1. Paint the insides of the screw holes with white PVA wood glue, diluted 50/50 with water. Allow to dry. 2. Make a paste from fine sawdust and PVA, with just enough glue to bond the sawdust. Pack the holes with the paste, allow to dry thoroughly (preferably overnight). 3. Drill a small pilot hole for the screw. 4. Fit the feet using the screws. You could also consider repositioning the feet so that they still cover the old holes, in which case omit steps 1 and 2. Possibly - 5. Coat the tops of the feet and the corresponding surface of the cab with a thin layer of contact adhesive, and allow to go tacky (see instructions). 6. Place feet firmly in position and replace screws. However, you would need to be sure that there will be no adverse reaction between the adhesive and the black cab finish, so - 7. Talk to Alex!

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1379798638' post='2216957'] Very true but G&L don't have a Fender logo on the headstock. That will make the difference to a lot of bassists. [/quote] Yep, the Fender logo on an active bass is a useful warning to potential purchasers.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1379798548' post='2216956'] It's the 'stealth' model All black,.. [/quote] Probably wouldn't show up in a picture anyway!

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1379794960' post='2216910'] A top day. Thanks to those who organised it so well. I am glad I took my earplugs though..... [/quote] Likewise! Feeling a bit pooped now

Superb day! Great to meet the people behind the avatars, amazed to find that xilddx's avatar is in fact his passport photo! Didn't expect the pastries either. Although I did find myself GASing after a few things, the overall effect was to reduce my GAS list by giving me the opportunity to try things I thought I wanted, and then find that I didn't after all. Thanks to everyone who let me try out their kit, in some cases putting one BCer's a amp head through another's cab! EDIT: spelling correction for [s]silddx[/s] [s]xilddx[/s] Nige.

In addition to stands for my own basses, I am bringing a 3-space stand that will be marked FREE PARKING. Shockwave has first dibs on this for his Antigua P, after that if you have nowhere safe to park your bass, just look for the little signs.

Tasty!

Only a matter of time before someone nominates their significant other

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1379659729' post='2215251'] In that case I'll bring my GK MB200 as well as the TH500 as I'd like to hear how they sound with a Midget. [/quote] Most excellent!

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1379589517' post='2214447'] I used to work in Leeds University & the guy who I reported to did all the PAT testing for the Uni. To do it he had a certificate & I would often help him do the testing. It's a small suitcase size machine that you plug electrical items into.....it switches on.....runs the test & you get a message to say it's done. It's really not hard to do at all. [/quote] I actually did a day's training on this ... About 15 years ago, so my competence has somewhat lapsed!

The more I look at these the more I am reminded of the Variax bass but with pickup(s).

Ooh I want something like this to go with my BF cabs.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1379615878' post='2214937'] I could probably manage disorderly at a push! [/quote] Oi! No pushing!

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1379614201' post='2214906'] Hoping to have a play through a BF cab so you can add my Reidmar as well Bluejay. [/quote] I for one would be most interested to audition different heads through my BF Midget. Please form an orderly queue.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1376672459' post='2177860'] A friends band do really well out of it...and I was reluctant to go and see them as I had these pre-conceptions about material but they had such a good spin on numbers....that it was very entertaing. I think...or have learnt...that if you think the 60's is boring, then you are picking the wrong numbers What can be wrong with the Small Faces, Who and Stones..to start with...!!! [/quote] Yes a lot of it is down to how you approach the material. If you approach it as enjoying playing great songs, you are on a winner. If you think you are churning out the same old guff, you clearly are not!

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1379614134' post='2214903'] I've got a serious amount of GAS for a 5 string P-Bass with a PJ configuration. I know they exist but they seem to be quite rare and not available new. Would it be wrong to get a normal one and have a competent fellow fit the jazz pickup? Not that I'm in a position to buy a P-Bass at the moment regardless of what sort it is, but you can't help thinking of these things can you?! [/quote] Look for a Sandberg VT5.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1379590590' post='2214477'] I look forward to t[s]rying[/s] buying it. [/quote] Fixed.
