    Cheap Fat Beams.

    Hi-Beams are once again reduced on Amazon - I picked a set up for just under £20 if anyone is interested. No problems with QC either. 

    Just when I was thinking about new strings for the Rickenbacker!

    Just a thought, but perhaps Ric put them at an angle for a reason, such as they've found that the tone improves if the E string end is further back and the G string end is further forward? 

    Not sure if a few mm angle would make much difference, but the two examples on this thread seem to be wonky in the same way?

    And to be honest it would make sense, having the bassier response on the thinner strings, even out the sound a bit maybe.

    Certainly what I thought when I got this one.

    So the metaphors arrived at work today. Its bigger than I thought it would be (certainly bigger than the beloved sansamp) so it may not see any board time. I'll certainly give it a shot at home or recording though.

    It is. They seem to take massive umbrage at anybody daring to alter their instruments in any way, even removing the pickup cover. It's almost as if they deliberately fit the pickup askew to punish those that do :P

    Mines skewiff, I thought it was a feature like on a stratocaster 😂

    Laney nexus tube bass head and Laney nx810 cab

    Mate I have been trying to sell it for ten months 😐, like the head is in superb condition and the cab is in great condition 

    Yeah, people seem to be moving away from the big (proper) valve jobs and on to class D stuff. I've owned both and I think class D is a bit sterile. I currently use a 300w Traynor. 

    Best of luck with the sale anyway, hopefully somebody will pick this up soon.

    So the switch finally arrived today and its a perfect fit. Five minutes of installation (a small dab of glue holding it in place, not the insane amount of epoxy I had to cut away before) and the micro vr is good for another 6 years of daily service. Thanks all.

    This switch fell to bits out the front of my Ampeg micro vr the other day and I've been struggling to get my hands on another and I can't seem to repair this one. I've narrowed it down to being a Rong Feng rf-1003 but I can't find one with the red plastic and led. 

    Anybody know where I might find one in the UK? I'd rather not pay for the extortionate shipping from China if possible. Ampeg haven't replied to my emails.

    Thanks all.

    Your Strengths & Weaknesses

    Good: playing with the drummer, playing melodic lines, keeping time, well maintained and good quality gear, turn up to practice and gigs on time, pay my way, lift the gear, drive, good at writing riffs / song composition, good stage presence. 

    Bad: often play too many notes, difficulty singing, often play too loud - too large of a rig (I transport it so why not) little knowledge of theory, don't speak my mind, think I'm better than what I actually am, buy too many nice straps.
