[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1407495722' post='2521092'] I got my mum a Samsung one recently to go with her Samsung TV. It turns itself on and off with the TV, it senses it via the HDMI connection. Sometimes it pays to match the brand of the sound system with the TV! Also, you should turn the TV speakers off when using a soundbar, don't try to balance them. [/quote]Yes point taken about matching the brand but I believe the Samsung model was more than I wanted to pay The sound bar + sub on their own sound worse than the TV so the fiddly balancing - to me - is the only way to get a 'decent' sound

I bought a Samsung smart TV which sounded OK on it's own in the shop, but when home it was 'a bit lacking' so I got the Philips soundbar with separate sub, about £85 IIRC. It certainly improves the overall sound but it's such a hassle to turn on, the tiny remote seems next to useless, then every time you have to fiddle about to get the output from both, (TV & bar), balanced. It varies from channel to channel, practically impossible with the HD channels, we end up reverting to standard to avoid the sound problems. Having said that - never sure if it's the TV, the broadcast, or the bar that's mostly to blame it could even be me Edit: Yes from Richer sounds

Great clip - enjoyed that a lot Cheerz

Lozz got in touch for a replacement controls kit for his P/J, great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with, highly recommended 5 star basschatter Cheerz, John

Kenny got in touch for a replacement controls kit for his Jazz, we had a few PMs - great communication, soon sorted & instant payment. A real pleasure to deal with, highly recommended. Cheerz, John

[quote name='Sambrook' timestamp='1406892520' post='2515643'] Apologies if this has been done to death- in theory, I know how to fix an earth problem, but I can't seem to shift this one. My Letts bass has a wooden 2 piece bridge, and is earthed at the metal plate that holds the ball ends of the strings. The earthing inside the cavity looks like it should, but I get an intermittent scratchy sound when I touch the strings; it doesn't do it all the time, and didn't do it at all through a friend's rig, or in his hands. Is there something obvious I'm missing? [/quote]Have you tried a different known good 'instrument lead' to your amp?

Very nice I'd like to have a build of one myself - but I think it would blow me out of my little music room

Pablo had a problem with one of his favourite pedals - a short journey along the coast later - he arrived, pedal in hand It was a pleasure meeting him & I'm pleased to say his deep impact is fully functioning again Top bloke, kept me entertained with some great chops on a couple of my Fenders whilst his pedal was undergoing surgery. Great to meet another basschatter Cheerz, John

Sorted it was a pleasure meeting Pablo today & his pedal is 'making all sorts of horrible noises' once again Cheerz, John

Great player - "I just wish I could do....." - too

[quote name='lowlandtrees' timestamp='1391550186' post='2358563'] Its internal wall.[size=5][i][b] Room gets cold and damp[/b][/i][/size] but all my gear is there without probs. Maybe the strings ...they are quite heavy but have been on for a while. [/quote]There's your problem more than anything else!

It might even help if you put a WANTED - GENE SIMMONS 'AXE BASS' in the Items Wanted forum ^ & yes what tractor said ^

I think the seller needs a reality check - after 24 bids your's was the highest - so how does he get "it's worth more", that's the winning bid, that's how ebay works. I'd be aggravated, (as a buyer).

That one's definitely for the offing

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1405879681' post='2506097'] If that's professional restoration then I'm a Dutchman. Which I'm not. [/quote]I just knew you'd be along soon

I think it needs a bit more Tippex http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-Jack-Casady-Bass-LIMITED-EDITION-WHITE-new-slight-repair-/181468133218?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a4057f762

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1405859185' post='2505841'] And remember that the [b][i][u]calorific value[/u][/i][/b] of your pie and chips can go down as well as up. [/quote]Fixed

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1405858372' post='2505826'] Old valve amps always needed a load. ALWAYS. Never really understood why but so hard to repair back then... so utmost care was taken with loads and impedances. [/quote]Aah! Those old valve amps always have a cab plugged in & usually a pie in a foil tray & chips wrapped in newspaper on top, over the vents to keep nice & hot for after the gig. Never stand your beer on top though - can't stand warm beer although it's always handy to have a pint or 2 closeby in case the newspaper catches light Usual disclaimers apply, please don't try this at home, your home may be at risk etc.etc.
