There's something not quite right about that headstock decal but I can't put my finger on it. Where is Mr Prowla when we need him!?

Bought a Hipshot tuner from Nick in the most straightofrward of transactions. Great comms, immediately dispatched, most pleased. A pleasure doing business! Paul

Thanks!! Just ordered one.

Looks like this will do the job? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCTV-12V-0-5A-500mA-AC-DC-Adaptor-Power-Supply-5-5mm-x-2-1mm-UK-Plug-2M-Cable/401394476386?hash=item5d74f9a562:g:khkAAOSwyltZTPNz

I really shouldn't be let loose on anything remotely electrical!

Yes! Clearly written in the back of the unit where it plugs in... positive centre. Thank you again!

Thank you. How do I know if it is positive to the tip/negative to the ring? The transmitter unit is just free-standing, not racked, but one of those inline jobbies looks more fit for purpose I have to say.

I use a T Bone IEM 75 for my IEMs and find it good enough for my purposes. However I find myself becoming increasingly irritated by the supplied power supply - rather than a UK plug it had a Euro plug plus adaptor, which is bulky and inconvenient. Also the lead itself isn't very long. The specs according to the handbook are 12V @300mA but i don't really understand what this means. Assuming I keep with those values are these things interchangeable so I can buy some sort of generic power supply? And can a short lead simply be extended? Muchas gracias Paul

This is another one my little band plays - I see a trend - simple basslines that I can't f#ck up....

One of the best voices ever.

A few years ago there was a short film following how this evolved in the studio that someone had uploaded onto YouTube but the full version seems to have vanished. Keef on bass, interestingly.

Oh yes.^^

Here are three that I play with my little band - great songs, real less is more stuff.

In Norfolk it is probably pronounced Eff-on, given their unusual twist on the language there.

If such an inconsequential thing as pop-ups annoys you to the point of driving you from the forum you must indeed lead a charmed life. Heaven forbid anything important happens to you!

That is a good price. I am a big fan of mine... not just because it sounds so good, is extremely loud, and extremely easy to use. It is just so tiny that pre- and post- hernia op, plus slipped disc, it puts a smile on my face when I stick it in the boot. For sure my Mesa Boogie Prodigy Four:88 is on the bench for a while.

Depends upon whether you live north of Watford or not.

If he's brazen enough to try it, why not?

Westone Thunder 1A fretless is exceedingly good at any price point let alone £200+/- if you fancy unlined.

There are a few Peaveys that spring to mind - cheap and cheerful Milestone aren't bad, Fury and Foundation petty damned good, especially the USA ones with the lined headstocks.

What a great expression - duly nicked.

So would we, had there been the option nothing quite as safe as bypassing everything that could go wrong!

Mrs S and I have been using ENTS24 for a while - useful to flag up forthcoming tours etc. Bought tickets a few times, never been a problem,. Back in August via ENTS 24 we bought tickets for Go West/Nik Kershaw/Cutting Crew event at Spotlight in Hoddesdon, gig was 25th January. Not too far to travel, approx 1hr , not been before but we like to see Go West and Nik Kershaw whenever they are in striking distance. Nice Turkish restaurant nearby, as it happened. As the night approached we kept emailing, asking when the tickets would arrive (no phone number given) - kept being told they weren't issued yet. Emailed on the Monday before and were told they had been posted. They didn't arrive. Emailed on the morning of the gig and were they would be at the box office when it opened at 7:30. Mrs S had the foresight to print off the entire paper trail to show we had, in fact, bought some tickets for the gig and what a good job as they weren't there. Luckily for us the manager was there, read through everything we had printed off and let us in. I am sure he didn't have to. Next day email to ENTS 24 to say we were a bit miffed not to have got the tickets we paid for. That we were even more miffed at being lied to about them being posted, and felt that they might like to say something. Not a word back. Now it could be argued that we got in, so no harm done. The way I saw it was that we paid for tickets that we didn't get, had been told lies, only got in due to the goodwill of the manager at Spotlight and that ENTS 24 didn't give a toss. We paid by PayPal so I started a dispute to say we didn't get what we paid for. They completely ignored it but after a few days, I suspect nudged by being contacted by Paypal, sent an email in answer to the one sent a couple of weeks back saying something to the effect that 'stinky poo happens, never mind'. I upgraded it to a claim and they paid a couple of days later. So - we got a full refund, also got to see the gig, had a nice dinner and a new venue to add to our list if anything new pops up there. A happy ending. But I don't think they did a very good job to the point of wanting to share this with you lot - if you buy tickets via ENTS 24 (or maybe even anyone if you haven't got them on the day) there is no guarantee they will arrive so, if they don't, be prepared at the venue box office and cross your fingers.
