Just got my refinished Mustang body from TJC Guitars in Stevenage. Superb Job, Great Price and Terry is a good bloke too! Highly recommended - thanks Lozz.

Welcome! Good to hear from people in SC - bought my old Mustang Bass from a guy named Booger in Rock Hill a long time ago. Need to get out there again to get some strings at sensible prices.

[quote name='harleyheath' timestamp='1327485396' post='1511915'] that must of been a nightmare! [/quote] Head down and got on with it having ensured that "Sleepy Time" was dropped from the set - I wasn't 'arf focussed, though.

Jack Bruce at a Sunday evening pub gig out in the Suffolk sticks. Brown trouser time as we were a typical '60s blues band.

Yup - a long, long time ago.

Wonderful - brought back memories of Chemistry lessons when me and my mate used to pore over it on the back bench wondering how we could get the cash to buy a guitar AND an amp!

PM sent - slot saddles were on the original MIJ '51.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1327189213' post='1507735'] Thing is, my HA5000 is two separate power amps. If I only use one cab, one power amp is running with no load on it. This is the case for the majority of its life. [/quote] Perhaps the non running amp is automatically switched out of circuit, but then again, with todays technology anything could be happening. I always err on the side of caution with amps having had one blow mid gig at a major outdoor festival because a silly sound engineer tripped over my speaker lead and disconnected it. Resulted in costly serious damage to the output stage of the amp.

Exactly what you have done. "Basically, the person in charge of the band is a colossal tool" is your description of him and as you feel that way I can't see how you can work positively with him on any level, I couldn't if those were my thoughts. You are supposed to enjoy music, eh?

"NEVER NEVER NEVER switch on an amp without speakers or a dummy load connected." A drummer bloke who built amps in Hanwell told me that.

Great looking bass you lucky boy - what model and age? What is the book in the background? From what little I can read with my eyes, it looks interesting.

Yup - that's the man. Thank you......

[/quote] I think that's the man I was looking for. I'll call him in the morning..................... Thanks Loz

Thanx Mark.

Back before Christmas I found a recommendation on BC for a refinisher/relicer somewhere in the home counties and I've lost all details and e-mails since - can't even remember his name (Andy?) due to me catching a 'flu type bug caught in December. What I can remember is that he came across as quite a character in the e-mail correspondance - bit like me, doesn't like the modern world and the new rules etc........ A few years ago I bought a refinished 60s bass which still looks as if it has a brand new body and as it is fitted with all its original hardware it looks daft and I would like to tone it down a bit - the guy I was in contact with said to call after Christmas. Help - any ideas who or recommendations, please? JOB DONE - SEE BELOW I I V

Not me, but a drummer I played semi-pro with for a few years turned down Marillion "coz I did'nae think they would be famous and I wanted tae be!" He's a blxxdy good drummer and a great bloke, too.

Welcome Emily - Sade came from just up the road to us. edited for grammar!

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1325355790' post='1482521'] My first post propper on here for a while so I thought I'd pop this one up. Sublime. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7czlanjaObs&list=FLHR3_NlpGB24M5ttBOFKArg&index=19&feature=plpp_video[/media] [/quote] THAT'S THE ONE.

I "borrow" my sons Chinese Hofner electro/acoustic bass and run it through a Sansamp BD into the PA for this type of gig. i) not much to carry around ii) looks "right" with the rest of the band iii) I can control the sound/feedback

If it helps ....... I received a bass from the US which was wrapped in a bath towel, inside a gig bag, inside a large flat screen TV box with all spaces filled with styrofoam chips and then the final package fully wrapped in wide clear PVC PS tape - superb job - no damage whatsoever!
