Correct.

If you search ebay for a template router bit you'll soon find what you'll need.

Laser cutting, mdf / ply or acrylic, gives the best finish of all without sanding and it's the right size.

You could then enter your pool of liquid acrylic for the Turner prize. You stand a good chance of winning!

Same as a blow torch / propane torch but burns hotter.

Or you could just use a MAP gas gun to flame polish the edges.

I use a headset mic so anything I reply gets heard by everyone. I try to make a joke out of it, seems to work quite well.

Overnight I believe.

Funny that should happen. Our guitarist uses one and it's stopped working a couple of times, the cure, put it the freezer. I'm not joking. Apparently the main chip locks up and freezing it makes it work again. It's free as well.

Not really a lot of good without the tube.

As I don't actually make any fine adjustments on my bass, either full on or full off, I just change the wires round on the pots so that they work clockwise. Works for me.

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1494659472' post='3297610'] I was an MU member back in my teens and always thought it was a good idea - till I had occasion to seek their help with a couple of dodgy situations - mostly with a couple of agencies. Bloody useless. I wound up thinking that the only thing the MU were interested in supporting were the pit players, orchestral players and film/tv players. Dumped my membership and never been back. "Keep Music Live" is a great old slogan, but they seem to think it only applies to the elite few. [/quote] This.

I bought a bass cabinet which turned up with no protection at all, just a label stuck to the outside. It actually arrived undamaged!

Before tuners it was tuning fork, pitch pipes, piano, wild guess?

At sound check and the beginning of each set unless I think it sounds out then I'll check it again, silently of course. Guitarist is another matter.

Our guitarist has one of those Fender cabs rotting away in his shed. Minus speakers of course.

You've all convinced me. I've just ordered one!

I put a dab of clear nail varnish on the tightened nut and thread just to be sure.

No strap buttons.

Superb amp. You'll love!

[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1489694335' post='3259079'] 1967, what a year. I left school, started work as an apprentice and met my first serious girlfriend. The summer of love, flower power, the Beatles ruled the world and Britain was the centre of the music universe. Anything and everything was possible. [/quote] +1 I was there and probably bought it. Missed out on the summer of love though!
