Dropped over to Ash's the other night to trade a guitar for some PA stuff. We spent a good while just chatting about music and books, going through his loooooverly bass collection and playing around with some sound engineering bits and bobs. Besides the trade, it was nice to spend some time with a genuine trustworthy person involved in music. Welcome over mine for a cuppa any time Ash Cheers Tom

Just bought a graphic eq from Mike. It's nice to see when someone's taken the extra time and expense to package something decently, I was impressed by the care and attention, it says a lot about the sender. Communications were excellent too. Thanks for a nice piece of equipement Mike All the best T

Just did a straightforward deal with Owen for some xlr and jack plugs. No complications, quick and easy, just the job. Thanks Owen, a pleasure T

Put an ad out recently for a container to keep my new H4n safe and sound. Jez stepped up and kindly supplied me with a lovely tin that does the job just right. He didn't even ask me for postage bless 'im Top man that Jez

I've known two scumbags to start a fight in one part of a pub to draw attention to them. Meanwhile, their 3rd scumbag team member goes to the stage to grab a guitar while everyone's watching the fight Stay with your gear if you think there's the slightest chance anything will go missing. Deputise the job to somone else at your peril.

The drums on this are as crisp and precise as F***, while doing some very quick fills to boot. Everyone else is as tight as can be too, real precision playing here. Quality [url="http://youtu.be/QT8fyQpmPr4"]http://youtu.be/QT8fyQpmPr4[/url]

Noooooooooo ! Over the years it's only been a question of time before I've played Ziggy, Aladdin Sane and Hunky Dory once again. As a result I've probably heard Trevor's bass lines more than anyone else's when all's said and done. It would have been a treat to tell him how much his work was appreciated. Thank you for so much Trevor, your work lives on

Also check the Peavey manual for operation of the amp. Case in point is the Peavey MKIV 400 head. Peavey recommend you turn the output gain up full and then turn up the pre amp stage to suit, counter intuitive to many amp controls.

Thank you for sharing your fledgeling moments BA. Sitting here, looking at your pictures and hearing your, I can't help but reflect on how different things often are for the young budding musician. Like you, I made music as a yoof with whatever I could get my hands on, as I had no money of my own to speak of. How different to the situation for many of us today, as we spend time sifting the forum buying this and that. Just wonder, do many of us try a lot harder with our music when we only have the bare minimum to do it with ?

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1366212754' post='2049696'] I'm on my 6th set of pickups in my Silver Squier Jazz. I've tried standard Mex, DiMarzio model Js, original 30 year old 1970s Seymour Duncans, Wizard 64s, Road Worn vintage Alnicos and of course the original Japanese Squier pickups. Each pickup definitely had their own character and were, in my opinion, very different to one another. But If I wasn't a bass player I doubt I would be able to tell one from the other. What I figured out in the end was, that by fitting a John East pre amp to my Jazz, I could get the cheapest set of pickups sounding like the most expensive on the market and everything in between. So the moral is, don't fork out for expensive designer pickups, buy a pre amp instead. [/quote] Oh yes. Guitarnuts is a great site by the way Nige.

Name and shame

Photos would be helpful....

On the bright side, a cello and four string bass are the same scale length. I adore my cello

Are you sure it's tendon damage ? is it something else ? is something else involved as well ? Without knowing what the exact problem is, it's not possible to provide good advice about how to treat the problem or estimate healing time. Best bet = start with the G.P. and take it from there. All the best for a speedy recovery
