  1. Northern Ireland is part of the UK so it's the same as posting to any part of the UK. Southern Ireland is a different matter as they are part of the EU.
  2. Do you mean PLI? If so try AmpBand. https://www.ampband.co.uk/public_liability_for_musicians.php
  3. Just get him to hit it harder and don't bother with the sub. Also, perhaps he could tune it better.
  4. But, how many who have played it, played it correctly?
  5. I couldn't get the old ones to stay in my ears either so never bothered. Are the new ones that much better? Thanks for the review.
  6. I've done it and I was happy with the result. There are many ways of doing it but the safest way is to just use sand paper. Start off with something like 60 grit and when you get it to where you want it, start using finer grades to make it really smooth. Finish the neck in your choice of finish. Oil, varnish or leave it as it is.
  7. I don't know which is louder but my 2x10 is truly amazing! keeps up with 2 guitarists and drummer no problem at all in all venues and even outdoors. It defies the laws of physics!
  8. The sockets can get dirty with no use and the amp can stop working. Using a short lead between the sockets can negate the problem.
  9. I bought one of those new in, surprisingly, 1972. Left handed, it cost me £220 in sunburst. I don't like sunburst but a solid colour would have been 10% extra and I couldn't afford it. I had to order it from my friendly, local music shop and when it eventually arrived, it was rubbish. Yes the neck was out of line and when straightened up, soon found its way back again. The bridge adjusted itself constantly and the neck was really thick and hard to play, for me at least. I was a tad disappointed. 1972 was not a good year for Fender!
  10. I'd love to try the vast majority of basses but being left handed, they just don't make them. But I live in hope.
  11. I've tried and use Newtone short scale strings. Just as good as their long scale. They are excellent! Just remember to go up a gauge if you don't want a floppy E string, because nobody wants that.
  12. Eleanor Rigby, 62 Stone, The Dolphin pub in Hastings, A bass I made through a Genz Benz Shuttle with Behringer BDI21 and Barefaced 2 x 10.
  13. They do look nice don't they.
  14. But with the doors closed you can't see them.
