  2. Cool. What does 'Murder One' do? I'm assuming mute switch?
  3. C. You have absolutely no way of knowing where the chip came from. Take it on the chin, chalk it up to experience, etc etc. They all pick up dings eventually. I remember being heartbroken when my gorgeous Shuker got its first tiny ding, through a stupid moment of clumsiness at home, and I beat myself up about it for some time. But then I looked at it philosophically and realised that Sh*t Happens, it would've happened sooner or later anyway. The two or three it's picked up since have been met with some choice Anglo-Saxon vernacular but that's all.
  4. ...and with the GP12SMX+4x10 you will have one of the finest combos ever made. Not to mention heaviest
  5. The Lambo Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
  6. Ooh Aah... Just a Little Brit - Gina G
  7. Yup, that's me too. January's job is replacing all the batteries in all current gigging basses, and checking all the others. Ooh. Do you have a schematic of said circuit, pretty please?
  8. I understand that better tuners were one of the improvements introduced for the Gen 2 basses. I did everything I could with my Gen 1's tuners, stripped 'em down and lubed 'em up (stop sniggering at the back) and experimented with washers and shims and everything, still couldn't get them feeling 'right', hence the Hipshot upgrade. Which of course brought the added advantage of the weight saving.
  9. FWIW, here's mine. Only two things in it at the moment, the Line 6 wireless receiver and the G-B Shuttle 9.2 amp. The red-ringed socket on the front is the output from the Line 6, and I have a colour coded cable snake (red send, green return) to the FX board. Hence the green blob next to the amp input. The third plug in the back is a phone charger, just in case anything needs a top-up. It's all in the name of convenience.
  10. I did, and for a second I thought I'd fallen through a wormhole into a seaside postcard from 1972.
  11. Today is a very, very good day. :)

      Ooh - I'm all intrigued now! lol ;)

      You've got a new toupée?

      Yup. Pale finish, heavy relic, aged hardware. But that's enough about me. 

  12. Yup, it's another ! I was looking at / listening to the latest Bass Gear Mag online (including @Dood's excellent review of the new Sire Vs) when my eye fell on one of the NAMM exhibitors, a builder called 'LEH'. They appear to be jolly nice basses in the main, but oh dear dear deary deario, what in the blinking buggery flip is going on with that headstock shape. It makes the old Lodestone one look elegant. https://www.lehguitars.com/
  13. Where Has Everybody Gone · Pretenders
  14. Very old but not worn much -- it turned out to be a bit snug on me, I should have bought an L. It's spent quite a few years sitting in a drawer, so could do with an iron, but it's clean. The logos are very neatly embroidered. Collect from near Bristol, or bung me £3 for postage.
  15. OK, I'll 'withdraw' it for the moment. Let me know when you want it putting back up.
  16. Folsom Prism Blues - Johnny Cash Point of order Mr Chairman... the perpetrator of that particular piece was Clive Dunn (and it was co-written by a certain Herbie Flowers). St Winifred's Borstal Choir were responsible for the even more stomach-churning 'There's No-One Quite Like Grandma', a song etched forever into my brain thanks to a car journey around that time, during which my young niece sang the chorus over and over again for at least half an hour.
  17. I used something similar for my surprisingly heavy Behringer 60w combo, only mine were more like this - smaller and un-recessed. It's definitely worth doing, and the bigger recessed ones Dad posted above will be just the ticket for yours.
  18. ...and now of course, having said all that, I took it to rehearsal last night and oh my giddy bloody aunt, it sounds amazing through my gig rig. It cuts through like an extremely sharp thing hacking its way through something easily hackable. Perhaps I can live with the weight and the balance after all..? ❤️
  19. The Covenant Of The Elder - Acedia
