Spend ages dialling in the perfect tone only to change bass/venue and lose it? Well, I do (it's me age) - so I knocked up a quick bit of panel art that lets me make a quick note of my settings. I find this pretty useful so I thought I'd share... Cheers, RB [attachment=74206:AshdownDials.jpg]

Just wondered if any of you good people had any experience with these: I've searched around but can't find much about them - seem to be quite sweet for the low money (way sub 200 squids). Specs are: Body: Mahogany Neck: Maple bolt-on Fingerboard: Rosewood Bridge: Vintage style Scale: 34” Nut width: 1 ½” Finish: Satin natural or gloss black Weight : 7 lbs Cheers, RB

They tend to go for around £150 and pop up quite a bit. Nice to see the Orange logo too![/quote] Hey - thanks for the welcome BB. I see you're a man who likes a nice PB - my first 'real' bass back in the day (erm bought new in '76) - how I wish I'd hung on to that - hey ho... Yup, big Orange fan - use a Ric 620 through a TT driving 2x PPC112's loaded with V30's - works for me. On the trail of a T-Bird as we speak Cheers, RB

Greets all - this looks like a good place to hang out - so thought it would be polite to say 'hi'. Had a long and interesting musical career (I use the term loosely) starting out as a session keyboard player - then hit the road for the duration of the original punk scene back in the late 70's. Won't bore you with the intervening decades - suffice to say I'm not quite as old as Lemmy but catching him up - hey ho. Play mainly 6 string now (trashy thrashy buzzsaw barchords - mmm...) but enjoy playing the bass as well. Used to have a Ric 4003 but it had to go to pay the mortgage (big sobs) - and I find I really miss the bottom end. So currently bassless but gassing for an Epi Thunderbird as (to me) it looks sweet given my lousy budget. Hope to make a useful contribution to the forum and looking forward to getting to know you all. Right, I'm off to check out the ads... Cheers, RB
