Quite like the idea, the look & the sound (based on the demo vid) but not the price tag don't suppose they'll sell many

Did they use those machine heads as early as '82? I thought they were later.

[quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1331907197' post='1580766'] I saw this lunchtime someone selling a plastic wedge on ebay for this purpose [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TECHNOFRET-12th-fret-action-gauge-luthier-guitar-tool-/170654512812?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7042855604754301573"]http://www.ebay.co.u...855604754301573[/url] [/quote] Great little tool *piece of plastic* has hundreds of uses when setting up a bass, wouldn't be without mine

I like that Riverside lot thanks for that don't recognise the bass though

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1331898137' post='1580553'] In other news. That Eric dude was annoying. Good work, but annoying. [/quote] You think he was annoying!

Did anyone see the David Attenborough series Natural World prog tonight? Amazing Lemurs & their habitat being destroyed by illegal logging, it made me feel guilty in a way for having fretboards at all! Turned out most of the timber was going to China but also to Gibson USA. Well worth checking it out on iplayer.

Dan enquired then ordered a P-bass kit, great communication, instant payment & a real pleasure to deal with. Thanks Dan, glad it was so easy to fit Cheerz, John

Great have fun out there

[quote name='Raggy' timestamp='1331555845' post='1574607'] Cheers Mark, I usually use Slnkys which are unwrapped, but then I saw this on Rotosounds site [url="http://www.rotosound.com/string_guide.php"]http://www.rotosound...tring_guide.php[/url] Its in the Please Note paragraph. [/quote] Measure your string with regard to the lengths given in that link & if it's outside the specified range - give Rotosound a bell or email. I'm sure they'll soon sort you out.

I saw Pat's wanted ad for a Roland Micro Cube Bass RX & as I wasn't using mine I offered it to him. We had a straightforward exchange of PMs, great comms & instant payment, the amp was his next day! A pleasure to deal with & a pleasure to start a feedback thread for another 'first timer' on the forum. No problems at all - highly recommended Enjoy the amp Pat & have a great time here. Cheerz, John

Another straightforward deal with 1st class comms & again - highly recommended - no problems here!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1331473659' post='1573276'] That's a very specific starting price. [/quote] IIRC - that's about where the bidding had got to - before it was pulled (or pushed)

There's an Elephant in the room, though not a very big one

@Discreet I saw some TOTP2 last night & this reminded me of something [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9ShxkcqUlQ[/media]

A brief history? - interesting 3 minute read, "[color=#777777][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=2]There really is a Fender Bass for everyone"[/size][/font][/color] [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/article/4997-the-fender-bass-guitar-explained-.html?utm_source=Dolphin+Newsletter&utm_campaign=d5baf5ec83-Bass_week3_9_2012&utm_medium=email"]http://www.dolphinmu...tm_medium=email[/url]

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1331316845' post='1571377'] Like these [/quote] I remember our singer/guitard turning up with a brand new H&H PA system one day, pretty good as I recall (at least he could sing 1 out of 2 weren't bad)

In 73 IIRC I bought a Hiwatt 100 & a Orange 2x18 cab - monster! Then went back & got another Hiwatt 100 slave amp shortly after! Ah the good old days Wish I still had the amps Cheerz, John

Welcome aboard Greg, another of similar vintage here, hope you've brought some pies Cheerz, John

Maybe he got a question or 2 via ebay? To which he might have replied - "I am an honest seller - you are obviously a tyre kicker - I am happy to respond to any potential buyers questions, but please dont mail with your stupidity again or I will report you to ebay. BTW Mr Knowledge, Fender did not put a heel date stamp on most necks in 72/73" So if the seller is a Basschatter will he have the front to step forward?

I'm sure that's not a Fender head shape or the way Fender cut the top end of the fretboard, even though the neckplate serial # checks out as a 71, I don't believe the rest of it! Wadaurekon?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1331223540' post='1569788'] Bah! Not a patch on the REAL thing. [/quote] 'Fess up Jack - which one's you

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1331219769' post='1569688'] i just took delivery of my new GK MB210 from Thomann but unfortunately it's come with a Euro power lead (suprise) I have a power lead that fits & i could use but that has a 13A fuse fitted,the GK manual states a 220-240v 10A supply. so can i safely use this lead or do i need to fit a 10A fuse (which i don't have of course) cheers [/quote] I think the GK manual is referring to the capability of the mains supply itself, as in 'the supply you connect it to must be capable of supplying 220-240V at 10A' Your 13A fused UK plug/lead will be fine

Have you seen the additional family/band photo's added? They were certainly a bunch of wide boys!
