  1. Heavily slagged off for being a Streamliner clone but you can't get a Streamliner anymore so seems like a good option to me. I'm going to get one when I'm rich again.
  2. 3 inch might be better as cracks in pavements etc, won't be noticed as much but you might have to raise the front of the cab a bit so that it's level. Another option is 4 wheels on the bottom of the cab and turn it on its side when in use it then becomes a high dolly and you can wheel loads of gear in at once.
  3. I've used those before, infact still got them on the bins, 2 inch. They work a treat.
  4. Sorry, but it looks like my ink stained desk top from school.
  5. I could do that for you. PM me if you're interested.
  6. You'll have to let us know if it works.
  7. Here you go, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLCAjcm84Ss worth a try!
  8. Fender P. Finally got one new in 1972. How disappointed was I.
  9. I'm watching!

  11. a couple of hours each way.
  12. Pickup placement plays a big part in the Ric sound. Copy the placement and use single coil pickups and you're mostly there. I've done it with jazz pickups, roundwounds and a pick. That's for my version of the Ric sound anyway.
  13. Go for it. I've had a couple and they're great.
  14. I like the sound of the Duncan Antiquity ll myself.
  15. I could make one of those for you. PM me if you're interested.

  17. Bought the Kindle version. Not going on holiday but I've just started a new series of 4 but I've got something to read when I've finished them.
  18. Brilliant!
  19. Ashdown mag 4x10 in Hastings. 8 ohm though.
  20. I'd get one of these, http://www.fishman.com/products/series/fx/fissionbasspowerchordfxpedal.php It does this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0DGzL4nFKU A mixed output or 2 separate outputs one for bass the other for the effect so you run 2 amps. It's brilliant!
  21. Excellent piece of work. Well done!
  22. Old coat hanger wrapped round anything that protrudes from the wall. Seriously. It works well.
  23. Mrs Bert always wanted to play bagpipes so no expense spared, I bought her a set for Christmas one year, they cost about £60. Totally useless. Mrs Bert thought it was her not being able to get much of a sound out of them but it turns out that the cheap bagpipes are rubbish and no one can play them. You have to spend a lot of cash to get bagpipes that can actually be played. The cheap ones look good hanging on the wall as an ornament though.
  24. Here's a photo of the Jacks on stands being used for P.A. Pay special attention to our 'very happy' crew, our Tim sat on the front of the stage. He loves the Jack 12 Lites because they're so light! So easy to put on the stands he said. [attachment=223884:JACKS-IN-USE.gif] If you look carefully you can see Wedgehorns 6s on the front of the stage. Foldback has never been so good!
  25. I remember it well and your second. I remember my 2 Jack 15 cabs as well, truly mega but a bit on the heavy side and awkward. I suppose in retrospect, I could have used just one of them but then what's the point of having 2. What really brings home how good the Jacks actually are is when you go walkabouts on wireless and hear 'your sound' from the audience, it's everywhere you go. The same sound everywhere. No treble missing 'cause you're not in front of the cab and no diminishing of quality of sound over distance. They have to be heard and used to be believed. A true leap of faith but well worth taking that leap!
