  1. I asked here, http://www.blue-room.org.uk/ Very knowledgeable and helpful.
  2. Don't say that, I've just bought a red set of DRs. I've just put them on and they are all nice and new sounding, am I lucky? I have to say that I quite like them actually, still got to gig with them yet though.
  3. Record it and post it to yourself recorded or registered delivery but don't open it. Instant proof that you wrote it first and when and anyone else playing it nicked it from you.
  4. Entwhistle pickups. I bought a P & a J and I can't really hear a difference between my them and my EMGs.
  5. As a last resort, perhaps you could get a black one, or a matching pair and spray / paint them brown. It's possible that Fender had a container full made just for them and when there're gone, there're gone. Good luck.
  6. We do exactly that but just go from the headphone out on the ipod into 2 channels of the desk. Works great. 3.5mm stereo jack to 2 x mono jacks.
  7. One of these perhaps? http://www.swanflight.com/flightcase-hardware-handles/flightcase-hardware-cabinet-bar-handles.html No brown though.
  8. So much useful information here. http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/ Well worth a read of a few topics but it might take you a while.
  9. The NA, NA, NA, bit would be G, D, A, E, which would bring you to the B which would be the note that's played in the verse. The Hush, Hush, bit is B, E, A and that's the whole song. Hope this helps. Just re-read your post and yes, they've gone from C to B. As an aside, I came across this the other day. Brilliant! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIn5qNpfeQ0

    Get it fretted and it should be quite easy.
  13. Had an inuke for a couple of years now and it's still working.
  14. It's one of those things that you get used too with practice and I found that I had to change the way that I played certain songs. Great sound though, so it's worth it.
  15. In the first photo it looks like there may be a break in the wire that comes out from under the yellow tape and solders onto the pad. If that is a break, then it is repairable but is a seriously fiddly job. If it's not broken then the voice coil has gone open circuit and the you might as well throw the mic away or try to get a new cartridge and use the old body of the mic but you'll still have to solder the new cartridge in. Easiest just to get a new mic. The wires should have been soldered otherwise the signal from the cartridge would not have been able to pass through to the XLR plug at the end of the mic unless you were very lucky and they made contact by just touching.
  16. Woolworths and every thing cost 6d and long before pick 'n' mix. I think that the shop are being a bit unfair especially after having a chat with Tim about your problems. I wish you all the best.
  17. I have repaired mics before and it's a bit fiddly but you get there in the end. In the first photo it looks like the wire from the voice coil, the thin wire under the yellow tape, is broken but that may just be the photo. The way to check it is to put a meter across the two solder pads either side of the brass standoff. If you get continuity then all is well. If the wire is broken, then using a magnifying glass and a sharp knife / blade, scrape the wire until the varnish is removed and solder it back together. You may need to bridge the gap with a very thin piece of wire. A wire from each solder pad passes through the holes shown in the second photo and are soldered to the yellow and white wires in the last photo. To do this you have to undo the nut between the yellow and white wires shown in the last photo. With this undone, it's reasonably simple the thread the two wires from the solder pads through the holes by the yellow and white holes and solder them in place. I'm sure that with the bits of the mic infront of you you'll get the idea. Good luck.
  18. Sorry, I forgot the .
  19. Surely it's Sunshine Of Your Love.
  20. Are you sure that it's working OK? Didn't I read somewhere that wires are prone to come adrift due to bad soldering making the bass not fit for purpose?
  21. Is this what you're after? http://www.rapidonline.com/Electronic-Components/Solder-Tag-Rotary-Switches-30304
  22. Prescription, octagonal and rose tinted, very 60s. I love them as do the audience.
  23. +1 to the graphic EQ. Use one myself for this very purpose. A Behringer BEQ700 to be precise.
  24. Sorry old chaps but tinning the ends before screwing down is a recipe for disaster. The screws will just cut through the wire. Best left naked.
