I'm trying to put the original pre back into my Yammie TRB-5 (original model). It's made up of two boards connected by a 6 core ribbon cable. Now, I'm OK at basic stuff, but I ham-fistedly managed to rip the contacts of the ribbon out of the board, and, to be honest, fixing this is too fiddly for me and it's beyond my capabilities. Is there any kind samaritan out there with this kind of skill willing to put it back together for me? I'd be happy to award a financial incentive for the work done/Man's time etc. etc. Please PM me if you can help, and get a TRB-5 back to work. G.

Tesco is doing 'JOHN MARTYN - Sweet Little Mystery - The Essential' for £3. Well worth it. Doesn't say on the sleeve notes who played the fretless - no doubt someone here will tell us. Lovely subtle fretless stuff, though. G.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1383741334' post='2268353'] looking at the state of those cabs you might do better selling pristine looking drivers..... [/quote] Yes, admittedly a bit dusty, but they aren't now!! The big cab still looks a bit better than the little one, though. G.

I.ve just ordered the Genz Benz NX2-212T to replace the two 15" cabs I currently own. Here's a pic of them looking dusty in my workshop a few years ago, sheltering under my MAG400: The smaller cab is a standard sound re-enforcement type and contains an Eminence Kappalite 3015 Full Range - currently going on Ebay for £190-ish. It needs a little EQ-ing to work well in this cab, but it does, and it's loud. The lower cab was a custom build (not by me) and contains an Eminence Deltalite 2515 - Ebay £150-ish. Although not built specifically for this driver, the Deltalite's parameters match the volume of the cab pretty well and it certainly produces a lot of bottom end. Now, when the GB arrives (approx. 2 weeks) these will be redundant and I'd want to move them on. Question: should I sell the cabs or just the drivers? The Kappalite has been gigged about 6 times and the Deltalite only twice - they are barely broken in. I'd be offering the drivers at about 2/3 the new price. Or should I sell the whole kit & caboodle (Kaboodle?)? G.

Got an email this morning telling me they are out of stock but are getting more in at the end of next week. That's OK - no hurry here. G.

Aren't they all school kids anyway? G.

I've just ordered one. G.

Wow!!! Do they do a fiver? G.

...and a greater innovator. RIP G.

I had this kind of prob about 20 years ago & ended up being diagnosed with sarcoidosis - I sincerely hope you have something else as a prob. Get well soon. G.

Usually ebony - being an oily wood, doesn't need oiling. G.

Just had Uncle Horrid 'do' me an unlined fingerboard on my BBG5 - absolutely fabulous!!!! G.

As above - I'm recording it. G.

If I had a band, Rich, I would, but.... G.

LaBella, I've just done it, but they take a while to arrive from the US. G.

I suppose, come the time, I'll have to get one & try it. Don't need to change at the moment though. G.

Guy's a shyster (IMHO) - he's been doing this for years. G.

Nice to see you back, Jon. G.

Loved it, Nige - not usually my bag of stuff, but it doesn't matter here - I just loved it. All the best with it & health to enjoy!! G.
