  1. Even mrs mac commented on the tone of your T-Bird I am tempted by this.
  2. Venue: The Golden Lion. Hoddesdon. Herts. 2 p.m. start. The aim: To raise a whole load of money for the The Great Ormond Street, Children's Hospital. It's bigger and will hopefully be even better this year, with a large stage, pro sound system and DJ (Disco Stu). The first band, Pat and the Butchers, is being billed as a "Super Group", which I've somehow blagged my way in to on bass . This will be followed by three very talented, popular local bands: Homegrown and friends. The Bonnet. The Ding Dangs. There's a raffle, with some great prizes, donated by local businesses. It's free entry, food is available, the pub will be serving. I believe there is also a bbq and ice cream van. Looks like the weather is going to still be good for Sunday, so it should be a great day.
  3. Off to investigate. I'm keen to try out a LB100.
  4. I'm sure you'll get there with it. I had used Mark Bass cabs for years and it took me a fair few gigs and eq adjustments to get the best out of the SC.
  5. I use a SC with a GK Fusion 500 and usually get a sound that I'm very happy with. It has most definitely improved with use and seems to respond extremely well when driven quite hard.
  6. Nice and the amp parked on top looks very cool.
  7. Great result.👍 I have a F310, bought it new about twenty years back, the plan being to get a better acoustic a year or so later. Never did though and I still really rate it.
  8. Very happy to recommend Tomas. As soon as I had paid, the item was in the post and with me the following morning. Got to say, here's a chap who knows how to package an item for maximum protection.
  9. What an amazing looking instrument and wife
  10. Agree with Graham and Big Red, if the pocket is cut correctly then there are no problems with three bolt fixings. I have an old eighties G&L SB1 with the three bolt fixing and neck tilt, there are no stability issues at all.
  11. Which is exactly what the OP tells us in the first post.
  12. I think my first course of action would be to try an application of switch cleaner on the selector.
  13. No worries. Pleased that it turned out to be such a worthwhile upgrade.
  14. Hope it goes well and the shoulder doesn't give you too much grief.
  15. Agree with @Golats I've yet to play a bad Yamaha budget instrument.
  16. A band that notice how the bass sounds You need to stick with them Discreet.
  17. They weren't actually that bad but to achieve the low action that was required, there were four or five that needed levelling off and then crowning.
  18. I set up and did some fret work on a customer's Squier Affinity P last week. I would have happily gigged it, once those works were completed.
  19. Well I think it's a fun idea and one we should embrace and try with some other bands/bassists.
  20. I use logarithmic pots these days for tone, even though many recommend linear.
  21. Just half an hour ago I finished stringing up a customer's Martin acoustic with D'Addario EJ16s. I like the feel and sound of them, great string and readily available. Their Nickel Bronze strings are also very good.
