Fabulous collection Chris!! The '64 P is really something.. Do you play with the pick up covers on then?

[quote name='martindupras' post='771857' date='Mar 11 2010, 05:25 PM']Just a quick update. After contacting Thomann and sending them a photo of the broken strings, they have agreed to send me brand new replacements of the strings (full packs, not just the broken ones.) They didn't make a fuss, and I didn't have to chase it up. +1 for Thomann customer service from me. My experience so far with them has been excellent. - martin[/quote] Good news! That's a great example of how to keep your customers..

Just bought a Fostex digital recorder from Earbrass, who was a pleasure to deal with throughout! Got to say +1 on the good packaging as well; definitely NVQ 3 standard at least! Many thanks Richard...

[quote name='paul h' post='766283' date='Mar 6 2010, 06:00 PM']As per title. Can't really be bothered anymore. Message ends.[/quote] That happened to me once Paul. Lasted 12 years. Then I got back into it.

Thank you Gents!! You have both hit the nail on the head....whereas I normally can't! Having said that, the Homemade Rack Cases site looks brilliant Andy.. I now have my reading for the evening!

Hi Folks I'd really like to use the amp part of my Eden Metro combo with another speaker from time to time, i.e. as a stand alone amp, which would mean taking it out of the purpose built housing it's in and finding some kind of custom made case for it. Trouble is, it's not a standard 19" rack size' it's almost 21" wide and 3" high so I can't put it into any standard off the shelf rack that I know of. So I wondered if anyone had encountered a problem like this before and if so, are there any solutions out there that you can buy or do you have to build your own case?? Thanks in advance for the help, Nik

That's very, very nice!!!

Looks great !! It seems to me like both pictures show the bass with the same p/ups..or am I being very dense?

Thank you Chaps - much appreciated!!

Kurca recently bought my Ashdown LG1000 and was great to deal with! All went smoothly and the whole thing was livened up by Kurca's great sense of humour and excellent communications throughout! Thanks Kurca - hope you enjoy using the amp!

[quote name='WalMan' post='753422' date='Feb 22 2010, 12:27 AM']Just completed an easy transaction with Andre to take the Peavey fretless off his hands - and prove once again to myself why I shouldn't play f/less (I've had to promise the band not to take it to gigs [i]just yet at least[/i] ) A really nice guy to do business with.[/quote] +1 About Andre i mean, Al..not your f/less playing!

Hi Folks Just bought a Hughes & Kettner Bassmaster BATT pre-amp from Gilles.. Am happy to say that everything went like clock-work; the pre-amp arrived in good time, perfectly packaged up for overseas shipping and with the valves taken out and carefully wrapped up inside another box for extra safety. Communications were 100% all the way and what's more, the BATT is absolutely amazing!!! Couldn't be happier Thanks Gilles!

[quote name='jakesbass' post='750942' date='Feb 19 2010, 02:45 PM']Hi Marvin, sorry for the delay, only just noticed this... I usually say that i will try to hook up with long distance folk when I have a gig their way but I don't get down your way too often, although I gave Silverfoxnik a lesson recently and he is convinced it could be done with Skype so I will look into that and let you know the results and see if you think that would suit. Jake[/quote] It'd definitely work Jake; there's loads of online bass lessons on Youtube which people use quite well as a learning tool.. By using Skype that idea could be improved upon massively because it'll be interactive.. Maybe not suitable for all students, but for some it could work very well I think.
