Kim @kwmlondon and I met up last night to arrange his collection of my EBS cab (which is now on its 4th BC owner!). Thanks to a great idea on his part, we were able to coordinate our arrival times at the rendezvous point to within 5 mins of each other. Smashing guy, a credit to the forum. Hope you have a great xmas with the fam Kim!

Looks like it could be a Rick Turner..?

The problem here is that now I'm looking at a couple of my headed basses and thinking they'd look pretty good with a trip to the guillotine... not so much GAS as GBS -
41 years ago today, the crews of the MV Union Star and the RNLI Penlee lifeboat Solomon Browne all perished in a force 12 storm off the Cornish coast. The actions of the Penlee boat crew were later described by the rescue helicopter pilot as "The greatest act of courage that I have ever seen, and am ever likely to see".

*ON HOLD* Classic lightweight cab in great condition, apart from the fact that the 12" drivers are both stone dead. The crossover and HF tweeter are still perfectly ok. So this is effectively an empty cab. The carpet is in superb condition, all the corners are fine, the grille is un-dented and all badges are present and correct. £100 firm, either collected from my gaff or alternatively I'd be prepared to meet up within a reasonable radius from Bristol, as far east as Chippenham. Courier would cost a fortune and I don't have the packaging materials. No offers please, and not really interested in trades. -

Just the thing for that 'high end project'
Rich replied to Rich's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
When it says 'high end', presumably it means right at the very top of the woodburner log pile..? -

Gentle reminder: do not leave comments that could undermine a member's sale post. Thanks! -
Was that one he'd written? God I'm not surpised he was chuffed. That's a proper result for any song-scribbler.

The "It's a long story" is a link to the, errm, long story TL;DR version: it's a bitsa/butchering job specifically engineered towards ska/bluebeat, only has the one pickup because I found I just wasn't using the bridge pickup

It's a long story...

I even went and had a little boogie with the punters during our Night Boat encore

Second gig of the Train To Skaville micro-tour last night... Haydon Wick Social Club in Swindon. Nice place, pleasant management and a keen crowd. It was open to the public, so a lot of the Madchat crowd turned up. We went down extremely well, quite a few club members paid us big compliments afterwards and we're guaranteed a booking or two for next year. Makes the 02:30 bedtime worthwhile

I drink a lot of coffee during the day. A lot. But none of it ever tastes as good as the first cup of the day.

Not at all. I use a 5 string 100% with the Destroyers but rarely venture below Eb or D (for which I could drop tune a 4) and I don't feel remotely pretentious. For me the main advantage of a 5 is the ability to play across the neck rather up & down.

Skaville gig in Bradford on Avon last night. Not quite as busy as previous years, only 2 deep at the bar rather than 3 this time we sounded good and seemed to go down well. @BreadBin came along, nice to see a familiar friendly face! Doing it all over again in Swindon tonight. The usual gear... Skabass -> Shuttle 9.2 -> Barefaced Super 12T. Sounded feckin massive.

Only 27? Pfft. Amateur hour.
