I posted about this on 14th Feb in the 'search engine aggro' thread. No response, so I assumed it was just me...

Whereabouts in Cambs are you? I've not used him myself, but I've heard good things of Terry Chapman in Stevenage. /edit/ tjcguitars.com

I kinda like the black, but with the rw fingerboard it sorta looks like they forgot to paint the headstock. IMO, YMMV etc...

I remember your problems, but ISTM that the OPs problem here is with the retailer, hence my previous post. Does that retailer sell Yamaha/Aguilar/QSC/whatever ? If they do, and could conceivably balls up a warranty repair/replacement of a.n.other brand in the same way (after all, any brand can, and do, have failures) should we boycott those brands too ?

I think you've misread the situation.

Good stuff Rich ! I think I'd prefer less of a chamfer. That way, if it's not enough I can let rip with the sandpaper I'll have 2 mate - plus one of the ali ones. ps - think I've found a 486, if you're still looking?

I'd put it between bass & amp.

Yeah - was a shame. I'd still look at another in the future though. But disappointing nonetheless - I'd got the nod from The Financial Controller as well...!

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1392845293' post='2373537'] Can only second the G&L Tribute motion. [/quote] Hmm...I keep reading this, but I'd not had my grubby paws on one until last weekend. Perhaps I just happened upon a bad 'un, but I was very disappointed - the fretwork especially I thought was poor, and overall it just felt cheap to me. I didn't bother plugging it in... At that kinda price point, I'd take a Tanglewater any day.

It's black plastic that I'm really after, but I could use a single ali one. Cheers,

I've a Gator 2U ABS case that, I'm pretty certain, would take a 450mm amp OK. It's bigger than I need, so I'd be up for a trade for a shallow one...

The search feature doesn't work properly, for me, on the mobile site (iPhone). When I select a forum to search, then press 'done', the 'search in forum' reverts to blank. Noticed this a while ago, and seeing this thread just prompted me to mention it...

Yup - I'd have 3 or 4.

When I bought some Schaller-type (but not Schaller) strap locks for my Tanglewater, I didn't bother with the strap button bit. The ones there were almost (as near as makes no difference) exactly the same size/shape.

[quote name='sam-davies' timestamp='1391507838' post='2357811'] Has anyone seen RHCP live? I haven't and am wondering whether it's worth it if the opportunity comes around. [/quote] Not seen 'em myself - not really my cuppa tea - but a drummer mate, who's a fan, saw them at Knebworth a couple of years ago. Underwhelming was how he described it.

Might have something...I've a load more crap in the loft that I haven't looked at yet. Drop me a PM to jog my memory - I'll take a look at the weekend if I get chance.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1390859344' post='2350667'] The one on the left is a voltage selector plug and the one on the right is an impedance selector plug. They are the same - a voltage/impedance plug. [/quote] That told me, dinnit It's for an impedance selector...just wondered if they were called anything in particular.

Jeez...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1390857683' post='2350612'] What, you mean the powerCON socket? [/quote] Going off on a bit of a tangent, does anybody know what those 2 connectors/plug thingys are, either side of the plate in the middle, in the rear view pic? I need one for my old Carlsbro TC60, and haven't a clue what to search for...

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1390833334' post='2350008'] ...he has neglected the issues bands face, and the what the venues can be doing to encourage audiences into them and keep them coming back, [/quote] Yup. I don't know the venues mentioned, but as I get older I find the thought of an evening out standing on a floor that threatens to consume me from the feet upwards, drinking flat lager from a plastic "glass", and schlepping through an inch of piss to relieve myself, less and less appealing.

Now skipped...

PM's replied to... ...and gone.

The clearout continues... Fishtank going begging, if somebody wants to collect it. Juwel - 31inches long/wide, 15 inches high, 12 inches deep. No leaks, so it'd be OK for fish, or reptiles etc. Complete with hood, lights, pump/filter, thermostats etc. Even got some gravel... I decided to run it down a couple of years ago, and when the last fish popped its clogs I switched it all off. It's been sat a while with water in it, so it'd need a good clean, descale etc before using it again. Although it was all working before, I can't guarantee that it'll all work if it's switched back on again now, but I could check things out if anybody's interested. Collect from SG8 postcode, or I could meet up/deliver if it's not too far...Cambridge, Stevenage... It's going to the tip if nobody wants it.

Bought some pickups from Paul. What can I say...great comms, arrived well packed and in double quick time. A splendid transaction. Thanks matey.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1390226176' post='2342778'] The PSU is supplying the standby power, as indicated by a motherboard LED being on, but the power switch is doing nothing. I've re-seated the various connectors but no luck. [/quote] I've a HP desktop that does something like that. It's fine as long as it's connected to a mains socket that's switched on. But if it loses its mains supply - a power cut, for example - it won't turn on with the switch. The LED on the PSU flashes, in time with something clicking inside. I can get around it by pulling the power connector from the motherboard, then reconnecting it while holding the on/off switch in which starts it, and it's all fine again until next time the mains goes off. Anyhoo - all these highly collectables are still here, but only 'till the weekend...
