Chappers

I've just had my plaster taken off after 4 weeks and came on here for any advice on how much movement I can expect to regain. After reading your post I should just be thankful for what I've got. Hope all works out for you mate. I feel your pain!

Thanks Skidder/Big Stu.

Hi Guys, Does anyone have any suggestions for instrumental breaks the bassist and drummer can play while waiting for the guitarist to re-tune his guitar during a gig? I hate those long drawn out silences once the singer has stopped interacting with the crowd. Cheers, Col

Very informative. I've only ever used DR Hi Beams, and fancy a change. The link has helped me make my mind up!

Sultans of Swing. Still love it, and always drop into it when noodling

WOW. I've only just read this thread due to being off line so long. I'm truley shocked to hear Si is no longer with us. I met him before I emigrated when I bought his Peavey BAM combo while he visited Shuker for his next creation. A more down to earth and honest guy you could never have met. We kept in touch when I moved and he was genuinley interested in how I was doing over here. I will miss his posts on the forum. RIP Si. Col

That is one awesome colour!

T'bird is on my GAS list as I type

Torn - Natalie Imbruglia They keep making me play it

Not taking the back off just yet guys

UPDATE Bought the amp for a snip ($200 - ~ £100.00) Took the amp to the guy who built it 15-20 years ago and he checked it over for $50 - ~£25. Now have a lush valve amp to play with. Result I reckon.

Anyone know the thread size for the bolts that attach the driver to the cabinet? Just bought an un-loaded cab and all the screws are missing. Ta.

[quote name='umph' post='739005' date='Feb 8 2010, 03:32 PM']what amp is it? gut feeling would be power valves on the way out.[/quote] It's a "Woogie" made by a guy here in Adelside. Seller just mailed me to say it's fixed with a new fuse, but I'm gonna check it out. Will let it warm up for a while and see how it goes.

Peavey BAM 210 (if you can find one) I love mine.

Hi, I'm shopping for a valve amp, and went to see a second hand one today. Amp played fine for a few seconds, allbeit through a crappy speaker, but the fuse blew. The guy didn't have a replacement, so he's gonna replace it and I'll re-visit him later in the week. Question is, I'm still interested in the amp, even if it has a fault, as the maker is local to me, but is there a common cause for blowing fuses on an amp? I know naff all about the wizzardrey that goes on inside these things, but I don't think it's a basket case, as it played fine before the fuse blew (no buzzing, pops crackles or anything to suggest it was rubbish) Cheers in advance.

Bought mine from Silverfox Nik. In a word, Superb!

"nd gig at the Adleaide Fringe. Getting the hang of this Country and Western stuff! We went down a storm. First time I've had 2 encores!!!

Played a 20 minute "taster" set for the Adelaide Fringe. About 500 punters strolling by throughout. Was a real buzz. Looking forward to the next 2 "real" gigs next weekend

+1 on all the above. He built my P Bass with Jazz neck and arranged to have it (sucessfully) shipped to Oz. A crackin bloke I wish I'd met earlier in my playing career. [attachment=19366:CIMG1983.JPG]

I bought all my gear from guys on here bar a custom P bass, and would do so again, if I wasn't in Oz Never had a bad deal, and follow up and support is second to none
