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.

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

Great

We play pubs fairly regularly and don't play much in the way of Classic Rock. For tonight's rehearsal though, I need to learn Black Dog, Rock n Roll and Whole Lotta Love. We go with much more Disco, Soul and Pop as a rule. Sometimes I think about joining up with another band for when DefunkT are not busy but just about every ad I look at for players of my vintage, are for Classic Rock or even worse, guitar widdlers wanting to crank out Hendrix, Clapton, Gallagher etc at weekly rehearsals but to never actually gig.

I've had this problem a couple of times, the cure has been to spin the output socket around slightly so that it doesn't touch the foil.

Winging a Yes song

Pics are pretty good considering the circumstances

Good find, that looks lovely

Meant to also say, very nice, enjoy.

Love a Fender Tele. I seem to have aquired a couple of late.
