Painy

Small world!

This is so frustrating! My package from Thomann has made it all the way from Germany to Norwich which is less than 30 miles from my home but because UPS don't deliver on a Saturday it's been sat there since 5:48 this morning and won't be with me until Monday. It's torture I tells ya, torture!

My Squier VM P5 has been fitted with original the pickup from Dave Swift's white Sadowsky P5. My Aguilar DB112 cabs were previously owned by Paul Turner. I now sound like some bloke called Dave Turner (who Google tells me is a science fiction, fantasy and comedy author and not a bass player at all). It's all very confusing 🤪

Just bought a bridge from John. Really couldn't have been an easier process. Top notch!

Touche 😉

If it helps, I'm prepared to look after it for you for say a year or two - just so you can see if you'd really miss it or not. I'm nice like that. 😁

They don't necessarily all look the same...

Bugger! Had this in my watch list and was going to put in a last minute bid with a sniping app but completely forgot to set it!

Great voice too.

Sadly I suspect you're right but it can't hurt to try.

Hi everyone, (Mods - I hope this is okay) It has just been announced that one of Norwich's most important music venues The Brickmakers will be closing its doors at the end of January as the owners - Enterprise Inns (EI Publican Partnerships) - are demanding an extra 12% to renew the leasehold - which the current landladies simply can't afford. This is probably the only dedicated live music pub left in Norwich (not to mention being named UK live music pub of the year in 2011) and is a real hub for the local live music scene. There is also a second room (The B2) which is one of the only venues in the area devoted to original bands. It also happens to be where I first met my beautiful wife 🙂. I've no idea if this petition will do any good but it's at least better than doing nothing so if any of you would be kind enough to sign it then I (and I'm sure the rest of Norfolk's musical community) would be very grateful. https://www.change.org/p/ei-publican-partnerships-save-the-brickmakers-norwich?recruiter=27439545&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial.pacific_abi_gmail_send.variation.pacific_abi_select_all_contacts.select_all.pacific_email_copy_en_gb_4.v2.pacific_email_copy_en_us_4.control.pacific_email_copy_en_us_3.control.lightning_share_by_medium.share_by_medium.lightning_share_by_medium_message.control.lightning_2primary_share_options.variant.lightning_2primary_share_options_more.variant

I keep looking at these on eBay but then thinking they can't be any good at that price. Might have to grab one now based on this though 😁.

Doesn't hurt to look the part either. I'm not suggesting you turn up in a full stage costume or anything weird but if they're playing 80s hair metal for example then turning up in a Lonsdale track suit with a baseball cap worn sideways might not exactly give the impression that you'll fit in.

No end caps but how about something like this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F253233413282

I'm loving it. Not only no low end loss but it can even get quite Subby if you really boost the little trim pot on the side. I've found that it's a nice growly drive but can also do a fairly modern, aggressive sound if you put a bright enough sounding bass through it and crank the drive and treble up.

And going nowhere either - great sounding drive 😁.

Nice job! Funnily enough I've actually been considering doing exactly this recently (and even in roughly the same colour) so that it matches the rest of my rig. Any chance of a link to where you got the tolex from at all?

Joyo Roll Boost would be my recommendation. Inexpensive, very solidly built, very transparent and up to a frankly ridiculous 32dB boost if you should ever want it. Been gigging mine happily for 4 years now.

And spend the rest of the saving on going to the gym so that you can lift it! 😆 Seriously though, incredible sounding amps - and an absolute bargain at that price. Congrats!

My band is still the same one I started with our lead guitarist 22 years ago in high school so I've just never stopped 🙂.

Italian actually so more gorgonzola than roquefort. 😉
