[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1496232960' post='3309738'] Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if I would prefer the mb 801 or the little phil Jones bg75. [/quote] I have tried both side by side, and the Markbass is much louder and beefier, even though it is only rated at 45W as against the BG's 70W. I came home with the Markbass. It is perfect for small acoustic gigs, and loud enough for big band rehearsals, as long as the drummer doesn't go mad!

To find out more, check out Tony Bacon's book on Squier electrics - if you're lucky, you can pick it up in The Works for under a fiver!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1496053191' post='3308368'] Played properly there's nothing wrong with any of the songs mentioned so far. But that's the problem. They are very rarely played properly. [/quote] This is why I dread Sex On Fire. Very few musicians seem to get where the '1' is in the intro to the song, which means that there is always a car crash when you reach the chorus.

Could get the caravan craned into my back garden. Mrs Axe might struggle to get her bike out of the shed though...

[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1495465217' post='3303927'] I've just sent him a question to ask Will let you know the result if it interests you. [/quote] I messaged him a few days ago. No response.

Get KiOgon (of this forum) to build you a new loom.

I like playing, and have often sung, Mustang Sally. It wasn't me, but if it had been, I would feel no shame.

[quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1495269156' post='3302531'] It says "temporarily out of stock" on the site - as it did when I ordered mine on Tuesday - but mine is being delivered today. Bargain! [/quote] And...?

Here's my latest build, first pedal I've built in a while - an Orange Squeezer clone for my smallest guitar pedalboard. I used a PCB ordered from eBay as it offered several advantages over a stripboard build. The knobs are different sizes on purpose - I can easily adjust the volume with my foot, whereas the bias control may not get adjusted very often. I couldn't find orange spray paint cheap enough so I ended up with yellow Plasti-kote. The lettering/graphics are laser-printable water-slide decal. It sounds great on my Strat, and nails the Sultans of Swing tone.

That'll be this then:

Korg Pitchblack is as much as I ever use. If the gig required it I could take out a drive pedal I suppose.

Paul bought some valves from me. He paid promptly and let me know as soon as they had arrived.
