    I just don't like listening to songs about dragons and pixies. Call me old-fashioned but I like witty, observant songwriters like Ray Davies, John Lennon, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, Morrissey, even Alex Turner. Quality pop music. When someone starts banging on about trench warfare or mystical monsters in the underworld they lose me.

    Very wise. Give me a poke if you do decide to sell it.

    Ah, fair enough. Can't say I ever liked Helloween. I love the old racing-stripe '80s streamers, but I prefer the two-piece bridge rather than the older style ones. Yours is the only one I've seen that has both those features. Also, all the basses I've owned over the last 10 years have been either Warwicks or had an orange paintjob, but I never found an orange Warwick. I supposed to be buying a fretless though, and I'm not how the idea of two incoming basses would sit with the missus... Anyway good luck with the blue one. I really don't understand why it hasn't gone yet.

    Wow. Does this blue one bring you bad luck or something? This is a steal. Incidentally; are you still planning to sell the orange one? And -if so - what sort of a price would you want for that?

    [quote name='BB2000' post='165417' date='Mar 28 2008, 05:08 PM']An immaculate example (case etc.) went on ebay a few weeks ago for 900 euro - OP will be lucky to see £800 on ebay.[/quote] Shame. I'd give him 800 squids for it if I didn't already have a '91 Thumb.

    Is this pedal still for sale? I'm currently using a US reissue Muff + a Boss LS-2 to blend it, which sounds great but takes up a lot of pedalboard. If I like this one I can make room for even more pedals!

    [quote name='Machines' post='163612' date='Mar 26 2008, 10:27 AM']You sure that's a Proline ? I thought they had flamed maple tops. That looks like ash to me making it a standard ash model.[/quote] I had a Proline 6 in the mid '90s that had a plain white maple body.

    Thanks! I had checked Maplin but couldn't find them.

    Bump?

    Those ones from effectpowersupplies.com definitely reverse the polarity - I'm using them on a bunch of EHX reissues. I haven't had one fail on me yet so I'm happy to buy the cheap ones.
  11. thisnameistaken
    One of [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/mini-jack-plug-adaptor-12-p.asp"]these[/url]? Make sure the polarity is correct for your pedal first though - that adapter is positive tip when plugged into a standard negative-tip 9V barrel plug.

    Hi, I've got some rehousings and other bits and pieces I'd like to do, but I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells a decent range of diecast aluminium enclosures. Does anybody know of anywhere that does? I'd rather not have to buy them in from overseas if I don't have to.

    I'm looking at fretless 4s at the moment, but it'll be a week or so before the cash trickles in. One question: Is the alignment of the pole pieces a bit off on the neck pup? It looks weird - like both pups are bridge pups?
