  1. I particularly like the Antigua finish and really fancy a jazz in that scheme. They seem to come along not so often though So maybe the thing to do would be to make my own. I cant paint for toffee, or with toffee, so Id be looking to enlist someone else do that job, anyone know of any decent refinishers who'd be up to the job?
  2. So its a case of try before you buy then I guess. Might be a bit tricky as ill most likely be ordering from Thomann lol
  3. Ive heard it said (in hushed tones) that a natural finish Squier jazz will weigh more than its equivalent brethren in a painted finish. Does anyone happen to know if this is true? I ask about Squiers as opposed to 'genuine' fenders as its probably the Squier I will be looking to purchase. TIA
  4. I love the descriptor 'refinished'. Id say its barely been re-started yet
  5. And, if im not much mistaken, "Band Names - A Fresh Approach" hasn't been taken yet either
  6. I was given the quite frankly awesome "Because we're arseholes" on my FB feed the other day. Im thinking probably a Radiohead tribute.....
  7. tbh if it had been available in practically any other finish than the Brown Burst Id have gone for that
  8. I can thoroughly recommend it for Kate Bush tunes lol
  9. Bludgeon him to death with a blunt instrument, then impale his still twitching corpse on a mic stand and parade him right at the front of the stage as a warning to other potential silence shatterers to get some 'res-peck man' Im not joking here, its a tried and tested method of setting out your stall, Les Claypool has already done it, that trout used to flap his fins all over its Fin-der Strato'caster, scales flying everywhere, volume at eleven. Les just flipped one day, and has never had the problem since
  10. Im happy to say I have one of these and would happily recommend it to anyone. An excellent instrument, specially if you favour slim necks
  11. happy Birthday Is it socks?
  12. The idea I believe is to get longer scale lengths for the lower strings to beef up the sound. I may of course be utterly wrong about this
  13. Saw them back in 89-90 at Birmingham Irish Centre being supported by the wonderful Miracle Legion. Both bands were happy to come down after their sets and chat to us punters. Good times
  14. Im not normally a fan of sunburst, but that looks very special indeed. Top drawer!
  15. The working title for The Cults biggest hit was originally "She Sells Sanctuary On The Seashore....." and then went on for another 3 lines, but was shortened after a painful twisting injury to Ian Astbury's tongue
  16. Nice looking bass, if only I had some dough....
  17. Curtis Stigers is a majority shareholder of a small poorly funded menagerie in Manhatten where for a small fee, you can also see Curtis's Howler Monkey, Curtis's Armadillo and Curtis's Stick Insect
  18. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1435446620' post='2808946'] I'd be cut up to have sisters I did not know about at my age. [/quote] Imagine that, mercy me
  19. Ok, the singer from the Police's real name is The Kinks. Hmm, doesn't seem quite right somehow
  20. The singer from the Police's real name is Ray
  21. Does that make them glutens for punishment then?^^
  22. Contracts are a great idea, stops all sorts of devilish shenanigans ( and non-shenanigans) being played by both parties if done right
  23. Les finds it very difficult to swim in his Claypool
  24. Whereas 'Glasgow Kiss' are not so well received
