[quote name='Stag' post='909146' date='Jul 29 2010, 12:42 PM']Im seated watching at the O2! Did you watch him do DSoTM? I watched it 3 years running in three different venues... lol[/quote] I can remember 1973 Earls Court - I've even still got the bootleg LP I bought on the steps, the ticket stub & programme - the T shirt has long since gone! First time I saw the Floyd was the free concert in Hyde Park in '68, Atom Heart Mother, loved them ever since.

[quote name='RussFM' post='909309' date='Jul 29 2010, 02:56 PM']I'd love to... but I'd never pay such ridiculous prices for one evening's entertainment. If it was £40 I'd go, but £75 plus booking fees? And I'd have to get the other half one. And then pay for travel to either London or Manchester. Hm, no.[/quote] Tickets direct from O2 online @ £67.25 & no booking fee - worth every penny IMHO. It ain't often I'll travel to that London but as it's Roger PS In July '90 I was working for the company that did the official video of The Wall Live in Berlin, up above the mixing desk with the AV gear, I'll never forget it!

YES! Tickets went on sale today - SORTED! - got mine, anybody else going? Manchester dates = May 20/21 Ooooooooooooh it's a long time since, October 94 IIRC. [url="http://tour.rogerwaters.com/"]Roger Waters Tour[/url] Cheerz, John

[quote name='BassBod' post='905564' date='Jul 26 2010, 10:58 AM']One thing I forgot to mention - the string earth (thru bridge) doesn't work with black plastic strings. I've never had a problem with buzz or noise, but its worth remembering.[/quote] Possible if strung through body but if the ball end is in the bridge you will get continuity through the string core. Your body touching the strings outer only won't have any effect.

[quote name='bassmansky' post='903784' date='Jul 24 2010, 09:26 AM']Always been good to me,cant praise them enough.[/quote] +1 They could not have been more helpful when I wanted to 'update' my Mini48 cab to look the same as my Little Bastard cab. Superb customer service, always reply to emails, a good example to some others! Cheerz, John.

Any info on Andrea's white P bass? Cheerz, John

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='899248' date='Jul 19 2010, 06:42 PM']I hope the new range have rude names too. Little Bastard, Medium M***erF***er and Massive C**t.[/quote] MoFo's been done long time, if you [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/"]Watch Ashdown TV[/url] closely you'll see a Hayden MOFO in all it's glory! You have to be quick though, just a glimpse onn the vid, they had the full M.th3r F.ck3r badges on at Musikmesse, I haven't seen them in the UK though! Cheerz, John

[quote name='sk8' post='899865' date='Jul 20 2010, 11:53 AM']my LB has been fixed and is on its way back to me Great service from ashdown[/quote] Hey sk8 what's been fixed? Just being nozey like Cheerz, John

Great to see Ashdown represented on the forum at last I've always found them very helpful & friendly to deal with + it is good to support a British company. Cheers, John

All I can say is that I had the first LB in the UK (end of March) & I told Ashdown about the switches etc. They've obviously not updated the online manual. No I didn't get a hard copy either! The Up for On is (in my mind) the American way - must be why it seems right to Ben (LuvMusic), but I see it as wrong simply because it's upside down to the notation. I think the guy that designed the amp didn't talk to the guy doing the front panel layout! It's the Bright & Mute that are wrong (to me) the Bass Shift & Mid Shift could be either way Take any switch in the world - if you switch it toward the notation, be it On or OFF - O or I - Loud or Quiet - Mute Bright whatever, what do you expect? It's a lovely little amp though does exactly what I want - beautifully & sounds great Cheers, John

I forgot to mention - my current gas/lust is a '57 Vintage White/Blonde - just how I like my woman too

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='897630' date='Jul 17 2010, 09:28 PM']Further to my earlier post, I found a stand for the 51RI & have also assembled a further P-bass mainly from 70s parts [/quote] Good to see thumb bars in the right place Nice collection Burrito Here's my 2&1/2 - the Bello has a P neck

IIRC one of my mates got the same upgrade back in the early 60's - the 'new electronic pick-up' was a Hofner made 'bolt on' made to screw to the bottom end of the neck & the controls console made to fit over the tailpiece. Probably very collectable now if it still works & no reason why it wouldn't! Cheers, John

[quote name='RockfordStone' post='893239' date='Jul 12 2010, 10:21 PM']hey guys, really hoping you can help me the jack on my ibanez edb605 appears to have broken. it looks like one of the contacts in the socket has snapped and therefore it isn't making a proper connection when i put the lead in. i need to find a replacement, but i don't really know where to find one from. im wondering if one of you tech savvy bass geniuses would be able to help me out and point me in the right direction towards one. i believe it is a stereo , and the bass is active if its any help. ive posted some pictures, ive looked around and i can't seem to find one that looks the same :S cheers in advance[/quote] This ebay shop is great for price & fast delivery, if you can do the soldering?

Cheers, John

Even the photo of that just oozes QUALITY but it's just another jazz bass
