Happy Birthday BC and a huge thanks to the Mods for their tireless efforts.

Hi all, can anyone help me identify this bass model please. I know it's a nanyo sgc, but what's the model number? The serial number is 883373. Unfortunately there's no model number on the rear side of the control cavity cover. I've pictured the control cavity, however, matters are further compicated because the previous owner has fitted Glockenklang electronics. Plus the knobs aren't on because the Nanyo knobs don't fit the Glockenklang pots, doh! I do have all of these seperately though, should this help clear identification. Thanks for any help, Paul.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1494800205' post='3298655'] good point well made Yes I know the 500W 4ohm cabinet will probably survive...but why should I have to have that worry? [/quote] First world problems?

How very excellent, and the best bit is having friends that would go to all that trouble for you. A belated happy birthday.

[quote name='Staggering on' timestamp='1494122288' post='3293443'] Here's a Canadian response. In the late '70's I played a strolling gig in February at the Toronto zoo.I was playing tenor banjo as a dep in a Dixieland band that wore clown costumes so it was a pretty strange gig.It was made worse by the fact that it was -20C (really)so we decided to play a few songs outside then hustle inside to warm up before our next foray into the cold.Fingerless gloves and several layers including long johns made it a bit better but it was very cold. We tuned up inside,went outside and the leader called a song and key and wanted 4 bars on the banjo as an intro so away I went.Ithought the horn players,all very good musicians, seemed to be having a hard time getting the song rolling but it eventually worked out by the end of the song.At that point the trumpet player asked why I played the intro and the song in C# instead of C.Turns out the couple of minutes of cold air raised the tuning of the banjo a half tone,which made for a very interesting gig.As each song was played the horn players had valves freeze,pads on the sax freeze shut and the trombone froze solid in first position between songs.They had a tough time playing songs with more notes missing as the song progressed.Not a fun day but we got paid,but it was COLD.Haven't played below freezing since then and don't plan to. [/quote] We have a winner!.....I hope?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1493988283' post='3292402'] Quite the opposite, this topic can serve to help others with similar problems. I'm even thinking that 'pinning' it could be envisaged. Anything and everything goes, as long as it keeps logs trouble-free, don't you think..? Another aspect is the grim warning that this carries regarding the impetuous posting of topics without due thought beforehand. Once one's inner self is offered up for general scrutiny, it's very difficult to claw back. Putting genies back into bottles is notoriously difficult. Future posters could benefit from mature reflection before hitting the keyboard. [/quote] As my dearest friend always put it, "Never dismiss the possibility that your reason for being here is as a warning to others".

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1493551895' post='3289040'] Yes indeed. I once opened the door to the postie as he was about to leave a card. "That's OK", said I. "I'll take the parcel". He explained I'd have to go to the local depot for it. So you're right. [/quote] Wow, what a p1$$take!

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1492902562' post='3284063'] Apparently he has 100% feedback.... [/quote] Does that apply to him or this instrument?

Wow, love his playing and his sound. Thanks for posting.
