In their own minds? All of them! For me, the stand out guitarist who didn't get the respect he deserved is Nic Jones, especially from Bob Dylan.

Very nice bass but I think the price is fair rather than bargain. The last one on here went for £450, which was a bargain. This is a BB2004, neck-through, rosewood fingerboard and nice block inlays but not to be confused with the Nathan East signature BBNE2, which has 5 strings (there's no 4 string version) ebony fingerboard and very different pickups. Not sure how the electronics compare.

A Bose L1 system with at least one big sub will sound very lovely indeed, but it won't be cheap.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1506693036' post='3380480'] I would expect any sensible person to at least pencil something in on a date that has been enquired about. [/quote] That mostly works: where we've come unstuck is when we've given a lot of dates to a venue, and not heard anything back from them. You end up holding a lot of dates sometimes.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1506585309' post='3379663'] What level of IT ability is required for a drummer to operate this? [/quote] I see where you're going with this, and Paul would be disappointed in you! It still relies on IT-illiterates letting the band leader know when they're not available, (wheresthegig calls this setting blackouts). They'll also need to be able to read emails. The application sends out updates to all the players at a gig when an update is made, so you can cope with deps and use it if you're in more than one band.

We use www.wheresthegig.com to try and avoid situations like this.

[quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1506092061' post='3376437'] That's the first bass Collection 5'er i have seen with a P/J configuration. [/quote] I had one, I got it from psychoandy and traded it to skezza. I believe he still has it. Think it was a 415 - translucent red. Nice instrument, cant find the for sale thread.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1505431929' post='3371940'] I'd like to get a MIDI pickup (Roland GK-KIT-BG3 - the internally installed one) [/quote] You probably know this, but a GK pickup is not MIDI.

[quote name='Sparky Mark' timestamp='1504806508' post='3367497'] His 15 is 4 ohms already, so adding an 8 ohm cab won't work for the above mentioned reason. [/quote] Ah yes, missed that. Sorry n' all. Thanks for pointing it out.

If you're not going to use a crossover, I'd also try using one of the group buses for the sub, rather than from one of the Aux mixes, which would then need to go through a power amp. You'll get a full range signal either way but the subs wont care, and you won't use up one of your Aux mixes.

A 1U power amp with 2 x 4Ohm channels and a pre-amp?

[quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1504762700' post='3367068'] See if someone will swap your 15 for an 8 ohm cab? [/quote] He needs to keep the 15 and swap the 10 for an 8 ohm cab, to give a combined load of 4 ohms.

[quote name='Steve Browning' timestamp='1504531217' post='3365467'] I used to play with Dave Mattacks [/quote] We are not worthy! We used to mike up drums so that the guys with in-ear monitors could hear them, even if we didn't need it FOH.

Jason, I've got one of the Chamsys MagicQ basic USB-DMX , PM me an address and I'll post it to you if I can find it.

Thats a great looking bass, well done for finding it and rescuing it. Some of the gold fittings on my 465 have tarnished a bit, mostly the machine heads - bridge is OK and the knobs have been replaced.

Phantom power is frequently 48V DC - is it possible you were over-powering it, and it has some kind of voltage protection circuit?

Duesenberg Star Bass, I love mine.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1503932290' post='3361637'] "Strange request for a bass day :-) but yes certainly. If it's just fitting it will be around £20-25. Extra to string and set up to play." Shall I let him know you'll be there avec le Banjo? [/quote] Yes please, and in the meantime I'll try and get the old 5th string peg out. No need for strings and setup. Thanks for your help Nik.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1503747124' post='3360665'] [b]Ian Robinson, luthier[/b] Ian has kindly offered to come along again this year and do set ups and other techy stuff on the day. In order to make it worthwhile for Ian to come up for the day from the south coast for the day, it'd be good if he had an idea of any work that anyone might need. So, if there's anything that you need done on a bass, guitar, mandolin etc, please could you post up a request here so Ian knows what kit to bring up with him. Thanks! [/quote] If Ian would be up for replacing a set of friction tuners on a 1920's 5 string banjo with some geared tuners that would be awesome. I have the banjo and the replacement parts. He'll need a violin reamer and a 9.5mm (3/8") drill.

I have Delanos and a Nordstrand pre-amp in my SB465. It's a monster, particularly the one in the neck slot.
