  1. I've not seen Uriah Heep since 1973. Are any of them still alive? I don't think the bass player made it much beyond that. Saw VHB a couple of years ago, thought they were excellent.
  2. Oh yes!
  3. There - fixed dum diddle um diddle um diddle um diddle um diddle um diddle um diddle um.
  4. Aha. I missed the word drive. Has a tube but not particularly driven. Pardon me.
  5. Trace Elliot? I have one that has been rack mounted.
  6. Well, one of these would do it but it is a bit sledge hammer/nut - there must simpler, cheaper options that don't have to be quite so durable. Any blue tooth mouse for presentations I guess would work?
  7. I accept anything, Marc. Green Shield Stamps, S&H Pink Stamps, luncheon vouchers, ration coupons (ok, maybe not that old)...
  8. I have no interest in buying this bass but would just like to say that Marc is an absolutely top bloke to deal with. (my usual fees, Marc - cheque, PayPal or bank transfer. Your choice)
  9. Very interesting, Marc.
  10. Health and happiness for me and mine. Beyond that, for me, to find an old chapel out of the way somewhere and convert it into a music venue/studio. Landscape the gardens as some sort of gothic nightmare vision. For Mrs S, to start a bat rescue sanctuary locally. She loves bats maybe even as an annexe of the old chapel studio! Kill two bats with one stone.
  11. If you didn't get together every single Monday you could call yourselves the Alternate Monday Club.
  12. I had a message today (thanks Chris!) suggesting I flesh out the detail of the repair as, understandably, folks are going to be nervous spending a grand on something that has a previous fault. Symptoms were: I followed the usual cold-start procedure - switched on the power with the stand-by 'off', left it like that for 5 mins or so then turned 'on' stand-by - this was accompanied by a smell of burning and smoke! Turned off, unplugged, used back up. I took it to Electronic Music Services in Southend who are pretty much the 'go-to' industry standard amp techs in southeast Essex. Below is a scan of their report/invoice, which shows they were pretty thorough. I've used it maybe half a dozen times since then but find the whole thing too heavy to manoeuvre around. Hope this goes some way to instill confidence that this was sorted out correctly by people who know what they are doing.
  13. If only that were true the history of rock n roll would read very differently! 😄
  14. Decided to drop the price on this by £200 to £1000. If you are looking for a JV Precision you are unlikely to find a better one - and this is the Fender logo one, don't forget. Heck, if you are looking for a Precision you had to look hard for a better one, and it would be a lot more!!
  15. Dropped this by £200 to just £1000 as it is sitting here totally redundant. That makes it an absolute bargain in my book.
  16. Can only echo what others have said. My current squeeze is a Mah-roose-chick 5 string Precision that weighs in at 3.6kg and the tone is everything I could possibly want from a Precision bass.
  17. There might be a bit of a latency issue. Best not use Hound dog.
  18. Thanks! The singer was pleased with his one. I like the compact size of the Pedpro, I have to say - cost is much the same or even a bit lower. I imagine standing a mic stand on anything isn't gong to do it any favours!
  19. Does a bluetooth tablet controller count? No, didn't think so.
  20. Before my 'gear-free 2019' kicks in I depped wth a band last night and the singer used a bluetooth controller to page through his sheets. Seemed like a good idea - being a dinosaur I am of course late to any kind of technology party and haven't seen one before. I've only recently started using a tablet. His was the Airturn Pedpro, seemed very compact and efficient. There are other similar devices around. Can anyone who has spent time with one of these devices please share their experience? Reviews/recommendations?
  21. Add these pretty blue lights to your xmas gigs! And the valvey goodness, of course.
