Haha... You better than me then!  

I’ve got an electric guitar... cant do anything with it hardly, so its collecting dust at the moment!

Got a Bass too (got it with the electric guitar), I can do basic stuff on that! However I seem to get so far with it, then hit a limit where I don’t seem to get better, so I then get bored! The bass had a coat of dust on it the other day, so I decided to make some noise practice again. (Which reminds me, I need to fix my bass amp so I can drive my parents crazy play it without using headphones!)

I also had a mad moment about 9 months ago, where I bid on a drum kit on ebay, and won it! Mum and Dad still keep having a go at me, and tell me to sell it every other week!
Again, I can do some basic stuff on it, and keep having a bash on it every other day - but I seem to have hit a wall with it and don’t seem to be getting any better  

Maybe I should dig the keyboard out of the loft and give that ago again!   :-?

I repair Guitar Amps & PA equipment so if ever you're passing the Basingrad area.........................

Cheers mate,

Its an ashdown bass amp. Same as this:


Works fine (or did!) - but the bulb went in the UV meter, so I took it to bits so I could replace it... I did find a replacement bulb (about a year ago) but never ordered it, and its still in bits now!

Do you know what voltage the bulb is? I seem to think it was about 6-7v ish?

If it's the model I think it is the lamp runs on 15v

Ah right. Could be. I dont think it was a standard voltage IIRC (ie 6/12v). I do know that there is a 15v supply to the front PCB, so it could be (-15, Gnd , +15). Will Stick the meter on it one day.

I've just put it all back together (had the front PCB out, so had to solder on 5 wires - dead easy!) And ive found all the knobs, washers and nuts too which is unbelivable!

All back up and running again, minus a back light... meh!

My friends all had solid finger tips, built up over the years, not soft, just calluses

Well I have been at it again for a few hours  

Got small round blisters under the skin on my finger tips   as long as I put my grooved finger tips on the string it ok  

Spent ages with the laptop infront of me strumming away to it. got the cords sorted now, just the strumming and timing  

Got a Capo today too  for a fiver

And my bloody fingers and hand are aching off....

I was up until 2 am last night trying to get these cords right, I could no longer push the strings so packed it in for the night..

I have had a Strat copy Guitar from a local music shop, which came with a practise amp, bag, stand etc for £99.

Youtube seems to be pretty good to get a few lessons

Thanks Guys and Gals for all your help with trying to pick out on.
