I had a TD 650 that developed a high frequency oscillation which required a new power board...their reliability sucks. [/quote] Yeah, I was not impressed. Loved the sound but I'd never go near EBS gear again.

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1475484053' post='3146168'] Can i ask what the issues were, i'm well on my way to a 3rd Unit failure? [/quote] The input section crapped out. Also there was a strange high pitched whine & loud bang when the amp was switched off.

Friends yes, random strangers absolutely not.

It's probably just as annoying for people who live on the coast when people who live inland won't post stuff.

[quote name='josie' timestamp='1475434522' post='3145895'] Ummm... try an internet search on "music and brain". [/quote] I've done plenty of reading on the subject.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1475412701' post='3145700'] In life I'd rather set my goals high, I may not ever reach them, but I'd achieve more than if I just settled on being average. That's just me though. [/quote] If I was the sort of person who set my goals high it would be for doing something a lot more important than music. Music isn't going to save the planet, it's not going to cure cancer, it's just trivial noise at the end of the day.

Anything Marshall that hasn't been modded.

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1475415640' post='3145722'] I don't like live music in pubs either, unless it's jazz. I go to pubs to talk to friends, so a live amplified band playing rock covers would make me pack up and leave immediately. [/quote] I'm the same (apart from the jazz bit) - if I want live music I'll go to a gig, if I want to go out for a drink with my mates I don't want to listen to a band playing crap versions of songs I hate while we're trying to talk. If I'm in a pub & a band (or a solo performer for that matter) starts setting up then that's my cue to leave.

SKOLS Noodle Bar? I'm sure Twincam will have something to say about that...

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1475235137' post='3144249'] Once I'd mastered being able to change chords on the guitar I don't think I ever seriously sat down to work out how to play songs off records or sheet music as I was too busy writing my own. [/quote] I'm the same, once I'd reached a certain level of competency I just started just noodling around & coming up with my own stuff rather than learning other peoples stuff. I'm the same with guitar, I can play very few songs by other people, I just don't have the interest in doing it.

By listening to records & trying to copy what I heard.

Nobody musical in the family, and no support whatsoever from parents. The only time my mother ever referred to me starting to play an instrument was when she said "I don't know why you bother, you'll never be any good". She was equally supportive of everything else in my life. I was glad when she died.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1475151851' post='3143474'] Those bridges alone are upwards of £70 [/quote] OK, £270 then. I'm not talking about the actual cost, I'm saying that it looks like any one of hundreds of generic £250 basses you can get on Ebay.

Looks like it should cost about £250. I seem to recall there was a Korean made Epiphone bass that looked a lot like this a few years ago (probably more than just a few actually).

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1475149208' post='3143423'] What do you class as being average though ? [/quote] Not being sh*t but not being sh*t hot.

Black Rickenbacker 4001.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1475073439' post='3142822'] Staff in music shops haven't changed much in 60 years. [/quote] Neither has the stock.

Pictures would be useful.

It looks like a £150 copy to me.

I hope he hasn't kept it in his shower all this time.

I have absolutely no drive, competitive spirit or work ethic whatsoever. I got to the level my bass playing is at now many years ago - to have taken it further would have required far more effort than I wanted to give it. It's not just bass playing, I'm the same with everything & I have to say it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1474899862' post='3141352'] I've got solid brick walls so shouldn't be an issue.... [/quote] So have I...
