Bought his Stereo Electric Mistress after many months of looking, thanks!

Sold me an much loved/used Aphex pedal for a bargain price, definitely a keeper (the pedal i mean). Thanks again!

Sold him my Bogdan Helter Skelter, again top blokeness!

Bought a Small Stone and all is well, although i'm selling it cos i've got an Electric Mistress! It was lovely though!

Got a nice USB audio interface for a very good price, a true gent too!

I've just received the Hartke strings today, 2 sets for £20 delivered. The seller sent me some free sweets too!

The DODs are good for the money (around £25 second hand). They can be excellent in the highs but very indistinct in the lows. Basically i liked mine and could get a few cool sounds out of it, but it sounded nothing like Chilis records which was what i bought it for! Another thing to watch out for if volume drop when the effect is on. This rendered it nearly unusable on my Warwick but was ok on a Musicman and a Squire I found the two envelope settings on the Boss SYB-3 Synth pedal better than the Dod, much smoother and clearer.

My missus bought a similar trolley for carting all her shopping about when she injured her shoulder, it had 3 wheels on each side for going up stairs and kerbs , it was ace! Hers also had a tartan cover for the authentic mad-old-woman look Would these do?

Always been able to get through the drummers noise, something that wasn't always possible with my old stack! We have a very loud drummer too, with one of those old Premier kits that were designed before most bands miced up the kit

I use a LMII head and a Schroeder 1212r cab. Can carry the head in a bag and my bass and cab in either hand! It's loud enough for every gig i've done with it including some big halls and i prefer it to a combo EDIT: This cab looks like a very good option if you're in the market [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=42827"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=42827[/url]

I have had quite a few jazzes and i liked them all! I don't get on with Ps though... Try a few Squiers, from the Standards up to the VM et al. I've got a Standard and it's the nuts! I can get four or five really good, different sounds out of it. Really good slap sound too. Try rolling a little off the bridge pickup with the tone just nudging 30%, that's my usual fingerstyle setting for 80% of our stuff. Dunno what everyone else is on about RE not getting classic Jazz sounds, all mine have done the job apart from my Warmoth which is a totally different beasty

They're pretty good (better than rotos!), i'd gig them if i was short on cash. I had a set on my Squier for a bit and while they were never overly bright to begin with they didn't deteriorate as quickly as some other strings i've used.

I use a Hartke A70 for my bedroom amp and it rules. Kicks out loads of bass for it's size, plus i've done a few small gigs with it. If i need to go any louder than CD-playalong volume (trying out pedals etc.) then i can just crank it up. I have it between 1 and 3 usually. The 12" speaker will handle a 5er too. I think they did 25w - 100w versions of these, all cheap second hand too

Started using my M80 as it's got an eq switch/boost, overdrive and a DI out all in one pedal (is that cheating?). I use this with a bit of chorus now and again provided by a Stereo Electric Mistress (i don't use the Flanger on it). So does that count as 4? Before that i had a Pickle Pie with Mid switch, a custom clean boost and various overdrives (EBS and Gremlin, got the Bogdan Helter Skelter now). I leave these at home now for pure simplicity I'm trying to justify using the Danelectro Black Liquorice but there's not much call for uber fuzzed out mayhem in a party covers band..... I'll find some though!!!

"Come on, come over" and "I can dig it baby" are good ones

I Want You Back (the song, that's not a personal statement!) Also Walkabout by the Chilis

I used my Schroeder 1212r with a stand to try out the "ear level" thing, didn't like it (preferred the floor rumble in the end!) so never used it again. Another £40 down the drain! I'd like to stack another 2x12 on top of it though......

My Corvette developed a fault where it would become quiet and distorted. It was the push/pull pot failing, eventually got the part replaced (from the awesome and extremely pleasant staff at Promenade Music in Morecambe). Yours sounds like a pot issue, unless the repair guy had damaged a circuit board whilst tinkering around inside it.
