[quote name='NickD' timestamp='1473449578' post='3130415'] I might have to be a tentative for this now. My re-re-rescheduled surgery is now scheduled for this coming Monday (I almost got out of it again with the doctors strike though), and I'm not supposed to drive for 2 weeks afterwards. It's going to be a cracking day, and if I'm anywhere close to capable I'll be there. [/quote] Hope it goes well Nick

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1473434805' post='3130241'] Gary, so sorry to hear that. Surely a pleasant day out amongst like minded folks (albeit sans heavy gear) would be a perfect spirit raiser, release endorphins and promote more rapid healing...? Worth a try with Mrs Mac... [/quote] I like your thinking, now if I could just get her to drive me around the M25, all would be good

I can only comment on the Fender Rumble. I've had my one eight years now and it has been used most days. No problems, crackly pots or anything to complain about. Can get a decent tone out of it and more than enough volume for home use. Simple but efficient eq section, aux in and head phone socket, make it a good choice.

Think I was tempted by that one myself

I was very much hoping to come along this year but recovery from recent surgery has been a bit slow and my wife is refusing to let me out to play

Glad to hear that you are happy. I'm going to move this thread to the amps/cabs forum.

A couple of months back I was playing a wedding gig in a cow shed. The sound I was hearing from my very good rig was just awful, I hated it and I know from past experience, that it can be a confidence zapping experience. Thing is though, I know the sound out front was good, no one else was worried and the dance floor was full.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1473144469' post='3127246'] I'm still looking forward to doing a gig where I couldn't tell you the names and home address of all those in the audience. Guess what I ticked. [/quote] Brilliant Rich, you gave me my first proper laugh of the day, thanks

Festival gig to around 1,500 or so

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1473013876' post='3126077'] Aye it was a bit of an article, wasn't it! [/quote] It was but an enjoyable one. Also, love the Peterbuilt, what a looker

[quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1473001899' post='3125911'] My 65p with my B15n getting all Jameson.... [/quote] Looks cool. Lovely dark fret board

Chris Squire made a Fender J sound just like his Ric

Wife was out this evening and I spent a fair bit of it watching Yes on You tube. It was a good evening

Handsome

I'm not sure, not being much of a pedal user but hi, haven't seen you about for a while Hope you are well.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1471281516' post='3111793'] Something I didn't tell Lee before sending the bass, was there's a small token of personalisation on the headstock. Lee, said in another thread, how the bass he sold was one christened by his daughter as "the Family Stone bass", as their family name is Stone. So I took the liberty of customising another well known logo and adding that to the headstock. Thankfully Lee likes the addition. I was just a little unsure about doing it. [/quote] Love it, that looks great Rich.

Well done Hugh and Hugh's luthier friend A happy ending.

Yes, very sad.
