Always worth putting a cheeky bid in as long as you can leave it on the book and don't have to pay for a catalogue but as said above the chances of it being successful are pretty small.

There is 2x10 going as well.

I would send him a message to say you will keep it free of charge for 28 days and allow any reasonable collection arrangement he makes and state that if not collected within the 28days it will be disposed of.

That way he can't claim you have stolen it or any rubbish like that.

I got some slow blow fuses from Marlins as I was desperate and they were more expensive than eBay but not by that much, £3 for 5 I think.

I had the chance to have a good look over this this morning and it's a real stunner, if I had the spare cash it would be mine now.

Thanks Kev, as described, probably better in fact. Top bloke to deal with. Thanks mate!

Met up with Kev this morning for a trade/ purchase. Absolute top bloke and a pleasure to deal with. Sorry I didn't have more time to chat mate, next time we will get a brew on, thanks, Clive.

The Ann Frank is worth a visit but go,on a weekday and get there for when it opens, when quiet it's a moving place to be, when rammed it's more like walking round someone's house - it loses the impact.

My mistake, minds eye was showing a precision. My old EB3 did exactly as you describe and that turned out to be a loose earth wire on one of the pots. But it was only by checking the continuity that I found it, the wire still 'seemed' to be attached. A wiggle of the wires would sometimes restore sound but not always.

Could be a pickup, bit also could be one of the pots, hence taking off the pickguard. If there is nothing obvious then it will need a more systematic approach. But wiggling wires can sometimes work wonders!

You need to whip off the pick guard and have a look. It may be obvious or you may need to get the old multimeter on it. If a wire is under tension and the solder joint is poor then it could have just pinged off but without having a look it's impossible to do anything other than educated guesses.

I have five Big Muffs. Think I used one for a gig once, and that same one to record a track for a friend.

So I can't​ say I've [i]never[/i] used any of them!

I use mine all the time, well did, it's died :-(

Do you ever get down to Derby at all mate?

Hi .. I'm going to come along to this. Never been to one before, sounds fun. Space in the car from Derby if anyone needs a lift ... space for some basses too if I leave by double bass at home.

I can bring any or all of:

A Wal fretless, a (slightly odd) Warwick Dolph, a double bass, a TINY PJB amp (flightcase) and a LARGE Trace Elliot combo (if anyone wants to buy it!)

CU there

Derby must be a hot bed of TE kit, I have just bought a very combo and cab from a guy in Derby. I grew up in Spondon but don't remember much TE kit in the music shops in Derby, remember a nice Roland amp I couldn't afford though.

I love that!

Mine was a Stagg, long gone and not missed if I am honest but it did get me playing so worked for a beginner.

Could you put your foot up on something to tilt the bass towards you so you don't lean over as much?

It's got a bid........

Another member and myself got a few funny looks at at MacDrudges last week when shifting a TE combo and cab between cars. Met some great people already and have another meet up planned for this Saturday for a new purchase/trade.

Some Silvertones are quite collectable these days. Keep anything for long enough and it will become cool.

Even Kay basses? May have a while yet to wait............

Hope my wife has strong arms, she will need them pushing the wheelbarrow my kit will buy.

Not just music venues, they nearly killed Mallory Park with this rubbish and I know several clay shooting places have had trouble.

How about some of those Camden bands from the late 80s / early 90s? Silverfish, Milk, Headcleaner, Faith Healers, The Love Blobs, The Telescopes, i bet nobody remembers them..
[/quote]
I remember Silverfish, I saw them when they supported Therapy? Great live band.

I will have it mate, pm sent.

They look like motorbike links to me, even if not they would be a very close match to your pic.
