  1. Glad to hear it all turned out well in the end. Poor service from the first establishment though Good looking guitar.
  2. Thanks chaps, will check out the suggestions.
  3. Quite fancy getting myself a Looper pedal. Being a complete newbie some recommendations would be most appreciated. My preference would be for something of good quality and easy to use.
  4. Very lush. I was working on a similar looking Balladeer for a customer yesterday, impressed with the quality but not so much with the dirt on the fret board.

    [quote name='MWH' timestamp='1490709729' post='3267258'] As I don't deserve anything better due to lack of talent, I got this mint Nevada for seventy quid off the 'bay' and dropped the Emg's in with a new wiring harness. It's been proffesionley set up which cost more than the original price. [/quote] From the pic that looks great
  6. Happy to recommend Chris as another one of the BC good guys. Deal with confidence.
  7. Have a good one Jack. We've played there a fair bit. It's an unusual one for us, some nights they can't get enough of the rockier numbers but on some occasions the rock stuff has cleared the dance floor and they want Disco/Soul. Our last visit there a few months back was eventful. One of the drunken punters decided dancing with one of the bar stools was a sound move, he was swinging it around (which cleared the floor quicker than the rock numbers) another punter stepped in to stop him and it didn't end well. The drunk was fine of course but the other fella ended up with his leg facing in the wrong direction and a bone poking out of the flesh
  8. Looks just right
  9. Shall I close the thread then, so that nobody else gets a look in
  10. I play fretless a lot at home but have yet to do so in public. Unless I join a different band that's not likely to change I'm still a relative newbie to fretless, I'm using an unlined f/b and really trying to get a feel for playing without looking at finger placement. It's beginning to pay off, intonation is improving and I'm enjoying it very much.
  11. Great, cheers, pm incoming.
  12. If it's still available could I have it? It's not to go on a project but to use as a template. Cheers, let me know what the postage is. All the best
  13. This is why our band don't get involved with these sort of events, not saying we don't do our bit for charity, we do but just not the sort where the real winner is the Landlord.

  15. I currently use a GK Fusion 500 with my SC, I'm very happy and GAS free.
  16. Etienne was a pleasure to deal with. Great comms, paid when he said he would and no messing about. I'm very happy to recommend him as an all round top chap, one of the good guys.
  17. They are very pokey little amps
  18. Truly lovely Andy, amazing work as always.
  19. [quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1489325635' post='3256022'] Thanks - I thought I was going a bit mad at first. Once I had the bridge off I thought "Aha, that's the culprit" Was glad it was an easy fix! Didn't want to face the prospect of getting a soldering iron anywhere near an untouched 64! [/quote] Yes, that is unnerving. Had to do some work on a sixties pick guard a while back, I was certainly sweating.
  20. Yes, I've encountered that at least it's a nice simple fix. Well done
  21. What a good looking rig. Bet the 64 sounds mighty fine through that.
  22. Ive worked on a couple of their P basses, once set up properly they played very well. For a budget instrument frets were good and all the hardware worked. The wiring and pots would be my first upgrade.
  23. [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1489198462' post='3255177'] Just seen this Gary. What a beauty. I won't need the Viagra tonight. [/quote] you probably won't mate, if you are looking at guitar porn at 2.14 am
  24. [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1488985622' post='3253506'] Personally i didnt like my BB2 much. Lovely cab, just didnt produce the tone i wanted. This was with a MB F1 head and also a GK MB800. I could quite easily have lived with it had i no other options, as it did a great job as far as volume goes and was so light, but it just felt very low end heavy to my ears. [/quote] I was lucky enough to buy Dave's cab and I liked it more than Dave did right from the off. I have to say though, that I like it even more now as it just seems to be sounding better each time I gig it. Not just my opinion either, it has been mentioned by band mates and other bass players in the audience.
