[quote name='griffonite' post='157578' date='Mar 14 2008, 05:52 PM']Ampeg B100R Made in U.S.A. Bought new in November 1998. Excellent condition apart from some stitching on handle coming apart. I originally bought this as a rig just for doing theatre/pit gigs etc as I had a 400w 4 by 10 Marshall head and cab but ended up selling the Marshall as the Ampeg was more than adequate even for the loudest bands I have played with including a VERY loud Bowie tribute band I occasionally dep'd for! This rig sounds much louder than 100w as a visit to Harmony Central will confirm. £300 PICKUP ONLY. I am in Leeds. Call 07833 174174.[/quote] Is it still for sale? can I come and have aplay? I am in leeds too. If OK, will probably buy it just havent played one and want a smaller combo for rehearsal and maybe small gigs (got the Ampeg 8x10 and 450 head so not really portable) Give me a call if ya like Andy 07710 015834 -
[quote name='onehappybunny' post='165588' date='Mar 28 2008, 09:42 PM']thanks mate - appreciate the plug. Can't believe I missed this thread. Looks like Andy and I will be doing the deal next week. If we had more room and my daughters were remotely interested in playing I would gladly keep it. I'm sure his young'un will be a very happy bunny [/quote] Yep, thanks all, great advice. looking forward to getting the little Gretsch and Roland combo now. Shame Nick and I live 200 miles apart !! Thanks again Andy

My 9 year old is keen to learn the black art of bass playing. Trouble is he is a shrimp so my Ricky, P Bass and Stingray are too big, he cant reach the bottom of the neck. I have a shortscale Epiphone Rivoli which fits better but the semi body is too big again. I guess my dilema is, do I buy a cheap 3/4 scale new bass (which will likely have a cr@p action and playability) or buy something like a Musicmaster which is short and should have decent playability? Typically, none about right now except at too much money. OR is there another cunning plan someone can shere with me? Waddya think? what would YOU do? Andy

cheers Bassfunk, I should have said, we are all aged 40ish, a drummers age aint an issue for us but would understand if ours was for them ! Thanks again though. Andy

Now I know it's not a bassist however, we need a drummer as soon as possible for a Leeds based rock/punk/indie anthem cover band. Play a couple of times a month, rehearse once a week. Experience and vocals desireable but ability and good attitude a must. We have PA, transport and are ready to go as soon as poss. We are in it for fun and to make a bit of beer money. If anyone fancies it, or knows anyone who might fit the bill, please get in touch. Cheers. Andy

Anyone know a skilled bodywork repairer in the North (I am in Leeds) who might be able to fix a couple of horrible dings in my otherwise pristine Rickenbacker 4003? I thought I was being cool, bought a strap that had a metal ring joining it which weighed a ton. The freakin thing then took 2 chunks out of the edge of the body. They are only in the varnish and binding but looks a bugger so gotta get em fixed. PS. Anyone wanna buy a strap?

Hiya Tony, yes ROTN is a fab site. I saw the review you guys got by Mav for the Keys gig. Sounds like you had a good night? We have played there, is OK but never seems to get that busy? still, is great that the landlady keeps it going a music pub. They are getting scarce in Leeds ! Will watch out and try get to see you guys too Regards Andy

I have been a member for a coupla months now. What a great site! Based in Leeds and play in Fifty-50 a covers band doing rock/punk & classic brit stuff. Good fun. Play a Ricky 4003, 1970P Bass, Stingray and a Epiphone Rivoli Semi (looks nice) thru Ampeg 450 and 8x10 (plus 4X10 to save my back) Played for 25 years and STILL no better !! have fun though. Got to have a twang of a monster 9 string custom made bass a couple of weeks ago belonging to a guy from a local band Export. One word...BIZARRE ! Anyway hi from me. Andy

[quote name='Hit&Run' post='107806' date='Dec 21 2007, 06:49 PM']I'd quite like a nice black guitar strap with a buckle, [i]a la Marcus[/i]. It doesn't have to be identical to his, just as long as it's black, has a buckle, and is preferably quite wide for load-bearing duties. I haven't seen one in a shop for a while; so do any of you guys know of products and/or retailers that fit my requirements? Bo![/quote] Hi Mate, there is a guy who has a little workshop at Hebdon Bridge who make them. (It is on the canal side so easy to find) I got one a year or so ago and it cost about £20 !! is a great fella and cheap as chips. Basically does whatever you want. Also there is a company who sell on EBay El Dorado lookalikees. They are cheap too. Try search under Mexican/Western Guitar strap Ta Andy
