That's a beauty Steve - I've played andyonbass' ACG Recurve single cut and it was love at first twang. I wish I had the patience to wait for one to be built.

Had the very same rig myself once

Hey Dave, we played at Ighten Leigh in Burnley last weekend and I noticed you were on the list to play there soon. Strange place, hope you have a better night than we did.

Finally, two sadly missed members..

Sorry for the delay - had to send 'em to Photobucket again..

I've got a couple of tutorial DVDs I don't need - a Billy Sheehan one and a Flea one.

Animal - if not Simon Philips

Nothing's gonna stop me this time!!![/quote] Yeh, no worries Froilan. [quote name='ste_m3' post='125167' date='Jan 22 2008, 12:27 AM']Think i could hitch a ride homer? If i can/theres room/theres anyone interested im now in possesion of two warwick neo cabs! punchalicious![/quote] You can have a ride with pleasure sir but as it looks like I'm taking 3 basses, there's not going to be much room for gear.

[quote name='obbm' post='124694' date='Jan 21 2008, 03:39 PM']I should be able to come. I'll bring the DJ4 with Fralins to compare with your DJ4 Al. I will also bring the Duck Dunn Dark Star. Stingray Status 5 with Nordstrand anyone? Any requests? The question is what amp. Should I bring the BFC?[/quote] It'll be interesting to compare the two DJs Dave - I must be honest and say I wasn't really enjoying the sound of the Aeros (with my GK rig) and was thinking of changing them but since I got my new rig it sounds absolutely tremendous. Must order those control plates.

[quote name='Machines' post='124681' date='Jan 21 2008, 03:21 PM']Would love to try the Bongo Al .[/quote] I'll bring it for you Matt

...there's more

That day's clear for me and no gig on the saturday either so I'll be less bog-eyed and knackered than usual. Room for a few more in my motor if anyone needs a lift. Will bring any of the following if anyone's interested but otherwise I won't bother. Lakland Darryl Jones 4 Bongo 5 HS Precision with Wizard Thumper EBS Classic V1 Pre = QSC PLX2 3102 Epifani 212 NYC

I've had a go myself Nik, and if you're any good with a soldering iron (I'm hopeless) it's easy. To make sure I connected everything back correctly, I took a photograph for reference and didn't experience any problems.

A weekend of mixed emotions again - Friday was another ebay gig. First time we'd played since Xmas and it showed. The audience weren't into it at all and after carrying all the gear back downstairs I left the rest of the band with a clear message that if it doesn't get any better than that, I'm jacking in and selling up. Then last night, it was an absolute stormer - one of the best gigs we've ever had. The guitarist's new amp and my new rig sounded fantastic and, with the audience up for a good time, it inspired us to do one of the best performances we've ever done. Now I'm happy again and looking forward to next weekend.

I think Homer had the pictures?[/quote] Ah yes...still got all those pics...erm, let me see, was it this one? or maybe...this one where Jamie fell into the pud... Got some good ones of you too Dood....

Good move IMHO - just done it myself and I'm finally happy with my sound. I put a similar post up recently and the general concensus was you can't go wrong with a Yamaha or there's a Crown one for about £400 which is excellent for the money.

Bloody southerners....you're all scared of coming up t'north where there's plenty of big strappin' women to carry yer gear an' beer's still only 4 bob a gallon

I bought one from the Gallery recently and must admit I was disappointed with the quality of it. I'll have to check when I get home if mine's a copy. Whatever it is, it isn't a patch on my Brooklyn Gear (comfort-type) strap.
