Rather weirdly, my ad-blocker stopped me posting any replies in any threads today. ( Firefox + Ad Blocker Ultimate ) Never done that before , no changes made by me. It just decided this all on it's own. I've been using ABU for years, but it never has hindered me on BC. Till today. I hit reply to a thread and the message box won't appear , but the ' add files ' box does. I checked ABU first and that was the problem. Soon as i disabled on here, the reply message box appreared as normal. Confused, Acacia Ave., Tonbridge Wells.

There is no right answer, as we're talking very personal choice here, natch, but if that wood is decent, i would sand it back and maybe just re-stain it in a different finish, perhaps darker, ( see my Manton pic ) seal it, oil and wax finish and that's that. No paint, unless the body wood is shoddy.

I'm also routing for ya !

CSL ( Charles Somerfield Ltd ) were also very good copies

It should be in ped's vault somewhere unless he's deleted it. It should only be hidden though, as that was the arrangement. I've never requested ped resurrect it since it was secreted, so it should still be somewhere in the secret files stash

Yes he is. Last visit was Jan 11th

There certainly is, and still maintain my original thread was probably the worst scenario dealing with a bass shop anywhere. I'm not sure back then why i asked ped to hide the thread. I'm tempted to ask him to resurrect the monstrous catalogue of BS he gave me over the course of a few months, so the uninitiated can have a good read of the bloke's nature.

That's the one 3b. Helluva head

No probs for me. They only appear when you open a page but within a nano second, i'm scrolling the thread anyway and they've gone, so i dont understand the issue.

I had one of the Peavey heads with white face panel and red word printing. Something 700 model ? I cant recall exactly. Oh.. maybe Firebass ??

This may not suit you, but i would find the same bass with intact logo somewhere on the web, and save it as a .jpg. Get a decal man to make you a waterslide Hohner decal copy, then you can do a proper job sanding the laquer off, re-lacquer a coat or 2, apply decal, then lacquer till the decal edges disappear PS there's a chance that acetone will disolve the ink that your current decal is printed with so dont use acetone

They're not Chinese cables. It's Kenable's own production line, so spec is per Kenable's requirement. They're just built by the Chinese labour.

Wonder if Aldi sell 'em ?

Never seen any in my local Lidl. If i want a sports bra, pocket welder, or XXL lederhosen, i'm in luck

Just received my Simo template and had a nice surprise. I've had Jon's templates before, but this one turned up with a beautiful engraving that Jon did off his own back. As can be seen, it was a template i needed for a Kent Armstrong Claymore soapbar, and this nice little touch from Jon was a sweet surprise. How he manages the prices of custom templates is a mystery. When we consider labour ( setting up cutting machine, ) materials, and packaging / postage, all in the price, these are a rare bargain. A big thanks to Jon

The 5 quid i won on the Thunderball last Saturday wont get me much. Can you lend me £995 ?

2-10 Hz An experiment with 25 subjects reported a subjective “feeling of body sway” when exposed to 2-10 Hz tones above 130 dB, with the effect most pronounced at 7 Hz. Vertical Nystagmus (involuntary movement of the eye) was also reported. Another test that exposed subjects to 5-10 Hz tones at 150 dB reported nostril vibration. One tester subjected ten normal hearing and ten deaf participants to a 6 Hz tone at 115 dB for 20 minutes and found changes in EEG patterns (described as ‘diminished wakefulness) in the hearing participants accompanied by changes in pulse and blood pressure. However these effects were not found in the deaf subjects. Other tests in the 5-10 Hz range found decreased respiration, depressed blood flow in the brain, and changes in pulse and blood pressure. Subjective complaints of testing in this frequency band included body vibrations, pressure in the ear, and an inability to concentrate. 10-20 Hz A test conducted on four participants found abdominal wall vibrations for a 10-20 Hz narrow band noise at 150-154 dB. Another test found chest and abdominal vibrations from 4-20 Hz at 132 dB and above. One study conducted by the Air Force found the resonant frequency of the eyeball to be 18 Hz. It has been suggested that sound pressures at sufficient levels at the resonant frequency of the eye can cause visual disturbances, and that locations that have sound emissions at this frequency can sometimes be mistaken for being ‘haunted’ for this reason. In another test, a 17 Hz tone was shown to cause anxiety in some people when it was used as an undertone in a concert performance against a control performance that did not have the undertone. As with the resonant frequency of the eyeball, it was speculated that locations with sound emissions at this frequency might cause some to feel they are ‘haunted.’

Of course , i have PM's 801 Listen Now CD - it's pretty awesome, as already posted here. Wonderful tracks and great musicians. I like prefer this album cover over the live cover, just a preference, natch Regarding Roxy, get under the headphones and listen to the spookyness of The Bogus Man. It's a treat. For Your Pleasure has been in my collection for many a decade.

Yup, natural maybe. Or just my typo

I never liked the Thumbs much till i saw this ... the Bleached Blonde NT Thumb What a gorgeous looking axe ... big money though, i believe

We'll find out tonight !

Late to the party but i went to Kenable for the same reason. My 2 x PA cab mains leads were stiff as a local councillor, and i needed 6 metres x 2. The Kenable cables that turned up were fabulous and cheaper than Lynx

TRied this but the room is so small that it overwhelms the input. Output from desk seems best.

Yes, but cant be ar*ed to buy yet another cable when we already have others that should work
