Outstanding job.

Distance Selling Regulations were withdrawn in June 2014, to be replaced by the Consumer Contracts regulations. These give you from the time you place the order unitl 14 days after your order is delivered to cancel the order. It seems to me that, providing Barefaced are efficient at turning around the order, under their one trial offer you are likely to have the cabs to try for a longer period than the statutory minimum, so it's not surprising to see them making a feature of it. In Barefaced's case, the offer also applies to cabs purchased direct from the factory, which you don't get from anything bought in a shop. I don't know of any other vendors or shops who exceed the statutory requirements in this way. Happy to be corrected. Disclaimer: I don't own and have never owned any Barefaced equipment, and can't be under any circumstances be described as a fanboy.

Perhaps the OP's guitarist is a fan of Venom. I think the bass player (Cronos?) used a half-fretted bass, frets up to about the 10th fret.

Or a urinal 🙂

Easier said than done. Since the UK brewing deal with the brand owners Asahi expired in November last year, some supermarkets no longer stock them and bottles are getting harder to find. Asda and Tesco's no longer stock them. Flensburger might be an alternative but the bottles are smaller so I don't know whether the seals are the same size.

The wiring of the OLP pickup is a bit weird - the 2 coils of the humbucker are each wired to a volume control. You'll probably end up re-wiring it or putting in a preamp.

I'm using my Walkabout Scout head with a 2x12 4Ohm EBS Neo cabinet. It's impressively loud and relatively portable, and sounds great with the EQ more--or-less flat. Any decent 2x12 should work well.

If someone has drawn on a whiteboard with a permanent marker, it's possible to draw over the top of it with a non-permanent whiteboard marker and then wipe the whole lot off. This might work on a lacquered or varnished piece of wood - maybe make up a test piece before trying it on the real thing?

Does anyone use a nut and bolt tto fix the bass hanger to the plank, rather than a screw? It might need a bit of relief on the wall side, but with a nylock nut there would be no danger of it coming undone or pulling out.

That's a great shot of Ray Laidlaw. Have a wonderful week.

I have one identical to that on my Bass Collection fretless. Adjustment of height and intonation is as Andy says. It is possible to use it with through-body stringing or with the string anchor points on the back of the bridge, so it should retro-fit without needing any more work. I never realised until now that there was lateral adjustment, Hellzero is right about the way it works. Every day is a school day here on basschat!

I'd just like to express my admiration for the mods willingness to keep this compelling thread alive despite it sailing pretty close to the wind a few times.

But those local musicians will no longer be available to perform, because they will not have the revenue stream from working in Europe that allows them to be musicians. Instead, they will be picking fruit and working in care homes.

Ten years might seem a short time to you, but it's more than the rest of my allotted biblical lifespan.

Blimey, Herne Bay must have gone up in the world. When I was growing up in Canterbury, Herne Bay was "the place where people go to die - and then don't!"

Needing a Carnet to take your equipment is going to be huge PITA in its own right.

Thanks to painstaking research carried out by the much-missed waynepunkdude, we know that a Marshall 810 will fit in a Vauxhall Corsa.

Left his guitar on the bus?

Shows how rare they are.

A TRB4P fretless though? Uber-rare.

It's in honour of Felixstowe's most famous bass playing resident.

You can probably achieve this with one of the Zoom multi-effects pedals. You probably also want some eq/gain so you don't get a volume increase/decrease when you turn it on. I have an MS-60B here sitting doing nothing - I can set up a basic patch for you to play with and post it to you for the duration if that helps. PM me.

It sounds like the old Peavey system we used to have in an old band. Passive subs with a crossover, linked to passive tops. 4Ohm each side, total load 2Ohm with everything plugged in. When you say 3-pin connectors, do you mean XLRs? These are not power connectors, neither are speakons. If they were powered there would most likely be a female IEC connector. Some pictures might help.
