    There was a guy on the radio from the manufacturers and he said that as the metal frame of the piano was cracked due to the high tension put on the frame by the strings (20 tons), it was impossible to repair. And us bassist moan when the jack socket stops working.

    Are Hermes doing piano shifting now? Honest Guv it was fine when we left the piano next to her wheelie bins!

    I usually let some of it dribble down the shaft into the pot, give it a few turns and it`s sorted. Use the straw that comes with it. You don`t need much. It is actually a switch cleaner, don`t know if its any different to electrical cleaner? I don`t know if this is the "right way" to do it but it has worked for me in the past.

    I have just bought the Nano model you mention and it`s a nice bit of kit. It`s 2 metal rails with velcro on it. I don`t see how spending an extra £100 would make something so simple any better?

    A can of Servisol super 10. Spray some of that in the pot, usually does the trick. Keep it in your gig bag!

    I follow a guitarist called Tim Pierce on Ya Tube, the guy is a session veteran and top player. He posted a vlog of a recent gig, a sort of second division Grammy awards. He was playing with Vinnie Colaiuta, Leland Sklar, Dean Parks etc. After watching the skill of these guys in their natural environment, I have realised (if I didn`t know before lol) that I am a weekend warrior that gets to play the odd decent sized gig and I am more than happy with that!

    In the ac/dc tribute I play in we do the songs the way that they were done originally. Sometimes we play the live versions as they can be slightly different from the recorded versions but unlike some other dc tributes, we never add in extra fills or tart them up. Our drummer especially is right on the money which means a lot. We have a loyal following and they seem to appreciate the way we remain true to the original songs. It might seem a bit restrictive to some but getting the chance to play great tunes from one of my favourite bands makes it a great gig.

    Bought a Spectra comp to try out. Signal chain is tuner - EHX Battalion - RCF powered speaker. Should the comp be before or after the EHX?

    If you listen to Man of mystery from 1960 Hank does a solo around 1 min 15 seconds in that pre dates Heavy metal by about 10 years. He never had time to practice playing in the early days as they were always recording or gigging.

    SOLD Now gone to it`s new home.

    Using the old on/off the scale method, the bass weighs 9.2 lb`s. It is a great price for this bass considering some US standards are up in the £800 + region now. Thanks for the kind comments!

    Combo help

    jezzaboy replied to lancer's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Buy the Rumble 500. All you need for small gigs, pubs, clubs etc. And you can also add another 8 ohms cab for the full 500 if req.

    Price drop to £950!!!

    This is a right good deal for someone. These were £1800 new and I don`t know why they binned this series for the frankly lower spec Ultra.

    Hi Tom. I think that seeing as I am a Paisley punter where the design came from, I reckon I should get a discount. 50% will do, I don`t want to be greedy Seriously, it`s a beautiful bass. Good luck with the sale!

    G&L L-2000.

    jezzaboy replied to tom1946's topic in Bass Guitars

    I bought a US GL CLF L2000 from them for £1400. Got it, looked fantastic, took it down to the studio but it didn`t float my boat especially for the money. Contacted them to return it and it took 4 or 5 days to arrange the return but they came when they said they would. But I had to chase them up to confirm the money was back in my account. And when I checked, the bass was up for sale again at £1600. And when I bought it, they sent me a mail to say that the bass had been on display and had some small marks on the back but no mention of the marks when they put it back up for sale at a higher price. (Just checked, they state that the bass may be on display and they will more than likely send you a mail as they did me.) I have bought a few things from them but I think they need to tighten up the mail order side of the business.

    I think it was 5 mainly due to the singer handing in her notice at the start of the year 😭 We have managed to find another but we need to get her up to speed so bugger all gigs so far.

    I`ve just noticed that Bassdirect has a Shuker Jazz s/h for £1299. Looks cool. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Shuker_Jazz_5.html

    I recently bought a 2016 P bass Elite and it`s brilliant. Active/passive, P and J, great bridge, it has the truss rod wheel adjuster like the MM, great case and it`s black and maple. I got it for £1100. I know it isn`t a Jazz but I can only guess that the Jazz is just as good. This may not help your GAS but if you fancy the Fender more than the Shuker, then go for it.

    Back in the day my wife had a crush on old Nick. She sent him a pair of underpants, small size if I remember right. She was well whizzed off not to get a reply. Strange woman...

    We do know the one in the link is the guitar case and not the bass one? The bass one is £39 and is quite tempting as a halfway house between gig bag and full monty hard case. Late Xmas pressie to myself I think...

    I was looking at the PJ stuff when GG had them on sale a few months back but they did seem a bit heavier than I thought they would be considering the size of the cabs. I would go for the Barefaced myself.

    I was party to a situation like that only we didn`t even have the decency to change the band name. Not a nice thing to do. It`s amazing what you can let yourself get talked into.
