Hahaha! Don't you hate it when that happens?! Thanks anyway, Jack. Not heard much about GSS cabinets but they look interesting. Or would if, y'know.......

She is wise beyond her years.

I once bough a k-line guitar 'closet classic'. Not reliced, just 'dulled'. It plays beautifully and sounds awesome but i hate the feel of the dulled, rusted hardware. Someone deliberately ruined a perfectly good guitar. In fact, now i think about it, i might strip it down and give it a respray and a new bridge and tuners. I can't make it any worse than it already is....

I've just pulled the trigger on a One10. I thought long and hard about the PJB extension cab but I've already had one and, light as it is, it's still twice the weight of the One10. Thanks for all the input, guys. Really useful 😁

It can only be a good thing in my view. A genuine patina of use is one thing. Taking a sander to a perfectly good bass almost smacks of sharp practice....

Give me a licorice torpedo and you can have me virtue too

OK. I'll come clean. I need to declare a commercial interest. Basically, I'm anybody's for a couple of jelly babies and a sherbet dib-dab.

I just met up with Paul to sell him my Dingwall ABZ 5/3. He drove a fair old distance to meet me and was kind enough to split the PayPal fees with me. We communicated quite a bit exploring trade options before agreeing the deal and Paul replied to every message promptly. Clearly, this is the same experience that everyone else has had when dealing with Paul and I can only echo what everyone else has said - Paul is a true gentleman, the perfect BCer and i would trust him absolutely in any future dealings. Thanks for such an easy sale, Paul, I hope you get years of pleasure from the Dingwall 😁 Dave

Thanks!

That Symphonic tour was awesome. I saw them in Brighton and you're right, he was immense. Two solo albums? I have FOOW and the one he did with Steve Hackett but i wasn't aware of a second solo album....

Ooh, tri-cky....

What a very good idea. I was lucky enough to see Yes quite a few times and CS, in his prime, was as superb as everyone has said. I saw them on the tour after he'd died - before the show started, as a tribute, they played 'Onward' over the PA while lighting a white Rickenbacker with a single spot. It was incredibly moving. Billy Sherwood did a good job in the circumstances but they were very, very big boots to fill.

I love that track.

I couldn't find any feedback for Ash M who's a new member on here (as opposed to the volumes of feedback for plain ol' Ash) so I thought I'd start one having just sold him a Fender Bassman 100T and Neo 410 cab. This was a super-easy transaction for me - less so for Ash M who drove all the way up from Stansted to collect the amp. Throughout, comms were good and payment (both deposit and balance) were prompt and in full. Add to that he's a thoroughly nice chap and I'd have no hesitation in dealing with him again and recommend him to the rest of the BC community. Thanks again, Ash - hope you had a good drive home to Kent 🙂 Enjoy the rig Dave

I’m too busy counting to get those stabs in the right place..... 😀

I sold a PJ Briefcase and the extension cab a few years ago and i agree, they were wonderful cabs. Must admit, I hadn't considered just the ext cab on its own.....

Turn it on again by Genesis. Timing is all over the place but, like Money, you don't notice till you try and tap your feet. We used to play it - or try to - and it defeated the drummer every time

+1 to this. Not tried them myself but I've heard someone playing them and it did sound very string bass-like. All the flats I've tried (la Bella, TI and chrome's) reduce finger noise and are pretty deep and full. Some are maybe a bit brighter than others but there's a 'family' sound to them all - which, to me, sounds like deeper, richer flats. Tape wounds sounded even more so - more like an upright. But that could have also been the player, the guitar, the amp and eq and the general vibe (light jazz). How much part the strings actually played i don't know - but it was clearly a sound the guy was aiming for and he'd chosen nylon tapewounds to help him get it

Super glue seems a bit high risk to me 😁 I think your original post said it. You've been favouring the wounded digit and that's caused excess/unusual pressure/posture on the rest. Plus, as mentioned, you've been playing flats for a bit.

Thanks Frank, that's really useful. I will talk to Alex but i wanted to get some objective, real world opinions as well. It seems like either will do the job quite nicely so getting feedback from someone who's actually used both cabs is really valuable. Thanks again! Dave

A bass cab from the sound of things 😁

Thanks Frank, that helps. How does the sound of two One10s compare to the Midget volume wise? About the same or is the SM still louder?

Thats grounds for claiming constructive dismissal, that is
