What a beaut. Who here has tried one of these? I want to track one of these down (a 5SSS, yes please) to go with my Bongo 5HH.

[url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJxR-qeAUpo"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJxR-qeAUpo[/url] Anyone?

I used to play for 2 or 3 hours straight on a daily basis a long time ago but now I'm at a stage that I can't play for more than 15 minutes without feeling utterly drained. I took a big break as soon as I started working 60 hours a week but even on my days off, I feel tired whilst playing. Said aforementioned break must have been 6 months or so. Strangely enough, it's the complete opposite when I'm up on the stage. Any ideas?

With that in mind? I'd keep the Rob Allen, personally. A bit different from the rest, y'never know!

Let's take into consideration the other aspects of this, shall we? - What kind of stuff do you like and play? - What else do you have in the arsenal?

This is going to be good.

I was playing a festival up t'north a while ago and the bassist from one of the other bands had a beautiful upright. It was a Japanese one and I simply loved the quality of it. I've always had a fixation for Japanese made musical instruments. Does anyone have first hand experience with the MIJ DB stuff at all?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un3p614XExc Best lecture I've seen for stage fright and anything related. Take this gig you've got coming and learn from it if anything goes wrong. Use it as a reference point.

[quote name='nash' timestamp='1470986997' post='3109743'] Make a snake/loom with the other cables you'd need. [/quote] Never heard of that one! Thanks.

I've just started to build up a nice little pedalboard. I'm a fairly meat'n'potatoes kind of player. I play all kinds of music but I like to keep it in the groove. Any recommendations on what to pop on the board? Diago makes a lovely pedalboard (£50 jobbie from GumTree) I'm not amazingly fond of the idea of using the really long on my Genz Benz's footswitch, however. Any ideas on being able to make it a simple wireless thing at all? Thanks.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1469281259' post='3097160'] Can you use a vinyl on your existing plate? [/quote] Not a clue.

I really fancy changing up the scratchplate on my Musicman Bongo but as you can imagine, it's a bit trickier to find something to fit it. I've seen a design I'm hot on but it seems nowhere around does it. Could I get some recommendations from you fine people, please? I tried contacting the guy who made the contents for the former picture but he won't do it for my bass.
