    Afternoon all, I'm looking to get a new rig in the new year and have been looking at both the Hartke LH5000 and the Peavey Tour 450. From what I can gather, the LH5000 is powered by a valve and the Tour 450 is soldid state but apart from that, they both seem fairly close in price and power rating so just wondered what peoples' opinions on these two would be! cheers Dan

    Coooooooooooooooool! I had this one as my first "proper" bass in exactly the same colour, always regretted selling it especially as I found out via a mutual friend that the guy I had sold it to had bought another bass and decided to leave the Yammy in his shed for a few years.... Definitely a bargain you got there!

    Evening, as I haven't been in a band for a while I thought I'd use the downtime to repair/get all my equipment up to scratch. Got the action right on the basses and then I turned to my amp (Ashdown MAG combo), about a year ago the light bulb on the input gauge went. So emailed the nice chaps @ Ashdown who very kindly sent me a free bulb so with my trusty screwdriver and soldering iron I attempted to repair it, took the amp head out of the frame, got the circuit board free then tried to find where the bulb was located, thinking it would be part of the gauge assembly I took that off, inspected it - then my lovely (and keen eyed!) other half pointed out that it was situated underneath! I soldered the new bulb in, put everything back together and switched it on. The light was working, the amp was working but the flippin' gauge wasn't! Took it apart again, put everything back again but to no avail, the gauge didn't respond. Have emailed a few shops about getting it repaired professionally but either I get no response or the few that have come back have quoted me a minimum charge of £50 an hour! So...do I forge on and try get it fixed or do I sell as it is (the amp works perfectly) and get a new one? cheers Dan

    Hi, I'm 37, have been playing bass for about 18 years, I play fingerstyle, with a pick or slap, also good with fx (chorus, wah, distortion) and can provide backing vocals. My main influences (bass-wise) have been players like Doug Pinnick of Kings X, John Entwistle of The Who, Billy Gould of Faith No More, Doug Wimbish of Living Colour and along with the groups mentioned previously, others that have influenced me have been Muse, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica, Foo Fighters, RATM, Soundgarden, RHCP and Rush. Currently listening to Biffy Clyro, Dream Theater, Coheed And Cambria and Chickenfoot. I have been in various bands over the years ranging from a rock/metal power trio doing original material with whom I recorded a self financed album to various other covers/original bands. I'm looking to join a Classic Rock, Metal, Grunge covers or originals band in the horsham/crawley/gatwick area. If you fancy having a listen to some of my playing please go to www.myspace.com/danthemanonbass Cheers Dan

    So sad reading this, as the guys have said in the previous posts, my thoughts are with his family. My brother in law is dyslexic and is a mechanic and has struggles at work as he works at a Vauxhall dealer and it's all fairly computerised compared to when he first started in the 80's. Also a guy I know has quite a bad stutter and very similar to Jimmy he sings with no problem and is now the frontman for a local covers band, the human brain is definitely a strange beast.

    [quote name='bethnalgreen' post='673160' date='Dec 3 2009, 02:35 PM']My subscriber copy still hasn't arrived. I phoned them again (third time). They say they're posting another copy to me today. Suggest that anyone else still waiting calls them as well - 01884 266 100 .[/quote] Well if my copy hasn't arrived when I get home I will be contacting them. Interestingly I remember when I used to phone to re-subscribe, I would get a very polite and helpful older-sounding gentleman who would send out the mag next day (if a copy hadn't come etc) but have found since a new person has taken over that this isn't necessarily the case...lol! And it is improving and IMHO a better read than the US one.
