Some of us do not use FB, Twittter or any form of social media. This is a consequence of the day job where such things are inadvisable at best and career limiting at worst.

Brilliant I was in the warm up band for his gig and we had a chat during the stage change over. He was also kind enough to say some complementory things about my home - brewed bass lines
Please pass on my best if the opportunity presents itself -
It's not a Rumour, but an earlier version, probably not long after the Lowden era. The other one's not a Rumour either by the way...

60 + basses. I thought I was doing well, but I take my hat off to you sir -
I saw the drummer and bassist in The Climax Blues Band do this at the Standard in Walthamstow in the 90's. Looked good at the time

And Merry Christmas to one and all

An assessment by an audiologist would be the way to answer this question properly. I purchased a set of ACS custom moulded ER17 earplugs myself, only to find I couldn't hear the vocals when playing.
I went to an audiologist and it turns out my hearing iof higher frequencies is impaired, As a result, flat response earplugs reduce the overall levels to the point that higher frequencies drop out amongst everything else. The audiologist recommended a set of 9's (another brand they use) and that's made the difference.
Good luck with whatever you do -
Bloody hell, whatever next ?
RIP Rick and thanks for the memories -

I've got one but you can't have it. Sorry.

That's a ringer for one I used to have, all the way down to the white scratchplate (which is my favourite). I'd buy it back in a heartbeat if I had the chance -

Neutrik are a company that make a massive variety of connectors so "a Neutrik socket" is a broad and sweeping statement! They do manufacture combo XLR/jack sockets for line level signals, and combo Speakon/jack sockets for amps/cabs, but both are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to what kit manufacturers choose to fit on their products, as the combo versions are more costly.

This is very true. I meant Speakon socket, I hope most people understood that after my description of it -

And here's the pics:
Thanks for the reassuring feedback guys. Found a couple of unexpected benefits of ownership: shorter than normal case fits across the boot of my car; the bass is stable when you stand it up on the floor thanks to beefy twin strap buttons. All good then!

Very nice indeed, congratulations on the find -
The active ones had very powerful pickups, very light and easy to play. A lot of bass for the money. Was rated in a BC poll a few years ago as one of the 'must play' basses
I owned one from new and sold it to get my first USA P bass. If another one came along at the right time in good condition I'd get it without a doubt. -
Every bass or guitar I played from the 70's until the last few years had a glossy neck. The only problems I ever found with stickiness was due to the neck needing cleaning
Gloss is fine with me, in fact anything else seems to need more finishing -
Thought I'd ask this one, as one of my passive speaker cabs won't accept a 1/4" jack, neither will my Eden i-amp 800 at it's neutrik outputs
Both the plugs I mention above don't have the 'T' appearance of Hazbeen's picture - they have a complete ring around the centre hole. Not sure if this an indicator of something ? -
Bought a strap from Gareth at a very good price indeed. Very happy all round, excellent from start to finish. you can deal with Gareth with confidence
-
Are there any visible indicators as to which type will work with a jack plug ?
-
So, the guitarist in the band is adamant he can use a jack plug in a neutrik socket, but I'm quite dubious TBH.
I've attempted to fit a jack plug in the centre hole, but is seems to be a very tight fit, most unlike a usual jack socket. I honestly don't know if the centre hole of a neutrik socket has ring and tip connectors
Will it work in any shape or fashion ?
Cheers BC -
If you're seriously interested in maintaining guitars, try Dan Erlewine's book 'Guitar player repair guide'
-
Damn, I'd love to try that
-
Surely it would noticeable pretty quickly when played If the windings become detached from the core ?

Thanks BC
I checked the wattage of the iron I used earlier and found it to be 25 watts. I changed it for a 40 watt iron and this helped a great deal, especially after leaving the iron to heat up for at least 15 mins before using it.
Now the tone pot isn't working
