  1. Aaaaaaa Gaaaaaa Do, do, do, push pineapple, shake a tree Agado, do, do, push pineapple, grind covfefe Sorry, "coffee".
  2. Put it towards whatever motorcycle I replace my Triumph Tiger 800 with.
  3. The Warwick JD Thumb is still here, 7 years on. I should also add my Sei Original 5-string fretless that I've had since 2011/2012.
  4. Rubber strings so no magnetic pickup, piezo pickup under the bridge.
  5. Marc Bolan was another writer of obscure lyrics, from the psychedelia of Tyrannosaurus Rex ("Great horsey champer gold braid, pranced proudly in the garden villas with the Sun, dipped diving with his horned onyx, saddle shining in the black aped eyeballs of the gun. When the great apple falls, she'll be queen of your halls.") to the random lyrics of T Rex ("Metal guru, is it you? Sitting there in your armour plated chair. Metal guru, could it be, you're going to bring my baby to me? She'll be wild, you know, a rock and roll child").
  6. Taking on @BigRedX's mantle for a moment, if the item includes a soft case or a lined hard case and it has come from a smoking household, be prepared to air it in a shed or similar external shelter with occasional squirts of Febreze for the next year.
  7. It had the seal of approval from the court. There was a porpoise, to form an alliance with France. Whales, however, was excluded.
  8. I use wireless for everything including rehearsals - saves stepping on or getting caught in a lead, plus I can walk over to the mixer to play with vocal levels. I use them for home practice too. I have a cheap Lekato twin bug wireless for rehearsals and home (though I have used it for gigs too) and either a Smoothhound or a Line 6 G50 for gigs.
  9. I've put myself down for the MOD Dwarf although I haven't got up to speed with it yet, it will potentially supplant my HX Stomp.
  10. Romeo was 16 and Juliet 13. 15-year-old Mary Queen of Scots married the 14-year-old Dauphin.
  11. Just make sure you wear latex gloves and don't go picking up any old perfume bottles.
  12. Possibly "Fender shaped object" but ICBW.
  13. Still trying to work out what the best for resale value would be. It's not easy because so many people on here have orgasms at every dull as ditchwater P or J that there's a picture of. I reckon a 4-string fretted P in oly white or lake placid blue, tort pickguard, standard electronics and then I could name my price.
  14. Ocean loners? The people who go on cruises in the hope of meeting someone?
  15. That's the one, only with the three-pronged UK adaptor on it.
  16. That's easy, just make it headless.
  17. Two sister ships, in fact, Olympic and Britannic. Olympic sank the sub and survived until being scrapped in 1935, Britannic sank after hitting a mine. So the chance for two sequels then, all of which could have featured a stewardess who survived the Titanic and Britannic sinkings and Olympic's ramming.
  18. Difficult to see where they'd have the opportunity to do all that here: Never mind, there will be something else along for you to have a rant at shortly.
  19. I've got two NT 4s and one NT 5. The first Thumb I got was a 1987 JD Thumb which had a fantastic neck, and I later bought a 2000 NT 4 which had the fat neck - I had that defretted and reprofiled to be the same as the JD neck. I don't use the 4s now but I don't want to part with them. The balance wasn't ideal but with a strap with a reasonable amount of friction on it it was OK. I found the JD very versatile, used it for everything from heavy rock to a ceilidh band playing traditional tunes.
  20. Most of this is three notes - there's a passing B on the verses. And of course there's just three notes almost all the way through this, there's three passing Fs through the song and the occasional octave G in the outro:
  21. Reducing costs can be done by making the manufacturing process more efficient, which has been happening with increased automation. It does require capital investment, but that's spread across tens or hundreds of thousands of instruments, and you can always sell the decrepit old machinery to Gibson and recoup some of the cost.
