I joined May 17 2007, after being on bassworld. How time flies.

The ones I got were generic chinese junk. The packaging said they were phosphor bronze, but they were actually bronze/brass.

Motorway To Roswell — Pixies

Welcome to the Jungle — Guns n Roses

I bought a three set pack of 'd'addario' acoustic guitar strings from ebay a while back. They all had the same code number and were obviously fake when I compare the pagaging to a real set.

What’s slug got to with it — Tina Turner

As some couriers may not cover guitars, or the cost of insurance can be ridiculously high, once you have found a courier, you could have a look at insuring through secursus https://www.secursus.com/en-gb/ They cover international shipments as well as domestic. I have used them several times when sending within the UK with parcelforce, however I have not had to make any claims so I can't comment on that process.

The Cheetah — Bob Kuban & The In-Men

The Lemon Song — Led Zeppelin

Mean Mr Mustard — The Beatles

Sunny Afternoon — The Kinks

After The Gold Brush — Neil Young

Jesus Thinks €uro Jerk — Frank Zappa

Gram ma's Hands — Bill Withers

These are ultra light gauge: 38 - 54 - 68 - 98 They are a little lighter than the set I use on my thunderbirds and ric — the lightest (2815/blue) set in the standard cobalt flats range: 40 - 60 - 70 - 95 If the Pino set were half the price I'd try a set, but at £90 I doubt they'd be enough of an upgrade from my usual set.

Body and Sole — Thelonious Monk Quartet

Boris The Spider — The Who

Brian's the man!

I use EB cobalt flats on four thunderbirds and a rickenbacker. Never understood the 'sticky' complaint — they've always felt fine to me, and I have never had any with rust or discolouration. They are a lot brighter than all the other flats I have played and the brightness seems to last a very long time. I really like them. I use the lightest set, the one with blue on the packaging.

Underpants — John Foxx

Where would one acquire a flesh hoop? ...Asking for a friend.

Without wishing to derail the discussion, does anyone have any more 'themselves as muppets' pics?

I always thought they were made for status by Picato.

Ain't No Fun If The Homies Can't Have Naan — Snoop Dogg
