If they cause wear on the board get it reshot or replaced when it's too bad.[/quote] Couldn't agree more! It's not a major job cutting a board back or even replacing the whole thing. Andy Viccars has done a cracking job of replacing a board with, 'A nice bit of ebony I got under me bench somewhere....'.

Just bought an Ampeg pre' and PA off Stu. Really pleasant guy and keen to ensure all is well with the deal. Cheers Stu

Not ill, but you should be ashamed of yourself. Three basses doesn't even get close to the minimum required - you need at least seven basses and around five or six amps. Now go away and get yourself sorted.

I love my Ampegs - B25, V4 and SVT :brow: The 'great' sound of valves, IMO, is from overdriving the power section and doing this with an SVT without injuring children and small animals isn't always possible. Cue the smaller amps - the tone from the B25 is, again IMO, just righteous and at a reasonable volume. I've yet to hear a valve preamp replicate this but I'm still looking. But as everybody says, an all-valve head is bloody heavy...

I think that sums things up rather nicely Pete

+1 Re' the Brake Cleaner. 'Kin evil stuff but it's [b]really[/b] effective at stripping grease (I use it in my business for cleaning stuff prior to TIG welding). Gotta be really careful about inhaling the vapour... :wacko:

Hipshot recommend the BT7 for the VM Jazz. It fits ok but needs new holes drilling for the screws.

Go for it - I started having lessons aged 45 with Maurice Cope. Best thing I've ever done but then Maurice is a fine, fine teacher...... Good luck whatever you choose.

Just bought Matts' TRB6 JP. Matt's an absolute gentleman to deal with, showing exemplary patience with me as I bumbled through the UKs' internet banking system...... Ignore an opportunity to trade with this man at your peril! Many thanks my friend!

IMO, don't mess with Lizzies' Customs & Excise boys.. They're not stupid. I imported a few nice Ampegs when the dollar/pound was 2:1 but I don't think it's worth it with current exchange rates unless you just have to have that bass,amp or whatever.

Clarky's just bought my Fretless Ibby. Splendid chap to deal with! Enjoy going fretless Mark! Cheers Grahame
