I had some Robert strings. They were terrible, I took them off after an hour.

Welcome mate. My In-laws live in Watton near Thetford. They used to have (Not sure if its still there) a big guitar shop just outside the town.

There was a song called IIRC called "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha" The B side was it played backwards and spelt backwards. !AAAH-AH ،YAWA ƎM ƎʞAT OT ʚИIMOƆ ƎЯ'YƎHT")

I'd start to get aggressive and angry when I heard him start to scream or shout [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZNf3EdqNx8[/media] [/quote] Bloody hell what a racket! I dont think it matters what key you play this noisy sh*t in, as he just screams down the mike.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1430816195' post='2764727'] If you're using the cab with just a head, the second socket is a link to a second cab. They'll most likely be wired in parallel so it doesn't matter which one you use when you connect it as a single extension cab to a combo. EDIT: Beaten to it! [/quote] Ah! I hoped that would be the case. I have been using combos from the very beginning so am not used to plugging things in.

I see this has 2 speakon sockets. Why is this? Sorry to be dumb

The Squier bitsa in my sig is my favourite. I know its just a amalgam of bits and pieces, but it just feels so snug.

Open a dispute with ebay. I recently bought an iphone 6 from someone on there for a really good price. Of course there was no phone. He was still offering them for sale after I had been fleeced! I believe there were several other people who were done as well. Paypal refunded me in a couple of days. The seller had built up a good seller reputation building up excellent feedback selling cheap tat before reeling us in.

Thats a shame. Jon was a regular contributer to these forums.

IBFTL!

Not to proud to post this bass fail from last Christmas. The Rolling Stones 'Angie ' bass fail at 3.06. An Epiphone Thunderbird which I gigged for the first time that night. Look for the singers dirty look after. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdx5wdTqDaU

Sounds like you may have a hump at the top of the neck. These are common in some Fenders. Take it a shop or luthier and have them look at it.

It was on the sky arts channel the other day. I havent seen it yet so I recorded it. I will get around to watching it soon

Cheers. I have a bonus due at work, so will spend it wisely

Looking at this for my markbass mini cmd 121 combo. I have a couple of questions. How do you connect it to the combo? What is the dial on the side for? I have only ever used a bass combo amp in my recent years, and technology has moved on.

I recently moved over to E.B nickle strings after using a mates bass and much preferred the feel and tone to the Rotosound steels I had been using for years. I find the zing goes about the same time as the Rotos, so I dont hold with the belief in some players that nickles die quicker.

Angie by The Stones. I have created my own bass line for it, using elements of different songs I have pinched. The band always comment on how good it sounds.

I dont bother wiping them after a gig. I always change my strings every 3 months anyway.
