@JapanAxe Hughes & Kettner QT600
@andybassdoyle who knows, caps needing replaced maybe?
it’s well built and designed so will be fixable unlike some modern stuff.

I don't but there's an artist in my wife's building who does all of that tin type stuff, photography mainly. I could ask him if you have a specific question or if you want to just go straight in he's [email protected].

@Happy Jack yeah that’s my poor spelling - my searching has been ok. I found people who could do it but found a different method which hopefully will work

Driving through SW Scotland tomorrow- my main thought is “Moffat - home of ACG and @skelf”
when you consider how much visit Scotland spend that’s a bit sad the extent of my knowledge is based on bass manufactures!

bought a pedal before breakfast - this pedal board build thing is getting expensive! "replace my HX stomp with a few pedals" didn't stay that simple....

After 15 years of buying and selling stuff online I’ve finally had one go a bit wrong on me. My learning- the ethos of how you act on basschat as a good seller isn’t the same on other music forums

Given that the tracking doesn't seem to work... how long should a Thomann order take?

I hope they eventually delivered your Thomann order. Mine arrived today undamaged, which is not bad at exactly 5 working days since I ordered it. Unfortunately, the main part of the order, which was a Guild B-240EF fretless acoustic bass had clearly not been through proper quality control. The nut and bridge were cut much too low. The first string was practically touching the fretboard immediately after the nut and it rattled horribly. The fourth string wasn't much better. It had quite a noticeable bow in the neck. I think that, rather than send it back for a new nut, the factory QC just slackened the truss rod a bit to make it almost playable. If I had tightened the rod to get less of a bow, the top string would have been touching all the way up. I am not sure if it is because of this but plugged in the middle two strings were much louder than the 1st and 4th.
I have started a return/replacement request but assuming it is collected on Friday, I am probably not going to see the replacement for another two weeks. This is the second time I have had to return a faulty guitar to Thomann. I suspect they just take the boxes out of the warehouse and post them without more than a perfunctory check. The battery was still in its plastic wrapper, so clearly it had not been plugged in before being posted and how anybody could think the setup was acceptable, I don't know. It is irritating but then I have had similar experiences with Andertons. It seems quality control is not a priority for the volume box shifters.

Bought a Hellborg amp off one of you in a dream last night... who was it? can we talk in real life?

made the mistake of venturing into off topic.

If I was after a 5 string and lived in London pretty much everything you could ever want is currently for sale in the "for sale" forum!

Spending my entire bass fund, plus a load extra on a bass will make me feel better about 2020 won't it?
This is a shite year -

Has been listening to Taylor Swift's "Folklore" quite a lot more than I intended to. It's good.

Had a Bobby Vega youtube video on in the background as I worked... my wife just told me to stop playing bass!!!! Quite why she didn't realise that my playing had improved massively I don't know!

Just randomly listened to my old bands recordings for the first time in year. I really want a '57ri precision again.
