Hello folks. Can any owners of a TE 715 please measure from the outside edge of one of the rubber feet to the outside edge of the opposite rubber foot? I am looking for a width measurement across the front of the amp. I know from the TE site that the 715x is 24.2" across, but I would like to know how far apart the feet are spaced to know whether it will fit on a 23" Gramma Pad. Cheers!

Great transaction with Ric for some mics and strings he bought from me. All good!

Good transaction with Dave who sent me some cash and I sent him some strings. All good!

Definite;y iTunes - you can set the bitrate you want it to convert to from 16 up to 320 kpbs

Only one shielded end can work as a ground lift (I think) - I suppose if you use it in hi-fi equipment, it can remove hum if if you have a ground loop. I don't know how effective it would be in connecting up a guitar to an amp.

[quote name='Lostheplot' post='727162' date='Jan 28 2010, 12:32 AM']Since Paypal started holding the cash for 21 days or until feedback is left i've heard of a few people getting similar emails.[/quote] [b][size=5]WHAT???[/size][/b] [quote name='robocorpse' post='727179' date='Jan 28 2010, 12:58 AM']Paypals draconian new rules mean that sellers (again) are automatically in the wrong until they have a certain number of transactions under their belts, and yes, they do hold funds from the seller until positive feedback is left, or several weeks have passed without any claims being made against the seller. This means until you leave feedback, or let weeks pass, the seller will NOT receive any money from the transaction. Paypal protecting the buyer at the cost of the sellers rights, as usual.[/quote] [b][size=7]WHAT???[/size][/b] How bloody ridiculous!! I have sold stuff on ebay in the past and never received any feedback for it - if I had to wait 21 days for a payment to be released to my bank account, that could cause some serious problems. Unfortunately the "How can I withdraw money from PayPal?" and "Withdrawing money from your PayPal account" links on the ebay help pages don't seem to work and there don't seem to be any replacements. Very effing helpful of them - thank you ebay. A quick Google search reveals this - [url="http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/01/09/paypal-screws-sellers-by-holding-payments.aspx"]http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/01/0...g-payments.aspx[/url] - most of it is just filler, but there is a section that details the reasons why a payment would be on hold. This bothers me because, despite having a feedback score of 394, all positive, I don't have any Detailed Seller Rating. I sincerely hope that I am unfortunate enough to receive a Paypal payment in future, it's not held because the DSR is a factor.

Locking tuners, noiseless pickups, roller nut? I guess it'll be quieter than a standard Strat and i'll (theoretically) stay in tune better if you want to use the trem. If I was looking for a secondhand Strat and there was no difference in price I'd probably have the Plus. I wouldn't pay a premium for it though.

Teaser - I only just noticed your in Leicester. I'm going to send you a pick your brain PM!

Me - badly

This is the list so far, should have said Looking for some contemporary stuff to add to it. Teenage Kicks Johnny B Goode Saw Her Standing There Chelsea Dagger Route 66 Brown Eyed Girl Should I Stay Or Should I Go? I'm A Believer Don't Look Back In Anger Hey Joe Summer Of 69 Passenger I Fought The Law Seven Nation Army Smells Like Teen Spirit American Idiot Can't Stand Losing You Always Something There (Sandie Shaw, but a bit rocked up and me singing ) I predict A Riot Sex On Fire White Room Can't Get Enough Keep On Running Hey You Get Off My Cloud Long Road To Ruin Vertigo Substitute

That's my kind of list cheers! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming. I'm going to be playing guitar (and singing, God help us) in this band, although bass duties will be taken on by none other than BC's own Boy Thunder (who?). Already settled on Police, Nirvana, Cream and Green Day songs and Hey Joe too. Anybody got a cheap Unibass (no, thought so! )

Putting together a 3 piece for pubs and stuff like that. Wondered what sort of songs you would recommend. A lot of the stuff we do in the 5 piece sounds a bit empty as a 3 piece. Suggestions please!!

It hasn't got any brass buttons or lapels and it would look terrible with a pair of chinos
