    Paris, Texas - Ry Cooder's finest? American Graffiti - great 50's/60's soundtrack (early Harrison Ford role and directed by George Lucas.) +1 for Oh Brother Where art thou too.

    [quote name='4StringFortress' post='1005393' date='Oct 29 2010, 04:22 PM']I cant seem to find any on here I had a check. I have found the Washburn AB-10 B on google are they similar to the AB20?[/quote] I see you found it! The AB series start with the AB10 and go through to the AB40/45. Think the AB10 is similar to the old AB20, certainly looks the same.... I've seen them going new for around the £300 mark, and rate them the best in this price range, along with the Takamine 512c. Cheers

    I can recommend the Washburn AB20. Had mine for nearly 20 years, and its still great. You can get them s/h at quite good prices - Oldman has one for sale on here in 'basses for sale'

    Fender do a box of guitar care stuff, 'Fender Instrument Care Kit' containing 3 products - 'mist&wipe', 'swirl&haze remover' and 'polish&conditioner'. Had mine for over 3 years and still loads left. Excellent kit for most eventualities! Think they're around £20.

    There's what seems like a nice Dano Longhorn currently for sale on Edinburgh Gumtree for £120. Appears to be a late 90's Korean model in blueburst. Fair price for a Dano, they're getting harder to find these days. Cheers.

    [quote name='wotnwhy' post='999854' date='Oct 25 2010, 11:50 AM']Interested in this, but would be 'absolutely necessary' to courier as i'm from S/W Wales.. [/quote] Am guessing it would be around £20 to courier / post? (Let me know if thats about right, obviously would do it at cost.) Forgot to mention ,as its not my personal amp would prefer payment via cheque too if thats okay. (Check my feedback on here, you can buy with confidence!) Thanks, Pete.

    Depending on how loud you need it, Gallien Krueger MB150 series have been a favourite of DB players for a few years. Great little things, and s/h ones often crop up on eaby etc.

    Washburn EA45 acoustic electric in natural finish for sale. Believe it's a 1992 model, and pretty much top of the Festival series range of instruments from Washburn. The EA45 is the deeper bodied version, whereas I believe the lower models were usually thin bodied. Sounds fine both acoustically and plugged in - been mainly used at home, with occasional gig appearances. Overall excellent condition, just a few very small marks from use but nothing significant. Neck /frets are unworn. Recently restrung with D'Addarios. Comes complete with immaculate fitted hard case too. Spec - solid cedar top, rosewood back and sides. Matching rosewood headstock overlay. Mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard & bridge. 650mm scale length / 43mm nut width Slotted diamond fret markers. 15:1 diecast chrome tuners with pearl buttons. Equis II preamp - volume, lo /mid /hi plus contour tone controls, battery warning & on leds. These retailed for $1049.90 in 1992!! Think they were around the £600 mark over here, (without the case). NOW SOLD! (to non BC person!) Would much prefer cash on collection / meet up / possible help with delivery (I'm near Hull in East Yorkshire). Thanks for looking, cheers Pete.

    85lbs is the ONLY reason I sold mine - was getting to the point where I was struggling to get the head onto the 8x10. (Even having a mate help it was still a pain.) BUT I will always remember it as the best rig I've ever used by a mile, and is still the sound I try to get close to with other set ups.

    [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='989800' date='Oct 15 2010, 11:24 PM']TBF i think having to go to Hull deserves a recompense in itself![/quote] Hey up, easy tiger........its not all bad!

    Mine was a great JV Squier 50's precision - black body. white plate,maple neck. Sounded fine. Others include my lovely 70's SVT rig - still the best amp I've ever played through. And I can't even think about the 60's strat I sold for peanuts.........

    I've worked with a few guys from LCM, and they've all been great players and good people. The last 3 editions of Jools Holland have featured LCM players to my knowledge, so must be doing something right?

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='989376' date='Oct 15 2010, 04:00 PM']Aww. shame. One of the best gigs I ever did was at The Springhead. The people who ran it were lovely, but I think they threw the towel in a while ago.[/quote] The couple who ran The Springhead for years (Terry & Pam Kent) left a while ago, and are currently running The Ryder Club in Coltman Street,Hull. They made it into the great venue it became, and won numerous awards for their efforts. TBH I played at The Springhead a few weeks ago and no probs with the dosh, although the place did seem to be a bit short on bar staff - people at the bar not getting served is not the way to run a successful pub. Think the current owners can be a bit unconcerned with how things are - amazing in these hard times etc....

    Just sold Mart a bass - quick easy transaction, and a nice bloke too. Recommended!

    Bassist is Al Gare, a great player! Older BC ers may remember him playing upright with King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys, excellent 50's style r'n'b band. Think he's also done some stuff with Richard Hawley too. Can i just give a big shout for Si Nixon from Leeds who was playing trumpet with John Legend on the same show - nice one Si!!

    SOLD!

    Heard it too - great tune penned by the Bee Gees, but her version much better IMO. Not sure of the bassist though, was a 1977 Warner Brothers release on the album 'Music speaks louder than words'.

    I've used GK stuff for years - 800RB, and also a 700RBII and am now using a 1001RBII. All been great amps, 100% reliable. I usually run the 1001 with all the tones flat and it sounds brill. Occasionally add a touch of bass or mids if the room demands, but thats not very often. As for them being bright, I've never noticed this with any of them. My favourite maker of tranny amps without a doubt, and around 20lbs not that heavy either. I came to GK after years of Ampeg usage and found them instinctive and usable. Dial in a bit of the boost and off you go! Whats not to like?

    Met him at the recent Leeds Guitar Show, seemed like a nice geezer who knows his stuff.

    Rolling Stones - any period! Although following Bill Wyman maybe a tad easier than replacing Darryl Jones....... Also would have loved to play in The Faces - early 70's era though ( less so now with Mr Hucknall on board.)

    D'Addario XL's. Used them for years, always consistent and never had a duff one or bust one yet! Never liked Rotos BUT their new Roto RB nickel range are really good for the money!
