If I had the money and an option to put a slightly more sensible headstock on it, I'd love one, the body shape appeals to me greatly, as well as being a Status, which are just pure sex in graphite form.

I have just snapped one of those bloody string retainer claws on my XM2 bridge. I know there were steel repros being made recently, but they seem to have dropped off the map, maybe Gibson being a*seholes about their copyright? Does anyone have a claw they could let me have, or a trashed 80's Steinberger bridge to cannibalise?

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1305673' date='Jul 16 2011, 12:33 PM']Hello, Whereabouts in Central/South London exactly? I'm not a pick player, but I really can play extremely precisely and powerfully with my fingers. Having said that though, I [b]can[/b] play with a pick, I just prefer not to. My gear's in my signature. If I audition and you decide you might like me to join, I'll look at upgrading so I can keep up with the guitars! At the moment, my rig might be a little quiet! Cheers Alex[/quote] Its all in the hands, no gear snobbery here mate, as long as it sounds the nuts and doesnt look like it came from Argos, or a shiny endorsement deal Pure Neg sound familiar, I'm sure I've seen you at some point maybe in Harrow? I could get away with a finger player, but a lot of the stuff NEEDS pick to work with the song, so if you were happy swapping finger/pick on odd songs then yes, that could work. Rehearsal venue undecided yet, we're scattered all over London at the moment so Central seemed like a good idea, although I do use Panic quite often, nice place!

Still looking... Someone here must have a yearning for underpinning a bit of in-your-face THRASH!

New project with experienced members from other bands require aggressive plectrum-style bassist aged 25-40 ish. Male or Female, no sexism here, I have seen a couple of OUTSTANDING girl bassists recently who knocked me sideways. Influences: Sodom, Kreator, early Metallica, Discharge, Terror, Pantera, Voivod, Celtic Frost, Exodus, Motorhead, Overkill. Rehearse in Central or South London. Looking to get this running mid-August, and be gigging by October. Own gear essential, own transport preferred, but driving licence a must. Please don't apply if you just want to be in a band and can "turn your hand to anything", as that would be a waste of both our time, we require someone with a good solid understanding of the genre and who listens to the bands listed above. Any takers?

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1246786' date='May 27 2011, 10:41 AM']Been racking my brains on this one. Logo rings a bell... but stumped.[/quote] Well, at first I thought it was a Stentor, but the logo is not quite similar enough, despite being a centurions head looking left. Baffled...

Blimey, its almost identical to mine. Gotta be worth more than 85 quid though, valve output stage, point to point wiring!?!? If this had a "name" on it it would be up in the 300-500 pricerange. Anyway, I have one, its up for trades if anyone has anything interesting to throw at me.

[quote name='razze06' post='1243960' date='May 25 2011, 10:04 AM']Anything else on the back, like a plate or anything?[/quote] Nothing at all. The rear panel has no evidence of any previous plate, and the mains and speaker are on flying cables direct to the chassis, this is original. Its all point to point wiring inside, nice amp!

Damned - Love Song (at 0'19, after the slow prelude) Motorhead - Die You Bastard Japan - Sons Of Pioneers Voivod - Overreaction "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" should have been at #1 in OPs list...

50 watt bass head, made 1972 in Italy, running 4x EL84. Typical late 60s/early 70s layout of Vol/Treb/Bass per channel, plus power and standby switches on illuminated rockers on RH side of panel. Logo is a centurions head in a shield. Model is "S.BASS.50" I can't find anything on Google. Anyone know what this is? [attachment=80876:PICTA_8632.jpg] [attachment=80875:PICTA_8631.jpg]

I like it, but it definitely needs slimmer headstock, and 2 matching mudbucker covers (even if the bridge one is just hiding a slimmer pickup bobbin). There is no way on earth I would pay more than 500 quid for it though, given the limitations of 90% of Gibson basses.

If the 10 seconds required to temporarily solder/desolder a pickup is too much hassle compared to the 5 minutes to swap the pickup out, maybe you should rethink your approach.

I have a Sansamp in my pedalboard split between DI to the PA, and signal to my Ampeg. I am covered either way, if the Sansamp fails, I can DI from the Ampeg. If the Ampeg fails, I ask for more foldback.

Sounds like either your tweeter volume pot, or the crossover is knackered then. Get it out and check for burn marks.
