I have a cab just like that - my little darling tore the *rse out of it !. I tried gluing it down, but it just looked like hair plastered down with Brylcreem (anyone remember that ?) On the topic of cats and cabs; I placed my cabs near the door ready to load out to the car, when my kitten crept into the sound port and sat there in the cab, looking out at me. I had to dismantle the cab to get the kitten out and ended up late for the gig. Happy days

Bought a hall of fame reverb pedal in really nice condition from Nick. Nick kept me informed what was happening every step of the way, which is all anyone could wish for Thanks Nick

Thanks Jay, I'll pass that one on Might even visit him myself ....

any suggestions ?

[quote name='KK Jale' timestamp='1468079574' post='3088491'] The best I've ever used is Virtuoso. It comes in two bottles: cleaner and polish. Saying 'best' isn't really good enough. This stuff, the cleaner especially, is spooky. It cleaned my vintage Gibson 330 in a way nothing else did. Use an old white cotton t-shirt, so you can see how much brown goop is removed. It's almost miraculous. The technique is to work on a small area at a time, with circular movements, until the cloth begins to 'stick'. But keep working until there's no friction at all. I think you can only get it from the USA. If I bought a Gibson EB that needed cleaning/polishing and I'd run out of Virtuoso, I'd wait until I could get some more. I am that impressed by it. PS In my personal experience; please please don't use T-Cut, or wax. Spit at least won't do any harm. [/quote] Virtuoso is specially developed for nitro finishes. It's expensive, but it's far and away given me the best results with nitro compared to other stuff. Love the bass btw

[quote name='zbd1960' timestamp='1468086001' post='3088553'] OK - I'm a 'classically' trained singer (but amateur). I don't do solo.... A lot of singers (not all) have no proper training in technique, which leads to straining of the vocal chords (in brief - tuned shouting rather than proper controlled vocal production). This means that the voice tires very quickly and is easily strained. So one option, is that their voice just isn't very robust due to poor technique. Thi can explain lots of sore throats etc. Alternatively, they've picked up a bug and you can't sing if you've got one - and there are plenty of those aroudn at the moment. [/quote] This. Strained muscles, leading to decreasing vocal ability, leading to further strain and progressing in a vicious circle. The strained soft tissue becomes inflamed and sore, also making the area susceptible to infection. Vocal lessons are the kiddie

What are your new RCF tops out of interest ?

Mike kindly bought my Behringer mixer and a monitor from me. Nice easy deal, had a good chat on the phone too Cheers Mike, hope you have fun with it All the best Tom

Very cool. You also get the A string under the tree, which in theory, allows a lower action

With a capo at fret two, I've set a jazz between 6 -7 thou. I have gone lower to around 4 -5, but found the A and G strings a bit buzzy at those heights (using Fat Beams. Other strings may have different tensions, which will alter what can be achieved before rattle)

As it says on the tin really A work colleague has asked if I know of a good guitar tutor local to Wickford / Basildon Essex for her son (approx 16 years old) All suggestions gratefully received Thank you EBC

Thanks for the recommendations, The ASUS sounds like what I'm after, but I'll look more into both options Thanks again

So no-one has repaired any mics then ?
