  1. [quote name='JB101' timestamp='1415144292' post='2597290'] Interesting nut placement... :-) [/quote] Must be one of those patented "floating nut" nuts...
  2. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1415957886' post='2605499'] It's an LED feast.... [/quote] yup, you'll end up melting your shoes and tanning your feet if you're not careful...
  3. I think any instrument that inspires a player to pick it up and practice / gig is worth it. If I had the money I'm not sure I'd buy one, but I've already found 'the one'. At those prices though, I wonder how much of the will to play would be 'inspiration' and how much would be 'I paid [i]how much[/i]' guilt?
  4. [quote name='J3ster' timestamp='1415949515' post='2605443'] Looks like he is enjoying himself and thats what its all about..... Good lad [/quote] This. It's not really my cup of tea, but that shouldn't stop anybody thing anything they like. Carry on sir. Also, have you tried doing this wearing a dress….?
  5. withdrawn, sorry.
  6. Urban legend has it that Ian "Lemmy' Kilminster, be-warted Rickenbacker botherer and growly voiced songster, got his name from always being short of bread (that's what money was called back then) and asking people to 'Lemmy a fiver'. This is simply not true. He was saddled with the moniker after bandmates Phil 'Filthy Animal' Taylor and 'Fast' Eddie Clark overheard him repeatedly asking where the honey was in a Hypermarché in Calais. He LOVES that honey does Lemmy! Less so nowadays, due to his diabetes.
  7. Thanks Michael J - that's the exact part I'm looking for.
  8. I'm trying to fix an old Yamaha Clavinova. The speaker protection relay has given up the ghost and I'm struggling to find a replacement. It's an OMRON G5Z-2A rated at 12VDC and apparently they've been discontinued. Any suggestions as to where I might find anything similar?
  9. I'm up for the relay too, I'll wait until it comes to Liverpool, as I'm based in North Manchester.
  10. [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1415725555' post='2603096'] What's a licky button? [/quote] DOWN BOY!
  11. 'Enya' was booked to appear on Radio 4's 'Gardeners' Question Time' but was dropped when the producers realised she wanted to overdub herself 16 times.
  12. Carol Kaye books gone, just the Sher and Pastorius left.
  13. A band. That's where the fun is. Unless they're rubbish, and then it's like pulling teeth. Seriously though, those Peavey amps are bomb-proof. Keep ticking along with the metronome, it'll pay dividends in the long run...
  14. Billy Gibbons has never worked at our local library, despite having read over 3 books. Neither has Dusty Gibbons.
  15. David Bowie did all of the 'Minion' voices in Despicable Me. He wanted too much money to reprise the role(s) for the sequel, so they were done by Rachel Weiss instead. True fact.
  16. [s]Carol Kaye Complete Electric Bass Volumes 1&2 - £25 the pair [/s] Jaco Pastorius Essential bass recorded versions - £8 Chuck Sher Improvisor's Bass Method £8 Rick Laird - Improvising Jazz Bass - £7 Or all 3 for £20 All prices include p&p to mainland UK.
  17. Every day's a school day. Take regular breaks and spend some time away from the bass. Sometimes it's helpful to read through a piece without playing it. I find it can help me to get a different angle on problematic sections. Regular physical exercise too - don't forget that the rest of your faculties need a workout as well as keeping those piggies wriggling...
