I like 'em both. I have had a CAR Sandberg, and now have a faded Sonic Blue Precision - all good!

That guitar head would make a brilliant spare at less than £210.

Wowsers!

Well I just read it but I am in the middle of family time with Mrs Axe, Mr Axe Jnr, Ms Axe Jnr and her husband, and our granddaughter!

Mrs Axe got me a Neotech strap from Bassgear. Well I ordered it and she paid for it. Mr Axe Jnr got me the Fender Bass Book. All good!

[quote name='AinsleyWalker' timestamp='1450984649' post='2937678'] Thanks for the links, however I seem unable to open the files he's included as they are .ipb format. not sure what that is. [/quote] Save them, but change [b].ipb[/b] to [b].pdf[/b]

I'll take GLAM thanks.

Swing and be-bop. I may have a gig in January playing trad and swing, but thankfully it will not involve boaters and stripey blazers.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1450888926' post='2936767'] There are actually relatively few circumstances where you can raise a capacitance rating and it not have an adverse effect on a circuit. Power supply ripple smoothing caps are one of these few circumstances (but even then in moderation). I'm guessing the PF500 is a class D / switched mode PSU design in which case it would almost certainly be a bad idea to change a value randomly. [/quote] Increasing cap sizes in a smoothing circuit can caush bigger currents to flow through the rectifier diodes, which may result in 'magic smoke'!

I love both, couldn't choose between the two. And yes, I even enjoy playing Mustang Sally!

You may want to check out the Worship Players section on [url="http://www.tdpri.com/forum/worship-service-players/"]TDPRI[/url] (Telecaster forum). Obviously it's not bass-oriented, but there may be a lot of stuff shared that will still apply to you.

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1450813212' post='2936151'] I have been pondering the media's persistent belief that working class bands have more legitimacy than those of other classes, [/quote] One of many conceits that exist around popular music. Another is the idea that rock is more 'authentic' than pop; or that only artists writing their own material have anything worthwhile to say.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1450716265' post='2935162'] One of those has already been done ...

It is frequently mispronounced, and consequently mis-spelled.

[url="http://worldguitars.co.uk"]World Guitars[/url] in Stonehouse. I spent thousands in there! Sadly the proprietor Jeff passed away a few weeks ago, I just hope the shop continues in the same vein.

Ok enough is enough, can we all stop posting in this thread. Oh wait...

Ah the Boomerang bridge. You don't see many around - owners succumb to the temptation to throw it like a boomerang, and it inevitably comes back, strikes them on the head, and kills them. You have been warned!

That's falcon excellent!

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1450572932' post='2934050'] Surely it's only embarrassing if it keeps getting bumped and others see it? Hehehe [/quote] Why would anyone do that? The poor guy must be mortified!

No first-hand experience but seen them discussed on a couple of guitar forums that I frequent and rarely (if ever) seen any serious negative comment. I did seriously consider that very same 20W head, but bought a more widely known head, used, from a friend.
