police squad

I have an ongoing back condition and have gigged propped up on a bar stool. It works very well and is surprisingly comfortable. Some people even ask how my back is, when I see them outside of the gig Do what you have to, to keep playing, I don't think anyone is really that bothered Axl and Dave Grohl have gigged sitting down haven't they

I'll try the pyramids/hofner then I think

I did a gig a couple of weeks ago and they only had enough 'cash' in the till to pay us. The doorman only got half his fee but they promised to make it good te following day. Landlady wasn't about (unusually, this is a well run place) and they couldnt get in the safe. They were moaning that people just mainly use cards these days and not cash. I can see a time where we may have to start taking credit card payments via these iZettle terminals etc, which measn the money will be tracked and prices will go up because of having to pay tax on it (not bothered as I declare my gig earnings anyway)

do they only come in one gauge? How do tey feel tension wise. The la bellas I have are stiff but they take detuning a semi tone really well

Trace Elliot BLX-80. Usually with my JMJ Mustang, if I'm learning stuff.

Cool, I shall try a set of the hofner strings then. The C/T is slightly bigger isnt it Yes i have a nice thin neck on mine and as you say, edges nicely rolled too. I have no side dots, which I think is normal for 64, might use a sharpy

I use the EVP powered stuff from about 2009 for a couple of years, they sounded fine and weren't expensive but they were quite heavy. Mine were 1x15 plus horns and I added the 1x15 subs too. But the weight did for me and I went QSC

ah yes, I can see that now. I've managed to unseize my pot but I know it's wired wrong, so my next job is to have a look at that I'm getting sound but have no volume control from either pot atm. It may be because I know the seized one is wired wrong. I'm no good with electrics but I have a couple of chaps at work that are very good, I'll show it to them. Do you gig yours then? I'm planning to gig mine and what strings do you use. My CT has Labella deep talking flats, fairly high tension and work well detuned half a step (most of my dep gigs are detuned half a step) and stupidly I moved on a spare set that I had unopened

this Ashdown RM200 combo is on ebay in Kingston upon thames (i'm not the seller) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156152191145?itmmeta=01HTPGYZ1NR4HSB7EKD9XX6FAX&hash=item245b6558a9:g:hNMAAOSwhZtl1x5a&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwDWu0gWsJXGzjkX96LxfjQuPZcuixL6Tw9XUf%2Fw2jeR0XX8R6VElxns3gmOVEyphjkUVwIRuYyK1gaJyPn7ZD6XfSEKkOgleRtNpxLpo8xqjWXMj86NqvAFavPbMqvtHMAlhCfBx4KUywmn2CyF51DhPr%2FlDjPKdR2EfZH8S92tj4L%2Br5zTD%2Bfjyrqn9agRIQ87G7aXdxsFZ%2BXfxOi9%2FwSfdwJdKYWnFm%2F2NcGFALxatCF5L5rrgHH3k7c9wr6nTWg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_Lw-9DVYw

that's a beauty. Are they rugby ball tuners on yours?

we all know IEM is a no brainer, bass guitar also sounds much nicer too. Good luck with it, bass is great. Let us know how the ws90 performs

I do 2x1 hour sets with a 20-30 minute break and havent had any problems with it dying. I stick it on charge when I get home and it's ready to rock I also only use it to stop treading on cables, as a duo we play in some tiny places, so IEM, guitar and mic are all wireless now

the 90 has longer battery life, according to the blurb 5.6 ms latency as opposed to <6ms. range is 30 meters compared with 100 meters of the 50. I havent even gone into the next room, so no idea on that

I've been using the WS50 since last year and have had no problems with it. No latency issue or dropout. I'm not very far from the receiver, it's on the floor plugged into my multifx. It was less than 50 quid and I have done about 50 gigs with it now

Yes I still have my PF500. I used it for 7 to 8 years and it was fabulous. I now use the Ashdown RM500 evoII. It is also fabulous. I keep the ampeg as a spare but as I'm more and more thinking of going straight into the desk via a preamp pedal, I'm not sure I need all this gear!! wow, I've just looked at the new price for a PF500 £599 from PMT (also £448 from giggear). Mine was £314 new 12 years ago

these are the best ideas

Hi mate, I have the book too. The body stamp inside is 15 Jan 1964, so defo a '64. i fancied an artist model too but plumped for this at a little over artist money. I have a CT jubilee which I like too but this is totally different. This thing is so playable

sounds similar to a precision, which I like

look forward to a listen mate

looks lovely I almost bought a double neck, it was white. What does it sound like?

I recently collected this piece, having won it in a proper auction. It could be a very late '63 but is more probably very early '64 as it doesn't have the raised logo. It's a feather weight, as it's hollow. One volume control is seized but I'm going to try and take it apart and repair it. It needs a tuner ferrule and a screw for one machine head I've plugged it in and it has that sound. I may name it Paul, after my late brother who was born in '64

ok cool, I'll try the mooer and see what happens cheers

I have a mooer too but it's switchable and I was told not to use one It's all too complicated lol

Dave at Ashdown told me 100 ma and 9 volt. It must be linear and not switching. Would a boss PSA230 do it, just for a really simple set up. I'm trying to keep the cost down here a little, so I can get everything sorted and keep the weight down too
