  1. I'm sure someone like Wembley Loudspeakers be able to repair it for a lot less than £120. Worth giving them a shout.
  2. Or get the offending speaker mended by Wembley Loudspeakers. They can pretty much repair anything that can go wrong with a speaker. Might cost about the same as a replacement, but at least it will be the same as the other speaker

    Re playing sitting down, can't you play it classical guitar style, legs akimbo with the (bass) neck angled up a bit?
  4. Ooh, just seen a Fender Super Sonic in that met orange colour.. Rather nice!: http://www.fender.com/en-DE/series/pawn-shop/pawn-shop-super-sonic-rosewood-fingerboard-sunfire-orange-flake/
  5. I've done a couple without, just used a normal sanding block and they both worked fine. Unless you are actually changing the radius, I don't think it's really needed, more important to keep the board straight along the length, I reckon.
  6. 3 dodgy volume pots?!! That's really quite unlucky, or you were doing something to damage or overheat them in the process of changing them. Well done for fixing it though!
  7. It allows you to set slightly less relief on the treble side, if you want to.
  8. I'm so glad it worked out well! One does feel kind of responsible when one makes recommendations. i think it should be made more widely known that there is pretty much no speaker problem that they can't fix, recones, magnet re-centring, the lot.
  9. I think you will be just fine. Tubes are very robust electrically.
  10. Surely the metal ball still makes contact with the bridge though?
  11. I do know the East preamp have a very high output, could it be overloading the Nadys input?
  12. I like that a lot! I especially like the jazzy one in white that looks like a mint imperial though.
  13. For that money you could get one of those lovely Ritter guitars. I think the design is interesting, and the purple one looks like velour.
  14. Another thing to consider is, with a black covered bass, it might not have the prettiest wood underneath! I imagine they'd save that for the clear and sunburst ones. Could be a bit of a lottery.
  15. [url="http://www.mother-of-tone.com/lacquer.htm"]http://www.mother-of-tone.com/lacquer.htm[/url] This might be an interesting read. This guy has a philosophy which some might consider "out there" but he is obsessed with removing the obstacles to good tone in his ultra-fi products, and there is this bit on lacquer on guitars.
  16. Very glad to help! Did it work out ok? I had one of my mum's hifi speakers done by them, super job!
  17. Thanks for the input chaps, I actually pulled the trigger Monday, delivered to work today. Watch out for the "for sale" section soon!
  18. The last gig I did, one of the other band's bassist said to me "I didn't know what the situation with gear was, so I didn't bring mine" I did laugh out loud at that, but did let him use my stuff as our drummer also plays for them.
  19. I think the user is Gadge. Always been helpful to me.
  20. The chap who runs the Eggle forum is a user on here. I'm sure he will be along to help shortly...
  21. Thanks for the input chaps. Any more comments, pos or neg, before I get one of these? Cheers
  22. Try linking the send return sockets with a known working lead. If these are rarely or never used they can get tarnished and mute the signal.
  23. It's clearly not fubar then, good news! It will probably be a dry joint somewhere or a slightly iffy socket. Any decent tech would be able to go over it and make it good as new.
