The only problem Ive found with the Gibson bridge is that if you pop a string during a gig and forget to grab the saddle, you'll lose it. I learnt this the hard way back when Gibson had NO customer service or Epiphone existed. Had to have one made by my local friendly and expensive engineering firm. The Gibson bridge does the job really but they are rather odd, the Supertone doesn't change the sound to my ears and does look out of place. If your into having a Thunderbird, the bridge isn't your problem, its making sure you keep holding the neck up whilst playing. Ive had 3 over the years and loved them all. Too awkward at my age, theres too many fab basses that don't give you grief to make a Tbird viable for me anymore. They sound and look fantastic though

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1345889665' post='1782757'] The black Gibson TB arrived a couple of days ago; the whitey and black Hamer FBIV arrived about three years ago. Hipshot Supertone bridge incoming for the new arrival (damn those three-point bridges are [i]awful[/i]). P [/quote] A stunning trio if I may say so.

A nice fleece would be a cool item perhaps include tho option to have your screenname under the bass chat logo for added 'anorak' appeal.

tumble weed just blew through

It's a East BTB that is being wired up to split the humbucker so having vol vol on one stack and bass and treble on the other one. Should do the job nicely me hopes.

It just fried up Luke, sounded crap and noisy then just lost all tone. Sorted now. Cheers Chrisdabass. Just spoken to Mark at Bass Direct. John East system on its way. Simples! Cheers Col

Hi folks. The preamp on my Warwick Streamer Stage 1 has blown. I'm an absolute numpty when it comes to the electronics. Any advice on what I could replace it with to give it a bit of new life. I've seen so many different combinations that my brain is shot. It has a single Bartloini humbucking pickup and two stack knob controls. Where do I go from here? All help much appreciated. Cheers

Peavey make some great amps. Possibly the best no nonsense amps out there. They just keep going and going

I've just spoken to Musicguard and taken out a policy on 20k for £350 which includes 50% mobile and unattended vehicle provided the vehicle has Thatcham category 1 alarm. Advised that proof of ownership is a time stamped photograph of you and the instrument with as much identifying info on show, even including the serial number held up on a placard. My valuations were pretty simple so they accepted replace with new or equivalent up to agreed valuation. I found them very helpful and easy.

Ive just got my Ashdown CTM 300 and CL 610 cab a Roqsolid suit. Superb quality, really do the whole job and with the transport strap they dont move about. Thanks Bryn & Lee. Top Job!!

Clever but I wouldn't give it the time of day.

Flawless trade with Andy. Great comms and all top notch. Very friendly and pedal was exactly as described. Top trader. Thanks Andy

I bought Markus' Warwick Streamer Stage 2. The deal was totally efficient, transparent and the outcome was even better than promised. This guy knows how to trade and maintain an overall feel good element through consistent, friendly and timely communication. I can't thank you enough Markus, the bass is nothing short of spectacular. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this geezer for trading. A credit to Basschat. Muchos grasias Col

That's a rough deal and I can empathise mate. It can't be much of a deal if they are making these demands before signing, if it was about the music ( which it should be) then it wouldn't matter. Trouble is the business if full of flakey f***wits who think image and other such issue matter, it doesn't, they just think it does. You were there for the music and for that you should be saluted. f*** em and move on ;-) It could e the best thing that happened in the situation, you really don't know what's around the corner. Dust yourself off and seek your next outlet mate.
