  1. [quote name='patpatel' timestamp='1458235817' post='3005904'] yes, I got it from CBG... great bass, but somehow almost feels 'too new' for me, so I'll save up for a vintage one... maybe just too lazy to play it in ; ) [/quote] You beat me to it by 3 hours. I had the cash then. Until I sell my USA Jazz, I won't have the cash. You will sell this 3 hours before I sell my jazz, it's the law
  2. Thank you Mr. Floop, quite keen on mine, but gear whore's asthetic needs must Anybody wondering about the power of these tiny things, well, everybody else is mic'd up in the following photo. The bass isn't [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/12647024_10153910918528739_4400397769917726932_n_zpskzclej8e.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/12647024_10153910918528739_4400397769917726932_n_zpskzclej8e.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  3. Further pm's replied. Lee especially, if only it hadn't been black
  4. Saw this on FEEBay and was tempted. Even more so when I see it's one of our own trusted long timers. What to do
  5. [quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1458123948' post='3004841'] Is this the bass that was sold recently by Cotswold Bass Guitars? I recognise the pics from the CBG site. Lovely bass. Shame you can't hold on to it after just getting it. [/quote] And when David had it, I had the money. Unfortunately, I asked him about it three hours after he had sold it
  6. Probably last bump, I know when I'm beaten Fairly sure the only way you can get a new TecAMP version now is from the states. That WILL be expensive. The new EICH T 500 which is Thomas's new company's version of this, is currently around £590, not including gig bag. Speculation I know, but it is likely these well thought of amps may well get harder to come by. Cheers, Karl.
  7. [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1458061745' post='3004321'] Mine has the same width as a typical Jazz, but is fatter from front to back. [/quote] Same here
  8. [quote name='Opticaleye' timestamp='1457984123' post='3003688'] I'm sure that there's a few old shape Umbos still out there that I don't already own [/quote] Buggered if I can find one
  9. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1457962835' post='3003372'] Music isn't fun, it's SERIOUS. [/quote] Obviously not seen me try to play Never mind the playing, I wish my knees and hips would move that far. Not neccessarily at that speed
  10. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1457962156' post='3003355'] Some people have a significantly different idea of what constitutes "entertainment" to my own.... [/quote] Oh lighten up, it's a bit of fun
  11. Love it The lad can play AND entertain, well done him. Mind, the vocalist
  12. Staggered this is still here Steve I have had a little play on this chap a while back and it was rather damn splendid.
  13. STOP IT WITH THE UMBO ALREADY Jealous, moi?
  14. Ye Gods, we were crap. Thank God Mythra weren't.
  15. Thanks Chris, yes, good bass and they do seem generally well thought of
  16. Mods, please feel free to move, delete, execute.......... We (Troyen) are on t'internet radio at 9pm tonight, then streamed for 24 hours afterward, with inbetween guff by one of the gaytartists, Nick.

  17. Thanks Martin, bit of a brain fart yesterday. I suddenly may need some money for an unexpected issue, so remove a "for sale" item. Genius For the sake of clarity, this splendid jazz is for sale, cheers, Karl.

  19. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1457629835' post='3000422'] Call Alex and explain. [/quote] Thanks but I'm a big enough muppet without public confession. Oh, wait........ [quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1457631913' post='3000457'] If you find yourself South Manchester way, I'll sort it for you Karl. [/quote] That's really kind Mr Bunny, you and MB1. Top Basschat chaps! [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1457631920' post='3000459'] Good evening, Karl... Having read through the instructions you've linked, it seems very straightforward to me as a founding member of the Old, Arthritic Clumsy Oaf club, and I wouldn't hesitate in doing this myself, with the proviso that one heeds the [size=5]Very First Line[/size] of said instructions. The key is to unscrew the bolt without pushing downwards on the screw, as this would entail possibly pushing the fixed, captive nut that's inside out of its lodging. It would then drop inside, lost forever. Unscrew those bolts with just the minimum pressure needed to keep the screwdriver in the head of the bolt, ensuring that the bolt rises as you turn it. If the bolt does not rise, stop at once before losing the nut inside and get the experts in. Once the head has risen, even slightly, it can help, too, to use a pair of long-nosed pliers under the head; not to grip tightly, but just to be able to ease the head up as it's being unscrewed. It may help (but complicates things..!) to turn the cab upside down, and work underneath, so that gravity helps the bolt to come out. Hope this doesn't frighten you too much, and wishing every success in your endeavour. Are there no friendly DIY neighbours or family that could advise or help..? [/quote] Excellent Dad, I understand that MUCH BETTER!!! [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1457631936' post='3000460'] Reading through the instructions, they've used T nuts on the inside of the cab. The T nut has prongs on it that bite into the wood as you tighten the bolt into it... All you have to watch out for is that you don't push down on the screw as you turn it - do that and the nut will disattach itself from the wood inside and then you'll have to remove the speaker to get it back. Seriously, it's so easy that even a Mod could do it... [/quote] Ian, legend, now I can visualise I can figure THANKS LADS, top work!
