They still should Karl. Let us know if rules have been broken.

That does sound like a fine deal. Shall I, shan't I.........maybe

What a shame, after all your efforts. All the best to Chris and you Mick. Let's look forward to a bigger and even better bash next year.

My fender Rumble has been excellent for home practice. Well built, decent sound quality and so far has proved very reliable.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1494934671' post='3299681'] Same here - Servisol is the one for me. Maybe it's worth contacting them if you, like me, find the lack of tubes vexing. The company's called CRC [email protected] Maybe we could raise it as an election issue...."Britain's not going down the tubes" [/quote] Cheers for that

I didn't know that they weren't doing the tubes anymore. Doesn't make sense, like you, I use the tube just about every time. I hesitated to spend out the dosh on Servisol the first time but have to say, it was money well spent. I would take a lot of persuading to try a different product now. Use it just about every day. Today it's already been used on a P bass and an old Pacifica that I'm servicing.

Despite me having a fairly serious chest infection, a good one for us last night in Hertford. If it hadn't been for a hefty dose of Steroids, I don't think I would have been able to do it. A sofa day today.

I love repairing valve amps but they need to be treated with respect. A capacitor discharger is a very useful bit of kit.

In the first instance I would live with it for a few days. The humidity and temperature in your place might be very different to that of its previous home.

The new date is my daughter's birthday, so unfortunately I'm going to have to give the bash a miss this year.

I tune up just prior to sound check and then again at half time and that's it.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1494088541' post='3293188'] Fingerless gloves are the way forward for outdoors shows. I once played at a bonfire night event which was outdoors, being Novemeber it was a bit nippy; I've kept fingerless gloves in my gig-bag since. [/quote] I've done exactly this

Another social club gig, left me feeling a bit fed up with it all really

I did one last week, if it had been a job I was charging for, it would have been around £30

It sounds rather lovely.

Better stop hanging around here then mate and get cracking. Congrats, well done and good luck.

Loois like you've done a great job there, like it.

Yes I'm a G&L fan too. My gigging bass is an old 80s SB1. Will look forward to seeing the pics.

I've been hankering after an LB100 for a while now. Are you generally happy with it?

Nice one, hope you enjoy. Like you, I've recently found myself in guitar territory and it's a whole new and ever expanding GAS inducing nightmare.

I haven't played a Ric in years but yesterday I was working on one, giving it a set up and new strings. Once I had finished, couldn't resist running through a few CS bass lines, Long Distance Runaround, Starship Trooper and Perpetual Change. I had fun

MB1 to the rescue
