  1. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='97751' date='Dec 2 2007, 07:50 PM']We were at The Black Bull in Preston town centre and it was packed to the rafters There was a really good atmosphere and we went down a storm which is just as well as we nearly had to call it off at the last minute - singer had a temperature and sore throat, drummer chucked up twice before we went on. Lot of bugs going around up here.[/quote] There you go Homer - two weeks ago you were threatening to chuck it all in due to half empty venues and unappreciative punters P
  2. Really inpressed Mike, and Ive only played one track and watched one vid (Push) so far... P
  3. If there there was a mix up on the returned items it could of course be the pots that are wrong and the knobs are the correct ones. Maybe Dave's pics will help P
  4. [quote name='Ba55me15ter' post='93699' date='Nov 24 2007, 11:15 AM']Cheers Platypus - one TRB5 headed my way for £199!![/quote] Yup, noticed the TRB5 on here. Glad you found on there
  5. Al, that will be the Ultralight HE6C 1/2" with clover peg P

  7. Just a heads up for the Basschatters for Sound Control sale. I received this email earlier today, and there are some bargins there, I think. Mostly new and also some ex demo. Last time I ordered a combo from them, in one of the sales, they shipped it for free. It's phone orders only though Ashdown ABM 300 head (ex demo) £149 Ashdown ABM 500 head (ex demo) £299 Electro Harmonics Big Muff Soviet £ 29 !! EMG P Bass pickup £ 9.99 one only [url="http://download.soundcontrol.co.uk/downloads/winterClearance.pdf?campaign=249"]http://download.soundcontrol.co.uk/downloa...df?campaign=249[/url]
  8. [quote name='obbm' post='86120' date='Nov 9 2007, 06:40 PM']Reply from Lakland "We've run in to this problem with a few of our Skyline production runs. A smaller tuner was used which isn't compatable with the replacement D-tuner. The solution is to have the hole reamed out to fit the new tuning machine. A qualified technician can do this fairly easily. If you are interested in having a complete set of tuners that all have the same finish, we do offer a set of american made Hipshots which are replacements for the korean made tuners that came with your bass. These have the same finish as the D-tuner that you bought. These would also require reaming to fit properly." Looks like I'm inot buying another 3 US tuners and having all the holes reamed out. Platypus - Does your DJ4 have satin finish string-posts? Does your Hipshot have the same?[/quote] Dave, Yes, satin finish on both as I remember - NiceGuyHomer is the current owner of that DJ though. Hope its gets sorted out ok P
  9. Dave, I also emailed Lakalnd earlier this year to obtain the Hipshot part number for a DJ4 - can't confirm what part ref they quoted atm, though will check later. As I was dropping the bass off at the Gallery for a setup, I got them to also supply and fit the Hipshot (quoting the part number supplied by Lakland). Martin never mentioned about having drill anything. P [quote name='obbm' post='85833' date='Nov 9 2007, 11:02 AM']The story so far: 1. email lakland - What is the correct Xtender for a DJ4 please?" - HE6C 1/2" 2. email Hipshot - What is the correct Xtender for a DJ4 please?" - HE6C 1/2" 3. None in the UK so order from Hipshot directly 4. Wait 2 weeks, collect from Post Office, pay duty and tax 5. Doesn't fit:- - Headstock bush is larger - no way I'm going to drill it out, anyway they are advertised as a drop-in replacement, - Can't use existing bush as threads are different - Chrome instead of satin finish 6. Try it on Duck Dunn - same problem 7. Irate email to Lakland and Hipshot - awaiting reply[/quote]

    Blue Darryl

    Yep, great bases, the DJ's. Be interested to see a pic with new pickguard - I got a Bob Glaub in the same Lake Placid blue P
  11. Hey Peter, Very interested in this mod, as I have a BG myself. Any chance of a photo - would like to see what it looks like now, Cheers, Paul

"Strike while the iron is hot"[/quote] Not bad, though I got my Lakland BG on eBay last year for £ 386 (from uk) - complete with gigbag, string winder. Was a Lake Placid blue one in very good condition. Was just lucky that time... P
  13. The last time i was in the bass Centre that have several Bob Glaug Laklands on the wall. definitely worth trying one if only for comparison..... P
  14. [quote name='Vipa' post='75818' date='Oct 17 2007, 10:41 PM'][/quote] SWR Goliath III 8ohm 4x10 cab £850 Looking for £500 Collection only unless you want to arrange a courier (just shy of 100Kgs) [quote name='minty fresh death' post='75819' date='Oct 17 2007, 10:46 PM']Would you sell the Goliath separately?[/quote] Sure you're going to be able to carry a 100 Kgs cab
  15. Happy to leve feedback for Gwill. Bought a small combo from me, some time ago, and recently passed me on (f.o.c) a nice set of LaBella flats that he had no use for. BTW: The strings are still sounding good - expect they will last for years ! P
  16. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='75486' date='Oct 17 2007, 10:33 AM']I've always wanted a BG or a DD, I think my Sterling's days are numbered [/quote] Homer, I do have a BG, though I'm going to hang on to that P
  17. Looking good Homer.... the black pickguard is the way to go , I think.. P
  18. +1 Stunning Would love to hear some soundclips.....
  19. Well, I just couldn't resist.....
  20. Glad to hear the DJ worked well on the gig - did you use in passive mode ? BTW I'm almost certain they are Aero's in there
