I bought Lawrie's Aguilar cabs - great deal, smooth transaction, very nice chap to deal with. Ted

Charvel seem to have a few options that look like Les Pauls, 25.5" scale http://www.charvel.com/guitars/index.php?partno=2932011571

i'd also like to recommend http://www.surreyamps.co.uk

i'm curious too, i've got the flashback delay.

looks interesting, i'll check it out, thanks

what do you use for backing when you want to practice over a specific set of chords ? I'm using logic studio but its not great for putting chords down easily (as my piano playing is hopeless) so I end up with terribly dull backing. for example, can I buy sample banks of well played progressions that are editable? or is there a fancy little app? what works for you?

I just bought one here for £29 inc post, its nice quality, quite thick.

matt bought a set of pickups from me. great deal, speedy payment, excellent comms. cheers, ted

for anyone interested, i now have the 32" scale bass back with the '62 fender pickups installed. it sounds good, better than before! BUT... my 34" JV p-bass still sounds better! hard to describe but it just has a richer tone, more resonant, more woody. i am surprised there is still so much difference, it must be down other factors - wood and scale length i suppose.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1365701809' post='2043255'] A little bit late, but for future reference:- You can't solder directly to a pot casing, you need to 'rough up' the surface you intend to solder on with a little bit of sandpaper or the like before you start. Once you've done that, you hold the soldering iron flat against that prepared area and melt the solder onto it. That'll give you (hopefully) a neatly flown pool of solder. Tin the wire you want to connect, reheat the pool and push the wire into it. Hold it perfectly still and don't be tempted to blow it to cool it down artificially. A 15W iron is a little small for the job and LF solder isn't what I'd use from choice, but it's not impossible. [/quote] tried to do exactly that after having watched several youtube vids. roughed it up ok, but just couldn't get the solder to melt. i gave up before i did any damage as it was stressing me out too much! charlie turned it around in a day for £25 which was money well spent i reckon!

ah ha! i think it actually says 10u? its quite hard to make out

i gave up. took it to charlie chandler's this morning for a proper job
