Don't know if any of you guys use this site but sadly, Steve Lally the guy who set it up and runs it has succumbed to cancer over the weekend. The site is used extensively by both bands and live music fans as it featured a gig guide covering much of the North of England plus classifieds and chat forums. Steve worked tirelessly offering his services free of charge and helping raise the profiles of tons of bands. Thoughts are with Steve's family at this time. Very sad. Andy

Which colour should I put on this? figured with a UV strip light on my mic stand would look groovy.... a. Red b. Green c. Yellow d. Orange e. Are you freakin joking? Andy

That is bloomin awful.

We played at our local on Saturday. Have had a few private parties recently which although ok we're not that well attended so felt quite hard work hence Saturday was keenly anticipated. We were not disappointed. The place was packed. Loads in. 4 birthdays. Proper cross section of people. Ended up in a drunken, dancing melee with people falling over the monitors. All good natured though plus the landlord tipped us handsomely. Loved it. Andy

ha - sounds like a great idea!

Pudsey. What about you?

Having worked through the tutorial - it almost seems doable. Looks like the bits should cost C£20 - have created the template. Think I'm gonna have a go....wish me luck folks

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1348059284' post='1808628'] That's just what I need... [/quote] Thats the site I found too

Mutant do all kinds of ace stuff. Just a long way to post to and back from. Agree would look fab though

There's actually a tutorial on the web as to how to do it and run it off phantom power. Sadly, it lost me at about the second step. Am certain that there will be people way capable out there just finding them is the problem. If I get any joy I'll let you know. Watched one of your videos via a link from somewhere in here. Bloomin ace. A bit Jim Jones v The Meteors v Goldblade

I got exactly the same email followed by one saying she was busy with work but could courier it free. I didn't respond. The next one is where the pay scam happens. Scum

Found these guys on the web. I have a Shure Super 55 and think LEDs would look great. Anyone know if these conversions can be done in the uk? Yes I know I am a tart - but damn they look groovy

Buy it. Send it off for fettling to our own master guitar fixer. Sell it on for a HUGE profit

They were handmade Jazz style guitars (in the middle isle of the biggest room) The guy was from the West Mids. Lovely built with gorgeous grained maple necks and UK handwired pickups. Very nice.

[quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1347392671' post='1800259'] A rivoli you say? Ah, thats a terminal issue, just sell it to me cheaply On a serious note i had the same issue with an Epiphone LP bass. The luthier i took it too use wooden slat type inserts to 'fill out' the holes. Worked a treat. Need a rivoli in my stable, very nearly pulled the trigger on the tasty one at Bass Gallery [/quote] That made me laugh! Thx guys - I used Superglue and it seems to have fixed the issue. Still baffled as to why they suddenly loosened but at least they now appear stable again. Appreciate the advice. Cheers Andy

Anyone try the Volume Eleven basses? Very nice

Hiya - decided to use my Epiphone Rivoli after it's gathered dust for a while. New strings, polished frets, lemon oiled neck. Noticed when I tightened the strings that the E string was too high. Then noiced that on the 3 point bridge, the back 2 posts are pulling out of the body. Tried pushing back in, slackening off, raising and lower the front point and then putting strings on in different orders but as soon as I tighten any of them, the posts pull out. They feel like they could be a bit tighter in their holes but not sure whether I am doing something wrong or even whether I should glue them in? any thoughts folks? Cheers Andy
