Rescued another one...

It's not about the money, it's about the beer

Beer and playing live with your mates doesn't get any more fun than that

I use to feel bored or lost, looking for something, day after a gig, even if it was a weekend. Needed to carry on in the vein of the previous night but apart from beer n yer mates you become joe blogs again until the next time

I did just that in 2002ish, went down to northen guitars in leeds and said how much. 5 mins later it was in there shop and I was back on my way home.


Then, started collecting again about 3 years ago. Now got 9 decentish basses and one or two probable scrappers.

Its highly unlikely that I will join another band but you never know, there could be some other aged like minded musos out there that want a bit of a giggle

I hate to interrupt the important topic going on this thread (beer), but to get back to the title topic, I got started on the cleanup of the Peavy Foundation and Minx 110 this weekend. The Foundation is disassembled and ready to start refinishing. On the Minx 110 a friend of mine who is good with electronics helped me find the issue with it - broken solder joint on the ground of the input jack. A little solder applied and it's good as new.

Next step is cleaning up the tolex cover on the Minx 110 and reassembling it. Then I'll have a “Battle of the Combo Amps” between it and my Orange Crush 50BXT - I really don't need two “coffee house” sized amps.
