Ive yet to find a compressor pedal that I like. The rack mount units (and plugins for that matter) seem to be a lot more effective. For bass, I think multiband compressors are a lot more useful.

Step 1. Convince the gullible crew on an Internet forum.

I'd highly recommend adding in the wood dust. It will make for a much better looking repair... and is easier to build up that lacquer (although never having worked with nitro, I can only speak in terms of poly). When lacquered, a block with wet and dry and through the grades and a polish will make for a very good looking repair.

And the Feathers!

Pretty much. mind you, it's not the sound aspect (or not) as to why these systems sell. They look prettier in wedding photos. They are portable - and for a lot of people - good enough.

Give Larry a shout. Say that you are concerned with sticking with Hartke given your experience.

The guy in question could wellbe old enough to have seen off a few German's in his time...

Ah! You know of the deck chair.

Ah so you're the drunken busker round my way?

May go in there, order a pint... and then proclaim how much cheaper I can get it in Tesco.

Oh jeez. Man, there's gonna be a new level of utter trash in there now then. Does the guy that dresses like a deck chair still frequent the place?

Ah - the Dave Swift move.

This is why I tend to do all my shopping online. The less I have to interact with people, the better. I was in Sheffield at a café - took me 15 minutes to get through the checkout. Cold chips. Today... been at a coffee shop... first time getting through the till, 20 minutes. Second, 7. Both times there was 2 or less people in front of me in the queue.

With regards to specialist shops, I'm prepared to cut them a bit of slack... lets face it, it must be boring looking at bass guitars all day... once the novelty has worn off. And lets face it, we'd all be beaching if these shops closed down. Next time go in there and tell them what you want there and then. And once when the deal is done, tell them how diabolically stinky poo the experience was.

You're right, it's not the first one I was thinking about thinking about but the second one that I had first had second thoughts about thinking about that I was then thinking about.

I haven't seen him at many shows in the last few years? They'll be a find Clutterbuck post soon...

Youve already said enough to let us know who you are talking about!

Ah! I didn't know it was nitro. Wouldn't really know what to do with nitro. As for building up the wood and cracks, make a fine dust of matchsticks (or maple if you have some the same colour as the neck) and make up a paste of wood and superglue to fill the area. Then sand flat. Then lacquer (with whatever you use over poly)

Punters walk through the centre of the band to go for a ciggie for crying out loud. Mind you, the bogs are fully representative of an originals venue. Always been wary of the plug feeding the stage has been situated right where the punters are sitting.

Oh jeez! Well that would explain why the quality of the music has gone down to beyond shyte. Mind you, he's always been a funny one in there.

Yup. There's some cheap MIDI options out there now that could do you. Or it you want to use the footswitch approach, you could program up the logic into a PIC microprocessor or similar depending on how project based you are feeling! Downside to both of these is that you would have to power the remote switch somehow. Bit more hassle than a passive unlatched/latch.

Skim the neck to your profile.

Two mounted close together would do you... one stomp for both.
