Niiiiiiice

I've just been given this for next weekend. Should have some fun trying to get that sound out of a P bass with a pick and walkabout scout

Oh boy.. The Who The Spiders from Mars 10cc The Beatles The Beach Boys Queen The Motown house band

My first genuine Fender Precision was a 72/73 Maple maple with a white scratchplate I'd buy it back in a heartbeat

Another vote for All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix. I know Comfortably Numb was voted as the greatest guitar solo, but Hendrix's work easily walks all over that for me

Paul Weller (not the Jam) LP's. I just don't get it

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1484253087' post='3214118'] Revolver - The Beatles. I swear I could hear the start of Taxman, go for a (whatever is is....) 35 min walk and come back in with some 'It is not dying"-s in sync with the end of the album [/quote] This + Ziggy Stardust + Aladdin Sane

A set of radius gauges is available for around £11.00, worth the cost as a set up tool

Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine will show anyone how to set up all manner of guitars and basses. Worth every penny

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1483567263' post='3208407'] Some of us do not use FB, Twittter or any form of social media. This is a consequence of the day job where such things are inadvisable at best and career limiting at worst. [/quote] This

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1483381747' post='3206725'] He's a member here [/quote] Brilliant I was in the warm up band for his gig and we had a chat during the stage change over. He was also kind enough to say some complementory things about my home - brewed bass lines Please pass on my best if the opportunity presents itself

It's not a Rumour, but an earlier version, probably not long after the Lowden era. The other one's not a Rumour either by the way...

[quote name='cetera' timestamp='1483375508' post='3206654'] I have: 4 x Gallien Krueger GK800RBs 3 x Gallien Krueger GK400RBs 1 x Ampeg SVTIII-Pro 1 x Carvin B1500 1 x Sansamp RBI & 1 Sansanp RPM - into a Yamaha 1U Power Amp 1 x Mesa/Boogie 2x15 Diesel Cab 1 x Genz Benz Neox 212T Cab 1 x Hartke 410XL Cab & 60+ basses.... [/quote] 60 + basses. I thought I was doing well, but I take my hat off to you sir

I saw the drummer and bassist in The Climax Blues Band do this at the Standard in Walthamstow in the 90's. Looked good at the time

An assessment by an audiologist would be the way to answer this question properly. I purchased a set of ACS custom moulded ER17 earplugs myself, only to find I couldn't hear the vocals when playing. I went to an audiologist and it turns out my hearing iof higher frequencies is impaired, As a result, flat response earplugs reduce the overall levels to the point that higher frequencies drop out amongst everything else. The audiologist recommended a set of 9's (another brand they use) and that's made the difference. Good luck with whatever you do

Bloody hell, whatever next ? RIP Rick and thanks for the memories

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1482529939' post='3201359'] I've got one but you can't have it. Sorry. [/quote] That's a ringer for one I used to have, all the way down to the white scratchplate (which is my favourite). I'd buy it back in a heartbeat if I had the chance

Mesa Walkabout

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1480282234' post='3183099'] Neutrik are a company that make a massive variety of connectors so "a Neutrik socket" is a broad and sweeping statement! They do manufacture combo XLR/jack sockets for line level signals, and combo Speakon/jack sockets for amps/cabs, but both are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to what kit manufacturers choose to fit on their products, as the combo versions are more costly. [/quote] This is very true. I meant Speakon socket, I hope most people understood that after my description of it
