Oh FFS.

What a bunch of lame amateurs. Compensation should be the minimum response from that mob. I will be avoiding them if i ever need to book a van.

Must be nearly time to kickstart that cab again, Richard ?

I dont have to bother dropping that 30hz slider, cos i ain't got one

Yep, that kind of backs up what he told me. My series 5 was ( i think ) early '85, and that ties in with CB's designs starting late 85. Genius

IIRC, ( i was in contact with him a couple of years ago ) CB didnt design the Series 5 and before. Pretty sure thats what he told me

Berlimey - never knew Titebond had a shelf life, either opened or not. I've had some for a couple of years, though i dont build basses. It's for mundane household glueing. EDIT Ok, i did use it when i built my 1x15 cab, but it's also screwed as well as glued.

Cheers Andy I've heard various solutions elsewhere on the net and people praise one glue and others completely disagree, as is the way of the world. Titebond was praised, Titebond was shot down. Same with Hide glue, which seems it's meant to be used hot. These yays and nays came from guitar builders, of all people

Is there a preferred glue for bonding caps to bodies ?

Cant think what type of music they'd want for a plumber in a loin cloth fixing a washing machine owned by a lonely housewife with a body that could make the Pope kick a hole in his stained glass window. Funk garage jungle ?

Most couriers require a hard case. It's one of their get out clauses. Also , check each couriers small print. Some of them only insure guitars up to a pathetic amount

I just use all 4. Depends on the fretting, but i havent really noted when i do it. It's kind of automatic.

What Haz said. Your finger is way wider than the fret line on a fretless. If you play on the line, you will have part of your finger on, behind and in front of the fret line. You need to position your finger so that edge of it sits next to the line your fretting, not past it, which is what happens when playing right on the line. You will be sharp, playing right on the line, and it sounds worse the further up the neck you play. It doesnt sound so bad down at the nut end

£200 apparently

Sort of. The headstock on this hideous green alien is flat, whereas the Motion B's were raised in the middle on the outside and concave underneath, as you might remember

Thanks again Bill. Nervousness batted out of the park. Stevie did most of the plotting design, so pretty confident that the 600 watt Fane was going to sound good, which it does

Result. Cheers William

Argg. Biggest speaker diameter i could load in was 20cm. I need 38cm , obviously

Thinks Bill - just downloading to see what's happening
