You should always approach it in a business like manner unless you are jamming down the pub for nothing. As others have said, there are things you can claim for to offset against any earnings.

Find out what you can claim for, travel, equipment and all the other costs, and then keep receipts and records. I use an old program called quicken, and it shows all my incomings and outgoings over the years.

The most important thing is for you to sit down on a regular basis and record all those incomings and outgoings. Its easy enough to drag out the receipt for your bass or amp, but you wont remember the stamps for publicity, or the hire of a rehearsal space, the batteries for your effects, BGM from Smiths unless you make a habit of regularly entering these up.

Many years ago a friend of mine was caught as a solo organ player who used to play in a pub every couple of weeks. The IR caught up with him, and assesed his earnings as huge figure. Jack didnt even know how many times he had played there over the years, and there was talk that the landlord had been entering Jacks and other peoples gigs through the books far more times than they had actually played. He had to pay a fortune in back tax.

By and large Ive always found the revenue fairly reasonable, if you approach them in a reasonable manner

For sale line 6 x2 wireless

Comes with mains power supply, and lead with silent jack plug £120 posted

Ive probably used this about half a dozen times but its not really for me.


I am re listing this as the guy who wanted to buy it has not replied to any of my emails.

Very frustrating, its not that hard to communicate even if you do change your mind.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

nice

No its not dipping it, you should soak it and use a little soap as a lubricant.

Really good article with photos here, and I found it easier to spray with the body horizontal as per his photos.

I saw robbie gladwell play sylvia at one of the music shows a while ago and couldnt get the tune out of my mind for weeks.

I like focus although Im not keen on the yodelling

Make sure the paint is hard/dry. You can get rid of the imperfections with fine wet and dry

Think that could look rather nice

im also a precision man

if the quality of my us lakland jo osborne is anything to go by a us bob glaub may be worth looking at

Mine I couldnt resist

Ive always been surprised they didnt do a ltd edition run of these lots of people have expressed an interest and it cant be that hard to do

pmed

nice collection, like the lakland

im a bit confused,
have you used a primer before you use the blue?

i think the interesting thing about both of these sites is the advice on how to do things, I refinished a precision type using the manchester guitar site and it came out well. i think i would have used cellulose grain filler with hindsight or pva to prepare the wood.
the biggest problem i had, even using grain filler was sinkage into the wood.

[quote name='Spoombung' post='871603' date='Jun 19 2010, 11:16 AM']The forum looks interesting but as it's American all the products will incur extra duty when dispatched to the UK so I'm going to look for somewhere closer to home[/quote]

Bought a seymour duncan pickup from Lozz

Arrived in 24 hrs well packed

is this a dubs design ?


I do quite fancy building one of Bills I saw someone had done a jack but put a front on so it looks more like a conventional box. One in white or tolex would look quite cool

I fitted my deltalite into my ashdown C110 last week and lined the cab. Only usedit in the house so far. Those emminence neos are really nicely built

pmd

theres two skyline duck dunns been advertised, precision bodys with jazz necks, great basses if you want a smaller neck
i think one had a jazz bass pick up fitted as well

hi

A friend and i looked at that

the 361 was originally the daddy to have consisting of a 200 watt powered cabinet [amplifier in the bottom of the cab] with the preamp as a seperate head on the top. It had originally a 18 in cerwin vega loudspeaker, and at the time it was probably the loudest around, and the bass amp of choice for pro bands.

This was later changed to the 370 head which was a 275 watt conventional amp and a similar 301 cab with the cerwin vega rear facing speaker.

Heres a a pic of what it looks like.

As far as restoring it you wont really be able to restore it fully unless there is the amp in the bottom, [the seller didnt think there was] so its up to you if you want to go as far as buying in the right stuff from the usa

I think the speaker has been changed too.

Acoustic is great stuff I still use a couple today.

Ive just bought one (361) in a bit of a state and was after detailed pictures of the cab to see how its covered and what with, what the grill cloth is and finishing details etc. I would be grateful of any pics posted,

Thanks in advance

Dave[/quote]

is this the one was on ebay last week?

I may be wrong but I think this a 1954 not 51

the 51 has no forearm contour and I think the sting does

These are great little combos, Ive got one. I sometimes use it with the 4x8 cab with a loud drummer.
The cover from the mini 4x8 or 1 x15 will fit if you need to get one

thanks for that

much appreciated
