Townsend may not have been a great lead guitarist but surely the best rhythm player ever!

I would suggest that it's nothing to do with money but all to do with attitude and commitment.  How you perform, the lack of faffing on stage.

I once used a large touring Mackie rig of many 1000s of watts and was pretty underwhelmed to be honest.

A bit of a pain to take a door to every gig just to use it though!

I've always found that the degree of GAS is proportionally related to the number of gigs, i.e., 2 or more gigs a week, no GAS. No gigs, enormous GAS!

If it's still working, it won't be the fuse.

If you can find pages from a 60s Bells catalogue that will give you a good idea but a couple off the top of my head are Egmond and Top 20.

Just thought of another one, Commodore.

The kits are on hold at the moment as I'm process of making them even easier to build and hopefully a bit cheaper!

Indeed they are.

Don't forget me!  

2 x 60s Superbass 100 heads and 4 x Sound City 4 x 12s.  Just glorious.  I preferred the Sound City cabs to the Marshall because they distorted less.  I also used the heads with 4 x Vox Foundation cabs, 1 x 18s, and they sounded great as well.  No roadies either!

Had Hiwatt, Sound City, Selmer, Simms Watts, Impact and Fender to name but a few.  All valve of course.  Tried the early transistor heads but they were all a bit lacking in volume and sounded pretty crap!

Here you go.

Excellent selection of left handed basses you have there.  Both of them look very nice!

18 000 usd in 1969 is the equivalent of about 190 000 ukp sterling depending on what calculation method is used ,,,,this is the lowest figure the others are all much higher ,,,,,,not bad for a few hours work 

Actually, I think you might be slightly wrong there.  Hendrix would have received £12,889 and The Who would have been paid £4,475 or possibly, £8,020 if Variety is correct.

I'd be tempted but far too much lacing for me!

Here you go Alex!

+1 to Ampband.

What?  Now I've got to find out what those mean!

Snowflake?  Marmalade sandwich?  I must have lived a very sheltered life.  I've got no idea what you're talking about!

How about covering it in good leaf?

What a fantastic toy.  I'll have a left handed bass one please!

Play and sing that one.  No problem for me at all as it's what Pete wrote and what people would hear on the original record which you can often hear on the radio.  I think the audience might notice if I sang the wrong words though, actually, they probably wouldn't.

Why not check out Bill's Simplex designs.  The plans are cheap enough.

I was in Ashton  last week but I'm now back in Hastings.  Sorry.

Living in Hastings, nearly everywhere is a long way to collect.
