ahpook

could you use a dab of glue on the end on an allen key, and then stick that to what's left of the screw and rotate it out ?

can't see no pics

although with the way the guitard in one of the bands is behaving...i might have a little more free time coming up... whereabouts in london are you ?

nice to see trad jazz getting a mention on the forum

i sent off my awful boss cs-3 compressor to the folks at www.pedalmods.com last week for a complete overhaul, including replacing the caps with high quality panasonics, fitting a burr brown op amp and filling my request to make it more bass-friendly. the result ? they've turned possibly one of the worst pedal compressors going into a quality piece of kit. loads less noise and a lot more usable sweep of sounds. quick turnaround and excellent updates as the work was taking place. if you're thinking of having some pedal mods done, then i recommend you have a word with them.

if i wasn't in two bands already, i'd be knocking at your door, bass in hand !

black. is there any other choice ?

i'm quite tempted by one of these...anything that improves strength in that area must be good.

what a beautiful bass

she's lost control - joy division

our gig went amazingly well. our first gig...and we lost count of the number of people who came up to us after and told us how much they enjoyed it. got paid, got another gig off the back of it and someone told me i was an amazing bass player

is the compression driver adjustable ? i'm very keen on 'lightning my load' so to speak, but i just don't get on with HF drivers. shame if they're not - girlfren is keen to buy me a cab for my birthday !!

i guess i've got a boss tuner in my effects chain already, so maybe a true bypass one is a bit pointless now. the boss might be an option. if only mxr stuff wasn't so expensive !
