Right, let's put this issue to bed. Do we all agree that a Polytune pedal is white? It's cream. And loud

That middle pic with the organ pipes behind you, what a great backdrop.

Vote for repair. Headstock repairs done well are stronger than they were before the break. There are many vintage instruments out there with repairs and it doesn't seem to affect the potty prices they go for

Right, for all you amp geeks I took the lid off yesterday: All looks compact and bijou in there. If it goes pop then I guess it'll just go pop though - looks a lot closer to the definition of "no user serviceable parts inside" than my old Hartke HA3500

Would it be possible to stop going to the last unread post when tapping on the thread titles? This behaviour is inconsistent with the full site where clicking on the title takes you to the beginning of the thread. It's really annoying to have to scroll back to the top when I expected to get the start of the thread. The star/dot at the beginning of the thread title should perform this function, and a link referencing the last poster should take you to the end.

Another vote for Neotech straps here.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1332076104' post='1582796'] The lack of tone change when I pan suggests that the bridge pickup may not be outputting at all. The bridge pickup is about 2.5mm from the strings so it's fairly close anyway. [/quote] But surely if you pan all the way round to the bridge pickup and it's not working at all then all you would get is silence? Unless the pan pot has a limited range? Dunno - I think I have exhausted my usefulness

Wow, 4 pages and only 3 mentions for Gibson (and only one of those is Gibson as an entire brand). I think just about everyone deep down has a secret hankering for one

Sounds like 2 problems here - bridge pickup quiet (maybe raise it up a bit towards the strings?) and are they wired correctly? If they're out of phase then they'll have the effect of cancelling each other out, and I might be speaking rubbish here but if the bridge pickup was louder then it would have a more pronounced effect on the volume when they're mixed.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1331989477' post='1581779'] Be careful with this...... it's only the Neutrik [b]NLJ2MD-V [/b]that allows you to do this. Most manufacturers do no use this as standard as it's an expensive socket. You could end up with a jack plug stuck in a Speakon socket if you are not careful [/quote] No danger with this, the hole in the middle is too small to even think about accommodating a 1/4" jack

I guess I've never felt drawn towards pointy basses (BC Rich and the likes). Never felt compelled to get anything with more than 5 strings, and even then I've only ever owned one 5 string (which I sold). But apart from that, I'll try anything once. Not fussed for Fenders, but I have owned Squier P and J before, so I can't really say I've never wanted to own one - I must have at some point

Nah, another cost saving - it's a speakon only

[quote name='Budgetneil' timestamp='1331928079' post='1581166'] Ta for the review - my interest bad been pricked by the description on the G4M website but real world feedback is useful to calm "too good to be true" fears. I've got a couple of questions: How many speaker sockets are on the head? If more than one, is it possible to connect up an extension cab with the head still in the combo and connected to it? Cheers in advance. [/quote] There are 2 speaker sockets, 1 jack and 1 speakon. The speaker in the combo uses the jack socket. I haven't got a speakon equipped cable so I haven't been able to test this yet. Further complication is that my only 8 ohm cab has no speakon inputs, so I would need an even less useful speakon to jack cable. I presume it would be possible, after all one of the attractive possibilities is putting a 1x10 extension underneath the main box to form a modular 2x10. Anyone nearby able to help me out with a test? Either a shottie of a speakon > jack cable or a speakon equipped 8 ohm cab?

Not played huge places but so far I've not needed more than 350W into a 4 ohm 4x10. Like, turned up to 4. I hope that by the time I have an ego that requires an 8x10 then I'll have a roadie or two to put it in place

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1331826717' post='1579563'] There's a lot of people like yourself who list the gear they use in the signatures so a browse through a selection of threads in this forum and the general Bass Guitars forum should reveal plenty. However I have something which IMO is far important in my sig - a link to my music. [/quote] Ugh, this sounds a bit "holier than thou" I have both, for what it's worth. I guess that just means I take up an annoying amount of space. With that in mind, have a font size reduction and losing one line

In a pinch, an appropriately sized Torx driver (if it exists) can maybe push into whatever corners are left if it's not too far gone. I've used a T27 to move a 5mm stripped hex before - point to point it's 4.99mm.

Stick to facts and it can't be libellous. Keeping it updated will be the challenge. I don't think including fees is a good idea, I'm sure it changes from band to band and from promoter to promoter, and is a private matter in any case.

If I was the seller then I would be ok with the request, but I'd be the one doing the dismantling and testing. It's still mine until the money changes hands after all.

Do you mean this one? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130663266551"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130663266551[/url]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1331723298' post='1577622'] Too right. It's a shame that it's becoming Unobtainium. [/quote] Yup, I'm getting an "in before the lock" feeling about Neodymium also

I can confirm that the DI is post EQ. Now that I've got it hooked up to the USB interface I suppose I should record something...
