[quote name='Merton' post='130139' date='Jan 29 2008, 04:50 PM']That HAS to come. It may make my V-Type combos a little surplus to requirements, esp if Ped brings his too. There we go, bring the REAL Trace valve amps and make me feel inadequate!! [/quote] Are you going to bring your Retroactive ?

Very interesting Steve. Have a browse [url="http://www.watkinsguitars.co.uk/index.htm"]here[/url] and [url="http://www.wemwatkins.co.uk/"]here[/url] Also have a browse though [url="http://forums.vintageamps.com/viewforum.php?f=10"]here[/url] I have a WEM Starfinder 100 2x15-inch cabinet. I'm looking for for an ER100 or a PA100 for it.

If it is a Framus Star Bass then it's the small body short scale version, not what Bill Wyman played. This was my 1963 Framus Star Bass extracted from the 1964 band picture

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='129094' date='Jan 28 2008, 09:15 AM']I played your Stealth 5 on Saturday Dave - never thought I'd get Status GAS but that was a lovely bass.[/quote] Indeed it was/is. A superb piece of engineering and a pleasure to play but I didn't get on with the tone, however I love the sound and feel of the Status necked Stingray 5 that's why I'd like to try a Series 2 Classic.

Is anyone bringing, or could they bring, a Status Series 2 Classic headless throughneck 4-string. I'm getting itchy fingers for another Status.

Our drummer departed at beginning of January, which escalated a crisis and as a result we decided to split the band. We had two remaining dates to fill, the second of which was last night in Haslemere. For both of these we used a drummer who plays in another band with the lead guitarist and all credit to him picking up the nuances of the set list very quickly. All the tensions of the last few weeks had gone, we were all very relaxed and had a great night. The place was rocking. Dancing on the tables, etc. After we'd finished friends kept saying you mustn't pack it in so I don't think we will now.

Looks like a Les Paul bass. or a derivative. There are Gibson and Epiphone versions.

[quote name='Subthumper' post='126519' date='Jan 23 2008, 11:01 PM']Hi I've been asked to repair and amp and one of the valves is a 7025. I've told that this is the same as a 12AT7 or a ECC82. Can any of you valve anoracks clarify this or point me in the direction of someone who can? Its actually a guitar amp (Fender Quad reverb..a 4x12 100w combo...bloody hooooge) but does sound rather nice. Cheers Just[/quote] I think you'll find that it's the same as a 12AX7/ECC83. have a look at [url="http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html"]this[/url]or Google 7025.

Fantastic. If you can wait until the Bash I will be bringing my Lakland Duck Dunn which has a DS and no I won't swap it or sell it.

So here we are. They’ve given me my own bit of Basschat. Over the next couple of days I’ll sort out a price list for my regular cables and some details of the one-offs that I’ve made for people.

As we all know this site requires an injection of cash from time to time and I thought that one good way to raise some money would be to have a raffle at the Bash in March. I am opening the prize fund with two of my 1-metre Klotz 4sq.mm. speaker cables. These will be two separate prizes and the winner can choose between Jack-Jack, Speakon-Speakon or Jack-Speakon. Ped has already agreed to get some tickets and to put up a prize. Anyone else care to donate a prize?

As far as I know the dbx160 series do not have any remote control functions. I just had alook at the manual of the 160A and it definitely doesn't however an imaginative tech might be able to remote the in/out front panel switch using one of the rear panel jack sockets.

It certainly looks like a genuine SR5 body. The routing is correct, especially for the phantom coil. It has the treaded pickup screw inserts. Has anyone posted this on the EBMM Forum for comment? But then again it's Malaysia......

I should be able to come. I'll bring the DJ4 with Fralins to compare with your DJ4 Al. I will also bring the Duck Dunn Dark Star. Stingray Status 5 with Nordstrand anyone? Any requests? The question is what amp. Should I bring the BFC?

It's not about paying over the odds, it's all about how far out of adjustment it is and whether you want a very personal service. If it's a simple set-up then why not learn to do it yourself and save your money. It's not difficult. I now set all of mine up now however if there is a difficult problem then I take it to Joe. For example when I bought a brand new Bongo 5 from the USA it arrived with a banana shaped neck and uneven frets. There was no way I could do anything with it so I took it to Joe. He put it in his jig and started completely from scratch and did a total set-up which included leveling the frets, truss-rod, neck, string height and finally a personal adjustment having analysed my playing style, all included in the standard set-up price. It was magic to play and still was when I sold it on to another Forum member.

Joe is excellent. He's well respected and trusted by a large number of my fellow musicians in the area, both semi-pro and professional. As far as cost goes, you get what you pay for. I won't let anyone else touch my instruments.
