Thanks Solo. I'm liking the Avatar too. I retired from Enterprising when I moved North from Plymouth.

Coming back to this forgotten thread. We did indeed sack the singer and lost our first gig on New Year (that he'd organised mainly to get his leg over with the pub landlady) in the process. He then told us he was going solo after the gig anyway (more money in his pocket being the motive I suspect) and that he didn't give a toss about how well the gig went. He failed time and again to turn up, failed to learn his songs and when he did turn up he was always at least half an hour late/pissed. It was all our fault evidently We are still hunting and advertising for a new singer and if one doesn't materialise soon I can see our drummer walking. He's good and that would be a shame. Bands eh

I'd have thought about coming but I'm away to Moffat. I actually got married in Pelaw

Truckstop [/quote] I'm sorry but, as nice as Mike's beast undoubtedly is, you must be blind. My opinion of course I prefer my wood naked. Saying that this is one of my ACGs but Alan changed the hardware to black for me.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1357632094' post='1925503'] Yep, just listened to it. Quite like it, and am sure with a few more listens will like it more. Nice to see Bowie back making good material. [/quote] That's me too.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1357159347' post='1918470'] I loved the one I had but it was too heavy for me. If they were 8lb they would be perfect. [/quote] I've just put that bass down I'm a wee skinny (and fairly old) guy and heavy basses don't seem to worry me too much. My new ACG build is exclusively Wenge and bubinga so it won't be a lightweight. I had a Pearl White Sterling 5 for a while and it was a beautiful thing but it was neck heavy, I fitted lightweight tuners which helped a lot. I still sold it. It just didn't gel. I've never owned or played a 4 string Ray and I'd like to try a good one particularly a 2EQ to see what all the fuss is about. I'm going to try the SR5 at the next band gathering instead of my ACG J5. The ACG is immense in terms of tone and playability so it'll be interesting to see how they compare. If I keep the SR5 I'd love to find a Nordstrand pup for it. I fitted one to the lovely Rita (a 4 string Sterling in orange and well known on BC) and the improvement was immense. Now that's a MM I miss Peter

[quote name='ern500evo' timestamp='1357146489' post='1918159'] I love the look of those EAD 212's. Did I read somewhere that they are only building them to order now? [/quote] You'd need to speak to Dave Perry that makes them. He's a top bloke, very friendly and he might have some builds in the pipeline.

I run my LM Tube through an EAD Foundation 212. I've used Aguilar DB's and GS's and I've heard a back to back comparison with a Barefaced cab (albeit an earlier one) and I've not heard better.
