The case looks nice.

Some useful info here, http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=398 Good luck with the gig!

You could get something like this and save a lot of cash. http://www.tooled-up.com/product/twin-16amp-socket-110v-power-tool-transformer-3.3kva/998/?Referrer=googleproductlisting&gclid=CjwKEAiA74qkBRCdrM-6or7U73QSJABCDL9pYugOAkzQHSipC8Om_uZZ1qRE1FWVYgeZ60DWIgK82BoC_Ofw_wcB

Thanks for the link. Amazing! Loved The Lone Ranger and Benny Hill, in fact love it all. Going seriously piss my 8 year old grandaughter off with Let It Go later. She's gone to the theatre to see The Frozen musical and I'll have it cued up and ready to roll for when she gets back. Teach her to make me suffer with the original for months.

We use a minidisc player for intros and outros and only one on each disc, makes playing them a simplicity itself. Put disc in minidisc, press play, it plays and then stops. Anyone can do it and saves you a job.

I started on one of these, [url="http://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/vox/bass/Clubman.php."]http://www.vintagegu...ss/Clubman.php.[/url] It cost me £5 in 1965. Then I had an Egmond B2 shown here. [url="http://www.egmond.se/egmond_se_History.html."]http://www.egmond.se...e_History.html.[/url] Also cost £5. Then progressed to one of these, [url="http://www.tuneyoursound.com/collection/burns-artist-bass-1960."]http://www.tuneyours...tist-bass-1960.[/url] Yet again £5, wish I still had it now. Got one of these next, brand new from Bells Catalogue. [url="http://www.allguitars.com/Guitar/Electric/slides/Wilson%20Sapphire%20Bass.html."]http://www.allguitar...re%20Bass.html.[/url] Left handed of course. All the others had been turned upside down. Surprisingly good bass at the time. Then in 1972 got my first, and last, Fender P, just like this one, [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/251697484583?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0."]http://www.ebay.co.u...f14=108&ff19=0.[/url] Mine only cost £220 though.

Why not record a gig then play it back to him and ask what he's actually playing.

Found the same thing with a Gramma Pad. I now only use it when it's needed.

Why not build in both and have them switchable, then you'll have the best of both worlds and also the option of bypassing the EQ altogether.

If I remember correctly, Session used these in their amps, http://www.ilpelectronics.com/amplifiers/audio.asp

My guess would be a wire has fallen off. Have a look and see if any wires are not attached of if one of the wires is touching an earth.

I bought one of those new in 1972 and it cost me £220. A right handed one would have cost £200 but Fender charged 10% extra for left handed. How's that for unless information.

Sorry about that. I never looked.

I've got one of these [url="http://www.rygeruk.co.uk/html/fl-p1.html"]http://www.rygeruk.c...html/fl-p1.html[/url] for sale on basschat here, http://basschat.co.uk/topic/246980-ryger-dmx-lighting-controller-fl-p1/. That'll do the job perfectly.

On holiday in Las Vegas at the moment so rather than playing I'll be enjoying the festivities on Fremont Street. Loads of bands and music to enjoy.

I started playing in 1964 and used to own / play many of the instruments that are fetching fantastic sums of money now and without exception they ranged from just OK to out and out crap and it amazes me that people are paying such vast amounts for these instruments. I used to pay about £5 for them. I've seen and played many of the 70s copies that appeared and they also ranged from just OK to out and out crap. What truly amazes me is the Kay / Woolworths specials that appeared, total rubbish yet people are paying vast amounts of cash for them, amazing. I wish I'd of bought a few at the time, I'd be a rich man now! I couldn't afford my first Precision until 1972 and that was a load of rubbish as well. For information, it cost £220, 10% extra for left handed and it would have cost me another 10% to have a solid colour rather than sunburst, so sunburst it was. I did get to play a 68 Precision when I did some recording in the 70s and I have to admit that that was very nice, right handed though. Of course, all of the above is just my opinion.

Does this help? http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep12/articles/kmi-softstep.htm

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1413975583' post='2584209'] Another one for the tried and tested "lower it till it buzzes then raise it till it doesn't" method of setting the action here... [/quote] This, but as I play hard and with a pick the action is quite high and the P and J pickup are set to balance each other for the sound I like.

Personally I wouldn't waste my time with a clip on mic in the situation you're trying to use it in as you'll only get feedback or very little volume boost. I'd use a decent headset mic then at least the mic will be close your good ladies mouth and you'll have a chance of getting a bit of volume without feedback.

Being in a 60s band our choice of wardrobe spans an entire decade, plenty of choice there and I can still wear the same things as when I was a teen. No fashion for me thanks.
