was asked to play or had previously volunteered for. Then I got roped in to play with a guy I kinda know from another jam - he’s “a character”and so I played an impromptu, in the wrong key version of Springsteen’s The River and then Country Roads (both hanging on by the seat of my pants). Best thing was, when I first sat down I saw another bass player off to my left who seemed vaguely familiar. However, with that whole “seeing someone you know but in the wrong context” thing, I just couldn’t place him… a which point, he waved and said “Hi”. Of course, it was @Happy Jack who had come along to check the jam out and see what the standard was and the split between proper old school country, country-pop and the seriously betasseled brigade. So good to see him and sit and chat. He ended getting up for one Hank Williams number playing his lovely old Ovation bass.

    Not if you ask questions. Perfect fit is rare when buying a replacement neck, £700 Fender necks come with a warning their official necks may not fit their bodies. Asking questions can save you a lot of work. Get a digi or Verner calliper and measure the pocket or the heel of the existing neck. Take photos with calliper in position and showing the sizes. If you want do the same for the nut width and neck thickness at a few points. Give the radius of any rounded corners if the pocket has them. Forward the photos to potential sellers and ask them to provide confirmation with photos. Legit sellers will reply, middle men with just a stock photo won't 🙂

    I found the size I need ! Should be easy enough to track down ..

    The Hellraiser with the ENG pick ups and ore amp us £1399 at Andertons. Knock a least couple hundred if that u’d snap it up. I can get the New Ibanez ice bass for £980 (which tempted by)

    What’s the verdict?
  16. Russ
    The RBM has the octaver, the overdrive, the switchable EQ and the built-in IR system for the DI out. If you're happy with the 500W output and don't need those features, then go for the OBM.

    OK, well for my own curiosity if nothing else, I'll still see if I've got a suitable replaceable screw anyway and if I find one, I'm happy to send you it.

    I did receive an email from Neil Co owner of the company I mentioned . He noticed I didn’t checkout , so I am now in conversation with him via email to see if I can get the replacement needed!

    I have these tuners on one of my basses also: They're good tuners, well worth replacing that screw if you ask me. Let me have a rummage in my spares boxes and see what I can find.

    Looking forward to the review as well.

    I'm going to get one of those UK-OBM-500 amp heads as it will fit my needs perfectly. If I don't, then its because I've gone for a UK-RBM-500 instead. Does anyone know know what the difference is between these two heads? Is it just a case of the UK-RBM-500 having more features but the amps are basically the same or is there a difference in the amps and the tone? For the record, I'm not a fan of the blue and much prefer the all black look. Saying that, I like that the look is original and not just another black or silver amp. I still miss the Trace Elliot green, nothing has ever beaten that.

    The drummer forgot his cymbals 😖 Including hi-hats. We were in one of Pirates rehearsal studios, and they didn't have anything to lend or rent. So interesting rehearsal. Drummer put a tambourine on the floor tom, and tbf it wasn't too bad.

    I found a website via ai/ Google ( yes I know ) called Glued to music . I registered with them , and assumed I could pay via PayPal , but for some reason PayPal was unavailable at this time . Apple Pay was the other option but I decided not to proceed ! Site may not be legit as I haven’t received confirmation email . I’d rather not get soaked in this weather and it’s a bus ride to the nearest hardware shop . There is Amazon but they have too many options ..

    Oh and another thing, you won't find those Gotoh GB7s (if indeed they're even called GB7s) anywhere but the second hand market, especially those ones with the plastic, fluted bit below the button. The modern day GB707 has a different shaped button.

    @BassAdder60 please see SumOne's post above re. your comparison query? Plus my reasons for wanting the additional features on the GX10. Hope that helps!

    There's loads on ebay. Yes, shipped from China. I bought a roasted flamed maple neck there for about a 100 quid. It was stunning. I didn't end up using it though but I know the basschatter who I sold it to liked it a lot. I couldn't say if the fingerboard was real rosewood but it looked good. Nice and dark.
