Hi there, Having a clear out of guitar stings, take a look here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180825039610?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1156 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180825042300?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1413 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180825044910?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1413 Jimmy Sims

I'm thinking about selling my 1979 Gibson Ripper. It's all black and pretty, but I'm not sure I'm using it enough to keep hold of it. Its got the original case with it; plays and sounds great. It has had a neck break at the headstock (haven't they all?) but been repaired and re finished in the damaged area in the states before I bought it. Anyone interested if I put some photos up? I'm thinking maybe £1000 ono? Let me know your thoughts, Jimmy Sims ********EDIT********* Ok, here are some photos and some more info for you all. The Serial Number is 71089026, which means it is the 108th day of 1979 (April 18th, unless it was a leap year) and built in the Kalamazoo factory. As you can see from the photos its in very good cosmetic condition. There are two areas in which its been re-finished/touched up; just on the back of the top shoulder, and around the back of the neck where the headstock has been repaired. I've tried to show both as best I can in the photos. The only other thing I've added myself, is the bell truss rod cover. I've tried to get something as close to what it would have been, but it's not original. I've checked over the electronics as best I can, all are original, but the earth from the jack socket to the first pot was broken, so I've added an earth in. There is a machine bolt missing from the back (bridge) pickup that would have helped adjust the height. It's a 2mm by 10mm machine bolt, should be fairly easy to find. As I've mentioned before, it plays great and sounds the part too. Anyone is welcome to arrange a time to come and try it out if they want to, I'm in North West London. Jimmy Sims

Anyone at all want to come and get this from me? Its going in the recycling bin next week if not.

Just to confirm, I do still have this speaker, but it is a local pickup only kinda thing.

Hi Ant, Yes I still have it. Send me a message if you're interested. Jimmy [quote name='barklama' timestamp='1327773543' post='1516617'] Hi do you still have your aguilar speaker? thanks ant [/quote]

Hi guys and girls, I've got an Aguilar JDK15 (8 ohm 15 inch speaker) that I removed from my DB115 when I blew it. The lovely folks at Aguilar made it easier for me to get a new speaker sent over rather than re-cone this one, but I'm told that with a re-cone (by wembley loud speakers or whoever) would have it working as good as new. I don't know about these things exactly, which is why I'm giving the thing away. Free to the first person who's into it and wants to come and pick it up from Willesden Green in North West London. Anyone interested? Jimmy Sims
-
I see. Thanks very much
-
Hi All, I've had speakers repaired before when the cone has gone and needs re-coning, but I have a speaker with a broken coil; is it possible to repair that, or am I holding on to scrap metal for no good reason? Jimmy Sims

[quote name='hairyhaw' timestamp='1320676913' post='1429780'] Name and shame!!! [/quote] Certainly not. Karma and all that.

And thus, let this be a lesson to all of us when it comes to doing people favours if you don't really know them.

Thanks for the feedback gents. I thought this was the case, but just wanted to double check that I'm not going crazy! Having told me that I was good to go at the end of the day and that he was "very happy" with what we'd done, he then called me the next day and asked me to come back free of charge to make up for the fact that I didn't bring a di box... All most unpleasant!

I recently did a recording as a favour for a friend in a very well stocked studio in North London. When I say very well stocked, I mean they had a massive SSL desk, 5 drawmer compressors, 2 telefunken U48s, a couple of 1176 compressors, and much much more outboard gear than I've seen in a lot of big studios. I generally speaking bring a DI box (either an Avalon U5 or a Ridge Farms Gas Cooker) to record with, but on this occasion I hadn't, thinking that I'd just use something that was there... But they didn't have any... ANY DI's at all. Is it just me or is that a little odd? I'm certainly not claiming to be the most experienced bass player around, but I have been to a few studios before and have never encountered one without DIs. I've since been contacted by the producer and told that I should have supplied one and it's my responsibility. What is your experience of this? Have I just been really lucky finding places that have got DI boxes?

Thanks to a relatively small tax bill, I"m going to keep this little fella! It's a sad day for me as I'm selling my prized Roland G77 bass; for no other reason but I haven't used it in a long time, and I need some new keyboard gear (boring). It's not got the floor unit with it, but it does have the original hard case and works perfectly well as a regular electric bass guitar. The floor units come up on ebay fairly regularly for a couple of hundred pounds or less. £850 ono [attachment=90769:416557257.jpg] It's in The Bass Gallery in Camden, London if anyone want's to go and check it out.
