As I provide a decent PA I now say we all arrive at an agreed time to set up and no one goes home till everyone is packed……unless they’d like to provide the PA of course.

Hi Guys, This was our second outside gig and the weather was great. Bad news, before we played I tripped walking down two flights of stairs and I fell. All I remember after that was people trying to help me up. I twisted my ankle really bad. I played the gig sitting down. I'm hoping it's not serious. My goal is to be able to leave the house by this Wednesday. I don't want to have to go to the clinic. We played well but I was disappointed in the turn out. For all you seniors and pensioners, don't fall. Daryl

I'd wondered about re-finishing the cab also. It is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or ABS. This is a really tough plastic which can be made with various formulations but all designed to be hard wearing. Lego bricks are made of ABS Anyway it can be sprayed with enamel paint or acrylic paints. Tough Cab is the brand most commonly used for painting cabs in this country and is an acrylic paint. You can also get acrylic paints in rattle cans from artists supplies and most of the 'kitchen' and 'bathroom' paints and low VOC gloss paints are acrylic. My Cabs are also ABS and I've been looking at them gradually accumulating little bumps and scrapes and wondering if I could touch them up. At the moment under stage lighting they look fine so I've left well enough alone and bought some covers to stop them getting worse. Anyway here's probably more than anyone needs to know about spraying ABS paintexplained.com/how-to-spray-paint-abs-plastic/

Of course it failed, babies don't have the strength to cope with Thunderbird neck dive. If you'd used a Jazz bass back then, at the end of this month you'd be stood at the side of the stage watching them headline Glastonbury.

I have a rehearsal in a couple of days and a gig next weekend. Needed to move quickly. I did see a few bits of Trace gear nearby (the one you linked is about 3.5hrs away so could be in China for all it's worth), but a lot of it I think wouldn't meet the "can be shifted by me alone" criteria. That said, I'll keep an eye out in the future.

This operaation is very doable with a pillar drill, yes. You need to attach the neck solidly, and then it is a straightforward action. To attach the inserts, it is also easy with that pillar drill, because you can keep the inserts straight. Here it is done by hand, but you get the idea.

Really great clinic IMO, they’re kinda the bass duo that I didn’t know I needed, polar opposites in some respects and that plays off against one another very well. They’re also very similar in many respects, so it was interesting to see that come out. I’m glad that in didn’t just turn into a HX Stomp ‘how to’, it was essentially one big Q&A from the start, and there were some great conversation and playing as a result. It was a little over 2 hours, but could quite easily have been longer….but a big band needed the room to sound check haha. 10/10 would watch again! Si

@Geek99 I don't have any hardwood rod (or softwood rod) or dowels of any description. I also don't feel confident about drilling into a real (and nice) Fender neck to make the right sized holes even with a pillar drill. I've never done that sort of thing before. I'd need to support the neck properly to ensure an accurate vertical drill and if I cocked it up, I'd be gutted. Somethings worry me and this is one of them Rob

Looks like that's been fitted by a previous owner, using a Pickguardian surround. Neck unit's absolutely not an SD. And read this - from 2009 so unfortunately pics are gone - a post from a member called Darkstrike actually points out that the Anniversary doesn't have SDs. Had a quick dig & found a pic of a stock Anniversary.

8 years later.............do you by any chance still own & use this amp? If so, how does it compare with more modern amps? If not, what did you purchase to replace it with? Thanks.
