[quote name='stingrayfan' post='196397' date='May 11 2008, 10:46 AM']Buy a £40 four channel mixer like [url="http://www.studiospares.com/Product.aspx?code=370630"]this one[/url] and plug your bass and cans (headphones) into that. You can also plug your PC/iPod in at the same time and jam along.[/quote] this is exactly what i'm thinking of at the moment - i'm tired of having to fire up my music pc if i just want to jam along to some recordings or just noodle on the bass. i was considering something like this but for a tenner extra you can get a cheap mxer...which has got to be more useful

[quote name='lwtait' post='196156' date='May 10 2008, 06:31 PM']i hope they bring a four string version of this out as a stock standard.[/quote] plus the very large one !!

it's here /silly grin/ and it sounds fabby...more details when i've restrung and given it a proper try-out.

well, it's at home now - girlfren went and picked it (and 3 sets of new strings) up from the post office this morning... roll on 5.30 !!!!

i might give the 18v trick a go, although i can see it ending up using thr 9v supply for my pedalboard if it's a keeper. delivery was attempted today - hopefully it'll be available for collection tomoz morning.

lovely bass...

we just hope we get the amp fixed for the end of the month for the time in the recording studio

just musing on my guitarist friend's problem... he bought a laney valve amp from GAK a couple on months ago and now it's packed up. he's going to talk to GAK tomoz and try and get it repaired. the amp's had only very light use, so chances are it's a problem with the amp rather than way it's been treated. now, this leaves him ampless... has anyone ever manged to get a replacement amp out of a company in this kind of situation ? i'm sure there's no legal requirement for the company to help in this way, but if it were a car in for repair, you might get a courtesy car. any thoughts ?

thought it was about time i bit the bullet and splashed the cash to see if all the fuss is justified. can't wait to be honest

RCD plus the two

MY. GOD. and my girlfren said she wanted to buy me something musical for my birthday

[quote name='Final Loan' post='185148' date='Apr 25 2008, 10:34 AM']Yeah, I've seen. But he originally put a buy it now of £400 and this time he said he wanted £500 to end the auction early. You can buy 'em brand new for £400![/quote] can you ??? where ??? i've got a starfire, but i'd be interested in a cassidy for that price...spesh if it were in black !!! who knows...i might even sell my starfire then...

i met up with BBN to try and then buy his 50W laney linebacker. lovely guy, amp was just what i needed. if you ever fancy buying something from him, have no hesistation - he's a gent.

just bought Doc's kent armstrong pickup. super-fast delivery, and a proper gent to deal with. he even tossed in a switch for the coil-switching !! many thanks

i miss my westone... but i'll be able to play it next week, cos i sold it to my buddy in preston !
