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!

Highest - The Laughing Gnome. Lowest - everything else.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1489570064' post='3257934'] I saw a TV program and they put 4 different makes of battery into model cars and ran them until they stopped. In this test the Duracell batteries did not last as long as Lidl's own! I have always used Duracell but that just seems to demonstrate the power of advertising. Lidl batteries? Seems I need to try some of those. [/quote] It was on shop well for less. Interestingly, the Duracells they used were branded, 'Simply Duracell'. I recon that they are a cheaper, less powerful, Duracell than the usual ones and if they'd used power plus of ultra power then the results may well have been a bit different.

Life of preamp valves is years.

All gold tuners and body as is, black and gold.

[quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1488821934' post='3252098'] Hi, we've got the Soundcraft Ui16 and have just started doing this via a simple foot pedal (has to be a non-latching one) - just plug it in to the appropriate orifice - turns all the effects on and off on all channels ( for a less spacey between sound for natter/raffle/parked card announcements...) [/quote] That's what I wanted to hear, most excellent! Thanks.

You may well get away with no duties. I've ordered many things from china costings the same as this or more and they've turned up on my door step just like normal post with no extra to pay.

You could spend a lot less quids and buy some glasspaper and re-shape the baseball bat more to your liking.

I'd try fine wire wool and then T cut.

Been there and done that! Copydex is your friend. I put an equal amount on the opposite side of the speaker as well just to balance things up, just in case.

I was interested until I read that the speakers were not included!
