The same one. The office is now Bernies workshop. The basement is now what you see in that pic. There is a new kitchen in and upstairs has been completely revamped and the teaching room has been created. I think Dr Bob is looking at stocking more higher end stuff. Its certainly in the process of transforming from a little back street shop to a more boutique niche effort. The workshop toilet is more like a throne room now! You wouldnt recognise the place now.

Is that Psycho Andy's old Spitfire?

No - I think that's still with Thunderthumbs.
Dan's Spitfire 5 was built shortly after the original trio of walnut spitfires - its the same spec as my Spitfire 5.
Dont suppose you've been down to the workshop recently have you? The bassment has undergone a massive refurb and now houses a pretty immense collection of vintage bass, guitars and amps...

Both - now know who the bass player is but the band?

I believe they are unnamed at the moment - just a bunch of Eastbourne musos getting together and doing their thing. I'm friends with Dan so no doubt he'll keep me informed as to progress and when they have a website etc. I'll keep you informed if you'd like.
If you like the sound of the 2x10 and simply want more of what you get, the 2x10 is the way to go. Each cab should then be vertically stacked to give you a vertical column of 4 speakers. Put it to one of the drummer, jobs a goodun.
I'd say it's probably polyester on the body. In which case, very fine grit wet and dry (sand wet using washing up liquid as a lubricant) should be enough to take the shine off. Dont see why you'd need nitro?

The nut on one of my GBs is nickel (same as frets) - although that was done for cosmetic reasons above anything else. Does it make a difference? I'm not sure. A well cut nut as stated above is the most important... although the bass with the nickel nut does seem to sustain for a lifetime.
Larry tends to do it at all his gigs... he breaks into a jam and anybody who "wants some" can queue up in hope that they make it up the stairs to the stage.
Generally the people that get up are pretty good - you don't put yourself forward to be shamed in front of what is usually a muso heavy crowd.
I for one, thought the cocky guitarist made a right prick of himself...
