I so want that gate at the bottom of my drive !

Now then !, and How-do ? just over the hill from you, (don't mention the sheep thread) I did, but I think I go away with it ....

Now then ! How-do.

Ola !, Spanish stroll .....

Mmm, there's one for sale on this forum, a semi-wotsit, tried the solid body with passive pup and sold it on, prefer active electrics and use a Landing but for what i want it for the Chowny might do nicely, darned if i know.

Thanks guys

Hi, what's the chances of an opinion on a short scale Gretsch semi acoustic , and even better if you know of a better one, £700 max, that you would recommend, any thoughts on the Chowney gear. Just want something I don't always have to plug in. Ta.!

So we know they're 3", but please measure from the bottom of the cab to the floor as the castored bit could be different to the original, best to send you four the same, and , the fixing dims might be different, are they a threaded bolt into a captive nut or just woods crews ?

I don't know where you could get an original from, but we have shed loads at work so if you go non-original, maybe I could sort you summat for the price of postage. 🐾

Wow !, yes, no horns, just dad on tenor sax !, did you see him play ?, lol, wish I had half his talent .....

Oh you wonderful people, I have the original vynil LP, and recently bought a brand new cd for four quid to play in the car. I can play 25or6to4, but only know half of does anyone know what time etc, my dad's dance band did a version of this one altered so you could swizzle around the floor to it, I'm guessing waltz, my dad said the double bass player was always better "if he stopped using that bloody bow"

Hah ! Jeff Lewis has done work for Ashdown in the past, he tells me the sub-harmonic chip in the Ashdown pre-amp was originally built for car radio's, like a bass boost, he should know.

Well, that's that then, when I can see the door of the shed instead of snow I might get my spare bass cab out and have a go at that. Don't hold your breath guys !

Not asbestos, ashdown have the base covered in self-adhesive foil, could swap to asbestos though if you know something about these amps that i don't !!!!!

Thanks guys, i'm still missing some brass screws to finish but i can put the chassis back in and put it back into use, oh, and remind myself that it weighs over five stone. I have a pair of OBC115 cabs, one mint, one battered sat in the shed, gonna sort the shed one. why is everything so heavy ? i'll post a picture of it complete soon.

So, Just because I can, thought I'd "improve " the head amp cabinet of my BTA300 ashdown, spurred into action by the aquisition of MatampGt1Mk1amp'n'cab that is wine coloured with gold faceplate and corners. Besides many hours, this stands me at ninety quid so far, and I think will be great in the lounge on its Orange cab, yes, that's next after this !

Hi, excellent stuff, my dad used to run a dance band, wish I'd managed to play with him before he retired and emigrated, keep it up !
