The Shergold I had had the "sticker under Varnish" logo as standard, I think it is just slightly later, after the old Hayman stock had got used up, so not exactly inauthentic, just not exactly period-correct for that particular bass

Note you have a 24 fret neck, I don't think a lot of fender necks are.

I just had this on a jazz style pickup I'd been asked to fix. Where the hook-up wire meets the (VERY thin) bobbin wire, there was the tiniest bit of corrosion, and when I touched it it fell off. I think this is probably the most likely place for any pickup wire to fail. Even though the bobbin wire is so thin it is still reasonably strong in tension.

I think in the drummer example it is exaggerated slightly so you can hear it rather than just feel it

Landlords used to have to submit setlists to PRS in case of cover infringement, is this no longer the case? I know the Exeter Arms in Oxford fell foul of this a few years ago

Well, I hope they're sharper than they were at the weekend, they were really quite poor, and I am a fan of NWR

Is that an upward facing mid or a built in ashtray?

How about a vertical oriented isobaric 8x 15, 4 speakers high but with the rear speakers wired in antiphase and facing rearward. Would that work?

Did anyone else on here go? I'd be interested to see what others thought. I know this topic was covered when they did the Hootenanny this year, but having watched that back, this time seemed to me to be even looser in playing terms. It wasn't just Wilko either, Norman was way behind the beat for a lot of it and the drummer was rushing many of his fills. I would have expected a three piece that has been playing together for some considerable time to be pin sharp, but they really weren't. Was it just a bad night?

I think you've got it right, the output would be 300W into 4 ohms, I.e. 2 8ohm speakers in parallel. Your speaker should survive!

How about a tall, thin cab with upward facing sealed driver and multiple flared small ports acting like a line array?

You're making it up as you go along

So, in use, what is the P-Audio's top end like?

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1428953921' post='2746423'] I'd offer up a Berg AE112 and CN112.. really like them Aguilar SL is a great cab but I've tried all the above and I've just ordered 2 TKS S112's [/quote] Out of interest, was price the deciding factor in the end?

Yes, just look at how stretched the Marshall logos look. It isn't JUST your pie eating habits to blame

I had a nice old boy compliment me on my playing, and he added "do you listen to Percy Jones, as I could hear some influence in your playing?". I was really chuffed and thanked him profusely! I did listen to a fair bit of Brand X back in the day...

Great news! Flares are in fashion again!

Would one of those port bunger-uppers that Trace used to supply work with one of these cabs? There must be a few of them around as you never see them being used in Trace cabs...

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1428062487' post='2737630'] In the first picture it looks like the last wrap of the G string is at the top of the pile when it should be at the bottom like the other two? But maybe I'm seeing things wrong. [/quote] Is that really important when you have a string retainer?

This is pretty much what I did, got a really beaten-up Squier tele to practice fretwork on. Some frets were lifting, a lot of the ends were protruding, ideal really. I made a straight edge from a piece of angled aluminium and used double sided tape to stick 1000 grade emery to it so I could really go at it without taking too much meat off the frets. Black marker on the tops of frets to show up the low spots. I also got a crowning tool. The tele came out really nice and gave me confidence to do some work for mates on theirs. Next time I do one, I may use 400 grade then 1000 to speed things up a bit. I say give it a go!!

I think one thing that has been overlooked is that the singer has a decent voice, and that is the thing that comes across to people who hear them on the radio or don't register or care that it's just two guys making all that sound.

Too late to suggest a modular 2x15 and 4x15 configuration for when you don't need as much cone acreage....
