All liked!...some great music/bands found

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Excellent idea!... Here it's my band [b]Killing Vegas[/b][/font][/color] [url="https://www.facebook.com/Killingvegasuk"]https://www.facebook.../Killingvegasuk[/url] I will start listening and liking all yours now

Excellent service from Thomann always too...and I've used them quite a few times! Even when returning a bass I bought, which was really nice but I found a nicer one here on Basschat two days later, I rang them to have it returned and they arranged everything for me and didn't cost me a penny, no question asked.

I used mine with Bergantinos NV 610 and 412 and the tone/power from that rig was unbelievable!

Paul bought my Xotic SP comp pedal. All around a pleasant transaction. highly recommended Baschatter. Thanks Paul and enjoy the pedal.

Me and my bass [url="http://s105.photobucket.com/user/PauBass/media/PabloBass_zps8a54a3e1.jpg.html"][/url]

Dunlop Super Bright Nickels, or stainless steel, might be what you are looking for...I have just put a set of their nickels in my P bass and they are definitely very low tension, closer to the TIs than any other brand I have tried.

For me it would also be leather strap with suede back to stop slipping and some padding in between...for those heavy instruments...70's Fenders anyone? One thing I have never liked on leather straps is the way to adjust the length, if you want to change it it's no very easy or quick, I much prefer the quick slide buckle found on other straps, you can adjust it on the fly...Could this be done in a leather strap?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1407409510' post='2520165'] I don't understand hanging basses on the wall. They're not ornaments to me. I keep all my basses in their cases and my main gigging bass doesn't come out at home. [/quote] Well, I happen to think they also make for a nice feature wall [url="http://s105.photobucket.com/user/PauBass/media/BassWall_zps240249a4.jpg.html"][/url] Not much space, other than the garage, for storing them in our house so having them on the wall it's the best option and it's very handy when you are using different basses for different bands/songs. For gigs I use my Protect Gigbag and the cases are stored away.

Another top transaction here. I ordered a wiring kit from him for my Fender PJ and it was made and posted the very same day I ordered it. The kit is now fitted on my bass and it does have made a difference! He's work is top notch and now changing pickups it's easier than ever!...not sure if this is good, there's so many to try out there Cheers John!

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1406971759' post='2516301'] Is there a sticky thread for tried and tested pedal repairers? Just a thought. [/quote] Not that I know of...but it's a great idea!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1406833960' post='2515203'] Ahhh, and I was about to offer £10 for a broken pedal [/quote] Blame KiOgon not me,I was about to sell it for £5! [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1406842957' post='2515330'] Another quality result for the BC community. [/quote] This is one of the reasons I love Basschat so much!

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]What can I say that it hasn't been said already?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I had a problem with one of my favourite and precious pedals, my Akai Deep Impact, which had stopped working completely.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I contacted John and arranged to bring it down to his place. I[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] arrived pedal in hand and from the start John was very nice. He had a look at the pedal and started working his magic on it whilst I was having a go at his lovely collection of Fender basses [/font][/color] A few minutes later, the pedal was working again as if nothing had happened. We had a very good chat about Fenders, amps, strings and past stories....it was a real pleasure meeting John and I can't thank him enough. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As always, it's great to meet another Basschatter.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thank you very much John!!! [/font][/color]

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1406806271' post='2514850'] Sorted it was a pleasure meeting Pablo today & his pedal is 'making all sorts of horrible noises' once again Cheerz, John [/quote] Yes, all sorted now!...Thanks to KiOgon's knowledge and expertise. He's been very helpful and a true gentleman. I'm so glad, the pedal is now back on my board and I'm ready to start learning Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" Also, thanks to you all for your advice...I love Basschat!

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1406741913' post='2514329'] You've possibly got a BCer nearby who's handy with a soldering iron. You could contact GAK in Brighton to see if they offer a repair service in case nobody here can offer practical help or look online for local luthiers who work with electrics or amp technicians. [/quote] [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1406742842' post='2514341'] You could try a PM to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"]KiOgon[/url], I think he's done this sort of repair before. His location shows Bexhill on Sea, not far from Peacehaven, I think..? Hope this helps... [/quote]e] Thanks guys! I'll contact Kiogon and see if he can help me...he's not far from me.

[quote name='NoirBass' timestamp='1406664302' post='2513589'] Sounds like a dry joint on the board, find someone handy with a soldering iron and it should be a quick fix. [/quote] Thanks for the advice. I was hoping to find someone that can repair pedals and I was wondering if anyone here on the forum knew who.
