    [quote name='Stewart' post='116429' date='Jan 8 2008, 06:49 PM']You'd want 3U (you just need some room at the top) A perforated/vented 1U panel would finish it off nicely...[/quote] I know nothing about rack mounted stuff, I thought it went up in 2s, 2U, 4U and so on. Been looking at the Ashdown ABM rack mounted one too. Will it work just the same as a normal head? Is the case just for protection for gigging?
  2. Jono Bolton
    What size of case would i need then if I was putting it in a case. Would 2U be too small? Would I need a 4U and then have a bit of extra space? I've been thinking about getting a rack mounted head and then a case to go with it. The only thing that's putting me off is that I can't try it out.

    [quote name='Platypus' post='116340' date='Jan 8 2008, 04:58 PM']Yep, very good amp and definetly suitable for gigging - think that price is good too, though I haven't checked it against other outlets[/quote] Thats in the clearance section. Think they have it new for about £460 or so.

    Found this in the clearance on Soundslive.co.uk: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Gallien-Krueger-700RB-II~ID~8144.asp"]GK 700RB-II[/url] Anyone tried one of these? Searching about on the net for a decent gig-able bass amp.

    [quote name='jay249' post='115933' date='Jan 7 2008, 11:27 PM']Yeah possibly worth adding I really don't fancy posting it. Sorry guys.[/quote] Well let me be the first to say that if no one on here's smart enough to take this off your hands and you decide you will post it, it's mine. Really guys, you're not going to find a bargain like this for a while.

    I still want it

    [quote name='paul, the' post='114459' date='Jan 6 2008, 12:07 AM']Sorry for the late response. I'm sure you've got this sorted by now but with APC you just give them a ring. Make sure you have the details ready:- ie weight and volumetric weight. Link to work it out: [url="http://www.apc-overnight.com/information.php"]http://www.apc-overnight.com/information.php[/url] Let us now how it goes/how it went.[/quote] Not sent it yet, been waiting on a cheque arriving (came today) and then clearing, probably send it at the start of next week, will let you know how it goes. [quote name='spinynorman' post='114467' date='Jan 6 2008, 12:25 AM']Interparcel is just an agent for various courier companies, so they'll give CityLink the volume commitment they want for an account and bulk discounts. Then they resell that to you at less than you would have to pay going to UPS or Parcelforce as an individual. They used to rebrand all the services and you'd just have to accept whoever turned up, but now you can pick DHL, CityLink, UPS etc, depending on how much you're prepared to pay. I've used all three of those through InterParcel and never had a problem, but I've probably been lucky. Possibly with the volume Interparcel have they get better service, but I don't know that.[/quote] Interparcel are the cheapest option I think, but they don't have anywhere near Ayr to pick the amp up

    Ten for me I think. Nope, eleven. Forgot about Rockers in Glasgow, which was horrible. Just under one gig a month isn't too bad I don't think for a band that only formed at the end of 2006, where until a few months go all 5 of us were still studying at uni.

    Legend, thank you! PM'd!
  10. Jono Bolton
    Any pictures? Might be interested.

    It's glued I think. I gave it a good hardy tug with my pliers/string cutters but it's going nowhere. I spoke to my tech guy, he says he's going to make me a new one, from metal or bubinga or a similarly hard wood, so I reckon I'll just leave it in for him to remove. He'll know what's holding it in seeing as he put the nut in there in the first place.
  12. Jono Bolton
    Corvette for me, although I'm not adversed to the Streamer either
  13. Jono Bolton
    How do I go about it? I need to get the broken nut out of my Jazz, but I've no idea how to do it. It's stuck in pretty good. I dunno what with, if it's glued in or if its just a really tight fit, but what's the best way to remove one?
  14. Jono Bolton
    Ebay, as much as it pains me to say it. I've had 2 now from this seller in the US. [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/InsightOut-Music"]InsightOut Music[/url] $11 for shipping to the UK, and the price is low enough that you wont have to pay customs on it, think the customs allowance is under £33. You'll have to get the saddles filed, but that shouldn't cost too much. And it's about 1/3 of the price you'd pay buying it from WD in the UK. Definite thumbs up from me.
  15. Jono Bolton
    Has anyone tried the Graphtech trem nuts? Any good?
  16. Jono Bolton
    Looking at the remains of the nut, the string slot on the low E was more of a square cut than a semi circle i.e straight lines and 90 degree angles than an nice, smooth cut, thats probably a big factor in it. Think I might try one off ebay, perhaps not Tusq, but at a fiver if it doesn't work it's hardly a major loss.
  17. Jono Bolton
    The original nut on my Jazz was very low down, and when I swapped to a Badass bridge the low E would jump out of the nut slot if I detuned to D (which I do, a lot). So my local tech made me a new nut, a Graph Tech one at a cost of £20. It was fine, good action, but the other night I was playing and a large chunk broke off, from the bottom of the low E slot to the top edge of the nut. I didn't hit it too hard, and I've hit harder, so I was a bit gutted when it broke. My question is, do I get my tech to make me a new one using the spare blank he gave me, or will a new precut form eBay do? There's several one eBay just now from very reputable dealers, precut to fit Jazz's and P basses. Has anyone got any experience of buying precut nuts? I don't want to spend money on a precut nut if it going to have the same problems as the original Fender one, but I don't want to spend even more on one being made for me just for it to break again.

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='112708' date='Jan 3 2008, 08:24 AM']Make your own you wooos! [/quote] Don't have the time, materials, tools, money or skill I posted a request for a 'plate in the Wanted section of the Marketplace, and was put onto Highly Strung, buying a new white pearl guard from there tomorrow after the wages are in! Some very positive feedback about them so I'm settled. Also, I used WD myself when I was after replacement knobs for the Jazz and some new allen keys. After phoning to ask if the knobs would fit the pot shaft and being told they would, they didn't, and they didn't send the allen key I'd ordered. I returned them, and they sent me the same wrong parts again. Eventually had to ask for a refund, which they did, no problems at all. Bit disappointed, but the P-bass plate it excellent, really top drawer.

    Any word on the Ashdown stuff yet? Looking for some Ashdown stuff.
  20. Jono Bolton
    The scratchplate for my precision I got from WD didnt go on as easily as I'd hoped, a bit of force was needed to get it over the pickup but it was a pretty snug fit once I'd snapped it into place. I spent ages last night scouring eBay, and decided to get a genuine Fender one, seems the only way to avoid the will it fit/wont it hassle of buy from a parts supplier. Found one from the states, gonna be about £11 inc. postage.
  21. Jono Bolton
    El bumpo! My birthdays in less than 4 weeks and I've been after an Ashdown, may give you a PM if it's still about!
  22. Jono Bolton
    I think the price is a bit optimistic. Fair enough, the guy paid a lot for it and wants a decent return for it, but no one's gonna pay that much for something that they can get new for a similar price, or for a few hundred quid less if they're aren't bothered about buying new. It's £40 for shipping too, whereas loads of shops do free delivery, and you can post a bass yourself if you're selling privately for about £10-15. Also trying to flog you're gear on a forum with your first post isn't cool either.
  23. Jono Bolton
    I prefer more traditional looking basses (Js/Ps/SGs) but someone on here's selling a very nice Schecter Rick-a-like, it looks the biz. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7198"]YUM!![/url]

    [quote name='SJA' post='112061' date='Jan 2 2008, 12:12 AM']acrylic's very dense, so I'd expect you'd get a lot of sustain and lows (Charlie Jones said that about his first see-thru bass) , but not much resonant snap. ps. a Status Stealth or a Steinberger cricket bat is entirely plastic too![/quote] I like sustain and lows! Might have a little scout about for an acrylic body.

    Who are the best parts retailers in the UK? I'm looking to get a new scratchplate for my MIM Jazz and there's similar ones on both Allparts and WD but the price difference is a tenner. Has anyone had experience with the two companies? I have a WD scratchplate on my Precision and it's pretty good. Who would I be better off buying from? The Allparts site doesn't say what models their plates fit, while WD has plates for all models. Or is there another company thats better than the two and I just haven't come across them yet?
