The latest Musicians Union mag had a front page spread about instruments on planes and implying that they'd won, unfortunately I haven't read it yet but a quick trip to the MU web site may have the answer you seek.

I tried that with a Custom Sound 30w combo, not live, just in the kitchen and it was quite impressive, probably the best I've got it sounding, but didn't want the hassle of taking another amp with me. May still try it live though just to see, or should that be hear.

It does sound totally different in a loud, live situation and with other instruments competing. I'm going to try a Behringer HD300 next gig as I found that the previous distortion sounded a bit bee in a jam jar. During the sound check at the last gig, one of our fans came up and said that they really liked the Fission, the first time that they've commented on anything without being asked.

I'm one of the lots of others and I agree. Brilliant, you can't go wrong.

Any bass by Danelectro. Lighter than a light thing.

Never had any problems with wifi interference.

Brilliant. Thanks for posting.

Here you go. http://www.r-type.org/exhib/aaa0348.htm

Stringbusters, ordered 2 sets Tuesday lunchtime and they arrived Wednesday morning. Impressed or what.

That might well be worth a go.

Just bought a L/H Overwater Classic J, the Tanglewood one. I've got to wait a few days before it arrives, but when it does, I'll post my impressions.

I'm using one of these, http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/DM100.aspx set to rat.

Just started using one and love it. Don't expect the octave up to sound very good without distortion though and the built in distortion leaves a bit to be desired with an after ring to it. I use the effect out through a distortion unit and then bring the two signals back together through my amp and it sounds amazing. Taking the octave out to a separate amp also sound great but you still need a lot of distortion. If you want to make your bass sound like an 8 string, that it doesn't do, but it makes riffs sound killer.

I've gone back to single pedals. You get the sounds that you want instead of a load of effects which in my opinion don't really sound that good.

The sound samples sound a bit rubbish even if you only want it to mod. I picked up a L/H one of these recently, http://www.bass-guitar-museum.com/bass-8287-Samick-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar-with-Softcase and am seriously impressed. I even used it as my main bass at the last gig. Might be worth looking for a used one.

The first time I picked up a guitar I naturally held it left handed and I naturally picked out bass lines and started playing them, so bass it was for me. Tried right handed briefly but couldn't do it so stayed left handed. I do most things left handed. But only yesterday, I scanned the www for available L/H basses and if you're not after a bottom of the range model or want something that doesn't look like a Fender you're stuffed, as usual.

I've mounted both my guitar receiver and mic receiver on my 3 tier pedal board and have no problems at all. Mic on bottom tier, Line 6 XD-V70HS, for the antenna height and the G30 on the top tier. Makes setting up seriously easy.

Velcro - what a rip off.

He's right. £40 is what I paid for one last year.

The one on the right looks like a Kelly 50w valve head. Similar to a Selmer T & B 50.

Some of the glue joints haven't broken down have they? Might be worth checking that all the edges and corners are still solid.

If the Generator is bad enough, even SS amps won't work or just sound horribly distorted. Been there and done that more than once, that's how I know. If the generator is man enough though you'll have no problems.

Use to own one of these in 1969 along with a pair of Selmer Goliath 18" cabinets. Actually, it was the metal clad one and not the wooden case, same thing though. Sounded fantastic at the time. Our guitarist has got one of these in his attic as well and that sounds good too.

The power conditioner won't do a lot except tell you what the voltage is or more likely what it isn't. If you have to use a generator, the best bet is is to make sure that your equipment is the only thing running off of it even then it may not give enough power.

A bit of wet & dry wrapped round a screw driver and sand it off.
