It looks like this: [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Laneyfront_zpsb4e6a9f6.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/Laneyfront_zpsb4e6a9f6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] and the input sockets have got a 'link' socket underneath them - presumably this is for running parallel power amps, but I've never noticed them before. Anybody got any experience of doing this?

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1403724590' post='2485705'] Any cap wired this way would become a master tone control, as it straddles the hot and ground sides of the circuit. You cannot isolate a tone control to work on a single pickup, effectively, using mono, passive electronics. [/quote] Yeah, I realised that as I was planning my wiring. I've decided to hang fire on this idea... for now...

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1403612569' post='2484435'] Ever tried helping him get the drums set up? You could help load in, get stands up & place cymbals so he can get them set up for him, you could get drums & cymbals out of cases, hi-hat stand etc, etc. While he's faffing about getting them all into position, you can set your gear up. Being in a band is a team effort after all, so if everyone pulls together as a team, all good for the "common cause", which is why you are all in a rehearsal room together in the first place... surely?

Brilliant news! Also, do you find that your post-electric shock soldering is a bit tricky until the shakes have stopped?

I've just rediscovered my old Laney SP300 power amp. It's all on 1/4" jack sockets and binding posts with independent volume controls for channels 1 and 2 and it'll run as 300W bridged IIRC. Anybody know where I can find out the specs (recommended input level and impedance etc...)?

[quote name='fatback' timestamp='1403532468' post='2483609'] Oh well done. Being jumped on for a solo is my recurring nightmare. [/quote] This, apart from 'Being jumped on for a solo' is just [i]one[/i] of my recurring nightmares...

"Kiogon" on here makes brilliant quality, solder-less looms for basses, might be worth giving him a shout. http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/

The transformer rewir company were recommended by Derek at Watford Valves, so it might be worth giving them a call. If you speak to Derek it won't be a short phone call, but what he doesn't know about about 'pegs ain't worth knowing.

Panic music in Cambridge ( I think) are the only authorised dealer for Ampeg spares in the UK, but the trannies you get these days just don't seem to be that good. If I remember correctly there's a company in Ipswitch who rewind transformers.

Slander will be unleashing their new line-up at the Borough in Darwen, Lancashire on June 28th. Support is by the Horny Goat Band (bachelors of the Parish). Hot blues and NWOBHM styled metal for all...

Won't someone think of the children? Those delucious, crunchy children...

Blend pedal - handful of components and it's real game changer. I recently added a LPF to mine so that just the low frequencies are kept unaffected, and the mids and top get messed up. Score!

That, sir, is a BEAUTIFUL Jazz bass.

Might this be of some use? http://www.stringbusters.com/stringfaqs.asp

I thought that was a panda taking a 'selfie'... Kudos to EU for lovely generosity too.

glad you've got it sorted. I was about to suggest enabling S/PDIF in your software but as you've done it I won't...

Sibellius will route parts through VSTs these days. Still doesn't sound great, but at least it takes some of the donkey work out of it...

Thanks Dad, I was looking on there last night. I'm after original 1954 Hofner hardware, not NOS stuff, but thanks for the link.

I'm renovating a 1954/5 Hofner Senator and I need to get hold of 6 machine heads and a bridge. Ideally I'm looking to use original parts, so there's a bit of budget available. Anybody?

Is it any good for metal?
