[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1320522351' post='1428020'] Never while playing. Have snapped one when changing strings at home by absent-mindedly turning tuner in wrong direction until string snapped! What a stupid git. [/quote] Same here and I felt such a twat, even though I was the only one to witness it.

Yes, I experienced the same thing, although can't recall if it was the same note, at a depp gig back in the summer, playing on a wooden band stand. it was a sscarey moment

I suspect that your diagnosis is correct, I'm sure that was the same problem I had with the jazz bass that I had a few years back. Rectified fairly easily, if you can solder or have a friend who can. Sorry don't know any guitar techs in your neck of the woods, but I'm sure someone will be along soon, who does.

Truly lovely looking vintage loveliness there Rick. I'm sure you won't have any problem selling that on. There is obviously not the same love for vintage amps/cabs as there is for instruments, seeing that your post has been here for well over twelve hours and I'm the first to post.

Get some pics up then........go on go on go on

So sorry Darren. Given the level of customer service that I received in my dealings with you and Chris and I know other Bass Chatters also received, your business deserves to survive and prosper.

Handsome beast, nice one Nick. Agree with you about the pick guard and agree with WOT about the case, they belong together. Hope you enjoy your time together.

Welcome, hope you enjoy the site.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1320176776' post='1423443'] Well I suppose you could buy one what I meant is a LONG straight edge, like a 24"/2'/60cm steel rule to lay along the top of the frets [/quote] Sorry John, thought we were talking about using a short straight edge for rocking to and fro, spanning three frets.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1320160931' post='1423120'] Probably a reference to the [size=7]~[size=4] shape caused by the truss rod, so the last few frets 'kick' up a bit. [/size][/size] [size=7][size=4]Have you got a 2' steel rule or similar straight edge to lay along the frets & check?[/size][/size] [/quote] If you don't have a short steel rule, at a push a credit/debit card isn't a bad substitute

Hi Clive. My daughter is selling an Orange 50watt combo that can be used with an extension cab. it's in the sale forum.

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1320081081' post='1422069'] are your cabs the traveller or standard series thanks [/quote] My cabs are the standard series.

Don't think you'll be needing my help then How good is that? The man who played it originally offering to help you, got to love Bass Chat. If he gets it wrong let me know and I'll do the corrections. Welcome to the forum Stu.

I use two Mark Bass 2 x 10" cabs. Been very happy with the performance, certainly bassy enough. Versatile set up. For quieter gigs and rehearsals I just take one of them.

Feel for you. There are some orrid little scrots sharing our space.

I received a copy as a pressie last year. It's has been extremely useful. If, like me you are interested in doing your own set ups and general bass tinkering, then it's money well spent.
