Cracking piece of work. Somehow "excellent" doesn't go halfway to describing how good it is. Very well done. May the bookings come rolling in.

While on the subject of the For Sale section why can't I edit the sale/trade value when I revise the price?

Well I finally went and bought myself a proper bass. Thanks jack_b. Can't wait to gig it on Thursday. Feels good, even if a tad heavy, and sounds great.

Well worth seeing. As Kiwi says I was in a band that supported Bill a few years back but it wasn't this line-up. (Well remembered Steve - The Bull at Barnes I think). He truly is the Master of the Telecaster and an amazingly nice and talented guy with his own style of Dieselbilly music. In the bus he used to keep us amused with tales of touring with the Grateful Dead. A friend of mine organises his tours and he uses our town as his base and quite often does an extra gig for his local friends as a warm-up. When he was over last time I had a chat with Maurice about 'his 51 Precision and he showed me that it is not a Fender but a custom copy. He is just so layed back in his playing and spent at least half the gig perched on a stool, so you can sit down and play.

Depends if you need balanced or not. Guitar cable is fine for unbalanced. Mic cable is fine for balanced. Neither are good for speakers.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1373796109' post='2141591'] All the keyboard players I've worked with have used PA amps or powered mixers. How many keyboards does he need to amplify? [/quote] He's got two. He's currently using a powered mixer. Perhaps just a change of speakers would do although saying that the the mixer is quite a large heavy beast.

Our new Keyboard man has been using a small PA complete with a pair of 15-inch cabs for the past 10 years and has decided that he needs to downsize to a much smaller and lighter rig. He's not sure where to start looking so I offered to ask here to see what others are using in the way of small but loudish full bandwidth Keyboard amps. Our band's PA is only for vocals so putting him through it for our pub gigs is not an option. I asked him last night if he really needed stereo seeing as stacking his two 15-inch cabs on top of each other hardly creates a stereo image - the jury is out on that one. So in a nutshell what does your Keysman use?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1373460705' post='2137811'] Fair enough that sorts out the problem a slightly asymmetric body like a Jazz, but it doesn't IMO solve the problem with the back support being lower than the centre of gravity on a bass (and it's only just about in the right place on a guitar) which means that the putting a bass on it causes it to tilt back at an alarming angle. I'm quite happy to use something like that at home, but on stage unless the performers are very sedate (i.e. sitting down) I would never risk it. Stands used for instruments on stage need to hold them secure with no danger of being knocked over. IMO that means supports at the base and half-way up the neck and fairly weighty to lower the overall centre of gravity. Ideally one of those multi-instrument racks, or a good quality adjustable stand like [url="http://www.quiklok.it/viewdoc.asp?co_id=80234&pid=83409"]this one from Quiklok[/url]. [/quote] Totally agree.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1373456091' post='2137743'] Good idea Dave, but a simpler solution would be to just buy a Precision in the first place. [/quote] Hmmm. The words tail and dog are coming to mind.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1373452760' post='2137688'] Expecting a nice little product on the market in the next few months that will clean up... IMO. [/quote] Simple mod. All you need is a 60mm long 6mm bolt and some nuts and washers. Unbolt the errant arm, use new bolt and nuts to raise it to desired height. Job done. Could be simplified by just using the longer bolt and a spacer instead of the two sets of locking nuts.

Recently completed a totally flawless transaction with Dave. Deal struck and item sent extremely quickly. Just how it should be on BC. Thanks Dave.
