Hi I love Parker guitars, they look so cool, watching the Joni Mitchell youtube clip. However, the basses are just damm ugly. Incidently, Chandlers are selling a used midi fly at the moment or were last time I looked. Cheers Paul

Hi, now that is what I call customer service (see above) many thanks Guy, I will give it a go tomorrow and let you know. Cheers Paul.

Hi I got the amp home yesterday, I had a brief play, there is no issues with the fan (fans X 4) I believe. The amp sounds great, my worry about the volume is not an issue anymore as others have said I just use the volume controls. The only issue is when punching in the drive control and using the amp with the drive activated there is a noticeable hum, this is not present when using the amp with just a clean tone. Any ideas? I am not that technically minded so in plain English please. Cheers Paul.

Thanks guys I feel reassured now. Cheers Paul.

Another Joni fan here, I think Hejira and chalk mark in a rainstorm (which is also a great album title) are my two favorites, fabulous bass playing, beautiful lyrics, everything that is great about Joni. I know others will disagree but I personally was not such a fan of her"jazz" period with Methany and Alias etc. Larry Klein gets overlooked in favour of Jaco but his output was just as special on her albums.

Neighbours are not a problem, we live in a detached stone cottage with about 18 inch thick walls. Is that right though 500 watts is only twice as loud as 50? surely not, if so I am really looking forward to trying this tomorrow, I thought it would be complete overkill. I will post an update sometime tomorrow evening. Cheers for the replies guys. Paul.

Hi All, I have just returned to the wild and wacky world of bass, bought my vintage Precision, and have been looking out for a suitable amp. Currently I only play at home but this may change but not for ages. I have bought an Ashdown Klystron 575 watt combo on a whim, obviously huge and very loud, which I collect tomorrow, I have been using a small Crate 50 watt amp in the mean time and have realised that in truth I don't actually need much more volume. My question is will the Ashdown still be useable at home volume levels or does it need to be cranked?

Hi As the title indicates I am now back to bass, and this forum after shelving my ambitions to be an ageing acoustic player. I have a 70's Precision incoming but with the money from the sale of my acoustics burning a hole in my pocket and severe GAS for other Precisons I am enjoying looking around at what available, ideally vintage (70's)s. I also need a decent amp for home use not too any watts but no crappy waspy sounding pile of s**t. So if you have such items hit me up with offers. I have been lurking around for a while before properly signing back in and am noticing that the forum seems have gone from strength to strength. Cheers Paul.

Hi, i have contacted Lord Sausage to pass on the book. Cheers Paul.
