Still got this?

Nice

Just made a call to Chandlers. They've binned their Plek machine due to varying results.

Squier JV P Total guess, like. But looks like mine

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1421175724' post='2658101'] I like those too, but the 50-100 set - bit more balanced across the strings. Yes - I found Chromes to be alarmingly high-tension! Frighteningly so, in fact. [/quote] Mate, you wanna try Roto's. Or maybe not as is indeed the case

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1421166680' post='2657926'] That's the best sounding stuff he's done since Rancid. My old band supported LF & the Bastards once. He was a jerk. [/quote] He does seem like he could be jerk-ish for some reason, but I for one am enjoying the whole This Means War albumen. http://youtu.be/P1JwikyTaNM

Nice chandelier

I think La B's looser than Chromes

I started with Roto flats and while I love the monel feel they are way too stiff for me. I've used chromes, TI's and La Bella's and have to say overall La Bella's are my favorite.

I thought 4003's did not start till '80, making it a 4001

The Luthiers I know started with furniture building courses. I guess that's a good place to start learning about woodworking joints and that. I don't know if there are specific instrument building courses about, but think your local FE college should be a good place to start.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1420575719' post='2650879'] And vagabonds! Imagine naming your German company after a small English county town on the river Avon. Tchoh! [/quote] I think they're complete bloody thieves and liars. Not an original idea in the whole company, I think, unless you class intellectual larceny as originality, as is what I think.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1420570655' post='2650795'] Which one? [/quote] Kelly's

Just looking at my Spector. The top horn does look a bit like an ergonomic marital aid. That strap-pin would bring a tear to your eye.

How do?

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1420489935' post='2650009'] She's the Rickenbacker version of "phwoor"...somebody out there finds her attractive but God knows why! [/quote] Give her a spank and she gans Clang!

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1420458794' post='2649471'] Well spotted! And the black JV-P he's selling has the original certificate and manual Never seen those before [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Fender-JV-Precision-Bass-not-squier-black-COLLECTORS-LOOK-/271728461556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item3f444746f4"]http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f444746f4[/url] [edit] although I see it has 'Made in Japan' on the neck - they normally don't, which I presume means something to somebody more knowledgable than me. [/quote] Yes. It means it was made in Japan *Swish.. Genius*

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1420401628' post='2648995'] [/quote] I've got a pair of trousers like that. Hey, that Kitty Hart, Phwoor! eh? eh?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1420400067' post='2648953'] Um... what a great version that is. [/quote] You mean there's others?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1420398528' post='2648914'] All together, now: 'I... ain't got no-bo-deeee' and so on. [/quote] OK.. http://youtu.be/-TrlKrty1vQ

It's a beauty!

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1420390275' post='2648722'] i doubt they got paid for it though [/quote] Really? I doubt that

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1420299719' post='2647785'] Best Stranglers moment (non musical) "we hate playing to elitist audiences, so **** off" , proper social comment at the time [/quote] Aye, but they said it at the end of the gig, not the beginning.
