[quote name='ead' timestamp='1370381339' post='2100178'] Andy, you're welcome to borrow my Midget but I appreciate that meeting up may be a bit trickier. [/quote] Thanks bud, wakefield is loads closer for collect/return even if I do love a barefaced cab, thanks for the offer though matey!

[quote name='mikegatward' timestamp='1370338129' post='2099188'] Andy - if you can get up to Wakefield, i have a Markbass NY121 you could have for a few days. I 'll probably need it back for a gig on the 15th though [/quote] Mate that'd be superb, if I can't source one in Sheffield I'll give you a shout, big thanks!

[quote name='catsoupone' timestamp='1370329099' post='2099063'] hey its got 4 strings. same thing right ? just wondering if any of you guys play a Dulcimer and if you could give me some advise about string guages I tune it D A D D and have only changed the strings once , the dude in the guitar shop sort of hazarded a gues , there cool guys but it s a marginally obscure instrument. unless you dig Joni Mitchel correct. mmmmm Joni . anyway , if anyone has any advise on this it would much apriecated : ) [/quote] Give Nicky a buzz at Trad Music in Wakefield (01924 385000), he's a dulcimer player so I'd expect him to know...

I'm currently trying to broker a trade whereby I end up with an Accugroove Tri110 cab which is a superb little full range cab and which would be superb for a coffee shop gig on either electric fretless or electric upright...the rub is that I screwed up my diary and the gig date is actually next Tuesday (11th June) and a 'meet to trade' is looking rather unlikely before then... I also have a practice for this gig on Thursday this week (6th June) and I currently have no small cab, I [i]only[/i] have an EAD foundation 212 which won't fit in the rehearsal space (living room) of my other acoustic compadré so I'm rather hopefully wondering whether anyone in Sheffield might have a little cab (PJB 4b / 6b / Accugroove, summat 1x10 but not too big) that I could borrow for a few days please? I'd be looking to run it with my Acoustic Image Focus II head, I also only currently have speakon-speakon cables. Help please!

Acoustic Image Focus II is the most transparent amp I've tried (and now own)

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1369393047' post='2088645'] I would not condone such a thing... Without adding some decent contours, taking away the parrallel strings, changing the bridge, changing the neck profile and possibly changing the pickups (undecided there) [/quote] change the body and headstock shape too cos they look mingin, body's a bit thin too wouldn't you say?

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1369389410' post='2088592'] See-through perspex, Jaguar shaped, body. Sea foam green Musicman pickguard. Graphite neck. Active 3-band electronics with sweepable mids. Sorted ! [/quote] almost this but make the perspex hollow like a bottle/tank and fill it with glittery liquid or small plastic goldfish!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1369303218' post='2087432'] Speak to the guys at [url="http://www.micsdirect.com/heil_sound.htm"]mics direct[/url] - they are great. Got me everything I needed by courier before 9am the next day. Top Gear. Top service. And the free XLR is actually a decent Proel one (so take that into account when looking at overall mic pricings) [/quote] recommendations always help matey, much appreciated! I was looking at using them but now I will for sure, thanks again!

Well, option 1 is a no goer, neither Sennheiser or their UK spares folks have got capsules to replace mine with so that mic needs junking The upside is I get to do some mic shopping when I scrape some cash together! Heil here I come

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1369165289' post='2085760'] Unfortunately I'm getting married in a couple of months. Truckstop [/quote] Congratulations matey!

Sounds like your current 5 string needs a bit of attention before you junk it matey, a decent set-up will either fix or identify the issues with it and will suggest remedies, if that still doesn't kill the problems then investigate some changes...

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1369048716' post='2084168'] I have a few Heil mics. PR20 and PR22 (both UT cos you don't need all the accessories) are both superb mics and certainly outperform the SM58 and Beta in my opinion. Using the Shures as a bench mark, The Heils have a nice smooth top end and a more focused bottom end than the Shure. The feedback rejection is also spot on - defo a worthwhile purchase. I also have a PR35... they are the dog's danglies on vocals. Sounds lovely. [/quote] Cheers, that's what I thought matey, option 1 is Sennheiser can provide a replacement capsule for a reasonable price and I can then repair the mic option 2 is get misself a PR35 or if funds won't allow that it'll be a PR22ut instead

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1369001079' post='2083917'] It's my old one. The very same one featured in my avatar! I wish I could buy it back Truckstop [/quote] It seems sad that your avatar is no longer with you! Sorry I can't help you get it back matey

I just received Dave's fender gig bag, top chap, very easy deal, yet another in the bc 'recommended to deal with' list! thanks matey!

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151045795955 Looks real nice, anyone live nearby? It's collection only :-(

I really like the look of the heil pr35 but they're a bit more than I wanted to pay...what're the pr20 like anyone?

I have a few e855 mics and they've been great over the years, one has recently failed and I'm struggling to find a replacement capsule to get it working again. Has anyone got any clues where I could source parts? I've tried the usual Google and not found anywhere that has them... Or What would be a replacement of equal quality and clarity? I've heard good things about heil...? Ta

I gues you're on th emobile site...he's in Tavistock which is allegedly not in Cornwall
