"Play an Oasis song."

Not putting me off at all. It's all good information to tip in to the hat. Indeed, having had a number of black cars in the past, I vowed never to have another! Beautiful when clean and polished but can end up looking like a shed in no time!

I think this may be a "it'll happen one day" type project. Though maybe it would be better to do in the warmer weather.

I can totally visualise the sanding action and the reason why. I really want a purple glitter so I guess it depends on what is available. Make sure the primer layer is good and smooth, got it 😃 I don't expect to end up with a flawless finished article, but better than acceptable is the lower limit.

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of the spray trigger. Sanding at 45 degrees, I sort of get it. Just don't go straight forward. I guess I need to sand delicately and not just go at it! Slow and steady wins the race.

Damn! I'd forgotten about Ishibashi. I just had to go and look and found this.. oooh! Just wonder what "The Original 1976 Precision fretless.." actually means. What ever, it's a beauty. https://intl.ishibashi.co.jp/products/05-2800001437854

I just saw this on YTube and I just wanted to get a feel from those more capable members on here as to whether this seems viable and isn't just a bunch of video nonsense. I have been wanting to glitter/sparkle refinish the bitsa P fretless I have but don't have the funds to pay a pro to do the job. Bare in mind I am a cack handed klutz and anything that could, will go wrong (i.e. falling face first on the final coat as it dries). Whaddya think? Is it this straight forward?

Layla by Clappedout .. on and on and on Oh yes and that atrocious Umbrella ella ella by whoever it was, particularly that part. That line is criminally bad. That shocking "Irish" ditty by Sheeran. You know the one - "I had a little fiddle with an Irish man in the back of his Transit van. I said you can do what ever you can, then he hit me round the head with a frying pan."

Just another to add further props to Ashdown. My Klystron Classic 500 head was in dire need of servicing when the gain pot started to play up . Spoke to Dave, shipped it back, it was given a thorough clean (I swear I did dust it.. once..), parts changed and all serviced and shipped back in no time. I have absolute faith in the brand and have no reason to ever change from them.

Two ups! Both at the same time.. not sure how, but half the fun would be figuring that out 😉👍

50% happy excited audience. 50% happy excited me.

Since using a wireless set up on my bass I have not yet experienced another mic/lip tingle. It was one of the primary reasons for me to go wireless.

Uhmm.. sticking my neck out buuuut, I found the Foos to be rather boring. I guess only having an hour affected their set choice but I just feel it's always Dave talks, quiet intro, ramp it up, Dave shouts, bring it down, bit of improv, loud, shout, quiet, loud, shout, end. Next song, repeat previous. I dunno, I just found them a bit by numbers. I did like the band intros though, Nate wallops out a bit of Beastie Boys and Pat gives us some God Save The Queen.

Yes, they very soon become a Didjeridon't.

Clem is an absolute monster. I love his passion and energy.

She is and always has been one of those vocalists with decidedly questionable pitching. Still pretty iconic though.

Wouldn't that be great! If all the audience for their upcoming gigs wore bobble hats 😁

I don't think you should tell people what you are changing it to.. 😉

Thanks folks. Job done, Roqsolid on order.

Sorted! Thanks 👍

My old amp cover has just started to degrade. It's a foam backed vinyl and the foam is now turning to powder. It's lasted a good 10 years so fair enough. (I can't remember who made it. Black vinyl, white piping and it had a union flag stuck on the front corner). Anyway, It looks like it's going to be a Roqsolid one but I was just wondering is there anything else a weekend warrior like myself should consider or just stick with my initial choice. (I want a protective soft cover, not a flight case). Thanks Mark
