another fellow Falkirk member - there seems to be a growing number of us on here now

Hmm, are you sure its mid 90s? That sounds more to me like a series 6 or older model before they brought in the tuning ports for the GP7/12 series. I think the picture about is of the 90s era carpet covered models. Prior to that they were covered in vinyl which came out early 90s but had no red stripes. I think you'd have to go back to the series 6 stuff and before to find a 4x10" with red stripes and no tuning ports on the front GP7 era vinyl cover with tuning ports and no red stripe: [url="http://img685.imageshack.us/i/dsc06271large.jpg/"][/url] Series 6 era 1x15" red stripe, no tuning ports and vinyl covering: [url="http://img685.imageshack.us/i/dsc04921large.jpg/"][/url] MkV 1110 4x10" combo, vinyl cover, red stripes and no ports [url="http://img138.imageshack.us/i/dsc04894large.jpg/"][/url]

That'll be the new Ernie Bell Magic Man Stingrae

I'm finding a big volume difference as well as tone change required - The Thunderbird seems a lot louder when used with a pick

I'm finding myself using a pick a lot more often than I used to and am looking for a quick way to adjust my settings between pick and fingers inbetween songs without having to constantly turn round to the amp and change everything. Ii had been thinking about a simple EQ pedal but was wondering if something like a Hartke pedal or similar would be better?

Looks like the troll has gone off to be fed elsewhere

I'm going to be keeping an eye on it but don't want to pay over the odds.

One for the eagle-eyed - Nick Mason Drops a stick during One of these days. Who knows who played what cos there;s a lot of debate as to who played on which songs. The only way to tell if its Roger is if you can actually see him playing. One of my biggest influences

Most of the time I only ever own 1 because one will get used more than the other so invariably the second one will get sold, another one bought and so on. If it was how many basses have you owned then I'd be in the high 70s but have only ever owned about 5 at any one time

I remember talk about a Cliff Williams AC/DC signature Musicman Stingray being made that was tuned E E E E definitely +1 for a John Deacon model I built myself a Phil Lynott tribute bass. pictures are lurking in the bowels of the gear porn section and I still have the scratchplate which is designed to fit a Mex Precision if anyone's interested. I haven't got round to firing all my bits and bobs up yet

If I take into consideration all the wheeling and dealing I've done this year and considering I bought my GK amp brand new and everything else second hand, I've spent about £300 net for all the gear in my sig.

If those are real horseshoe pickups expect them to go for silly money - even Lollars would push the price up quite a bit

No idea how I haven't posted this before now [url="http://img688.imageshack.us/i/dsc06298large.jpg/"][/url] The reason I very rarely post on the amps forum now

2 of the bestest upgrades you can make to a precision

I used to play in a band that played the king of the jazz genre - Dixieland As far as I am concerned, the Dixieland Jazz sound is the best Jazz. Coming from playing in a big band where the dots were written in stone to having the chords written out was like a roaming dog having it's lead removed

I played the Intro to NIB by Black Sabbath at a gig in Galashiels and only realised when the guitarist came in that I'd began playing it in the wrong key. We had to stop and start again - my worst mistake ever. At the quiet bits in Do You Love Me by the Contours I play a slap bass part and the last time it does it a variation of 'Popeye' I sometimes do a Status quo type rocking of my bass when playing When we're giving the wedding guests a run through of a Dashing White Sargeant I tap some of the bassline. A few months ago we were playing Don't believe a word by thin Lizzy and I began playing Wishing Well by Free

Get yourself an old Trace 1518, that's what I used the combo with. An incredible combination and you can pick them up on Ebay for around the £100 mark if you are patient.

Mainly no - I've owned many a top end bass but am currently happy with my Epiphone Thunderbird One thing I've never been able to get my head around are US made Peaveys coming out around the £1000 mark. I know they're done a lot of truly impressive workhorse rigs over the years but I still think of them as making cheap basses so have never considered them. If something looks bad then I;m not going to consider it, eg I;d never have a Stagg - my local Crack Generator / Smack Convertor usually has loads and the little metal badge on the headstock is always missing. If they can;t glue a little thingy to the headstock then it doesn;t say much about them as a manufacturer.

I had the same problem on my 20th anniversary stingray and part of the reason I sold it. Musicman won't let you buy a new one but what they offered to do for me was if I sent them my own one, they would send me a new one but if I remember correctly I would have to pay the full price for the new one.
