The 1212r is around 40lb i think, the head is a LMII so hardly anything. With that rig on it everything is pretty stable.

Aye mine never struggled, I just thought the single locking wheel on one side was such a design oversight. It means the weight isn't evenly distributed and one piece of metal takes the brunt of the pressure. I'd much rather have one on the other leg too, especially for the £40 they used to cost. Still, one of the better stands you can get i reckon.

Pretty much the same as this: http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk/music/typeproducts.asp?groupID=6196 The Giraffe stands are ok, not bad for small rigs. You can get them to sit level too so they can be used for seperate heads and cabs. If i were putting more weight than my current rig on it then i'd want something with the locking system at both sides though. Oh and what the bl00dy hell is that up there, a 4x10? Get it out, that's massive!

Saw this the other day and thought some of you might be interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GIGSKINZ-DG-BG-Bass-Guitar-Bag-/330616241315?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4cfa437ca3 This eBay seller has two of these left at £30 with £6 delivery, these were around £90 i think so it's a considerable saving. Thought this might be better off in this section but if mods think it's better off in the eBay bit then by all means move it.

Looks like these are gone then, cheers!

You'll have to take them all i'm afraid! Pm me your address if you still want them. Free postage though!

Very nice! Love the wood combination. I fitted one of these to my Warmoth to keep the battery secure: http://www.dayga.co.uk/Battery_Holders/9_Volt_Battery_Holder Careful where you click as they also sell a lot of PVC erm, clothing! It can be difficult to track those down as "9v battery clip" searches result in the clip connectors and "9v battery holder" searches result in the plastic battery boxes. I may have some knobs if you're interested? Obviously don't look for them on that site i linked to.....

I'd have had that for twenty squids, not a bad looking body. Would look ace with a black scratchplate. Would make a nice cheap little project i reckon.

Added another game i have going spare.

I really have a way of transporting 3 guitars and he's given me an amazing bass at a silly price... without me taking 2 cheap guitars off him too [/quote] How much then?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1318073330' post='1397817'] Lets just say I've just got on a train from paisley... [/quote] Good stuff! I reckon after flogging the guitars that T40 might end up owing you £50 - £60. Not bad!

Don't know but i want it!

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1317815640' post='1394832'] Ok, it could have been a DC. I remember Florin on the Warwick forum saying categorically that MEC do not do a passive (DC) P pickup. Then I showed him the photos from my old Fortress that had passive P/J pickups! Seemingly MEC don't sell DC P pups now, but they certainly have made them in the past. In fact I have put one in my Squier CV P, and very happy I am with it. [/quote] That's weird, didn't all the Fortress One 4s come with a P/J and either passive or 2band circuitry? He should know that!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1317753992' post='1394219'] I think the people dissing her need to know she is a successful song writer in her own right so even if she disappears as an act she will be still be writing and working in the business maybe for many years. Has anyone seen her as herself without the harsh persona and makeup on ? [/quote] A good point, anybody here remember Cathy Dennis? I bet you don't but she's written a few number 1s for huge international pop acts since her brief career fizzled out. Jessie J is lovely in interviews too, i don't particularly care about her pop career as i don't really like the songs but she has a very good voice and the right attitude for the job, which is more than you can say for a lot of flash in the pan acts peddling kids' music.

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1317641712' post='1392537'] Didn't Krist play an Ibanez / "Antoria" "Black Eagle" much more than any of the gibsons? [/quote] I always thought his main stage and studio bass was a Ripper? He did chop and change a bit but the Ripper was pretty constant. I really like the look of the RD sig, just a bit of an odd choice. Does anybody know whether it's actually Krist's spec or are Gibson just using his name to cash in? Him speccing it would explain the odd choices regarding shape and pickups.

Try pinching the clamp bit so it's tighter on the bass, see if that improves things. The one i have doesn't grip the bass tightly enough and doesn't pick up the vibrations as a result. If that helps then you could glue a rubber pad onto the clamp so it grips better.

Why has nobody wished BRX bappy birthday yet? Happy birthday! EDIT: Ah, too late!

I guess for me it depends on what you mean by "making it". If that means progressing with a band playing music you love, gradually gaining a big following and subsequently playing much bigger venues then i think that's ace, the age thing doesn't come into it at all. If by "making it" you mean the whole ego trip and reliving the glory days of rock and roll excess then maybe not so much. I think it looks pretty stupid when younger bands try and put that image across, worse when their dads are doing it.
