Another purchase from Gav and the usual excellent service.

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1413030513' post='2574330'] When I later moved to Tenerife and needed a new amp I bought an Ashdown! [/quote] Sorry, bit of a thread hijack but did you get to play much in Tenerife. I'm a regular visitor to the Gigantes/ Puerto Santiago area and wondered if I had seen you. I've also sometimes had thoughts of moving out there and doing a bit of playing to pay the rent.

Very sorry to hear this Pete. Hope you have some other interest to keep you occupied until your situation improves.

You don't need to solder if you use a tape with conductive adhesive

If you are still able to borrow an amp for gigs, then maybe put up with doing that for a while longer, whilst saving a little more dosh. Might be some more bargains around just after Christmas, when people are strapped for cash and less competition with the bidding on Ebay.

Ouch that looks a tad savage

Great work. Good to see the baton is still out there and raising money.

Nige, after watching the vid this morning and seeing her fretting hand technique I was going to post and ask you if she played bass.

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1413203703' post='2575768'] I did the first gig the other night where the pub made us buy our own drinks !!! We got a great crowed in an otherwise empty pub , won't be playing there again . [/quote] You must have it good on the island, not many venues supply us with drinks. I've taken to taking my own along (non alcoholic)

The BB1200's were superb. I had one that was my main gigging bass for a lot of years.

Nice one Mark. My 80's G&L has been my regular gigging bass for the last four years. Love it. Yet to find a more powerful passive instrument. Hope you enjoy your one as much mate.

I like everything about this. Such an interesting, absorbing mix of styles/influences. Really enjoyed listening to this Nige.

A jolly fine choice.

I regularly gig a Genz Shuttle 6 and have been very happy with it. Have used the DI out on a few gigs and it has always been very good.

[quote name='planer' timestamp='1412405218' post='2568599'] Mr Brightside by The Killers, I've been having a tinker with this on my own this week, and played it with the boys last night, a good fun song. [/quote] That one seems to always go down well. We haven't played it in a while but I would like to see it back in the set.

Love the look of that one Daniel,

Have a good one matey.
