    Panda Eyes Gigs

    neepheid replied to neepheid's topic in Gigs

    It's been a long time, but we've secured a gig for next week at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen on Friday 7th August. It's part of the Youth Festival so it should be a good night. Also on the menu are: Ded Rabbit - [url="http://www.myspace.com/iamdedrabbit"]http://www.myspace.com/iamdedrabbit[/url] Kristoffer Morgan - [url="http://www.myspace.com/kristoffermorganmusic"]http://www.myspace.com/kristoffermorganmusic[/url] Amber Wilson - [url="http://www.myspace.com/amberacoustic"]http://www.myspace.com/amberacoustic[/url]

    [quote name='tom1946' post='553516' date='Jul 28 2009, 08:04 AM']Morning folks, I'm having some issues with a jazz pickup and need a definitive way to test it electrically. I have a digital ohm meter and not much ability, so can anyone say what reading I should get across the pickup wires that would tell me whether there is continuity or not? Also I've searched about earthing the bridge. I see that mine just has the wire stripped back and laid under the bridge where it meets the body and relies on the bridge being screwed down? At the moment I don't know whether I have an earth issue or a fu.. broken pickup. Any help would be very much appreciated as it's driving me potty! Thanks, Tom.[/quote] What are the issues? Ohm-meter will read infinity if you have a broken wire or something. Wire stripped back and sandwiched underneath the bridge is a standard practice, nothing to worry about.

    [quote name='chris_b' post='552102' date='Jul 26 2009, 09:40 PM']They sounded terrible and Fenders sounded good. They broke while Fenders bounced. Real men used Fenders, pop groups used Gibsons.[/quote] You are wrong. Also, I hate generalisations.

    Traben Chaos 4 (preferably the Attack model - nice wood and fretboard markers - don't like the Limited (chrome hardware looks yuck) or the Core (no front fret markers except 12) or the Obsession (don't want soapbars, want Stingray style large pole pieces)). Trouble is there's absolutely none available in the UK at present, and I'm skint (unless someone buys my Takamine acoustic ).

    Hi!

    Hi folks I'm pondering selling my Takamine G series (model EG512CGAMQ) acoustic bass. It's a lovely all quilted maple model, quite rare, I suspect it was not available (directly) in the UK. Here's a pic of it: It's a lovely sounding instrument acoustically with a large jumbo body so it's about as loud as an acoustic bass is going to get unplugged. Plugged in, the piezo goes through the TK-40B preamp - 3 band EQ with adjustable mid shift, bass boost and a nifty built in tuner. It is in cosmetically excellent condition with only a slight lacquer crack at the headstock (which I've tried to show in the last photo) and is strung with some barely used (but stretched in) Thomastik nylon cored phosphor bronze strings. It also has a TKL hard case. There is a down side - some idiot before me has damaged the truss rod nut. I have managed to get round this by using a T27 Torx driver - the points of the star seem to fit in what's left of the hex. I will include a suitable tool. It is set up nicely for the Thomastiks. Because of this damage, I'm obviously going to knock some money off. The plainer models (natural spruce top or black) are around £379 new. If it was mint I'd be asking for £300 with case + postage. In light of the damage to the truss rod nut I'd be looking for offers around the £250 + postage mark. Anyone up for it?
