  1. That's a bit sad, I remember meeting it at a Moffat bass bash.
  2. Yes, I wonder if they'll do a 5er. I was searching for Sqoe headlesses and happened across a webpage about headlesses which was obviously written by an imbecile. If you want a laugh (Fender being a leading manufacturer of headless basses, headless basses having short string length, headless basses mostly being cricket bats, and many other examples of complete ignorance) have a look at https://www.bassox.com/headless-bass-guitars/
  3. Cracking amps. I kept mine when I sold the BB2 and went to a combo, and it's getting used with a BC house jam microcab 6" cab now. I thought mine might have got hot and shut down (I was wrong, it was the 4x10 cab I had at the time blowing a speaker or two) and Thomas Eich helped me with fitting a small fan inside which the later Puma 900s have. I don't think it was necessary, as it turns out.
  4. Having finally restored my morale sufficiently to attack the bolt with a Dremel (it succumbed quickly enough once I decided to not be a wuss and whack the thing up to full speed), and refinished the back where I put the corner protector screw holes in the wrong place, I now have the task of putting the speaker in again. I think one other T-nut didn't want to thread up properly so I shall check them all. This does leave me with the problem of the knackered one, as my endeavours to extract the bolt have basically cut a moat around the hole so I'm not sure that there's anything for a replacement T-nut to bite on at the moment. Would Araldite, the goddess of mending things, work? And if so, smear it over and into the moat and let it cure before putting the T-nut in, or fix the T-nut in place using it?
  5. It seems a lot of work to go to to rescue a body, especially if it's plywood.
  6. Do I sense a "name the cab and get a free one" competition in the offing? 😁

  8. So, rather than my real life situation, in this fantasy world I'd opt for a Lekato wireless and an MS-60B, the same as I have in my little bag, as I've got less than an hour and I've got to knock up a suitable patch without the benefit of ToneLib on the PC.
  9. What are the fretboard extensions above the zero fret for? Bendwell? I've got an EHB1265MS which I haven't put the ramp on, and I've now taken the ramp off my Sei Flamboyant - it didn't seem to be of any benefit to me.
  10. That's all very well for you young people, if I had to try to pick up a plectrum from the floor I'd never manage to get up again.
  11. Shame that "Krankie goes to Holyrood" breaks the rules. Fucus (or, at the cost of a Hard Stare, Mucus)
  12. Well, the rusty old van was a Jag estate and there weren't any talent scouts, and there wasn't a massive music store across the road. But I did forget my pedalboard, and hadn't bothered bringing my little bag with an MS-60B and Lekato wireless, so I just had to plug the bass into the amp...
  13. Great for the wealthy professional gigging musician, an utterly extravagant waste of money for home practice as the OP wants.
  14. What would be the purpose of that bit of wood at the neck heel filling in a hole where one might expect to find a truss rod adjuster on some instruments?
  15. Wouldn't a broken coil on a P result in it not producing any sound at all? Looking at the circuit for the tone control on a P, a shorted capacitor seems the more likely culprit.
  16. Nothing for bass - I very rarely use a plectrum and keep a couple in my wallet. For guitar, I have a (black) pick holder stuck to the front of my (black) Variax 300 to hold my (black) plectrums but haven't done anything for the JTV59 yet as I'm a bit more wary of detracting from its appearance.
  17. Dad - classical, primarily orchestral, a little jazz (not sure if there was much apart from Grapelli and Menuhin) and the odd bit of comedy (Gerard Hoffnung, Peter Sellers, Flanders and Swann). Mum - didn't have many records, what she did have were Beatles, Freddie and the Dreamers that sort of thing. So there was a severe lack of influence (apart from the comedy).
  18. I'm another one with the Lekato WS-50 (the 5.8GHz one) bought from AliExpress. It works well - I use it for rehearsals and open mic nights, and on gigs where I'm not using a pedalboard (the pedalboards have externally powered wirelesses on them). The supplied charging lead has a forked end and two USB plugs so both bugs can be charged simultaneously from one charger.
  19. Would the Beatles have got back together years after splitting up just to record this?
  20. "This here's Boot Hill. Many men are buried here - some 'cos they were good, some 'cos they were bad, but all 'cos they were dead".
