    [quote name='Johngh' post='56831' date='Sep 7 2007, 09:24 AM']+1 Your not kidding. I posted a comment on the EB forum about this subject and thought I was going to get shot ! [/quote] I think thats a good enough reason to ignore that forum completely (apart from the 25 min refresh times during peak demand). I think they're very parochial on that forum and its encouraged from the highest levels due because of corporate and commercial imperatives, rather than social ones.

    [quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='56637' date='Sep 6 2007, 06:18 PM']Hydrogen bonding is reversable by adding water. I really hope they're using something else too![/quote] Me too, I'm not sure hemp is known for its acoustic properties. So whatever binder is used would need to be pretty rigid.

    [url="http://www.drumparam.at/hempstone.html"]http://www.drumparam.at/hempstone.html[/url] The process just seems to be bash a load of hemp together and it will dry hard because of hydrogen bonding (whatever that means). I can only guess that the hardness is dictated by how fine the pulp is mashed perhaps?

    I'm going to have to let the tickets go I'm afraid.

    I'm interested - just need to see if I can persuade another party to accompany me.

    [quote name='Lorne' post='56316' date='Sep 6 2007, 02:56 AM']CrazyKiwi You do realize wiping the hard drive will NOT stop people from being able to see what information you used to have on their right?[/quote] I have a special piece of software that scrubs each sector on the drive so the data, once deleted, stays deleted. I haven't used it yet on the PC hard drive but I will before the PC goes.

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='55669' date='Sep 5 2007, 12:13 AM']That sounds like a plan Steve - can you buy these neo 10" cones from anywhere, or do I need to go to a particular manufacturer?[/quote] [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/menu/index.php?category=Speaker_Components&masthead=Loudspeaker_Drivers&subheadnew=10_inch_Drivers"]Blue Aran[/url] have a good stock of cones although mostly Eminence, Fane or P-Audio. It might be worth looking on Ebay for other manufacturers like Celestion or JBL? Maybe other members can suggest good suppliers as well?

    [quote name='MB1' post='55535' date='Sep 4 2007, 08:56 PM']MB1. So thats what Green(Scritti Politti) meant ....WOOD BEEZ!.[/quote] Nope, sorry you've lost me there.

    GK drivers don't have a spotless reputation unfortunately and have been known to go. I've played an RB400 with an Eminence 15" cone in it and the sound was pretty good. With a pair of neo 10" cones in, your cab might have yet more midrange punch.

    £420 is fine in principle but it all depends on what someone else is prepared to pay.

    blimey, what a useful link!

    I'd never pay retail for one, but I do like the look and shape of the Fodera Beez Elite

    I've just taken possession of a funky upgraded pro-quality strat clone (so much for the ambition for a Parker, but at least the necks going to be stable). So I'm selling my current guitar which I bought just because I wanted something to muck about with. I've had it for nearly a year, its very light with a slim profile maple neck and basswood body. Its a sort of budget rock guitar I guess but not bad value for the money at all. The action and set up is pretty good too. This guitar [i]doesn't come with a case[/i] as I've only used it at home, but if you're looking for something cheap to bash chords out on it or fancy dabbling in guitar without excessive financial risk (like me) then this instrument would be ideal. I'll put up some pics tonight but this is one similar to mine from their [url="http://www.wolfguitars.co.uk/"]site[/url]: Body: Solid with walnut double top Neck: Hard Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Frets: 24F Hardware: Chrome Satin Description: Natural walnut double top body Offers accepted so don't be shy.

    [quote name='3V17C' post='54443' date='Sep 2 2007, 09:54 PM']i used to use one of these 4x12 cabs - absolutely awesome sound - in fact i'm thinking about going back down the 4x12 route again....[/quote] I SO didn't need to read that! I missed out on a metal grilled one on Ebay a couple of weeks ago which went for fairly reasonable money because I prevaricated. Oh well, hopefully a pair of Acmes will be coming soon.

    Martin Petersen at the Bass Gallery gets a small firm who refinish roulette wheels to do his basses, so he tells me.

    Its on the BBC news website [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6972548.stm"]here[/url]. [i]"The bass player and vocalist sleepwalked out of a first floor window of the villa where he was staying in the South of France. Quinn was rushed to a specialist spinal unit in Toulouse where surgeons operated to repair two broken vertebrae as well as a smashed heel..." [/i] I can't even begin to imagine how he managed that, but its nice to know he's got the sympathy of his band mates [i]"Frontman Gaz Coombes said: "We hope the crazy fool gets back on his feet as soon as possible. I'm sure he'll make a full recovery; he's a tough cookie."[/i]

    [quote name='Josh' post='54453' date='Sep 2 2007, 10:11 PM']I'd love Kiwi's Smith but I've only just got a new job as of yesterday, it's not to say it out of the question but it would take me about 4 months to get £2000 but I know I'll find another one or something similar,[/quote] Mine may be sold this week if the member concerned can get down to London to collect it. But they've chosen not put a deposit down so its still available to anyone else until they get here. There's also a shedua faced Smith BT6 for sale at the Bass Cellar for £1830 but its extremely worn and had about 4 owners in the last 2 years. When I first saw it on the Bass Centre's walls, the bass was on sale for £2500 and it came back in two or three times so was a bit of a cash cow for them.
