I'd be on the look out on gumtree for one of those fancy push chair things... and maybe look to use the frame 'n wheels?

found this... i see the allen screw is quite sunken in. pic is not great, can the machine head be taken apart after removing the peg screw, or is the worm bar captive? otherwise prolly a leave alone or replace the whole machine head

@garyt got a pic? Dont know about sandbergs... but from working on motorcycles etc... first source a replacement, maybe by removing a good one, or dropping sandberg a line. or check ebay fasteners... no point removing the old one if its doing its job untill you have a replacement. Then when you got the new one, most i have seen are cross head, but if allen head try a star/torx bit in the hex hole... what size allen key? sometimes you may be able to gently tap in a slightly oversize imperial key into a metric hole. If not and you can get at the head, lots of masking tape then cut a slot across the head with a dremmel and use a slot head screwdriver, if ya cant get across the head, a small cold chisel to bite in to the edge of the bolt (inside or outside) and tap it round. Maybe remove the machine hesd from the headstock and hold in a vice or screw it to a scrap piece of wood to work on? If they are always tight then the optionof leaving it

Just giving em a go... Rush Moving Pictures.... very revealing, more so than my Sony's... Happy with the sound quality. Just the lack of QR Code or Holograme sticker some of the You Tube unboxing mention... @CliveT was that a Y or N on the QR? - @Waddo Soqable no responsibilities worry... look the same down to the protective film on the earcups and adapter shape. does your box have a QR code? All Good for £15 - Gonna have a lyedown on the sette wiv some sounds for a hour... just to make sure 😉😉😉 EDIT: On an old fav '801 Live'... SO much more going on! 👍

Headphones arrived... had a quick look... one of the cable reliefs to one of the ear cups was loose and required pulling down to secure. No QR Code on the box... mmm i wonder if they are genuine? I've messaged the seller and sent a pic, so waiting on a response before contacting eBay etc. Gave em a quick try and they work, but gonna give em a proper try on the MP3 player... Just thought i'd post - as ever - buyer beware.

On wood? Like i usually post, i like the wood look, so would go No Plate, but as you have the screw holes and a plate sometimes completes the lines, i'd go for a Clear Plate or Single Ply Black if it needs to hide routing. But Why Not... a bit of fun and fits the theme of the band...

What's with the plastic finger tips??
PaulThePlug replied to Waddo Soqable's topic in General Discussion
Dose of O'Keeffe's Working Hands stuff... (In most Chemist, Supermarkets) and those white cotton gloves overnight... Pricey but worth it, used it after cut fingers from gardening or motorcycle spannering etc. Bit stringent! https://okeeffescompany.com/products/working-hands And Soap rather than hand sanitizer... I have just rediscovered good old Coal Tar / Tea Tree Soap rather than all these hand gel and shower gel... -
Nice... Last pic needs to go in basschat cats... real sweet!

PaulThePlug replied to Waddo Soqable's topic in General Discussion
In a post he says something like that when initialy touching contact to something with his left had he gets a shock type jolt... with a glove there is a constant 'touch' to the fingers that aleviates the repetative touch feeling of playing. (didnt see the vid posted above...) -
Got a B1on... Which has the Marshall SB sim i was after... but doesn't have the TE sim of the later B1Four which sounded good. But Zooms are great bit of cheap usable kit. Remember when you started seeing TE kit on stage more... that unearthly green glow in the dark almost served as a warning before the band even came on stage!

From all the 'Blah Blah' above, I've just treated myself to some HD206's for a whoppin' £15 from the 'bay of dreams... Gonna pass them to my Wife so the kids can give them back to me for Fathers Day... that way i'll get something i actually want, as well as the usual Toblerone, Fruit 'n Nut or Old Jamaica. Mainly to use with the Zoom B1on, the Sennheiser's have a 3m long lead so pleanty long enough to run down ya back and out the way plus over-ear cups for hopefully better sound isolation and comfort... should be a bit better than my current Sony ZX300 headphones which have a shortish lead and more on-ear cup but handy folding design to stick in a bag, fine for use with my little Sony MP3 player... but they keep getting snagged on the bass neck, strap button or fall against the strings when ya move ya head.

What is the heaviest you comfortably listen to?

Monster Magnet More a fan of the Zepplin, Budgie, Alice Cooper, Hawkwind and Motorhead styles of music. Never 'got' the Heavy Metal Metalica, Megadeath, Slayer thing. Always came across as a joke or a toy. But, each to their own, The style of music certainly has its fans, a music can be such an important part of of life, particulatly in ones teenage years, it was for me, whatever gets people together to enjoy has got to be a good thing. Eldest is into My Chemical Romance, not my cup of tea, but great to see the pleasure it brigs them, and we have tickets for whenever the 'Reformed' Milton Keynes gig... whenever it gets rescheduled. -

Oh, and KiOgon is a top bloke and very helpful with wiring questions, i would of got the pots of him, but he didn't have the MN in plain shaft...
