Dinner time yesterday I'm smoking a fag and deleting emails,it's kinda cold and the day's dragging something terrible Among the junk,one says "You're a Winner". " Aye right" says I an goes to bin it,then I spot it's from Wunjo. Didn't think they were in the habit of sending junk emails so I open it. Bloody hell !! Forgot I'd entered last weeks competition,now I've won the thing Even better was Wunjo don't hang around, 12.45pm was the email telling me my good fortune and asking my address. 3pm today it was delivered What can I say except Thanks Very Much

Mark had a G4M neck for sale last, as it had a harpoon like head (think Peavey) I was interested. Turned out he was expecting to hear from me Poor bugger took a helluva hit from Parcelforce but remained upbeat as usual. Neck arrived today, packing was top notch. Not much more I can say except those folk's comments above aren't lies Mark's a great fella and a true credit to BC.

I've an old Peavey Patriot with a dodgy neck. @alyctes suggested DGCF instead of BEAD for less tension,but no floppiness, and it worked a treat Must admit I do like the way it sounds.

Tom Waits just lead into NOFX. Now it's Catatonia. Don't you love random playlists

@tom1946 Got laid off this afternoon so PM me your address and I'll make a template for you tomorrow. You should have it by the weekend.

Thomann aren't stupid, the basic models like the PB-20 & JB-20 are perfectly acceptable basses. If they were crap there's the risk folk would just give up,that means no further business. By offering a nice bass for peanuts chances are the learner will stick with it and maybe buy their upgrade from Thomann. I much preferred the full scale PB-20 to the Squier Affinity P-bass.

93%. Stripey Mustang/Musicmaster type thing got me.

Thanks Donny but I reckon I've enough of them.

Sunday night I was at the Alice Cooper show in Glasgow. Missed The Tubes and most of The Mission. The bass player Chuck Garric had a busy night, Halo of Flies was epic performance. About an hour in I spotted a thin dark haired fella in shades behind the curtain and was certain I'd glimpsed a spangly bass. Had no idea Dennis Dunaway,Neal Smith and Michael Bruce were doing the Reunion segment outside the US. What was already a brilliant gig just got better.

@Phil_T I never use the buttons either. There's a marked increase in volume using the silver box Behringer instead of just plugging into the mixer. Since I mainly play a single coil P-bass with flats I appreciate the kick in volume,

@Sibob Naw. Too late I bought the silver Behringer for £15 s/h ages back. @Phil_T Were you using the - 20Db pad buttons ?

@Sibob If I'd known about the Orchid for £36 I'd have bought one :-)

Behringer Ultra DI 100. £30,built like a tank,no preamp just a DI box. Needs a battery unless there's phantom power involved. http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/DI-Boxes/DI100/p/P0062

Had the Kay EB100. Terrible thing !!

When the hell did Thomann sell them ?? I'm certain it's never been listed in the last 3-4 year.

[quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1509811961' post='3401826'] I think I sold it to someone in the west country, as if that matters. [/quote] This one came from Bodmin,Cornwall so there's a slim chance it was yours

Had a feeling these would be tied in with the Peavey/Jack Daniels stuff. Sure as fate they are. Look at the back of the packet on these acoustic strings. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jack-Daniels-Acoustic-Guitar-String-10S-Set-with-Free-Shipping/122748075675?hash=item1c945afe9b:g:rUsAAOSw53NY~mKT

Alice Cooper next Sunday.
