Bought my Spector from Soundcontrol in Southampton, was told on the monday that it would be setup how I wanted. Just before leaving for the 2 hour drive on the Saturday morning I got a call to say that they'd tried to get the strings I wanted in but the bridge and the nut were too small I said that's why I asked you to set it up for me! Went and got it anyway, guy who served me didn't seem bothered that I was spending a grand, and it didn't matter that they hadn't set it up for me, I can file down the bridge myself and if I chip the gold plating it's no problem because after all it's 'just a bass' (his actual words) That day I made a resolution to never give Soundcontrol any of my money ever again.

I've got an Art Levelar betwixt bass and amp which helps with getting the input level sorted

I'm getting and Landmark 300, v.nice amps and easy to get a good sound out of it! Best thing with the footswitch is that you can run both channels at the same time

Cheers Andy will get the Yellow Pages out later!

I have a screw that is too short, is it possible to calculate the thread pitch so I can get a longer one that fits in the same hole? Is there anything else that I need to work out? Thanks Gareth

Posted this on Basstalk but I have no shame so here it is again: [url="http://www.myspace.com/eighthnerveuk"]www.myspace.com/eighthnerveuk[/url] the 4 tracks that make up our EP, produced by Dave Chang Thanks!

I've been gigging with EighthNerve for 4 years now and we've played some of the worst gigs in the world! From my experience the main problem is promoters who don't promote, they book the venue and the bands and then give you that "for every person over 20 who says they're here to see you we'll give you 50p" rip off talk. We've got a good following in our home town but they don't travel to see us, so whenever we play out of town it's usually to the other bands and their girlfriends. We put on our own shows and do gig swaps but it's amazing how many bands play at our nights then we don't hear from them again. It's really starting to grate and I'm beginning to dread driving anywhere over a couple of hours away (hence my appeal for help for our Cardiff Barfly gig on Monday!).

Spector Euro LX-35 (4 string) Nothing else needed.

Hello all, my band EighthNerve ([url="http://www.myspace.com/eighthnerveuk"]www.myspace.com/eighthnerveuk[/url]) are supporting Malefice (who are one of the support bands for the Sikth tour) at the Cardiff Barfly on the coming Bank Holiday Monday. We're from the South East, and are playing quite a lot round here at the mo so it's unlikely that anyone is gonna travel that far to see us. So basically this is just a quick beg to say if you like your metal and are near/in/visiting Cardiff check us out and see if you can make it down to the gig, £6 on the door or £4 with a flyer which you will be able to print from our myspace sooooooon, and I will love you forever (NOT the physical act of love btw). Cheers
