Ive got one of the MkI reissues and abolutely love it. The mark II's are a bit poorer build quality and the more recent ones seem very flimsy. Its my main bass and is the coolest looking bass ive had (mines the all black version)

Orange Terror Bass - Bog standard hybrid amp. Valve amps - proper amps

Would have one after trying one. However, im far too sold on valve amps now to consider going back to solid state/hybrid amps

Anyone know of the top of their heads what size alan key a Squier Affinity P bass takes for truss rod adjustment?

A fender bassman 135 head? Been after one of them badboys for a while. Ive got the matching 2x15 cab

Good call. I emailed the seller for measurements as being for guitar i wasnt sure it'd fit and low and behold it was nowhere near big enough to house my original bridge

Ive been after a bridge cover for my bison bass for some time. It needs to be semi circular in shape to resemble the original burns covers. Ive come across this vintage bridge on the bay...

Ive emailed the seller with my bridge measurements and asked him to measure the internals on this but was thinking if i could just cut the slots of and file down the remnants?

Bought some wizard pickups off Tim. Arived well packaged and lightening quick - just in time for my rebuild day. Pleasure to deal with and good comms throughout. Have no problem at all recommending fellow BCers. Top bloke! Cheers Tim!

P bass wiring also bought off John. Looks a quality bit of kit, really good components and soldering that puts me to shame. Very quick delivery too. Defo recommend. Cheers John!

Just bought some P Bass Trads off here. Couldnt decide between them and the thumpers but a good price coupled with a fair few reviews i opted for the trads. Cant wait to get them. Booked all day off tommorow to rebuild a Squier P bass (i say rebuild but really its a re-wire with one of Kiogons harnesses, adding the Trads, adding some old vintage looking tuners and thumb rest and finally a new decal. Might even do a build diary

Very sturdy cable bought off Dave. Arrived super lightening quick and is an excellent bit of kit. Amazing what a decent cable can do to your rig/sound. Cheers Dave

Bought some old tuners and a thumbrest off Pete. Arrived very fast and very well packaged. A pleasure to deal with. Cheers Pete.

Ive checked closely and it is down to the crappy camera. It is just the inside of the valves glowing and not the plates. The is a hole in the middle inside the valve that is why the top is glowing. It does seem to be purely the inside wire so im much happier now. Thanks for everyones help on this. Will be phoning the tech tommorow to get it booked in for a services and once over. I assume the two valves that i have switched places dont matter? Ive had it on standby for 30 mins since swappin and they all seem fine now

D'OH. Took the valves out, gave the amp a good clean aaannnnnndddd......only 5 now glow EDIT. I swapped the valves around to see if it was the valve or the socket......now all 6 glow again . Does it matter that 2 are no longer in their original position? Sorry for all the questions. I will learn/research valve amps i promise

Also, for cleaning purposes, can i just remove the power valves, clean inside then replace the tubes without having to re-bias etc (assuming i put each valve back in its original place?
