  1. Best thing you can do is call or email Ashdown, they have all their serial number info pretty handy! They dated my EVO II head when I took it over to them, one of the UK built ones. Your cab looks very similar to mine though, and mine has to be 6 or 7 years old! Si
  2. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='832628' date='May 9 2010, 10:23 PM']We had two different parties who were previously interested but one is dragging their feet and the other is now subject to a NZ police investigation for fraud.[/quote] I LOVE this quote! Si
  3. I can hear 19khz, then nothing onwards But at 26, I would hope that would be the case lol Si
  4. I'm the same....always wondered why so many use straplocks, I can kinda understand it for high-octane stage performances (although I didn't use them during my tenure in a heavy band).....but jazzers and whatnot who have to change all their basses to straplocks.......don't get it! Si
  5. Wow, a really nice example!! Good luck with it!! Si
  6. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='832989' date='May 10 2010, 12:51 PM']Being condescending! That's like pouring petrol on the flames! *subscribed*[/quote] Only you could turn that around! When everyone gets on and discusses the topic like adults, I'll edit my post lol I take it all tongue in cheek, you should too Anyway, simply from a lesser of two evils point of view (i'm not a big fan of either band), I'll take flea.....he has character......and was in Back To The Future 2! Si
  7. Play nice children.....if you feel like an aggressive post is boiling up in you, go and look at another thread!! Regardless of age, everyone here should be adult enough to realise these threads never agree, so whats the point in arguing? Si
  8. [quote name='moonbass' post='832690' date='May 9 2010, 11:44 PM']....although I've never done Rent I suspect as it's more modern there's probably a lot of notes up the dusty end of the fretboard though, so perhaps a difficult debut.....[/quote] Definitely, shows like Wicked are all over the place for the bass!! Some wonderful lines and amazing songs though!! Si
  9. Whenever I've been at a west end show, there also seems to be a fair few notes lower than low-E, so perhaps a 5 string will help you out from that perspective alone and with playing positions etc +1 for the technical exercise being a moot point, everything you need to know, notes, tempo, groove etc is written on the pad! Good luck if you do go for it! Si
  10. Seems like I unwittingly have one as well! My A series (SQ spec.) 1985 Japanese Squier: [url="http://img249.imageshack.us/i/fullfront.jpg/"][/url] Which I noticed last night is a slab board......which is nice lol Si
  11. Wow, got enough winding on your string pegs there? Looks like a beauty, If I wasn't saving for an old one........well, then I'd be a bit richer......but I am, so good luck Si
  12. I actually have triplets.......I'll have to hit ped up for that photo shoot Si
  13. If anyone is floating about Shorditch tonight, come and see your faviroute BassChat live hiphop band ! We're headlining, so onstage about 10:30, 3 bands on before hand, around £7 on the door I think, although If I know you're coming I can get you cheap list, which probably only makes it around £6 but hey, every little helps Here's the facebook event for those who partake in such activities!: [url="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=512812090&v=wall&story_fbid=391715707090&re793317f&refid=0#!/event.php?eid=110496018991549&ref=ts"]http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=512...1549&ref=ts[/url] Cheers all Si
  14. Thanks very much Bubinga! Rudy's was the one I was trying to find, but couldn't remember the name Cheers Si
  15. I've seen one on BassNW But we'll see, just options! I would love another jazz Andrew, but I have three lovelies already, and want a lush Precision to finish me off (famous last words). Hope you're well mate! Will check some of these places, cheers Si

    BEAT THE RED LIGHT

    Ah hello mate! Played with last Saturday at Bucks New Uni, we were on before you.....the Hippity Hop band! Unfortunately I only caught your soundcheck cos I had to rush to East London for another gig lol, soundcheck was wicked though!! Si
  17. Yes, that would be ace....then you can bring one back for me!.....thanks Si
  18. Anyone got any links to US (or UK (not the usuals)) shops that ship overseas with good vintage Fender bass stock? Precisions specifically There was one that was posted here about 3 months ago, but can't remember what it was called Chars Si
  19. Try Jon Shuker, he made me a neck for a very reasonable price. I had Binding and Birdseye fingerboard, so yours would probably be a bit cheaper! Si
  20. Did you see the article about the P-retro in this months BGM?, or know about it before hand? Have you tried the '64 with rounds in a gigging enviroment? Si
  21. I just couldn't put all my faith into in-house monitors, some of the places I've played couldn't handle any type of bass frequency! Rather just cover all bases and take my amp! In-ears are a bit different, but I'd still miss the air being moved behind me! Si
  22. For me its not the fact that its collectible, and removing the solder will somehow devalue it. It's that it's a 46 year old bass, sounds like a cool 46 year old bass, so use it as such (with amp and outboard controls ). If I wanted an active bass, I'd buy a MIJ or MIA and put the preamp in that Si
