I read the second option as Disabled People against Cats... I either need more tea or an early night Three very worthy causes, can I split my vote and send £3.33 to each of them?

Made in 1956 and kept in a cellar since... It's got 6 strings as well according to the eBay header.

I don't suppose you know which hotel? I did start thinking about a Northampton bash, there's a thread on here somewhere. I'd just be worried that no-one would turn up and I'd sit there looking silly

Haha! After a quick visit to my engineering supplier (my dad ) last night the PSU and the permanent pedals are now mounted on the top grey plate. Fortunately the pedals hide most of the holes made by previous cock-ups but underneath it looks like it's been shotgunned! I need to make some new side plates due to the old ones splitting, fit the timber to the 1U channels and then it can be called finished Pics when it is actually done. I'm going to make a flightcase for it as well, but I'm not going to diary that as there are enough of those out there already.

Nissan and Honda both had some freaky colours, the Nissan Primera came in a weird purple/green that really depended upon the light to see what it was and the CBR400RR had a black/purple option which was rather good. Just putting them out there for interest really. I've no idea how well they would work on a bass though.

I was thinking of a 15Sub in an only cab setup. Will it cope with a 500w head with the Eminence 3015? I'll be getting the kit if I do get one as I like making stuff Do you supply instructions, I've never done anything like this before so I'd like advice about filling the box with padding, wiring the speaker in etc etc

'75 P Bass for me please, if wishes were pennies this thread would be a proper earner I'd actually just like a nice proper P Bass, but even though there are a few in the sale rooms I can't justify it, except as someone said earlier you only live once

Having finally watched the program Kevin doesn't seem to bad at welding either... I'm glad that someone knows someone who knows him says that he's and alright bloke, so many bods who do interesting things who you'd like to have a chat with turn out to be arses

Can you give any indication of how much a 1x15 in lightweight ply would weigh and can you do custom cuts? I'm wondering how well a handle in the top of the box rather than one in each side would work, do you think that the balance would be completely out or it would just be awkward to carry?

Dave Mustaine is on the road, going to Silentbob

Ta chaps. I wasn't sure it would work, and now I know it doesn't

This is probably going to be a stupid question on an epic scale, but if I get a 1/4" to Speakon cable, can I drive a cab using the line out from my combo?

IKEA Gorm seems to the DIY pedal board of choice. For an alternative see my thread in the Build Guide (Shameless plug!! ) It's cheap, most of the parts came from a skip at work

Thank you all for your replies, I'm going to look into the ACS ones, especially as they seem to be available on most high streets. What decibel reduction is a sensible number? I want to get some that will suit my needs as a player and also standing in front of Lemmy's PA

IMHO, and this is only my opinion, my familes health and my health come before anything, so if you're being canned for having a baby (congrats ) or for family members having medical emergencies then your band mates need to be a little more human

What earplugs do people use when you go and see a band? I was at DragonForce last night and wore normal disposable foam bungs, am I missing something from the sound by using these and should I look at filter types or the properly in ear moulded things? Incidentally, the band were just OK, which is a shame as I like their albums. There were both bass and keys on stage because I saw them, but only heard the keys on a couple of intros and poor old Frederic Leclerq could have stayed at home for all the input I heard from him. The mix was all bass drum and widdly guitar, which is kind of their thing, but I'd like to hear some power chords, even the vocals were patchy at times. Enough of slating the band, who on their day I'm sure are great, but last night wasn't it.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1349175465' post='1822691'] Ah but it's not JUST compression on the TC, you want to be confused? Google Multipressor [/quote] I wish I hadn't done that now, my brain hurts! Cheers for the link

I don't think 51m0n was particularly charitable about the compression on your TC Can you post the link to that flightcase thread please? At £40 for the small one I doubt I could make one cheaper...

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1349111510' post='1821994'] did you get the book? I left it on the For Sale table with your user-name on it. [/quote] I did, thank you. I tried to find you, but no-one I asked knew where you were... Lots of "In that room I think..."

I'd like to add my bit and say what a fun time I had on Saturday, epsecially the jam space and Pauls effort on the electric skins. Sibob's talk was a highlight, especially his dancing 51m0n and compressors was informative and I *think* I can do it now, or at least, get a more sensible use out of it. Maybe next time I'll pluck up more courage to talk to more people and maybe ask if I can try some rigs or basses As an addtion, why the M25 was broken on Saturday...

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' timestamp='1327438325' post='1511300'] You're right in thinking Steve uses the SPB-1's. I have the Steve Harris Fender P Bass and I've strung it up with D'Addario flats (50-105) as I didn't like the Rotosound SH77 strings. I've 95% nailed his tone now too Your bass is looking really really cool now but please sand that headstock down and get it looking fresh [/quote] Sorry for the thread hijack, but according to the SD website, Steve uses the Quarter Pounders. I don't know which is right though, the signature model I would suspect, but I've no way of proving either, I'm going to get some of the right ones once I've cleared the confusion in my head

Update - If anyone is thinking of using magnets and chain links to mount pedals, don't. It's not working at all. They stay put, but as soon as you operate the pedal it moves a little. The method may work if you use a decent bit of steel for the cross plates, but I'm using 1U rack parts that were being disposed of from work so they're not exactly quality metal. However, they are U shaped underneath, so my current thought is to turn them over, insert a length of timber in the exposed channel and screw the pedals to that. Then when the insert gets really tatty from board movements/refreshes I can replace it I also spun the top plate around so that the PSU is facing the other way, it's too close to the brush strip so it needs moving as well. Apart from that, and the other previously mentioned issues, it's perfect! It'll get there in the end Told you I was making it up as I went along!
