Same glitch as before, if I'm in messages, go home - click View new content - it takes me to members. So far it all seems to be running I'd say twice as fast as it was so yippeee! Great improvement Cheerz, John

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1318365333' post='1401292'] If you close everything on your PC and just leave 1 browser window open, run the test. At the end of the test it will ask you if you want to do the same test with a different browser and it will give you a url to cut and paste. Do that with IE, Chrome and Firefox, and compare the scores. I almost guarantee Chrome will win. [/quote] I only had IE8 - now have downloaded Chrome & run the test again - result 2668! Whatever - it's a big difference Cheerz, John

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1318364445' post='1401274'] With IE7 at work I scored 579 With Chrome at home I scored 7886 Chrome works much faster and better for me. [/quote] OK thanks, now I have to assume IE ain't much cop! Should I go for Chrome?

Different PC - Laptop running IE9 & I'm getting the same glitch, every time - if I'm in Messages - got to top of page & click on 'View new content' it takes me to Members, showing the latest new members. Click the VNC box again & it works fine.

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1318325891' post='1400469'] If members are getting different results with different browsers it could have something to do with the add-ons or extensions you have loaded for that browser. This is a testing tool for browser speed - close down all browser windows but one and run the test - You'll have to the test using each browser but it will let you know which is the fastest on your PC.

Bit of a strange one maybe; when I click on 'view new content' very often I get Members instead. I definitely get it every time I come from the message page. I know the Members buton is above the 'view new content' & I certainly click within the correct box. Happens on both my PC & laptop the same. Don't think I've seen this mentioned before, apologies if it's already known about. Cheerz, John

I replied to Mark's 'wanted ad' for P-bass ashtrays on Sunday & a deal was done by PMs in minutes! Excellent comms, spot on payment another perfect basschat transaction, just the way it should be, posted Monday 1st class for Tuesday delivery. Thanks Mark - a pleasure dealing with you, enjoy the covers. Cheerz, John

Some real good old school gear there & the Ashton rig looks the dogs danglies Cheerz, John

When he was on Jools t'other night I thought that was his old gold J he was playing?

Yep - absolutey brilliant - mind you he's younger than me, by 2 weeks

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1318159626' post='1398589'] What, the OP? I certainly can't afford him. [/quote] Ooooh - you'd be surprised duckie Edit: What a post to make my landmark 1000th! Cheerz, John

Amazing - what a gig for a quid - I was 16 in 1967 Remember it well? No TBH can't remember much about it at all probably best that way.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1318113017' post='1398319'] EDIT: BTW, Ginger who? [/quote] Oops - another senior moment must've had Cream on the brain Mitch of course! Speaking of which, some of Jack Bruce's old stuff is all over the place Cheerz, John

I like it - but don't need it - can't see why they didn't change the name? Fat Bastard or whatever - it won't replace my Little Bastard 30

I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix band live when Jimi started playing, Noel thinking WTF's he playing & tuning his P on the fly while trying to keep up. [s]Ginger[/s] Mitch just carried on - smmmokin - regardless. You definitely don't get that today [color=#0000ff]Reason for edit:[/color] [color=#00ffff]A senior moment[/color]

Thanks for the input guys, so maybe it's just a dream bass I'm chasing then The Stax/Volt 67 video is great, not seen that before. So if I was to get a '57 body resprayed CAR with gold plate & a '62 r/w neck, mmmm-mm, a winter project maybe Cheerz, John BTW - I definitely won't be breaking my AVs for the parts

[font="Calibri"]I fancy building/putting together a replica Duck Dunn CAR Precision - not a MIJ or a Laklustre - as close to original (like Duck played way back when) as possible.[/font] [font="Calibri"]Having trouble finding much about it though, could do with some help please. Any pictures or info appreciated.[/font] [font="Calibri"]Thanks,[/font] [font="Calibri"]John[/font]

Gutted for you Gareth, it shouldn't have to be so F'in difficult to get things right

Was there any official filming of it? Even unofficial is it on youtube yet?

^^^ Haha

I think you should add to the list of 'Typical Activities' for any prospective employee; cleaning & maintaining of showroom stock, so they're in a fit state for potential buyers to view/try. Just a personal groan after twice visiting with intent to purchase, only to find basses i was interested in - in an appalling state - on display & a less than interested sales person 'busy' behing the counter. On a brighter note - great job for the right guy! Good luck, John

I swapped GHS 3050 Black Nylons for LaBella 1954 Oldies on my MiJ '51P & was a little worried about the pull on the neck - so much in fact I have left it D tuned (as in DGCF). It would adjust I'm pretty sure but those big old strings just feel better at the lower tension & the neck is happy. So I'd say a set of heavy LaBellas will certainly decrease if not reverse any back bow you may have, sorry don't know about any of the rounds but I'd imagine they'll help. Certainly cheaper than options 1 or 2! Cheerz, John
