  1. I think if you are excessively grinding metal against metal then I can imagine that you could wear frets down. I use string bending a lot for expression but have never required a refret on any of my instruments in all my 25 odd years of playing. It's all in LH technique I feel.
  2. Wow that is..eerrrrrr. RARE!!
  3. Ha ha!! It actually took me a second to figure that one out! .. "In this month's issue, we are looking at zipped rubber masks..." lol
  4. Guitar Interactive Magazine
  5. I was due to interview Jack Bruce. I had his home address and meeting details all set up, but the day before we received notification that the interview wasn't to go ahead. Of course, none of us knew what was to happen relatively soon after. Would have been an incredible interview for sure.
  6. Rather than raising upward, I use one of these to angle the cabinet towards my ears: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-14708-Short-Amplifier-Monitor/dp/B002MUGL2W It actually will stand on one 1x12 with the other 1x12 on top.
  7. I’m interviewed in this month’s Bass Guitar Magazine! Excited to have my name on the front cover!

      Thank you everyone :) 

      Yes, I feel like I am 100 years old. I sometimes wonder if in my universe time is moving faster. It only feels like yesterday I had ten posts; I'm old and grey, 100 seemed to arrive in no time at all and typing 80,000 posts a year happened in a blink of an eye. ha ha!

      Yes I will sign anything.. probably how I ended up in this mess in the first place lol... 

       

  8. Great, gonna have to try it as I have lots of old Cakewalk projects for songs I've written I'd like to laugh at lol..
  9. @intime-nick is your man!
  10. Wow! Now there's a treat to be had!
  11. Before Shuker, I nearly bought a Status S2 second hand that had a 16mm spacing. I always fancied a Status headless.
  12. He he! Yes! Brilliant new site!
  13. @D'Addario UK's customer service is reliably consistent and very, very good just like the products they produce.
  14. Trust me, if I had the spare cash it would have gone when I spotted the add at 15.54 ha ha
  15. Yeah there was a notification that went around regarding backing messages up. I grabbed most of mine I thought were important as I .. err... never deleted PMs... 1300 I think was the number I would have had to have gone through lol.. something like that anyway!
  16. Yeah, I think in that case the Klusons will fit but the holes will need to be taken in to consideration. I think the plates could hide the holes though, I can't remember!

    With all these products you've been sharing here and with me privately, you seriously have a great business proposition. I'm seriously impressed. These feet, the screen protector and 'the other stuff' ;o) . Insanely good. Take my money!
  18. If the keys that were originally on there were the Gotoh FB(?) type which was usual for Japanese Fenders (and it certainly looks like they were the type looking at the imprint on the headstock) then the Gotoh Kluson types will fit on as I've had them on a few of my CIJ basses. You will need to fill those holes first though as the screw holes on the Klusion plates are in a different position.

    Setting up the board at a gig.. Here's the board inside the flightcasse lid.

    Oh yes, I completely forgot to mention! Yes, usually I would actually just leave the lift out board in the lid on stage. There's still plenty of room even with the lid lip. However I have had Roqsolid make me a 'tough bag' that I can carry my board around in when the flightcasse is a bit much. Yes, I have to say that the screen protector is absolutely brilliant. It has been to a good few gigs now and hasn't come off or got in the way. In fact, it's so good I actually forget it is there!

    Oh - I should add: I am using the bicycle chain method to fix my helix to the board. No sticky, no velcro, works a treat! The pedals are using chain links but with cable ties acting as removable straps. My own idea that works really well. Again, no mess.

    @intime-nick @BigRedX as promised: XL Sized board:

    Hi @intime-nick and @BigRedX - Yes, I actually have a case going here, I was going to advertise it for sale but where I got it from ended up having a big sale and the cost of shipping ended up being prohibitive, so I decided not to advertise. It's this one: https://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/industry/product.asp?item=spider-guitar-effects-pedal-board-flight-case-extra-large-7628-4748 - I'll get a price together for mine. Let me grab a picture of my board to see how much space there is around my Helix. You do have the option of their next size up case the XXL with a much larger pedal board.
  24. He he he!! No problem! Happy to answer that one! All of my 'main' instruments (5, 6 and 7 strings) are around 16mm spacing. It seems logical that having been so used to the spacing on those, I try a 4 string in the same configuration. For fast pick work, it's a definite benefit - (you only have to ask guitarists to confirm that lol). I'm intrigued and at some point I'll test the theory and report back. Also, looking at a longer scale, say 36", very low tunings will deliver a better tone. As for oddity.. he he, I think I'll take that. That pretty much sums up my playing and my gear at times!
  25. Close string spacing?
