Telebass

The tuners on the Nate are Schaller BMFLs and do not have the longer stems. Schallers were used 76 on.

Beedster nails it!

Years ago, I played an unlined Precision. I recently purchased a lined Squier. While I'm grateful for the lines, I'd still like another crack at an unlined board...

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1387184552' post='2308991'] X-Factor for musicians ?! Why not extend that to X-Factor for watchmakers, X-Factor for kitchen fitters, X-Factor for rock climbers ? Because no-one would watch it. Despite us musicians thinking we are very, very important, and overlooked and undervalued, it's the singer in popular music that the audience identifies with. The audience knows what makes them feel good, they can identify with the singer. They understand words and the voice expressing them. They connect with the look and movements and facial expressions of the singer. Instrumental music confuses the average listener, they don't understand what makes a good drummer, a good guitarist, a good keyboard player, a good bassist. It's backing for the singer and if it sounds good and it makes the singer sound good, that's the extent of their interest. You may think that's unfair, but that's the way it is. That is why Edward Van Halen hardly got recognised in the street, and why David Lee Roth could silence any restaurant when he walked in. I've said it before but so many posts on here about X-Factor indicate the poster has no idea what the programme is. They think it is about music. It isn't, music is simply a conduit for the competition and the associated entertainment. Singers generate reaction and opinion even if those reactions and opinions are from the clueless, they generate in the audience a passionate sense of good and bad, right and wrong, justice and injustice. So they watch and vote and help create the hysteria. Show me an instrumentalist who can generate that kind of reaction. [/quote] Exactly.

Musician + X-Factor = contradiction in terms.

For the third year running, The Rock n Roll Outlaws have managed to sell out the Wharf for the annual Christmas bash! Not bad for a pub band!

Freebird!

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1386676216' post='2302877'] it don't get cheesier than Nellie the Elephant, always our final song, but yeah there's a lot of snobbery going off when bands say 'we're not doing this or that because its too cheesy, a pissed up crowd on a Saturday night love to singalong to a cheesy/classic song (delete as applicable), and we are entertainers aren't we? [/quote] Ah, so we're not alone, then?

2 metres from my rig? A great deal of the time I'm not two feet from my rig. But still I move enough to keep standing on cables and my wireless has more than paid for itself on that score alone!

Gosh, haven't heard of her since she used to endorse Squier a few years back!

Never broken one in 40+ years. The blues guitarist Russell Sinclair who I am plying with now uses 13-56 on a Les Paul Studio and gets through several wound strings every gig! He is a) very grateful for a string endorsement, and in need of a Graphtech String Saver saddle set!

[quote name='pnefc42' timestamp='1386567603' post='2301494'] Greedies (Lizzy/Pistols collaboration) -Merry Jingle, best Xmas tune ever! [/quote] This. We're fortunate enough to have a night for the past three Christmases at the Wharf in Tavistock. Even more fortunately, we've sold it out every time, and it's becoming the go-to Tavi Christmas bash. But this year, only one Christmas song, the aforementioned Greedies. At the appropriate moment, it snows! Going to be a great night! And yes, sold out already!
