    Counting the days??

    in General Discussion

    [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='569030' date='Aug 14 2009, 02:06 PM']I would start using a web forum popular with the Californian biking community. I'd post a few contentious threads re: gang affilliations to see who the psychopaths are. I'd then PM one of these nut cases with an offer of $500 to go round and break the luthiers legs and/or fingers.

    Glad I could help.[/quote]

    LOVE IT!!! :)

    Thanks fella's. Yes he did have a few medical issues and his new work shop went up last year, He did have a comments message board but removed it as a few customers were getting a little hot pretty much asking the same questions as me!!!

    I will try and call him in a few hours as its around 7AM there now.

    Cheers

    Has anyone had any experience using Christopher Woods Custom Guitar / Bass's?

    He is situated in the US and agreed to build a custom headless neck for me last year, Once i had decided on specs i sent the required measurements and detailed pics etc to him with 50% of the adreed fee = $270 via Paypal!

    This was all sent early September 2008. Since then i have sent a number of Emails REF = How things were going and requested pics etc as he usually posts a build diary on his website, His last reply was January 2009 which stated - The neck should be finished by Wednesday and there is an outstanding balance to pay prior to shipping!

    My name is still on his current orders page but has always been lablled (Neck in Mid process etc) I have sent numerous Emails regarding updates and advising him i just want to see the Necks progress and if he is just waiting for the remaining balance then i will send it once happy with the neck etc.

    Chris works mainly on his own using an assistant and has always made a point of saying, Answering dozens of Emails will take him a days work out of the workshop?

    I am now getting worked up, Should i just wait it out and see what happens? Its been far too long to open a Paypal dispute!

    Here is the Site = [url="http://www.christopherwoods.com/"]http://www.christopherwoods.com/[/url]

    Any thoughts!

    Posted

    I would like to say a big thanks to Steve for setting up a couple of my Basses!

    Dropped them off, Had a chat & a brew, Went away on my hols for a few days then as promissed, Both Basses were ready to collect when i returned home. Neck/ Frets checked & Tweeked, New Nut, Strings and Action Set etc.

    All in all they are 100% more playable and having just done an 8 hour rehersal session everything seems spot on?

    Cheers Steve,

    Nomad Bassman 1U Rack FX

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by BIG.J

    Hi Folks,

    I bought this Nomad Bassman 19" 1U FX unit from Silverfoxnik a few months ago, I realy don't use it and i am cutting down on my rack gear!

    The Nomad seems to be quite a rare piece of kit and I've looked around on Ebay and Harmony Central amongst other places for more info on the company or the unit itself, but I just can't find a thing about either. The pics have been taken by Silverfoxnik and he has kindly agreed for me to use them for this add.

    It's pretty versatile, with an excellent Chorus sound, pretty good Octaver, an okay Flanger and a very good Compressor, though it's not subtle! The effects can be used independently or in any combination of the four. Soundwise, using all 4 effects together is just a bit too processed sounding for me, but using the Compressor and the Octaver together can give you some great P-Funk sounds!

    Anyway, I'm looking for around £45 + p&p. Am happy to post or it can be collected and tried out first for anyone who's nearby.. Thanks for looking and, any questions, please just ask!

    Justin.

    Rack case bits

    I think that case uses an Angled mounting plate!

    You could remove it and replace with either B&Q Ally angle bar, cheap option would be to drill the bar to your rack spec then use a piece of wooden batton to screw through using heavy screws with cup washers!

    Or get some rack tracks / plate from maplin.

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='548215' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:06 PM']I have been given a rack case very kindly, it's pretty sound and I have a nice paint job planned for it but I fear the hardware may be past it.

    I'm going to need handles, catches and the thingys the rack ears screw into.

    Where can I get those things from?


    It's this one. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=28790"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach...st&id=28790[/url][/quote]

    Maplin will have most bits!

    Glad it arrived ok,

    Justin.
