There's a fella over in the States,Jeff Rath, converts Rics into 5 strings,you could maybe ask him. When he started posting about them on the RIC forum John Hall took it badly :-) Jeff's email is on his page. http://www.3dentourage.com/425/jeffbass.htm

Good for you If the wee Squier fits your needs then it's the perfect choice.

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1506369086' post='3378321'] That one on the left is like the one I will hopefully get next week.............is that the Sarzo model? Not a Cirrus or RSB Koa? [/quote]Aye. One on left is Sarzo sig.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1506334531' post='3377937'] All those Peaveys are giving me Peavey GAS. D'oh!! [/quote] Perhaps I should do a Peavey Porn post

[quote name='Bolo' timestamp='1506333659' post='3377921'] Is his surname Dog, Donkey or Mongoose? Dolphin perhaps? [/quote] No he's Blair,same as me :-) [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1506334430' post='3377933'] OK so maybe a silly question Davie, but have you got one of the Rudy Sarzo signatures from the late 80's / early 90's? I remember drooling over those reading guitarist mag in the back of my maths class. [/quote] Aye Lewis. Have the later Koa RSB too (RSB stands for Rudy Sarzo Bass). One of these days I'll find a Sarzo Cirrus. [attachment=254333:Sarzo-Resolite-TL-5.gif][attachment=254334:RSB-bass.gif]

Calling a cat Peavey would be silly,besides he only answers to Frog or his middle name Monkey.

Some folks on here may be aware of my fairly moderate liking for Peavey basses. OK that's bollocks. I'm nuts about Peaveys This week saw me reach the half century. Official colour I believe was Peacock Blue,looks more turquoise in the flesh.The Cirrus was released in 96 but this flawless example must be from around 2000 onwards. Weighing 9lb it's a lovely bit of 35" scale thru neck bass. [attachment=254211:Cirri 2.jpg] The fancy colour fits in well with it's brethern. [attachment=254210:Cirri.jpg] Frog took this in his stride, another arrival is hardly anything new to him. Going on 16 he's much more interested in retaining his hunter/killer skills by catching the red dot,failing that he likes batting 9v batteries about the hoose. [attachment=254212:Frog 2.jpg]

Sloppy Seconds. The First 7 Inches,and then some !!

Wanted to wrestle bears like the fella Andy up in Callendar, Some boy called Adams was using the Grizzly moniker so I went for the big bears instead. Things got kinda silly with my ex,she's called Honey

I'll follow the herd and buy another one. OK at £2 better make that 2

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1505525174' post='3372627'] Doesn't matter why they were there, the 40k were there and they paid dearly. Nothing is cool anymore. I've been told,"No,"it's you that isn't cool anymore. Your generation had they're time.Your all old now, and it's long over due that you should just get out of the way." It's not a bad point. Blue [/quote]When the topic is overrated bands the reason folks attend does matter.Very few of the audience paying big bucks will leave saying it was a poor gig.Nope it'll be " They were amazing," "so much energy" & "best show I've ever saw" Which leads to the question. If a bunch of near 70 year olds is the best band you've saw, what other bands have you seen ? I don't mind the "You're old and past it" thing from young folks. It's true

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1505493240' post='3372391'] How many 70 year olds can fill 40 thousand seats? The Stones & Paul McCartney. Blue [/quote] A large percentage of those 40K are there just so they can say they went. When folks visit the Louvre,plenty gush about the Mona Lisa. Great painting for a postage stamp. Therein lies the hype

Cracking result on the HB fretless.

Definitely no DI on the Pandora. Great wee box though I use mine when trying out basses.

Tom was having a clear out of flats. Dead easy fella to deal with. Cheers Tom

Not much of a manual ped but here it is anyway :-) https://www.dropbox.com/s/m8zq5ubjeadzxt1/Bass%20Expander.pdf?dl=0

Lw OT but is Chicago Meatpackers still on the corner of Shaftsbury Ave and Charing Cross Rd ? Opposite was a huge banner proclaiming " Cheapest Chinese Food in West End". Think Marquee was 2 doors up. It's probably long gone,like my youth

Thomann have confirmed the phantom power doesn't work on these. Sales had been changed to request only,imagine buyers will get an email explaining the issue to save the returns hassle. I'm keeping the pedal

Heard back from a few other owners. Nobody's unit works via phantom power !! The pedal now sells "by request only" until the factory sorts this out. The £20 refund buys plenty of batteries so I'm not complaining too much

Try heating them up,maybe with hot water, and sticking them in a press. Under a pile of heavy books would do as well. Some of the Peavey scratchplates are prone to warping and a mate recommended leaving them out in the sun,must have forgot I live in Scotland

Bought a wee caline EQ from Chris. Dead easy fella to do business with. Got a tracking number from him yesterday and the pedal appeared today Can't see how that could get any better. Hope to have further dealings with Chris.

Looking forward to V3.0.

@funkydoug Aye it's good wee unit but the phantom power doesn't work on mine and Thomann aren't covering themselves in glory about fixing it. I've still not pushed the Gain much but the find the blend really handy. Like anything it works different with different basses. SC P-bass with flats was easy to sound great, active 5 string with roundwounds I'm still trying to get there. I've spotted it sold under a couple of different names. Modtone is one, Eleca is the other. The Modtone has a video review up already.

Cheers pete. The spec says it needs 40mA max to power it, the recommended power supply is rated 500mA. I'm trying to find specs for the Hartke Bass Attack as it works prefectly with both mixers via phantom power. I'm more confused than normal
