    My Wal cost me £330 in 1986. Thankfully I still have it.

    [quote name='dood' timestamp='1489678488' post='3258924'] I had to 'reshape' my stands for my 7 string. The neck on my Shuker isn't massive as I use a 16mm spacing, but I had to go to work on my stands by gently opening the hefty metal neck supports. The neck just squeezed in but I knew it was safe. Now I just use those tour stands that allow instruments to slide in sideways instead. This sort of thing: [/quote] Yes, I have one of those too. Some of the foam coverings started to perish on mine, so I stripped it off and replaced it with some of that foam pipe-lagging stuff you get from the DIY stores. It works a treat.

    [quote name='Norm' timestamp='1491214013' post='3271198'] Ay up! Found some pennies down the back of the sofa? A 5str maybe or a fretless 4? 😁 [/quote] Alas no, but I have found a nice big bit of scrap mahogany for his wood store

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1491209440' post='3271150'] Had a quick go on the K1 at the SW Bash yesterday. Given the restrictions of having others trying out gear near by, I only got the impression of loads of headroom and tone in such a small package without being able to really let rip. It dwarfed my 802, literally and physically. Had the following all lined up, left to right: 802,Ninja 102, K1, Multiamp and Evo. [/quote] Have to say I was very impressed with what I heard of it yesterday. I'd only had limited exposure to Markbass gear before yesterday but it was a bit of an eye opener. Kev tried my Sire V7 through part of his MB armoury and it sounded fantastic.

    [quote name='Treb' timestamp='1490985498' post='3269676'] Reading the thread title I thought Mark King had become a MarkBass endorser... [/quote] Wouldn't surprise me. He's a bit of an endorsement tart

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1490883906' post='3268797'] Or one of these... [/quote] Ooh good call. I've always had a bit of a hankering for an Urge. I suppose you could call it an Urge urge. Ahem.

    Jabba, you have a PM.

    Oh blimey. The cheese scones.

    If you can track down a pre-enjoyed Yamaha TRB-5P, grab it with both hands. Fantastic instruments.

    [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1491165666' post='3270993'] Put me down for next year now please. [/quote] Aye, what he said.

    [quote name='Norm' timestamp='1491157639' post='3270912'] Jabba! Thanks Rich, thats the fella! Agreed the 5 str was sweet! I think he got a couple of orders? 😎 [/quote] I'm not surprised. If I had spare cash I'd snap that fiver up immediately. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1491157747' post='3270914'] Keep the pictures coming! [/quote] Oh, I think there'll be plenty of great pics. Miss Scrumpy spent the whole day snapping away!

    PRICE DROP - £60 inc shipping Up for sale is my Trantec S4.5 wireless kit. Comes complete with Trantec rack tray, and my homemade remote aerial arrangement complete with brand new stubby aerials. It might look slightly Heath Robinson, but it works a treat and hugely increases the range when the unit is rackmounted. Also includes downloaded manual, jack lead, Trantec power supply, and brand new PP3. Everything you need to get going straightaway. My only reason for selling is that there were a total of 8 (yes, eight) UHF wireless rigs in my band, and we simply ran out of spare frequencies! So to solve the problem, I went digital and bought a Line 6 G55. Looking for [b][s]£80[/s] £60 posted[/b]. A bargain when you consider the rack tray on its own costs 40 quid..! Not really interested in trades, thanks. [i]EDIT: Just to add that the rack tray is NOT permanently fitted -- the receiver is held on by two screws and can be made standalone in the blink of an eye.[/i] [i] [/i]

    Setting up Jabba's works of art (oh, that 5 string...) Carlsberg don't make pedalboards, but if they did...

    Mine is a Tanglewood 'Rosewood Reserve'. Lovelier than a lovely thing, and recommended.

    Sean's Feedback

    Rich replied to Sean's topic in Feedback

    I bought Sean's J&D Jazz for a mate. What an absolutely thoroughly bloody nice bloke, we had a nice chat and he proudly showed me his impressive mint-green rig collection Definitely made the drive worthwhile. This how transactions should be. Hope to meet again some time.

    DIY Effects

    Rich replied to JackLondon's topic in Effects

    [url="http://www.rshelectronics.co.uk"]RSH Electronics[/url] are another good source. I've dealt with them a few times and their service is very quick. Very reasonable prices and free P&P for orders over £30.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1490718833' post='3267366'] Guitarists = 10 a penny, a good [s]drummer[/s] [b]keyboard player[/b] = priceless. [/quote] In turn, fixed for you. Last couple of times I've tried putting a project together, it's always ended up with an ivory-tinkler-shaped hole in it.

    [b]Frost*[/b] in Southampton, next Thursday. Can't wait. I haven't been this excited about a gig in [i]years[/i].

    Funny, that. Whenever someone opines to me that 80s music was boring and crap, I usually give them albums like Rio, World Machine, Bangs & Crashes (Go West) and Radio Musicola (Kershaw) as prime examples of [i]non-[/i]boring/crap 80s music. Thank god we all like different stuff, eh?

    I must be really lucky. In 30 years of playing, all the drummers I've ever played with have been really nice, stable guys.

    Your local is open all day on a Saturday then?
