    I've played with bands whose frontmen have ranged from "Dance, you *****!" to "You're all queer"… Needless to say I don't gig with expensive kit anymore. And I married a dentist.

    after using Rotosounds for many a year (and a few more) I bought a set of D'addario ProSteels last night, as they were the only round wounds they had in my size from my small, local music shop. Wow. What a difference - really balanced, punchy and just the right tension too.

    It's easier to fix mistakes of someone already in the band than it is to bring a new musician up to speed. If he's aware of the mistakes then it's worth trying to iron out the creases with the current johnny than finding a new one. Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you don't get it wrong - there is a BIG difference.

    I'm a sociopath too. I don't care how everyone else is doing. Welcome on board skipper.

    If you scroll down to the bottom of this page there's some diagrams that might be useful: http://www.kitrae.net/music/big_muff_guts.html#Circuit Actually Kitrae's big muff page is worth a read even if you don't find what you're looking for.

    Xotic BB bass pre or DHA VT1? The Ashdown Lomenzo pedal is really good too.

    Sold innit.

    Valve O/D pedal with 3 band EQ, bright switch, colour switch (for double the dirt at the flick of a switch), boost channel and ground lift for the DI. Also it's got an mp3 input (1/8") and a headphone socket (also 1/8") for playing along to Rush albums (or anything else for that matter). Comes with a 12v PSU [attachment=154691:2013-02-04192830_zps6ee062dd.jpg] Some cosmetic damage to the paintwork (a couple of small chips here and there but nothing major) and the headphone socket has been serviced (replacement 2822A chip) so it now functions on both sides as intended.

    I had a Hohner B Bass V many moons ago and that was through neck. Skinny string spacing though, but a brilliant instrument for the money.

    Still trying to get into 'Death Magnetic' by Metallica…

    Boss OC2 (or thereabouts). I'm using a home-made OC2 clone at the moment, but have had great results with the Chord OC-50. I've had the EBS OctaBass, EHX Multiplexer, Aguilar OctaMizer etc… and have come back to the classic OC2 sound; yes it's glitchy and doesn't track nearly as well as some of the newer octaves but it just [i]sounds[/i] great, and that's what it's all about.

    +1. check for loose screws on the tuners - I had one last week. It's a really easy fix too. Hope you get this sorted

    Nice those - the fabled 4558 opamp provides the dirt and a baxandall EQ. What's not to like?

    Inconsistencies when you're peeing might mean a visit to your urologist, or it could be your prostate. Sorry, I'll get me surgical gown.

    Mine took off, but I had to throw quite hard…

    Just ordered myself one of those Big Beefy preamp boards from that internet. Looks pretty good.

    "Prayers and good vibes seem to have worked". Well, that and the surgery… Good news though.

    Grand mate, loving it. [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/600px-Hausziege_04_zps5531b284.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/600px-Hausziege_04_zps5531b284.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Ahhh, get well soon Scott.

    Better off pinning [i]and[/i] glueing... I'll get me coat.

    Cool. Top bloke (and great luthier too)

    That's it; I am NEVER going to Bishop Auckland. Anyone prepared to do that to [i]two[/i] guitars at the same time is capable of anything (shudders).

    Brian Eastwood in Bacup (Rossendale Valley) gets my vote. http://www.brianeastwoodguitars.co.uk Never had a problem with an instrument that Brian couldn't sort out for me.

    For sheer 'RAWK' grunt and thunder I've been impressed with a Hartke LH500 through an Ampeg 8x10, but currently I'm running a 1993 SWR SM400 into a Hartke Hydrive 410 and that does everythingI need it too, in fact often I don't even use the EQ, just a liberal sprinkling of the Aural Enhancer® and I'm off.

    Single core. It comes in a bag of approx 1m. I can't see it on their website, but then their website is a bit sh*t.
