I can imagine it will not be to everyone's taste but I like it a lot. [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/DB_zpswcwt3fap.jpeg.html"][/url]

I have a bitsa Goofellow neck/Shuker Body which much as I like it it just does not get used so I will probably bring that and offer it for sale if anyone fancies it.

Thanks everyone for all the info, both given and promised. The preamp is a Monique and the info for the latest mods (mine is very early) is not out there. I am sure that a decent tech could do it but Jule has the secret sauce.

Found it. Quite a scary walk through 6 years of rampant GAS.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1483825260' post='3210489'] And you're assuming they have the documents related to their buying it from the USA, assuming they were the original owner/importer. [/quote] It is wired up for UK voltage so am presuming it is a proper import. I have 50 pages of PMs to wade through to see if I can find who I bought it from. First world problems.

Sadness, the PM search function does not work

Ugh! This would mean remembering who I bought it from on here. Just as well I never clear out my PM box!

I have a preamp that I am thinking about sending back to the manufacturer to be brought up to present spec. He is in the USA. Am I going to get smacked about for import duties at both ends or is there a way around it seeing as I own it and have paid full whack for it? I am not importing it. TIA.

Low Achiever.

Anyone bringing anything to sell? Should I bring pocket money?

Some of us live REALLY far away from any decent set up bods. Would anyone know of a good local set up bod who would come in and charge individuals by the hour to do setups? We could book basses in beforehand.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1483367189' post='3206533'] From 1965 I've only had four amps, and while I've built hundreds of speaker cabs of all types I've only used perhaps eight. [/quote] I am genuinely interested to know what they are.

Screwfix were great on size but as you say, useless on colour. I took what they had so that I could get on and finish the job over the holidays. As usual life got in the way and I am no further forward. My foam is basically aluminium brief case kind of foam. That will be a no then. I will find some proper stuff. Thanks - as usual.

Thanks Pete. I have dropped you a pm.

Been there. Done that. I presume they are paying you extra for running this rig. You can get a new band. You can get a new guitarist. You cannot get new ears. It is that simple.
