Been there and done that! Copydex is your friend. I put an equal amount on the opposite side of the speaker as well just to balance things up, just in case.

I was interested until I read that the speakers were not included!

Valve amps have an output transformer with various impedance taps, usually 16, 8 and 4 ohms. You set the impedance to match the cab(s). The full output is available in all impedances.

Bit complicated just to switch the echo on & off between songs. Is there no easier way?

Just a quick question for anyone using a digital mixer like the Soundcraft Ui 12, Behringer xair xr12, etc. Do any of them have the ability to switch the effects off remotely, like the old echo units that had a jack socket for a foot switch. If they don't, is it possible to switch the effects on & off remotely, if so, how? Thanks.

How does it compare to the 69er?

When I started playing there were only flats. When round wounds first became available they were a revelation, they were for me without a doubt. I've used nothing else since and the thought of going back to flat wounds fills me with dread and horror!

It's a short scale but still a bit long for him so he's mainly trying to play the dusty end but it's what he wanted, well, he wanted a red bass guitar with 2 pickups and a black scratch plate and it's the only one I could find that was short scale and didn't cost a fortune. He's uses a pick as well. I think that he might be heavily influenced by me but all the time he's into it I'll do my best to encourage him.

I bought my grandson Tom a G4M Seattle as a Christmas present, he's 5 and the bass is red with a black scratch plate, his specification and I have to say it's pretty good for the cash. Necks a bit chunky but a lot of people like that.

It's called drum wrap unsurprisingly and a google search will bring up thousands of finishes. On drums it's held on with double sided tape and the tension fittings.

Oh how I dream of having something like this!

Nice to hear praise for a change. Perhaps that's a good idea for a thread, customer service beyond what's necessary.

Rotos to Elite stadium 50-110 and stayed there.

Mine did that and it was the end, that's how I ended up with my Rumble 500 which I have to say I'm very happy with.

Midi bass pedals might be an option.

Don't forget, Hi Ho Silver Lining.

50 - 110 elite stadium.

I swapped my EB3 for a Hoyer in a music shop when we played in Munich in 1978. Brilliant bass. Wish I still had it. Can't tell you anymore than that really, Sorry.

?

Love everything from Deep Purple but if I've got to choose, Woman From Tokyo and Highway Star from Made in Japan. Oh that's 2, sorry.

Superb! They went on to form the all bass band as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN42uzNFVmQ

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1482937630' post='3203624'] Something like this? Been there - done that. However I needed to do some work on it before it was a player. - Aligned the pickups to the strings, the bridge pu was moved over by 3 millimeters, the neck pu by 1 millimeter. - Due to the moving of the pickups I also had to move the pickguard. - Reshaped the nut, they just put on a right handed one so this needed to be seriously modified. - Gave the tuner bushings a few knocks on their head, they were mounted crooked. - The fingerboard had several less good looking and finished spots, re-finished these. - Crowned the frets where needed and polished them, they were level but rough finished in a lot spots. I just can't and won't cope with this reversed crap! - Done a full shielding of the controls cavity, there was none whatsoever. - Made a thumb rest. - Made a new truss rod cover. - Replaced the strap holders, what was on there was mounted with very thin and short screws, to leave those would have been waiting for an accident to happen. - Checked if all the screws and bolts were tightened and if they weren't tightened them (more often than not they were loose!). - Did a full and thorough setup.
