  1. ...I played one once and it was a bit Warwick like in tone - mainly because of all the wenge in the neck.
  2. OMG these things are so sexy...
  3. Very unusual and seems in great nick. Thankfully I REALLY don't have the space and I agree about the price.
  4. I use Grooveshark - much better selection of house and dance music than spotify.
  5. Congratulations! I got engaged in July and the subject of wedding bands came up also at the jewellers. I've decided I'm going to design my own as I have all the tools. I just need to get hold of the wax tubes that jewellers use as starting blanks. No ideas yet for what the design will be but a pair of rings that connect or link somehow would be nice. I'm a bit wary of making the ring too thick in case it starts eating away at the fingerboard. I've seen similar damage repaired by Dan Erlewine on blues player Albert King's flying V (now owned by Steven Segal) from all his bling.
  6. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1421878720' post='2666247'] ...whilst wearing a jacket with the sleeves rolled up, and a mullet... [/quote] and a mustache
  7. [quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1421862209' post='2665947'] Volume3 means that lead gets soldered to tag #3 on the Volume pot. [/quote] Thanks! I may need to ask you about all the other shorthand too.
  8. I've just spotted that they have a circuit for a Wampler Black 65...hmmmmmm. Some of the shorthand instructions are a little hard to follow for the uninitiated, such as myself though, eg. volume3
  9. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1421843047' post='2665570'] My local amp tech has made a 1000w all valve bass amp. I want it. [/quote] Does it come with a hot plate and BBQ tongs?
  10. [quote name='adledman' timestamp='1421766192' post='2664712'] if still available i will be very interested in this. cheers. ad [/quote] PM'd
  11. I've used 2400 grit wet n dry on the neck of my spector. It can be reversed with some automotive cutting compound.
  12. I am a keen user (and unwitting promoter, it seems) of tiltback set ups. I started with two GK RB700 combos - great pieces of kit, apart from the castors disintegrating. They're all the amp anyone is likely to need. Having the cabs pointing directly up at me, rather than having the mids and highs blasting past my knees, was a revelation (especially with fretless). However I had to give them up after having back issues. I then went to a lightweight solution but noone at the time was making tiltback lightweight cabs. Stands were an extra item to carry and didn't prevent the cabs from walking while in use. I had a look at old Trace and SWR tiltback design cabs but wasn't too impressed by the specifications of either. However recently I've purchased a pair of fEARless F112 tiltback cabs and power them with GB shuttle 6.0's. Great solution so far although not cheap and I have yet to give them the full beans.
  13. How on earth has looking like an Edwardian farmer become so popular? Some of the beardier ones need to stand a bit closer to the clippers or risk looking like Brian Blessed parodies.
  14. Will probably take this to be repaired... Flump bump
  15. I'm a tax resident of two countries at the moment (NZ IRD are hanging on for grim death to any kiwis who leave to work overseas) and get hit at whatever the highest rate is (NZ at the moment). Charging VAT on where the purchaser is located seems to be an auditing minefield. How would either HMRC or the seller prove that the location used for calculating VAT was correct...? Also, given the purchaser will have their own tax residency and VAT/sales tax registration status, how does caliming back the VAT work out if the country they purchase in is different to the country they're registered for sales tax in?
  16. Apparently they burn hotter when cremated. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2154897/Dead-obese-woman-body-fat-set-building-cremation.html
  17. Heh, I was looking at that very ad last night...
  18. Bladerunner by vangelis for me also and anything written by Lalo Schifrin.
  19. If it was a Tony Goggle signature bass, that's where the volume pot would go for the neck LEDs. The brightness control for the pickups would be located on the headstock. Although after 1993 they perfected wireless technology enough that the brightness control could be located at the back of the room, on the bar counter by the Old Rosie tap.
  20. Apart from the distortion, I love how tight his bass sounds. But I'm a little biased...
