I'm happy with the main stuff - instruments, amps, cabs etc - that I've had for probably 10 years, and I've enough plectrums, strings etc to see me out I reckon.

So unless a new battery for a clip-on tuner counts...I'm still in.

I don't remember the names but several RH players have had the strap on their right shoulder. Try it! 

Likewise I can't recall any bass players off the top of my head, but Tony McPhee played guitar like that.

This Barefaced page is still referenced on their Info pages, but the actual page is no longer there. Are we to read into that? 

The page is still there - just the link's broken.

Been trying to return a shirt, using Evri’s return service.

Printed the label Evri emailed me, attached it and took it to two of Evri’s recommended return shops.

Both times the very patient staff scanned the bar code over and over again but with no luck.

I've had that too. I get the email/barcode up on my phone, and get them to scan that. It's always worked for me.

The hunt for my ideal bass ended when I got my Yam BB1024. 

I've also a Westone Thunder 1 that I'll never sell, but for different reasons

In. As per last year, I've not bought anything since 2014 IIRC, and I'm OK for strings so don't see that changing any time soon. 

A quick search on e.g. Amazon for "slider knobs" gives loads, such as...

... but you'll need to check the size of the shaft. 

1x12 Super Compact, I reckon.

The original Compact (1x15) had the port along the bottom rather than up the side.

Dennis Taylor from Duran Duran

Him that wore the funny glasses? 

Were that mine and having opened it up, I'd have to replace those nasty, sharp plastic cable ties with some nice waxed twine

P.S - A bit weird that these don't come with rubber feet...or any feet for that matter

 

Hmm... mine has feet on 2 sides. 

eta. I meant the bottom & 1 side. 

Is this the Genzler 210 cover? 

If it is, it's visible in the normal topic listing for me.

No, it's one or the other.

...which I thought was obvious from your OP. But hey... 

I used to have a front ported Ashdown 210.

Personally I wouldn't bother. Old school 15's (Ashdown/Trace/Peavey etc) can be had cheap, and would be more sellable than something that's been hacked about. 

Just my opinion...

Good call, although the OP is situated in Georgia USA so I thought Peavey heads may be more easily

available there. 

👍

I'm not in the market for an amp head, but if I were, I'd be all over the Ashdown Mag400 in the for sale section.

The Yamaha EMX512SC is 500 watts x2 into 4 ohms according to Yamaha. 

Whether that is RMS is anybody’s guess, but great bit of kit whatever. 

Agreed. I've used one for... a long time. 

FOH on one channel, monitors on the other - done the job for the last 15 years at least.

Good point, I know a good few guitarists who bought Tokai Love Rocks as backup to their Gibson Les Pauls only to decide the Tokai was better.

No first hand experience of their basses, but I've owned a Tokai Love Rock (Les Paul) and one of their Strat copies from the 80's (I think it had something cheesey like "oldies but goldies" on the headstock) and both were fabulous guitars. 

I do have a Vintage (brand) P bass - possibly a VB4, not sure - and it's... OK. Decent Wilkinson hardware - nothing to get excited about, but I'd happily gig with it.

Yamaha is always the answer, whatever the question 😏

A lifetime ago, it seems... 

I have, on occasion and depending on the design of the jack, been able to pull a tiny contact file, from my Strowger days, between the contacts. 

For a clean barrel & t/r contacts, a squirt of Servisol on a cotton bud is my preference.

It's a bit difficult to explain. It's not the tip or ring where a jack would touch. It's a set of contacts that break when the jack is inserted. I'll try a get a pic of the type of socket used.

No need, I know. Maybe read my post again?
