biskitbass Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 [quote name='gazhowe' post='669595' date='Nov 29 2009, 10:58 PM']Great afternoon spent trying out and listening to great gear and some tasty players. Also really nice to meet fellow BC members. The variety of gear on display was fantastic - I was really taken by those Aguilar 1x12's in Chocolate Thunder! A big 'thanks' to WoT for organising a great event. Well done sir! Gaz[/quote] why thankyou Gaz,the cabs are well worth it,love them. Really great to meet everyone there yesterday. Some fantastic gear there. Thanks WOT for organising again. Went to sleep last night dreaming of new amp heads to complete the setup....much decisions :-) Hope the head recovers mate-totally forgot to try the Hellborg!!! Prob a good thing as I might have had to buy it-yeah right Graeme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mottlefeeder Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Just got home from my meetings in the NE, so can I also add my thanks to WoT for the organisation. Alpha-dave, the out of print tutor book for DB is "Creative bass technique" by Henry Portnoi. If you search on Portnoi on this forum you will find the thread that lists it and others. [url="http://www.vitoliuzzi.com/creative-bass-technique-by-enry-portnoi/"]http://www.vitoliuzzi.com/creative-bass-te...y-enry-portnoi/[/url] appears to be a down-loadable copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hello! Dropped it off with the amp doctor today... should have a diagnosis soon. He didn't seem particularly fazed by it, so that's good news. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Me amp's fixed! Just had this back from the repair chap: [quote]Hi Michael. I've got it done for you. There was a bit of internal damage (nothing serious) which I've repaired and I managed to straighten the handle as well. Total cost £35 Cheers, Barry[/quote] Yaaaaay.. I'm so happy. I can't recommend [url="http://www.cameronelectronics.co.uk/"]Barry Cameron[/url] enough. Lovely bloke, and even though I have repair options north of the Tyne, I'd still rather make the trip to see Barry in Sunderland. And that's REALLY saying something.

gazhowe Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Barry did a great job fixing my Trace Elliot AH400SMX a while back. Mind, that was before I got a new amp to play the goldfish-ladder through! Edited December 8, 2009 by gazhowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
