Punched plates on Ebay - Serial - 407790. Fender 1973/74 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-tele-strat-bass-big-f-neck-plate-serial-no-407790-/321710120181?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae76adcf5"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ae76adcf5[/url]

Amazing! 20 bids on an old bit of woodchip paper. I wonder if they regret bidding now!

Update! They have come up with the money for a PA! Saying that, it's from the lad we always use and we get a ridiculously cheap rate for an excellent rig from him. It would have enlightened them more if they'd paid full whack though! Still, a good result I suppose... I think...

Bought a cab from George today. Exactly as described. He dropped it off too! No worries here. Deal with confidence. Thanks George. Cheers Dunc

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1429002926' post='2746793'] Well I used to think it was just snare and cymbals, but after a couple of gigs on drums I started to notice how variable it is! Now I take everything except the toms and kick drum. [/quote] +1. That's exactly what we do. I wonder what the 'promoter' would have thought if we had turned up without the toms and kick!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1428969490' post='2746640'] So if they're expecting you to provide the PA, they're also expecting you to be there all day running said PA, all night for the after festival party AND play a gig slot all for £200... ...sod that. [/quote] For some reason, he expects every band to bring their own PA that day? A different planet comes to mind...

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1428966608' post='2746618'] Name and shame I say. Save the rest of us the hassle! [/quote] Into The Valley Festival in Clitheroe (Ribble Valley). Venue for aftershow party - The Rose and Crown. Promoter Mr Potter...

If in the agreement it stated - Artist to provide backline and 'breakables', what would you think you had to provide and take to the venue? Well I thought, amps, guitars etc and drum accessories. The venue we were supposed to be playing on Saturday actually now expects us to take a full kit and the PA! No problem about the kit but supply the PA for an aftershow party at a festival? The promoter seems a bit miffed that we have cancelled at short notice (as they wont supply the rig) but the truth is we would never have agreed if PA support wasn't provided and it was certainly implied in the agreement. I tried to explain what their agreement stated but they seem oblivious and reckon everyone else has turned up with a kit and a PA in the past? I wonder if bands just carry around a spare rig on the off chance? By the way, we were only getting paid £200! Anybody else had problems with "promoters"?

And I think I just got the last set of 4's! Thanks for the tip!!!!!

[/quote] Ah Ha! A real 71 doesn't have a no smoking sticker on it then!

Nothing looks like it's from a Fender to me. I should imagine the no smoking sticker is a fake too...

Traded basses with Will. The Starfire I got was exactly as described. He went out of his way to make the deal work too, which was much appreciated. Great communication and an all round good guy. Deal with absolute confidence. Thanks again Will. Cheers Dunc

He is an honest man indeed. I dont think it needed that many coats of satin though...
