  1. No issues at all. This was the exact stuff I used, in fact it's the same can of glue I used to make my previous Grammabodge well over 10 years ago. The foam is still stuck fast to that one... well what's left of it anyway, since the mice got to it...
  2. There's been a length of the Auralex platfoam stuff lurking in a corner of my spare room/office for donkey's ages, so today I finally got my arris in gear and spent a very pleasant afternoon putting a DIY Gramma together. Turned out really well. Marine ply; foam; offcut of carpet; Evostik spray glue; staples/staple gun; corner plates; screws.
  3. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! - Vaughn Monroe
  4. V.nice bit of lovers' rock. Song's better than the video, which TBH looks like a moving Freemans catalogue.
  5. OT for a second... Did you ever get a resolution of that in the end? Things were moving from what I recall of our last exchange. PM if you'd rather not say publicly.
  6. Fight The Power - Public Enemy
  7. Listening to The Beat's "Ranking Full Stop" with a view to working it into the ska band's set. It's never struck me before just how much the lyric sounds like "ranking foolscap"...

  8. They did that in a single cab with the BFC, back when heavy cabs were still cool. It didn't exactly fly out of the doors. Neither did the bright box IIRC. I don't think people want massive stacks any more. I agree that a FRFR 15+8+HF would have been really nice. And the dual band compressor. And, hopefully *keeps fingers tightly crossed* some Trace DNA... From what I can see, the only differences between the B Transit and this new boy are a mid control, a tuner and the overdrive. The mid would have been nice, but the other two are not things I'd want in an amp anyway.
  9. 76lbs would be fine if it was cheap. $1499 would be fine if it was a lightweight single cab solution. As it is, if you want 4ohms it'll cost 3 large and weigh as much as a rhino. Nah.
  10. I don't have a P-J bass, but I do have a P-MM. Those pickups sound awesome together.
  11. Gert lush, even. Very very much so.
  12. Walking in the Air - Aled Jones
  13. Rather that than a big hall of tippy tappy heros that you can't get away from.
  14. About time too, what an excellent idea. I still won't be going due to geographical (and consequently fiscal) considerations, but it will certainly make the day a lot more bearable for those that do go. Definitely worth taking your own cans though, from a purely health POV.
  15. Heaven Can Wait - Judie Tzuke
  16. Three Coins in the Fountain - ol' blue eyes
  17. Yamaha make absolutely fabulous basses and this is their best ever IMO.
  18. Neither do I at that price. This looks in great condition. A proper bargain. I do wish more 80s manufacturers had done the Status/Jack/Superheadless route of a full body rather than trying to go all Steinberger-minimalist. Mind you, the body on this looks a bit bigger than the Steiny cricket bat, which can only be a good thing.
  19. Agreed entirely. Well, the EQ section seems ok, but it's the core sound. I've tried to like them, I really have, but I just... don't. And also agreed entirely here too. Although in my case it's got to better my Shuttle 9.2.
  20. We've had 9, so... Ten Green Bottles - trad.
  21. "...and now, Hugh is going to sing 'Nice 'n' Sleazy' to the tune of 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun'..."
  22. The 1st Picture Of You - The Lotus Eaters
  23. Worth absolutely every penny. I have Elixir nickels on my Sire V7, they've been on there for over 2 years now and whilst admittedly there haven't been all that many gigs in that time, they are still almost as bright as when I put them on. I've got Elixir steels on the ska bass and they've lost none of their zing either, despite the bashing they get. I love the way they feel, really smooth and fast.
