[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1347305393' post='1799167'] Naaaaah! This is the best rehearsal room I've ever seen: [/quote] Two of those - er - ladies have very weird tits.

Standing by on BC's Twitter account!

Congrats! We'll be hanging on your every word...

Give it some more time, then, and it should be all right.

Hm, do you have to use a hammer to turn the key in the truss rod? If so, be careful - if the rod is seized it will break, rather than allow to be tightened any further.

No. But some necks need more time than others to adjust after a truss rod tweak. and some truss rods are better than others at keeping their torque.

Congrats Sarah and John!

I'm getting sooo much GAS for a real double bass... grrr

Except that there are still so many people who ask you "play me Jessie J/The U2/Coldplay/Metallica" and expect to hear - and immediately recognise - the melody...

This Oxjam thingy is suddenly getting seriously interesting, with you guys both being there with your bands! Shaping up to be a great day.

LOOOL (@ both of you!!)

Oooo, I [b]will[/b] make either or both the Shep Bush and the Chiswick Oxjam! No ifs or buts

Oh-h-h dear...

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1346940226' post='1795084'] Next audition take a 'light sabre' (or something with LED's) [/quote] A Status?

Charic, onwards and upwards, and it's good to hear there are no hard feelings etc. But really, did they want someone older or younger? And hadn't they known your age/seen you before they asked you to audition?

Eh?

When I was taking lessons, my tutor and I aimed to meet up once a week, but it often ended up as once every two weeks. It will depend on your workload (as in day job), your own learning pace and also on the quantity of new stuff to learn in each lesson. Each of my lessons contained some theory and at least one (real) song which applied the theory, but more often there were two real songs. I was pretty crap on the practical side, i.e. actually playing the songs, but very good on theory, reading notation, and swotty things like that

Thing is, being German that surname is read with the u sound as in "book", which possibly makes it - er - a north of England accent?

I had the same with my fretted and fretless 5s (Rockbasses). I installed D'Addario Chromes on both and, since the problem wasn't as bad as yours (only a couple of millimetres out of place), I decided to strip the B and E strings of their silk and only slightly file the B strings so that they would fit fully. But yes, it's a known PITA in older Warwicks; they've finally changed the design of the bridge to cure it.

The headstock reads "RxTx" so yes, that's probably correct

Welcome back, Ray! I'm sure you will find both inspiration and much cause for GAS on here. Post questions, rant or raves and see where our answers take you

I don't mean to sound like anathema, but anyone thinking of going? It appears to be still in the early stages of planning, as only Richie Kotzen and Jennifer Batten are confirmed as performers and masterclasses. However, I'm very tempted in any case, because it's [b]bound[/b] to have a hard rock/heavy metal slant! [url="http://www.londonelectricguitarshow.com/"]http://www.londonelectricguitarshow.com/[/url]

I agree with Darkandrew. Also, remember that it may take several days for a tweak in the truss rod to have its full effect, and seasonal changes in temperature and humidity will affect the setup. Best to learn how to perform a setup yourself (truss rod, pickup height, string action, string height at the nut - if adjustable - and intonation): depending on the quality and type of bass*, you may find yourself needing to set it up every 2-3 months. Edit: *and type of strings
