Nice one Sarah!

Dynacord gear is serious pro quality stuff We used to sell Dynacord bass amps in the shop I worked in during the 80s - they used to make a 1x15 combo that was absolutely f***ing awesome!

And I don't expect it'll be any particular bargain either. Jon.[/quote] I can't believe somebody placed a bid when the BIN was so good for a Rick. What a f***ing idiot.

[quote name='Bidd' post='914483' date='Aug 4 2010, 12:29 AM'](my amp is an Ashdown and most engineers I've found do not like the DI output on Ashdowns).[/quote] Really? I've had nothing but glowing praise for the excellent quality of the DI whenever I've used my old ABM C110 combo to record or play live.

[quote name='matski' post='912754' date='Aug 2 2010, 01:20 PM']I replaced the nut on my P bass a couple of months ago and it was a piece of cake. I bought a Tusq one off the web, used the highly scientific method of gently tapping the old nut out sideways with a hammer and a flathead screwdriver, and slotted the new one straight in. Maybe I was lucky that the replacement nut was exactly the right size and needed no sanding down to fit, but it couldn't have been simpler.[/quote] Did it have the string slots already cut? If so you were lucky that they didn't need adjusting. Taking the old nut off & fixing the new one in place isn't the tricky bit - cutting the slots properly is.

Personally I'd go for a graphite or a Tusq (synthetic ivory) nut. If you don't have any experience of cutting/filing nut slots I'd definitely get it done by somebody that knows what they're doing. It's a very easy thing to get wrong.

There's a rather gorgeous Chandler Royale 12 string bass on Ebay at the moment for a very reasonable "£1500 or best offer".

My custom built early 80s Jaydee Supernatural. The neck was so unstable I spent more time adjusting the f***ing thing than playing it. Sound-wise it was a bit of a one-trick pony too. Did the Mark King thing brilliantly but sounded sh*t for anything else.

I've never thought of myself as a musician because I have no musical knowledge.

I love it. I think the Mini Moog is probably the greatest bass instrument of all time. I really love synths & keyboards of all types. If I ever won the lottery my first purchases would be a Mellotron & a Minimoog.

My life as a "musician" so far leads me to expect that I will die bitter, unfulfilled & in poverty.
