    I had an RBX375 and, apart from a fretboard to wide for me, I liked it very much. G.

    So. Which YOB bass could I get for 1947? G.

    Come on, Guys - what's wrong with these - used strings don't usually last 5 minutes on here!!!

    I don't have the bass but I have the Marquee/Marvin-based Double Six. I played an original of these back in the 60s and for me, this is a much better guitar. The original had a bar bridge, the new one has 12 intonatable saddles... The frets & finish, in general are impeccable. The body on these & I think the bass & the guitar share the same one, is pretty big - just about as big as a J Bass although being Agathis or whatever, isn't overly heavy: Personally, I'd fancy a 32" Marquee & put it through my MXR-80+, but that's just me!!

    It's always clockwise to tighten & anti-clockwise to loosen, no matter which end it's at!! G.

    I've currently got a set of Fender 9120 black nylon-covered. A bit stiffer & less 'rubbery' (no Chinese Restaurant jokes please!) than the Rotos & I like them a lot. G.

    Done - I'll PM you later. G.

    Have you tried Roto 55 Compressors? All right, green silk, but....... G.

    I recently bought PsychAndy's Yammy BB415, and passive, it was an excellent bass - but I like my actives, so I had Howard fit a U-Retro on it & a battery box, now a good bass is a great bass - in fact I jammed it the last two weeks at the Old Volunteer in Nottingham & there's a fair bit of interest in it & many compliments on the tone. As said above, go for thew JE first then decide. G.

    [quote name='lowdown' post='1228878' date='May 12 2011, 02:47 PM']Here is the long version with the refrain at the start. Written straight out - IE no key signature. Its in the written key F minor [Ab] Watch out for the key change at the chorus. [attachment=79698:STREET_L...Bass_Gtr.pdf] Garry[/quote] God! That's impressive!!!! Saved out of Firefox - many thanks.

    [quote name='EBS_freak' post='1228799' date='May 12 2011, 01:45 PM']I wrote some dots for this a long, long time ago for a band that never happened. I shall see if I have still got the folder.[/quote] many thanks. G.

    OK, on more research I've discovered that this is most likely a Peavey Scorpion. Comes in 2 parts - what's called the 'Basket, comprising of the frame, cone & coil, and the magnet which is kept on by 3 bolts. Remove bolts, lift of magnet, replace basket, coil & cone. But how/why/where/how much? Is there a Peavey dealer in Leicester or Nottingham? G.

    We have a pair of Peavey Eurosys 500 XT cabs. (Each driver is 250W @ 4 Ohm) One of the drivers is blown - it sounds like a fuzz - it looks like a Black Widow I've seen in pics on Ebay, but I'm not sure. There's a sticker saying it's already a replacement basket. I have no experience with these. Question: Is it only the basket that ever goes wrong with these & how much are the replacements? Does the coil element ever go wrong? If so, how could you tell which component is dud? Would I be better just replacing it with a 15" 4 Ohm 250(ish)W if I can find one? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks. G.

    [quote name='Doddy' post='1228324' date='May 12 2011, 01:24 AM']There is a lead sheet for it in The New Real Book Volume 1.[/quote] Can you maybe give me a pointer as to where I could source this? Ta!! G. - never mind, I see it on Amazon - £36!

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1227693' date='May 11 2011, 04:02 PM']They look sweet actually, but I don't have the time/patience for international delivery really. I hate having stuff sitting in a depot for two weeks while they finish their biscuits and get around to billing you.[/quote] I've bought a lot of stuff from GFS & Jay usually gets stuff to me in 4 - 5 days by airmail. Great stuff at the price - I recommend the "Texas Specials". G.

    [quote name='oldslapper' post='1227957' date='May 11 2011, 08:03 PM']Thanks to iPad and garageband, these are not being used. Nice little home recording package. Both in good condition and working fine except the MR8 doesn't have a battery compartment cover. Comes with 2GB flash card Come with PSUs for both. Instruction manual for the DR5 Web site spec for the Boss: [url="http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=115"]http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=115[/url] And the Fostex [url="http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/archive_products/MR-8.shtml"]http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/ar...ucts/MR-8.shtml[/url] Will be safely packed up.[/quote] I might be interested in the Fostex, but not the sequencer - might you split? G.

    Has anyone got tabs/chords/bass tab - anything - for this? There's only one tab/chord set around - it's on all the sites & it's nowhere near adequate. G.

    The early to mid Ibaneezes are known to be quite 'solid'. G.

    Not much point buying unless you can source the rest of the parts. G.
