    [quote name='vmaxblues' post='1369548' date='Sep 11 2011, 04:34 PM']Cheers guys, all good advice, I do know the player and as far as I know he is a decent enough guy. My problem are: Will a Double Bass push my rig too hard? It is unlikely that another player will leave my settings alone (which is what happened to my trace) Why should I take the risk?[/quote] Seems like we've all offered our own 2p's worth here. Returning to YOUR situation, I get the sense from your post above that you have some reservations about lending your rig. Your third comment seems to indicate you may be feeling some obligation here though, which is making you question your instincts. It's your decision at the end of the day, but if you're not comfortable with the situation, why go ahead with it ? Best of luck whatever happens.

    [quote name='tommorichards' post='1369410' date='Sep 11 2011, 02:01 PM']This place seems reasonable [url="http://www.tonetechluthiersupplies.co.uk/vmchk/Timber-Parts-and-Tonewood/View-all-products.html?TreeId=12"]http://www.tonetechluthiersupplies.co.uk/v....html?TreeId=12[/url][/quote] That looks like an excellent start ! Thanks tommorichards ! Jack, I should have known someone would do that, but it still made me laugh ! Mr. Foxen, yes you're right, it's not worth going overboard on this project. It's my first attempt at doing this sort of repair to a guitar. I'm confident doing fret dressing and a refret or two, but this is a step into the unknown, so something of a voyage of discovery really. Could be interesting

    Hi all, So my brother came around yesterday with a present, a Wesley 12 string guitar. My brother saw it in a skip and pulled it out for me, knowing how I mess about with these things. Looking at the front, it appears very presentable. The neck is comfortable and appears to be straight. The sides are intact and unblemished. The only snag is that the back panel of the guitar has been smashed in ! There's a sizable area of wood missing from the back panel, but all the bracing is still in place, which makes it easy to relocate them to original spec on a new panel. Question is, where do I source some plywood, or a solid panel of wood of instrument grade ? Thanks all T

    [quote name='RhysP' post='1369136' date='Sep 11 2011, 09:59 AM']Just be honest with the organiser - tell them the last time you let somebody use your amp at a charity gig they ruined it so you're not willing to do it this time. Can't be fairer than that.[/quote] This. You're already giving your time, why add your equipement ? Is there a good reason why the other player doesn't want to bring a rig ? Other threads on this topic abound with horror stories of rigs destroyed in circumstances just like this. If it were mine, I'd be saying [size=7]NO[/size]

    [quote name='overwater#1' post='1365648' date='Sep 7 2011, 07:35 PM']I've owned a couple of Yamaha instruments, and imho, they make the very best student level horns around! Build quality always fantastic, nice hooters![/quote] Thanks for the endorsement Overwater, I couldn't agree more. Yamaha do make good instruments and their quality control is generally very high. That's the reason why I grabbed it when it came up ! However, a new project calls, so something's got to give. Move on up !

    [quote name='ahpook' post='1366695' date='Sep 8 2011, 05:24 PM']very nice if i wasn't in the middle of playing eenie-meanie-minee-mo with my basses to decide which ones are to be sold, i'd have prolly taken it off your hands ![/quote] Thanks A If I could keep it I would, as overall, it's in very nice condition. If funds come in from elsewhere, I'll be pulling this off the market for sure.

    Hi all Up for sale is one Yamaha BeX, purchased from Warwickhunt around a year or so ago. It's the orange finish and comes with a hard case. Overall, it's in extremely nice condition, I'd say 9 /10, a low mileage example. There are two small dings that havn't invaded the body laquer and one small dot about the size of a pencil dot (my camera won't pick that one up). I'd describe the fret marking as minimal, with no fret marking over much of the fretboard. There has been a small repair to a piece of the wooden bridge by a previous owner. The piece has been glued on and isn't noticable until close up. The piece is cosmetic, not structural, so no forces from the strings are exerted on any part of the repair, so all's well The hard case itself is in very nice condition as well, very presentable. I paid £230 delivered for it, which I thought was a very fair price considered it's overall conditiont. I'll pass it on for the same. I'll put up some pictures as soon as I can get them processed. I almost changed my mind about selling this while taking them, as it looks a damn fine bass, but a new projectc calls. Thanks all (By the way, a blue one went on eb for £318.00 (it was new / unplayed though). They don't come along that often !)

    Hi All Here's one Markbass Sa450 for sale. It comes with a set of rack ears that have only been installed on this amp and bought spefically for this job. The amp's been used twice since I bought it from Pantherairsoft a year or two ago and it's been kept in a three U unit since I've had it, so it's not been exposed to any dust in the house. Anyone that knows Shep will know how he looks after his gear ! £415.00 please including unit and ears, or £380.00 for the amp alone. sorry no trades. Thanks all T (By the way, there's also my Yamaha Trombone on sale elsewhere around here )

    Steve was kind enough to buy my Aggie GS112. I've never known anyone to pay for anything so quick ! Steve was also on the mark with communication throughout the deal, no problems at all However, there was a small problem when the cab arrived in Scotland. I had no idea there was any problem when I sent it off and was shocked to discover there was something amiss To Steve's credit, he wasn't phased by it and stayed calm throughout. He even investigated getting the problem solved bless 'im, which he didn't have to do at all. I ended up refunding Steve his money, as he didn't deserve the aggro (not that he mentioned anything !) He acted as a gent throughout and deserves the best for the future IMO Thanks for everything Steve, I hope you get a decent cab soon All the best T

    Hi all Up for grabs is a Silver Yamaha Trombone. It's been used and comes in a hard case. It's hardly been used since buying it from Benbastin on this forum around a year ago. It has a few dings for it's age. Ben described it as a very good 'beater' instrument to use out and about. But don't let that fool you about the qualtity of the instrument, as Yamaha have a reputation for making instruments that play very well and this one's no exception. I'm only looking for what I paid for it which is £80.00 collected. I'm willing to post if the buyer pays carriadge. Thanks for looking folks T

    If I had the money I'd have that Ducati off you ! (and possibly the Eggle too)

    Try getting this one right start to end after a few beers This one, because it's a classic amongst instrumentals

    Not sure about how other places work, but there's pre-loved, guitar mart, loot etc. THere's more to life for the seller than e-bay
