    Thanks Deaver - yes, I can split; I have a potential buyer for both though. In case that sale is not confirmed I will let you know (and update the thread). Note I will be away (but with online access) from later today until Saturday 8th, so collection/delivery will be not possible over that period. Cheers!

    Shame mine's at the dry cleaners...

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1459176932' post='3014139'] Indeed... I would imagine that, in the right circumstances, these would create a 'Storm Baer'!

    I'm happy with our Behringer PMP 4000 setup, great value. Worth looking at deals on Thomann etc.

    Indeed! Sorry I completely missed that. In fact I hadn't heard the term 'Fenderbird' before, now reading up...

    Seems ideal for a tribute: certainly more affordable than a Mike Lull (which looks amazing)! [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_Lull_T4_TB.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_Lull_T4_TB.html[/url]

    With the arrival of my Greenboy 2x15 its time to move on my two Baer ML112s with padded covers.

The handles look fine, and are fully attached. The covers are lightly marked (see pics) but I will see if the marks will sponge off. The covers have no rips. Cabinet feet are all sound, the grilles on both cabs are firmly in place, and the back panel connection points are unmarked and tight.[/font][/color] Speaker configuration is 12" + 6", 350w at 8 Ohms.

    [quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1457821663' post='3002168'] That head would be cool recovered with the green material! Can I use the word 'heft'? [/quote] Guy kindly provided spare green paint - it is tempting!

    Just taken delivery of a Greenboy Dually 215, with 2 x Faital 15PR400s and a custom green paintjob, from Tricky Audio. Here it is with its new Fender buddies. Sounds lovely, although not yet tested at battle volume so will report back following first practice session. A doddle to move with meaty handles and casters. Big thanks to Guy from Tricky Audio!

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1457529449' post='2999369'] Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie. Stunning. [/quote] Indeed - although that was a triple album, with each side being themed - the running order was different to the CD to match these themes (and the LP had two extra tracks). Edit: come to think of it, it was a 2xCD, and a triple LP - so either a double or triple album!

    [quote name='megallica' timestamp='1457474053' post='2998988'] Also maybe im being picky here but guns n roses illusion albums were released as two seperate albums rather than a double album. [/quote] They were both released as double albums - I remember stacking the shelves at HMV with them: https://www.discogs.com/Guns-N-Roses-Use-Your-Illusion-I/master/9536 https://www.discogs.com/Guns-N-Roses-Use-Your-Illusion-II/master/9586

    [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1457419692' post='2998223'] Oooooh Life:Live over Live And Dangerous? Controversial. [/quote] Do you know, I'm ashamed to say I've never heard Live & Dangerous. Trevor you've encouraged me to sort that out forthwith...my love of Life:live may be down to having nothing to compare it to! [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1457438381' post='2998478'] Neither count: no live albums and compilations allowed. [/quote] Note to self: read rules, especially rules 1 & 2

    [b]Works:[/b] Sonic Youth, "Daydream nation". Has to be heard start to finish. Even the sprawly parts like, erm, 'The Sprawl', work in the full context, especially with the bizarre voicemail-with-piano track Providence splitting the two parts. And an amazing three-part song ending. Minutemen, 'Double nickels on the dime'. My favourite double album cover and title, and packed with lots of nuggets that are short enough to leave you wanting more of each. Huge variety. Plus Out of the Blue as mentioned above, I still have the cardboard spaceship on a spire! [b]Live doubles:[/b] Space Ritual - love the Michael Moorcock spiel, Ramones "It's alive!" and Thin Lizzy's Life:live - I don't care if it's overdubbed, it's superb. [b]Don't work:[/b] For bands that I like it's just a case of too much filler, like Tom Wait's Real Gone, Songs in the Key of Life etc. But they would have made very good single LPs.

    20 song set in local pub, which had a concurrent party going on but nobody seemed to mind - in fact one of their toddlers got up and danced by the monitors which made us all grin First time with a dep drummer who was excellent - funny thing was I've seen his band before who are tight as a gnat's, and he's been playing with his bassist for over 20 years - so they are telepathic, and maybe share a raised eyebrow to communicate. Whereas I must have looked like I was in a gurning contest with all the unsubtle signals! Worked very well though. Also delighted that my soldering job on the 79 p bass was up to scratch, new pickups were mighty. Bit of fart on E string, with the master on the Tec Amp Puma at max, but playing nearer the neck and not over the pups cured that. And we were given delicious buffet food and beer afterwards, so happy bunnies all round.

    Looking at this from another angle: we're in the fortunate position whereby our pub audience is so small, we can simply give each of them IEMs. Voilà - no bulky PA speakers!

    About to wire in some Fender 'original '62 bass pickup' reissues. The diagram with the pups is: Close up: So to my eyes the cap is going lug-to-lug between the volume and tone pots. I've only seen the cap go from lug to tone pot top (and ground) - so is the diagram correct? Stewmac also has a lug-to-lug cap, but additionally has the cap soldered to the vol pot top to ground, and uses different lugs: I think there's a mistake in this one too - white is hot and black is ground, according to the [url="http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Learn_About_Guitar_Pickups_and_Electronics_and_Wiring/Wiring_Kit_for_P-Bass.html"]text [/url], so surely the connections from the lower two lugs from V in the diagram should be white? All advice much appreciated!
