Seen them twice now - Roll the Bones and R30 tour. Once at Sheffield arena and then at the MEN arena in Manchester. Both times the sound wasn't the best. Granted, lots of people want to see bands of their stature, but the only venues that make it financially viable for them are (for the most part) the ones that sound sh*t. They need to play at Manchester Apollo - the sound there is brilliant!

Yup, been in and out of that book for years. Great for reading practice, study pieces and wonderful anecdotes. Every home should have one!

Black and rosewood - dull. Black and maple -

Yup.

Yeah, I've heard about that conspiracy too. Turns out it was just Al Fayed letting off steam, that and the Daily Mail doing what they do best. ;-)

Just looked at that Gibson Moderne "headstock got chopped off by a big old ceiling fan" Really? Surely he means 'circular saw'? I can't find a job at the moment. Maybe I'll be a woodbutcher as well, there's gold in them there hills...

I've had the EBS octabass and the Aguilar and they were OK, but currently I'm using a Chord OC50 for roughly £40. Best OC2 clone I've found.

I thought Basschat® [i]was[/i] the European second hand bass market.

Had a mail back from 'Bob' complete with schematics for the pre and power stages. Last night I replaced two fritzed diodes and it's 'business as usual'. Happy days.

yup, pictures or it didn't happen!

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1363368821' post='2011990'] Great fun, however, I would say whilst it accelerated my learning to start, I would say that it's now slowed me down a little. [/quote] So you've outgrown them already? Alas, 'twas always thus.

I've played in bands, but got a bit bored of the politics. Nowadays I'm a musical prostitute and will play anything for money, and that suits me better. Also, I'm a sociopath, so f*** off!

One of the best guitars I ever recorded was a Westfield SG copy. Leave it as is. A good quality pre would perhaps be a better use of your cash if you're looking to record.

Is it easy to do yourself or should I take it to a specialist? Also, do distance selling regs apply to gumtree?

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1363277371' post='2010932'] Thank you, am going to have it apart later to see if I can do this. [/quote] ditto!

I've heard of people using 1200 grit sandpaper to work superglue into the fingerboard grain on fretlesses when playing with roundwounds, I'm not brave enough to do it to mine. Anyone ever heard of this or is it a dream I had?

Or, as you're only in Bolton we could meet up and you could have a play with mine...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1363085030' post='2008013'] Anyone who thinks they're buying a Fender just because it says 'Fender' on the headstock is making a mistake! [/quote] I think the same about basses with 'Warwick' on the headstock... (runs for cover)
