Please try. You must have some absolute zingers  

Just a bit...have to consider which ones I might get sued for reporting....I'll draw up a shortlist...

Not a scintillating anecdote I admit. However it got me thinking, those of you who do a lot of stand-in work must have some tales. Why not share them here?

 

28 years worth....jeepers, I wouldn't know where to start!

Thanks for posting that, dude! Nice one!

Bought a Source Audio Gemini Chorus pedal from Emmett on Monday, posted Tuesday, arrived on Wednesday. A very quick and easy transaction. Well packaged and well looked after. Many thanks.

PM-ed

This might be helpful. If you've got any questions, let me know.

Very sad news from @jaydee_guitars this morning on the passing of John Diggins. Along with Pete and Ian from Wal Bass and Rob at @statusgraphite, John spearheaded the demand for bass exotica emanating from the UK throughout the Eighties and right up to the present day. He will be much missed but his legacy will live on.

RIP John.

RS components do/did one that was suitable (you just have to trim the length a little).  Shape wise they were bang on.

 

The part/number when I last ordered some for a Mark V a few years ago was:

 

Toggle Switch Cap, White

Stock no.:125-3514

 

I’ve just put that number into their site and it’s no longer recognising that stock number.  It may be worth contacting them to ask what the new part code is. 🤔

Cheers dude! Nice one....

Looking for EQ white replacement caps for a MKV 1110 combo. BAS in the US doesn't have these parts sadly and my Google searching is not producing the goods. Does anyone have any leads/pointers/contacts? Cheers in advance!

Perfectly true. I wonder if the Red Special will still be in the May family 32 years after Sir Brian has passed?

Apparently, it's going with him when he passes.

Who?!

Neil plays for a number of artists but most well known for being the bassist with Queen +Adam Lambert.

It was this young whipper-snapper... Mr Neil Fairclough!

Howdy folks! Got a surprise guest (of some repute!) joining in on the Live Chat on my YouTube channel tonight, from 8pm (UK time).

I won't post the link (in case of 'spam' accusations) but if you head over to my YouTube Channel (Brooksy's Bass Corner) and look for Live Chat 52, you will find us there.

Hope to see you there later.

So my HB Marquess bass has arrived... here's the unboxing...

A bargain, but not in the 25% off sale (no 5-strings are).

Looks like the Marquess 5-stringers have been discontinued....

Marquess 4 purchased. Outstanding bass...my last bass review for Bass Player that didn't get published. Possibly, one of the most outstanding basses for the price I have ever played!

Already got one, mate... with those lovely twinkly, lighty-up things too.

I'm not sure of how to price this?

 

Perfect condition, Dingwall gigbag.

 

Nice to see two of my review front covers on your wall... you have great taste, sir!

This might help....

Understood... that accounts for it then! 3 sets is pretty rough but it is what it is!

New record too... just over 5 hours and 19 mins! Crazy... but a lot of fun. See you next week!

Procell 550mAh. The above 1300mAh. Gives you some more LED juice.

 

 

Fabulous, cheers Russ! Will order some pronto!

Strings, who mentioned strings, luxury, all I had was a fret 😀

I just had the slot for the fret to go into.....

I had it 11 years ago as I turned 40, all the aches and pains hit me like a brick wall. Did physio for the tennis elbow for 3 months, then had a course of accupuncture which solved it outright on the 4th session... like a key in a lock, and everything went back to how it had been before and it has never flared up again since. Now my right knee... that's a different thing entirely and currently trying to get to the bottom of the issue there....

No worries Martin. By the way, the pedal you requested is now in the effects section of the Affiliate store on Thomann. Go via the Effect Affiliate link in the description box on last night's Live Chat and you should see it there.
