[quote name='Netballman' timestamp='1333286908' post='1599555'] I'd love it, but unfortunately I'm based in West London! I was just considering trying to build one from scratch after a rejig at home.... Of course if you are coming anywhere near this way any time in the near future...! [/quote] Unfortunately I have no plans to visit London in the near future. Rather than build from scratch, you may find something at IKEA. There is a website that suggests alternative things to do with IKEA stuff - [u][color="#810081"][url="http://www.ikeahackers.net/"]http://www.ikeahackers.net/[/url][/color][/u] and also this one - [url="http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/LackRack"]http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/LackRack[/url] - which makes a 19" rack David

[quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1332778604' post='1592995'] Sorry man, I've been away working for the last week. Unfortunately I can't take this off your hands any more due to some unforeseen circumstances. I'm very sorry for getting your hopes up and wasting your time. Alec [/quote] No worries - stuff happens and sometimes you can't get back in touch - and the other person doesn't know until afterwards If nothing else, it's made me strip the gear out and clean up the rack, so its ready to go if anyone else wants it. David

[quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1332113914' post='1583612'] Hey man, I'm interested, and live in Newton-Le-Willows right near Warrington. I'll only be back next Sunday though. Does that sound good to you? [/quote] I'm getting the impression that you don't do PMs. Are you still interested? David

Sounds good to me - PM me your mobile number and we'll sort out where we meet. David

19 inch rack built from chipboard - not giggable, but would suit home recording studio. One shelf is fixed and one slides. Both can be relocated to suit your gear. It's just the rack on offer, the electronics and mains wiring are staying with me. Sizes - floor to top surface 33.5 inches including castors rack strips 19.5 inches long - 10U or possibly 11U width just over 20 inches depth 15 inches I live in the Warrington area, and work in Liverpool, so I can drop it off in those areas, or we can meet if you are slightly further afield.

[quote name='BigGuyAtTheBack' post='1064984' date='Dec 20 2010, 07:46 PM']Hi there, been playing bass for a while. I'm a lefty and still looking for a decent lefty P bass. Been playing with a covers band in Aberdeenshire for 17 years now. Any other lefties out there? Gies a shout! Cammie[/quote] An hour with no replies - must be something good on TV. Not a lefty, but welcome anyway! David

Some information, and some thoughts - The Tascam DRI gets good reviews, but the DR7 has noisier microphones - may not be an issue for an amplified band, but may be if you record an acoustic set. The Microtrack II is a different animal - its main advantage is that it has phantom power if you have and want to use condenser microphones for your recording. Its disadvantage is that it does not have built in microphones. Battery life and battery changing/recharging might also be worth considering. The H2 and the DR7 take AA batteries, so they are a quick field swap. The Tascam DR1 and the M-Audio Microtrack II have a built-in lithium batteries, so when they run down, you have to power them externally. David

Thank you all for your thoughts. I have an NS EUB, with both the monopod and tripod stands, so I may be able to use the tripod, and the bout (gut rest?) from the monopod for more stability. I'll also try standing and seated. The best news is that you think it is worth pursuing. Thanks David

[quote name='Geoff' post='994760' date='Oct 20 2010, 01:23 PM']...Has anyone here ever made thier own stompboxes and knows where I can get the boxes from?...[/quote] You can get a cast-aluminium box from Maplin, CPC, and several other UK sources. If you want something shaped like a commercial stomp box, the best advice I have seen is to buy a cheap commercial stomp box (e.g. a source selector), rip out its electronics, and build-in your own. David

I bought an EUB about two years ago, but never got into it due to worsening health, and I ended up not playing anything for the last 18 months. I'm now starting to pick up the pieces, and find work-arounds for the things I cannot do. My question is about whether it is worth restarting EUB. My problem is that my thumbs go into cramp if I try and use them for any continuous task, even a light load like holding a mobile phone. The problem is not physical, like carpal tunnel problems, but to do with nerve conduction, chemical balances in nerve cells, etc. For Bass guitar, I can lay my thumb along the back of the neck, and still reach the strings with my fingers, and I can accept that there will be limitations in speed caused by that playing style. Firstly, are there any long-term problems in applying the same approach to EUB - especially since I have already had a recurring stress injury in my left little finger? I am also currently recovering from a trigger finger release operation on that finger. Secondly, is there anyone in NW England who teaches disabled people, or convalescing musicians or similar, who might be able to offer me guidance on what I should or should not attempt to do? Thanks David

[quote name='barneyg42' post='980143' date='Oct 7 2010, 05:45 AM']Do the rounds mark the neck much?[/quote] I don't know - I've had health problems which stopped me playing about the same time I bought it. David
