    We do the Leona Lewis version of Snow Patrol's 'Run' - it's right bang in our female singer's range, she loves it and gives it her all, and there's that wonderful 2 second pause of astonishment from the audience before they start clapping their little hands off Gets me everytime

    Bump for price drop, before it goes across to the electric boys

    I've got a pair of sunburst VM fretted & fretless, and as you now know, they are great guitars. I've put Gotoh bridges on mine, plus Rotosound Swing and Jazz strings, and they sound immense.

    Hmmmmmmmm.........I wonder if it will reach the end of the auction if it's well below that with a couple of minutes to go. Starting to see this more and more now, even though most auctions get bids in the last 30 seconds

    One to watch if you're in the mood for a 10 string Chapman stick. Low start and no reserve [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-String-Rosewood-Chapman-Stick-Mint-Condition-better-than-7-8-string-guitar-/180991370820?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a23ed2644#ht_545wt_1186"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-String-Rosewood-Chapman-Stick-Mint-Condition-better-than-7-8-string-guitar-/180991370820?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a23ed2644#ht_545wt_1186[/url]

    That's positively brimming with information compared to one of her other listings [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/painting-/170919884517?pt=UK_art_Paintings_GL&hash=item27cb9e76e5#ht_500wt_1156"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/painting-/170919884517?pt=UK_art_Paintings_GL&hash=item27cb9e76e5#ht_500wt_1156[/url]

    I don't think you can beat some live videos. If the band are bouncing, look good, and plenty of punters are leaping around having fun, then I'd be more interested in booking you (in a theoretical sense) than some studio tracks - good as they are. IMHO having a live band at your function is all about performance and audience interaction rather than pure musical skill. I like the 'wanted poster' look, but it may be a bit too intimidating for someone looking for a 'nice' band for their wedding. Don't forget, it's not the bride & groom you have to please - it's their mothers!!!!! I'd go and see you in a pub, but I wouldn't book you for a function unless I knew what you looked and sounded like on stage Hope that helps (or not)

    As has been said before - unless you sh1t yourself and then burst into flames on stage, no-one notices the bass player (or what they play) i get the basics right and then add a bit of stuff that makes me happy

    Is it a bass, or is it an EUB? Well I'll try it in both places and see who bites [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]35" scale length, so fretless bass players will have no problem with fingering (don't!) The ball joint on the stand gives a large range of playing positions, and locks tight, so no slippage even when the neck is cranked over. You can almost get it down to electric bass angles to help you get started on it.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pretty good condition - you can see my grubby fingermarks in the photo, but it's free from any bad dings or dents. Comes with its original semi-hard case and the spanner for adjusting the main stand height. The stand height can be then be fine tuned with the normal finger clamp. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've fitted a Hollis GX10 preamp into it, to lower the impedence and give it a bit more boost, but it's a 2 minute job to unsolder it if it's not your thing.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It has a single volume control - nothing else, so knob twiddlers will have little to interest them.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Sounds more like a DB than an electric, with loads of sustain and a mwwaah that grows out of the end of any held note. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£350 collected from Truro, Cornwall, or add your choice of courier on top if I need to send it to you[/font][/color] [attachment=120074:DSC_0978.JPG][attachment=120075:DSC_0979.JPG][attachment=120076:DSC_0980.JPG][attachment=120077:DSC_0981.JPG][attachment=120078:DSC_0982.JPG][attachment=120079:DSC_0983.JPG][attachment=120080:DSC_0984.JPG][attachment=120081:DSC_0985.JPG][attachment=120082:DSC_0986.JPG]

    You need to get a continuous ground/earth. Line the pup and control cavities with the tape, overlapping it so that it's totally covered. If you have a pickguard, there may be a channel for the pup wire to the control cavity. If so, line that as well and ensure the tape connects all the cavities. If there's no channel, you'll need to solder an earth wire from each pup cavity lining to the control cavity lining. In the control cavity, put a little lip of copper on the edge in a couple of places so that it makes contact with the control plate (assuming it's a metal plate) This will then complete the earth circuit to the jack socket and earth on the guitar lead. Sounds trickier than it actually is, and it really does kill that annoying hum

    Did 3 of my basses with a 4m reel of copper tape for £6. Totally killed the hum and only took about 30 mins per guitar once I'd got the hang of it ;-) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390468328691#ht_981wt_922

    This guy has a limited range of valves, but they are a great price. I paid £24 for a set of 4 brand new, matched, Sovtek EL84's including shipping. Took 15 days to come across the pond via UPS, so don't buy if you need them in a hurry. They were well packed and work perfectly. Friendly guy to deal with and good comms. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/bmsanborn/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

    Just bought a Line 6 G30 and the sound quality is superb. The transmitter is really light and you just don't notice it clipped onto your belt. My receiver Is down on the pedal board. I like the fact that it has no external aerial to snap off. Just looks like another pedal. My house is old and most guitars have some hum from mains interference when on a lead. None whatsoever when using the G30. Several people have commented about the battery cover, but unless you are a bit rough or ham fisted, it doesn't look too flimsy to my eyes. There's always Gaffa tape to keep it shut! Only got it today, but so far, very impressed
