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! Mike

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

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. Mike

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

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!

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!

Fabulous, cheers Russ! Will order some pronto!

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.

Well done sir... 5 hours and 15 mins.... a record! Good to hear from you...same again next week?

You checking in tonight, @joe_geezer - 8pm? You're all more than welcome to come along and get involved!

The joys of twin strap button basses....think you might just have to use a cradle-based stand or a headstock hanging stand, my lord...

It certainly caught my eye yesterday.....

Enjoy, sir! Some nice stuff in there at the moment!

Cheers dude, you rocked!

Cheers Russ, will check it out.
