[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1401988387' post='2468994']Agreed about the socks, planer just beat me to it.[/quote]I'm sure I've got some like that. If he sorted out the big pile of stuff in the kitchen he'd probably have space to keep it.... and the combo.

Nice socks.

I had a Marlin Slammer. It was....well, you know - less than perfect. A lot less.

That is a thing of great beauty. Very very cool mate. Happy NBD!

I'd be happy to review it bud but..... well, you know.

I'm thinking you'll need a wider neck. Y'know, to get all the goats on there side-by-side. And then they'll only fight... sorry

I'll file that away under 'useful excuses when stuff gets trashed' - thanks

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1400406601' post='2453476']The other two bands were excellent as well - I heartily recommend checking out Bouquet of Dead Crows ([url="http://bouquetofdeadcrows.bandcamp.com/"]http://bouquetofdead...s.bandcamp.com/[/url]) and Radar ([url="http://amazingtunes.com/radar1/"]http://amazingtunes.com/radar1/[/url]) [/quote] They are mate - though that pic on BoDC's bandcamp page is very disturbing! Good noises from both bands.

Frighteningly addictive - you got that bit right! And tons of knowledgeable & helpful members here will sort you I daresay. Welcome to the site bud

Hi mate, you sound like me. I'm trying hard too, but the (lovely) wife and (awesome) children do magic the time away, and I find myself practising at midnight-gone, when they are all tucked up in their beds. Welcome to the site, it's nice here.

Looks like you struck gold there bud, I thought my Yamaha was cheap! I haven't had mine set up yet, but it's on the cards. The places I have looked at so far are asking £50 - £70.

Just about! There is padding all the way up, but it's fairly thin. The outer fabric is pretty sturdy-looking, mine have side handles, rucksack straps and two pockets on the front. These are they, though I didn't get mine from this seller. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=121333689045&alt=web

I bought a couple of those cheapy Ritter ones recently and, for the money, they're ok. I paid about £12 each from an eBay oik.

Yep, iron 'flex' is about as flexible as you're gonna get for mains cable. Loads of replacement iron cables available on eBay, some with mains plugs fitted. I searched 'iron cable' and found lots. You may have to put your own kettle plug on though, but that's easy enough.

You sound happy now mate, that's the main thing. Glad it was straightforward

Hi mate I've done this a few times. It's a bit of ball-ache sometimes, but it's do-able. I normally have to 'adapt' a couple of boxes, or more, to make something big enough. Use lots of packing tape to tie the parts of your box together, then what I do is go round and round the box with the tape, round the sides in each direction and making sure I cover all the joins in my box pieces. Make sure whatever you're packing can't move about inside the box, as stuff can migrate to the edges otherwise and get damaged that way. This way I can make a box the right size and shape for just about anything. Biggest thing I shipped making my own box was a Peavey 1516 cab, she was 48 kilos! I've sent valve amps and all sorts, if you're careful it will arrive in one piece.

'I don't have to knit my breakfast anymore' - classic. I thought it a fine review, well-written and with a decent amount of swearing. Well done review-fella. P.S. I'm not a CP hater, they're a bit 'meh', but each to their own. I thought it was just funny. He must have REALLY hated it!

Love a bit of Sheryl. She has got a hell of a voice. That's a nice vid.

Y'know I looked at that and thought, 'that looks like locking wire to me'... The biggest difference, apart from the fact that it won't melt, is the solder will be bendy and break easily, and locking wire is as stiff as a board and razor sharp on the end.

Very nice bud - is there a footswitch option for the overdrive? Bass is a beaut too very cool.

I couldn't do that to a classic, genuine 40 year old instrument (if that's what it is...) But a bit of me quite likes it.

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1398955016' post='2439393'] Well at least it livened up my dead NBD thread [/quote]I'm guessing you've got a new bass then?

I don't have a Fender either - should I be worried?
