Up for grabs my beautiful Lakland Bob Glaub PJ. Started out as a P and someone added a J pick up ( very well executed) and stripped it to natural. Was truly awfully stripped so I had it properly prepared by David Wilson and painted a lush copper nitro. All imperfections were address and the finish is flawless. Pups are Lollar and it comes with Lakland Case. For sale something else has come up I wasn’t expecting and I kinda want it. If that sells this will be withdrawn. Collection and test drives welcome up here at home studio or I can courier fully insured at extra cost. Thanks all 🤘6 points -

RM 210c 500 combo RM 210 cab just a beautiful little rig. I’m going to a single 410/head setup. this is as loud as anyone will need. the combo is a little older and has a small tear in the grill. But so hard to see. the 210 is a marvellous little cab, so ridiculously light. I can’t store 2 rigs - otherwise it would be staying. combo is £649 new £400 or nearest offer (it’s about 18 months old) cab is £280-£300 new £200 or nearest offer (it’s about 1 year old) collection from Manchester (M27) preferred. Shipping can happen but will be ridiculously expensive and risky.5 points -
For paints and clear coats auto acrylics (not enamels) are worth considering. They dry as hard as nails and don't feel sticky like poly can. If you can find an auto paint specialist store, a place that makes up paint and spray cans for customiser's and vintage car nuts, they should be able to match nearly all Fender colours as the colour codes are readily available. I won't spray nitro anymore, my lungs have had a hard enough 60 odd years without adding acetone, toluene and the like to my life time contaminants load. Anyway, Lucite (acrylic) lacquer paints were used by Fender, some colours were exclusively Lucite. (Particularity the metalic finishes.) Here's a couple of quick (and decidely average) shots of my "Stang" type 6 string in Surf Green auto acrylic.5 points

It has to resonate and things resonate with different people in different ways. For some, it is the dance, for others the song. For me it was always the notes, the chords, the harmony, the sounds. Prog does that for me in a way that other genres don't. I don't like Floyd because the rhythms are generally unsophisticated, that harmonies a little too diatonic and so on. Yes and Genesis had more of that going on, arrangements that went somewhere unpredictable, glorious range of instruments, solo guitar to massive soundscapes etc etc. I do think a lot of new Prog lacks that breadth and it can be a little 'formulaic' but the music industry in the 70s let some brilliant stuff through: would CTTE er Relayer be underwritten by record companies today?4 points

Funnily enough I prefer Dark Side as it was meant to be heard, in the original reggae. When Floyd covered it they sucked out much of the groove and all of the fun!4 points

At my age i'd rather be safe than dead. Its a bummer trying to play when your fingers are disintegrating. We are now looking at mid 2021 before things pick up. Of course a vaccine can't be far away now that Donald Trump has been cured. Dave4 points

Due to ill health, advancing age, retirement from gigging, and moving house from large three-bed terrace to two-bed apartment ... for sale my 300watt Mesa Walkabout Scout. This is the 4ohm 1x12" model with the blackface control panel. I bought it from GAK Brighton in, I think, 2011 - I will find the receipt. It has done a few gigs but I'd dare to call it in excellent condition, close to mint. I am asking £775ono I am not keen to post as I don't feel equipped to pack it appropriately but I will meet anywhere around the M25, or collection from Brighton is possible. The weight is approximately 51 pounds or 23 kilos. Let's have some pics ...3 points -

Sad news indeed as Licorice was there at the start of Rock & Roll in the 1950's. He was part of Marty Wilde's Wildcats who backed Eddie Cochran on his ill fated 1960 tour of the UK: Licorice and Brian Bennett with Eddie at the NME Poll Winners Show February 1960:3 points

There was an utter cringe fest on Jeremy Vine's show this afternoon where the complete twunt had all manner of guitarists phoning in to do tributes on their guitars. The signal crapped out all over the shop and it was just awful. I find him unbearable at the best of times, but he then admitted he didn't;t have a clue that EVH did the solo in Beat It. Utter utter 🔔 end.3 points

Hello ! I woud like to offer my recently acquired US made Spector NS-2 DW in Black Stain Matte. I bought this bass a few days ago from the firsst owner but since I don't seem to get along with the neck profile I would like to let it go again. This Spector was built in th US Custom Shop in 2019. At this point Stuart Spector was not involved in the building process anymore so no signature on the back of the headstock. According to our baby scale this bass weights 4 - 4,1 KG. It is equipped with EMG pickups and the famous HAZ labs electronics (9V). The neck has a Doug Wimbish profile which means it has a width of 38mm at the nut and shape that I would describe as a "U". Fretboard is made from a lovely piece of Pau Ferro. Body wings are made from beautiful quilted maple. As you can see on the pictures it is finished in a beautiful black stain matte. There are hardly any signs of use so conditionwise almost new. To my ears the sound is very modern and hi-fi ... exactly what you would expect from a pair of EMGs. Included is a high quality Spector Hard Case and a set of Dunlop Strap Locks. THe bass is strung with a set of 50 - 110 Rotosound and tuned to D STandard (DGCF) The bass is located in Munich / Germany. You can pick it up or I will send it to you but be aware that shipping is quite expensive (DHL within the EU --> 60 EUR) I only want what I paid so my asking price is SOLD or whatever this is in GBP for the bass incl. costs of shipping within the European Union. Please be informed that I don't/can't accept payment in GBP. I won't go below this price so please do not try to make lowball offers. I might also consider trade (+cash) offers. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Daniel2 points -
Hi guys, This is my 5-string $$ Streamer in Nirvana black. Ash body, flame maple neck, wenge fretboard. It sounds huge and plays fantastic. Unfortunately it's fairly road-worn as you will see from the images but other than that has no notable issues. Comes with the original Warwick Rockbag soft case. Collection preferred but open to shipping. All questions welcome. Also open to trades for telecasters or other guitars.2 points -
The deaths of two guitar playing legends has unleashed an army of guitarists/bands performing 'tributes', their versions of songs made famous by the departed. Why do they think anyone wants to hear a (to use the fairly recently-coined term) Poundshop version of a classic piece of music? It's more of an insult than tribute. Actually, I hate bass players covering Youtube and Facebook with their solo noodling too but that's slightly different, I guess.2 points

That was actually Emperor Joseph of Austria talking to Mozart. Must admit though, much as I admire the technique of the likes of Satriani, Malmsteen for example the mad widdling leaves me cold. Love/adore Allan Holdsworth beyond all measure though.2 points

I'm not going specifacally for a bass player, but he happens to be one. I'm not going for someone who no-one who has ever heard of but I think is great (although there are lots to choose from!). That is just a matter of taste rather than under-rating. I'm going for someone who is not in my top list of favourite bands, but whenever I hear them I shake my head at the lack of credit this player gets................... ..... and it is Andy Rourke of the Smiths. His bass playing is as engaging (more on a lot of occasions) as Marrs guitar playing, but scarcely any recognition.2 points

I have a 74 V4 which I have gigged with the original 412 cab without PA support in medium sized venues and been plenty loud enough. When you factor in two guitarists using valve combo's, keys and drums that's pretty good. A modern super efficient 212 or 410 would be even better I would think.2 points

Miles who? Miles is a great example of personal marmite. I LOOOOOVE some of what he did and hate a lot of it too. That 70s stuff he did does nothing for me. I have never 'got' what the fuss was about 'beaches Brew'. Love his stuff with Gil Evans, love the classic quintets, ambivalent about the Marcus Miller era and so on. I guess all these bands are the same in that respect. Like 70s Yes, don't like Rabin. Like Genesis pre-Collins, post-Gabriel between this LP and that one and so on. Like the original Soft Machine but not the later versions, hate the orginal Colosseum but love Colosseum II. Love Lord of The Rings films, hate The Hobbit movies. Love Stephen King's Dark Tower series, hate the latest novel. Such is life.2 points

Also let it not be forgotten EVH was also a big influence in guitar design, starting with his Frankenstrat and going onto the Wolfgang, for my money the coolest electric guitar design of all.2 points

That'd be me! @Greg Edwards69 drop me a line if you're interested in possibly buying it. Unfortunately I cannot answer any of your questions above as, Mine doesn't have an XLR input I only used mine for a few minutes to check that it works so I cannot comment on battery life Sorry, I'm not an IOS user I appreciate that none of this helps in the slightest2 points

Yes, I've just re read my reply and it reads a bit stroppy, it wasn't intended. The pickups are custom wound by House of Tone to 4003 specs, the neck pickup sounds like a 4003 neck pickup, but on a 4003 it's all about that bridge pickup, which the 4005 hasn't got. Well it has but it's pushed right up against the bridge and will never sound the same due to the lack of string oscilation it gets. If it was in the same position as the 4003 it would probably be loads better for the sound I wanted. For my situation I should be using my 4003, but being a vain tw@t I wanted the looks of the 4005 and had to tweak it to get the sound I want. 🙂2 points

Starting to look like a bass! Neck now pretty much done (apart from a string retainer) so moving back to the body. Pickups, neck and control cavities to do. Once that is done I can start thinking about final sanding and finishing.....2 points

Ashdown - everytime time I've had to contact them I received service over and above what I expected. I bought a GB Rumour from a member here, however the Bass was with Bernie being serviced. He rang me to ask how I wanted it set up, I mentioned that I liked light strings - it was wearing 45s at the time - even though I wasn't actually giving him any money he still bought a new set of light strings, fitted them and set the bass up. Dawn at Status - every time I've spoken to her she has sorted my query without any issue. I've only dealt with Warwick once. Their rep was rude and unhelpful - I won't miss an opportunity to tell others.2 points

Van Halen’s passing doesn’t upset me one bit, in all honesty. Not because I’m a git. Obviously it’s tremendously sad for his friends and family. But I didn’t know him. I liked his music, but that’s as far as my interest in him went. Is that bad? Same feelings for Rocco who passed recently. Tremendous player, seemed like a genuine guy and I grew up with his music. But times change. I like other music too. I appreciate the music he left behind that I can enjoy forever. Maybe it’s just me!2 points

the website is working fine for me from a computer that has never seen the website before, the order confirmation section of the FAQ states " You will not receive any further communication from [sfx] until your product is ready. if they are busy (and i think it's a one man operation) then it might be a few days before they get your order built and ready. I have one of their pedals on my board (a prototype/custom Red dragon booster) thy are really great products, i would be tempted to wait a few more days if possible. Matt2 points
