[quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1457829985' post='3002222'] I removed the wooden labelling inside the van to install seats. The supporting pillar has be badly damaged and repaired. It has had a new outer skin. [/quote] I have lots of vans coming back to me that are 12 months old, it is not unusual to find at least 1 a month that has had a structural panel replaced, sometimes it is a better repair to replace a panel rather than repair one with shed loads of filler, on the current VW Crafter / Mercedes Sprinter van the side panels are bonded on not even welded so replacing them makes a lot of sense. The fact that it took the removal of the ply lining to find a repair had been done suggests it was probably done when they vehicle was pretty new, the van has probably had a couple of owners since that were oblivious to the repair.

You are on shaky ground, unless you can prove there was an issue with the vehicle that the seller knew about and deliberately disguised so as to dispose of the vehicle then you are on a loser, with something like a gearbox it would be virtually impossible to even guess on an impending failure let alone do something that would disguise the fact it was about to fail. Have you looked into the cost of replacing the box or getting it repaired? If the rest of the vehicle is ok then throwing a few hundred pounds extra at it may be worthwhile if it leaves you with a decent vehicle once sorted, you have to remember with a van they are work horses, usually reasonably maintained but seldom loved You say you paid nearly £3000 for it, was it cheap at that price or was it the going rate for this vehicle in the advertised condition? I hope you get it sorted

The Streets

Blimey, I doubt I would be able to read it on an album cover these days, on a CD cover not a chance! I am not sure I would even notice a mono mixed album, I don't think there are many albums that stand out for their stereo mix, Jean Michelle Jarre is about the only artist I remember for interesting stereo mixes, I will follow this thread with interest to see if it turns out I own any mono mixed albums!

Kipper Trench

I really like it, not £865.00 like it, but like it none the less!

Ellery Bop supporting Killing Joke 1986 Rock City, I was actually scared my heart was going to stop beating it was so loud, it basically emptied the hall as punter took refuge from the audio onslaught....not a pleasant experience at all

Pretty much all the songs mentioned were in our set, at least with James "Sit Down" you got some interesting views as people sat / fell down / staggered back up I can't go with the "Oasis are sh*te" trend, much as I wanted to smack Liam in the mouth on many an occasion I will wager they did achieve far more success than any of us on here?

Sorry I can't help you being as I am based in Northampton, but it is sad to hear if that is the state of affairs in Belfast, there have been some fantastic bands that have come out of that city over the years, good luck, I hope you can find something decent

£16000 seems somewhat pricey when you could pick up any number of 50's / 60's Fender's for a good deal less, still it doesn't worry me, much as I love the look of the bass the sound just doesn't work for me

It's a shame they won't play again, such an amazing live act, From my understanding Nick Mason and Roger Waters are pally and Dave Gilmour was reliant on Rick Wright for an equal balance of power in the band, with Rick gone that balance has been lost

What constitutes a huge gig or a big support? From my experience the bigger the gig and the more famous the headline act the less fun the gig turns out to be, I have been far happier playing to 100 people who have paid to see us over playing to 3000 people who have no idea who we are and would only have shown an interest if the stage had been struck by lightening!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-1974-Fretless-Base-Guitar-/222045927062?hash=item33b2f7f696:g:VW8AAOSwzgRWxEoW Hi guys, came across this on Ebay this afternoon, to me it looks more likely to be a Japanese bass with a Gibson logo rather than a Gibson as I have never seen a Gibson with that pick up arrangement or control layout. Any of you Japanese specialists out there able to throw any light on it? I will contact the seller and raise my suspicions and will refer her to this thread, so please be sympathetic with your responses if it is not a Gibson bass Rog

done and intrigued!

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1457287120' post='2997054'] I take no spares at all. [/quote] Yeah but you have two 4x10's so surely in the event of a speaker failure you still have the one cab option?

I have a very decent HIFI (Exposure Amps / PMC speakers) but them for ease of use I have an old Dell computer running Windows XP with everything played through the media player, I know MP3 files are a compromise but I am happy with the sound quality / convenience trade off I have

It actually sounds like your security has done the job you asked it to, yes the scumbags did some damage but your alarm stepped in and scared them off, job done.....I would hope that the thief was put off by what was a close shave with a very angry property owner who could easily have been wielding a baseball bat. No opportunist thief is going to hang with an alarm ringing away, lights coming on in the house and threats of impending serious physical harm coming from an open window! beef up your security if you feel the need to but if the thief is determined to have another go then irrespective of your security upgrades then they are still going to do damage. I would be asking you neighbour to improve their security as next time they break into their shed, the tools may be used to break into their house instead! I had the same situation last year when scumbags came in through next doors insecure gate and broke into our shed and stole our bikes..... neighbour requested to secure their gate, shed now fully alarmed and door stickered up saying "this shed is alarmed" bikes are now chained to a properly mounted floor anchor, half a pool cue by the back door, peace of mind not fully restored but it's the best I can do at the moment.

Some rooms are acoustically dire, it doesn't matter what you are doing the sound will be awful onstage, however that doesn't mean it's awful out front, some of the gigs where I have struggled most with onstage sound has had audience members commenting on how good the sound is. I will always do a mic check before the band goes onstage, no point in starting if the singers mic isn't working.

From the info I can find online, it is a genuine bass, from the late 80's into the 90's the SQ series was built in Japan and then production was moved to Mexico, from what I read it should be of similar quality to the Silver Series range

Interesting, she is very good

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1457115087' post='2995565'] most double albums would've been a lot better as a single one, to quote the Clash, cut the crap and they should've [/quote] Reading Joe Strummer's biography recently the general consensus seemed to be if they had cut the crap from the "Cut the Crap" album they wouldn't have released a single track from it! I can't do Sandanista at all and I think London Calling could have been better as two separate releases with a bit of time in between releases so as to take out the weaker songs
