Glad to see you haven't lopped an arm off with that router yet. I only used it once and it scared the pants off me. I reckon you're going great guns. keep it up. Measure 4 times and cut 3.

I should have said ' shape up ' I've lost the ability to type the English language

Oooh - outsider !!! Burn the witch

That's about as diplomatic as you can be. If they don't up shape after that, have it away on your Nikes

I confess that i was actually born in Barking hospital, but the paradise that is Dagenham was where my parents lived at the time. I worked in Hornchurch in my early days of working, and Romford. And then started the outward trajectory that you speak of. I got a lot further than you, as you can see So i win

Tiny That school is long gone. I think it closed about 2 years after i left as a secondary modern and re-opened as a Catholic school Where's your stomping ground in Costa Del Essex, H ?

Indeed H, they were. I also did my secondary schooling at South Ockendon

Can you guys or gals give me some info on which model TE heads have the dual band compressor fitted ? In fact, i 'm thinking of combos more than stand alone heads, as i'm contemplating seeing if i can find a TE amp / Pre pulled from a combo. I'm also hoping that that any head ( stand alone or pulled from a combo ) will fit a standard 19" , but shallow rack case. I'm sure the 2 piece vintage combo amps would be ok in a shallow rack, as i've dismantled my own GP11 Mk V and seen that the pre and amp, although separate, dont really take up much room front to back when squeezed together

My old man worked at the Dagenham plant pretty much all of his life, ( wasn't that the biggest factory in Europe at the time ? ) till we moved near to Purfleet, then he transferred to what was then the AVO plant at Ockendon - Advanced Vehicle Operations, where i think all the old Escort Mexicos were fettled

Was it ? Jeeez , i need to go to Specsavers. I thought it was a TE footswitch. Still, the photo was tiny, in my defence

It weighs a ton, though

I welcome all forum nerds

I have no experience of Peavey footswitches, so i cannot say yay or nay

We live and learn

I have the same footswitch and it works with my earlier GP11 Mk V

Ritter ?

That is one beautiful beast of a cab Kevsy

Hi Smudge - as an ex Essex brat, ( moved decades ago ) whereabouts in Essex are you from ? I was fortunate to be from picturesque Dagenham

You're only 0.8 mm away from your ideal string height, according to your 1st post. I suppose you could sand down the neck at the area that fits in the neck pocket

Fascinating Beck was on my radar in the Truth and Beck-Ola days but that didnt hit the spot for me. Then Blow By Blow came out. Game changer. Bought it and still have it.

I'm with you - techincally wonderful, but not my mug of Urlong
