Other than loud, how's it? Thinking of going for one of these for my Hofner 189

Jeez why have I heard of Zoot Money??

Lovely!

Not a red head but I have used my WorkingPro 10 at gigs. Love the SWR Sound, such a shame Fender killed the brand.

Hate so say it but no matter what gear I use, and I try to use some diverse stuff, I fundamentally sound like me. Not saying I have a highly cultivated and unique sound, far from it, but the gear seems to only make a small difference. Maybe I'm just not using it right. But those small differences matter to me, even if nobody else, even in the band notices!

Won't that f things up completely? Might see if I can get an extension lead that takes European inputs and has a UK wall plug, could be a good half way option..

Contacted these guys and just got a "sorry, No". Seems to be the most rare plug in the world.

Was that on eBay?? If so I could have been bidding against you! Glad I didn't bid now. What's it like?

If it's got your endorsement I'm in!

All I know is there is a way you can declare foreign earnings of different sorts. And if you've paid foreign tax you can get a small % of that credited back by HMRC.

Wondering if this fits the bill? Can't see anything that says centre negative? https://www.switchelectronics.co.uk/products/3a-12vdc-plugtop-power-supply-powerpax-sw4414c

I went on the site recommended in the thread, they don't have one for this model unfortunately. I'm going to have another search tomorrow.

That's what came with it. It's not very good.

I'm tempted to buy a pair of Warman P pups for my Hofner 189 resurrection. If anyone has used their pickups I'd be interested in opinions. Thank you!

The EMG Select pickups sounded fantastic. Loved the sound of the one I had.

Righton straps have a little pick pocket at the butt end of the guitar, it's so handy. They're also damn good straps.

This site is awesome! Thank you

Jack Cassady at a giveaway price.... https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/left-handed-epiphone-jack-casady-bass/1468243460 *This is not mine! I don't know the seller, etc. And there's no way I'd part with mine for remotely near that price!

Thanks unfortunately this is more than a kettle lead type thing. I would like to buy a UK replacement but not sure how to decipher all the electrical gubbins. I don't expect they make a UK version of this at all, sadly.

Once more asking for your wisdom and advice. I've got a Harley Benton power plant thingy on my board now because I wanted the slimness of it and the number of outputs. Of course it came with a European PSU and a UK wall socket adaptor. I'd like to replace the European PSU for a UK one so I don't have a big and wobbly connection into the mains that my singer or a punter putting down their jacket/ handbag/ drink could knock over. I've photographed the plug...

It's interesting when you look at it... Nikki Sixx is hardly a great bass player but he's written loads of songs for other artists, I think Tommy Lee is underrated as a drummer, I love Mick Mars' feel and tone. But it all seems to be undermined by the "bad-boy" behaviour and image, they seem to be more about that than their music. Having read "the dirt" too it's hard to imagine they'd be fun to hang around with for more than twenty minutes.

It's annoying though trying to find the DHL depots. I went all over three towns to either be told "don't bother, the DHL guy hasn't been seen in ages" or "we have never been a DHL depot"/ "we send DHL stuff but can't do returns..."

Why not contact the venue and ask what they've got? Our guitarist does this everywhere we play because he's fussy, but also cos he's gone to IEMs and wants to know if they can handle that, do they want him to bring an amp? Etc. If you've got a while before the gig I'd do that and then you can discuss anything you need to with the sound guy or girl and everyone is happy.
