Gumtree is full of that kind of crap. It always starts off with "is it still available" and then you get the "will you send it to somewhere in Africa. Le sigh. I will never attempt to sell anything on there again. I only ever got one genuine response, I know it was local because it was a cheeky lowball offer

I can't top that. Here's my "who said that?" look: photo by Andy Thorn

If you came here hoping for sensitive, relevant discussion then I think you may end up being disappointed. Actually, that's pretty much the whole of the internet covered. Mind you, it's nothing that didn't happen in playgrounds years before the whole internet thing took off. Examples of "jokes" I remember from my youth - "What does NASA stand for?" "Need Another Seven Astronauts!" "What has four legs and goes woof?" "Piper Alpha!" - grim, immature and borderline if you would get a laugh or a smack in the mouth at the time, the passage of time hasn't changed it much - please don't flame me, I'm merely quoting it for reference purposes. My point is that it's happened before and it'll happen again, particularly because the whole internetness of it means there's very little risk of an actual smack in the mouth.

Yes, I'm a little confused too - I use a Hartke 3500 head into an 8 ohm Ashdown ABM 4x10. This gives me an output of 230W (it's 350W @ 4 ohm). It's at 1 in the house and I've never needed to have it higher than 5 or 6 for stage monitoring purposes during a gig. So that, coupled with the fact that I'm not even using the amp to its full potential means that I'm not concerned about headroom for the moment - it would seem that so far in my (limited) experience I have plenty and therefore no need for a volume knob which goes to 11.

Pics help to stir up interest.

None for me thanks. I've been to a couple in my time and to be honest I don't get the whole blissed out festival atmosphere thing - to me it's a weekend of living in faux squalor, surrounded by far too many loud, drunk people, crap food, crap beer and the nagging feeling all weekend that the ticket price could have been put to some better use. Each to their own though. Maybe I'm just too old now.

Also there's no time gap mentioned between "A few hours later it was jet black" and "I then took it to the globe and played a gig in there". Please tell me there was an appreciable time gap (days rather than hours)

That was a really bad crash, just as well no-one was seriously hur... oh dear. OR I fold, the car's yours.

Appeal rejected. Good. Now can we please get back to the racing?

But I'm not looking at it from a slow connection. I just clocked my connection at 29.2Mbps. Domestic broadband is up to 8Mbps. Your site is too bloody slow for the vast majority of internet users out there. Which means a lot of people will have to "make do with (y)our MySpace page until technology catches up".

Sorry, it takes far too long to load - and that's looking at it from a Uni connection. No matter how pretty it is, it far outstrips your average internet user's attention span.

"the tinks" will ambush you soon...

Did you realise this forum is in the UK? What are you quoting for shipping to the UK?

No arguments with that from me. The onstage sound was really good, I could hear everyone else no problem.

If the top of it is flat (which it looks like it is) then yes. Hopefully they've copied the bridge well and the screw holes line up, but it's no biggie to fill and redrill.

Carved top.

I don't have anything much in the spares box, I had a clear out recently. I have a Squier P bass body lying around, but it isn't in superb nick - some dents and will definitely need refinishing. Judging by the second part of your request, I doubt that would float your boat Good luck with the project P bass, I was pleased with the way mine turned out.

People who welch on any agreement, be it verbal or written have no honour. Yes, life gets in the way and circumstances change. However, just pretending that nothing's happening isn't the way ahead. The best weapon to combat the adversity of change is honest and open discussion.

This Daily Mail tripe has convinced me that it's worth a punt: Parents horrified as most violent video game ever to launch on 'family friendly' Wii | Mail Online 'I believe it will spoil the family fun image of the Wii.' - not everyone wants to play Cooking Mama. To quote Anthrax's song 'Startin' Up A Posse' - 'you've got the choice, don't buy it, don't read it and don't say your opinion's right'

I went in there once, thought it was somewhat lacking in atmosphere, had a nostalgic moment to myself rearranging it in my head to the way Ici was with the bar in the middle as you come in and the cocktail list up above (or was I just always mangled when I used to go in there and dreamed all that up?), shook my head, left and never went back.

NEVER click on anything which suddenly pops up telling you that your computer is full of viruses/worms/trojans which mysteriously appears when you load a webpage. If you do, it soon will be. These popups are the computer equivalent of someone walking around with a sandwich board saying "END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH". Do you talk to them? Exactly. Uninstall the expired antivirus and install either AVG or Avast as the previous poster said.

If it was on when it was submerged, it was probably dead from that moment. If it wasn't, you probably didn't wait long enough for the drying. In any case, being unable to physically disconnect the battery probably sealed its fate. Either way, there isn't really a civilian fix to it - these days for most consumer electronics are so integrated (and complex) that all even the official repair types do is swap out whole circuit boards.
