Conclusion: If you're normal, just change your strings every few months. If you're abnormally disgustingly sweaty, fill a tube with meths and keep a set of strings in there to swap with another set every day or two.

[quote name='Eight' post='494395' date='May 21 2009, 04:02 PM']I've never been so insulted in all my life. [/quote] Well, that's what happens when you're used to the whimpy insults from the lesser Newcastle (upon tyne).

[quote name='Eight' post='494367' date='May 21 2009, 03:40 PM']If you mean Newcastle-under-Lyme then please qualify your comment. Don't want anyone confusing that place with the [i]real[/i] Newcastle (God's county upon Tyne).[/quote] I heard yo' mama came from Newcastle (under-lyme).

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='494350' date='May 21 2009, 03:21 PM']Are you more of a Sugar Mill fan?![/quote] I used to see bands there quite a lot, and played there quite a few times. There hasn't been anyone that i've been aware of and/or liked on recently. The Rigger is the best venue, but that's in Newcastle really. EDIT: Wait a minute, did a pun just fly over my head?

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='494339' date='May 21 2009, 03:13 PM']Eh? You'll go to a gig to watch [i]crap[/i] musicians??[/quote] No, I go to gigs where I enjoy the music, as in when it's "my cup of tea".

I've heard of them, but I don't think it's my cup of tea and i'm not the type to go to a gig just to watch good musicians. Still, I should get myself a gig there!

I like Stoke. It looks horrible but the people are friendly, an excellent combination. I've never been to The Garderner's but I work right by it.

I bet you didn't see a town full of riot vans, vommiting jail-bait and elderly ladies fighting.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='493958' date='May 21 2009, 09:21 AM']There's nothing wrong with being a Stokie. I just wouldn't want to be one.[/quote] For fear of being looked down upon by people who judge you from where you're from? Or just because you don't want to be an unemployed alchoholic thug like the rest of us?

[quote name='Rayman' post='493579' date='May 20 2009, 06:42 PM']Did someone mention Tony Pulis' barmy army?? The [i]MIGHTY[/i] potters.[/quote] I'm not a football fan. Is this an insult? What's so wrong with being a stokie ebs_freak?

People have been "hanging out" with each other for years now. Is the only new thing about it in this context that it applies to the ammount of intoxicants consumed? Or is there nothing new about it? Ta for the explaination!

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='493230' date='May 20 2009, 01:18 PM']There's a difference between how the power plug is wired, i.e. centre positive or centre negative and whether or not the circuit has a positive or negatvie ground. If it's just the way the power socket is wired, you can reverse the polarity on one of the pedaks on a shared power supply no problem, but you can't mix +ve and -ve ground pedals on a shared power supply.[/quote] Thanks for explaining that

It sounds like you do need a serious solution like the tube of meths. Do none of you sweat-o-philes have problems with fungus? I hate lending my bass to a sweaty player. It comes back feeling horrible.

but really, what's shedding and hanging?

We did once make shirts with writing all over them with marker pen, and we were too scared to wash them, so I wore mine for around 6 gigs with no washes, but only for the 40 minutes we were on stage at each gig, and I still thought it was rank.

That sounds pretty rank AM!

riiiiiight. I don't understand why that is, I thought it was shorting when he plugged it in without an adaptor, and so to use one may fix the problem.

When you say you need to reverse the polarity, do you just mean flip the connections on the power socket? You can get adaptors for that.

It looks like you have only the essentials. I'd sell the ibanez but would ask my family if they minded, and sell the yamaha to the person borrowing it!

[quote name='alexclaber' post='489006' date='May 15 2009, 03:54 PM']it's a shame their songwriting isn't strong enough for me to have listened to the three albums I have all that often. Alex[/quote] Yeh, a massive shame! Such a great sound and loads of energy. Perhaps the reformation will bring some great new songs!

Aren't they back together now? I think it's recent news.
