Maybe i'ts the projected image you don't like, rather than the tunes. He went down a storm at last year's Cropredy Festival - which is a folk event.

Plus another one. Like The Police - but not really a Sting fan, if that makes any sense.....

Should have used a MacBook.

Do it, man. You know you want to. And so do we, now...

I can recommend "25 Essential Rock Bass Classics" - that's what I am using to learn. There are Beatles tracks - Come Together & Paperback Writer - plus Cream, Kiss, Hendrix, Stones, Queen etc. As a beginner, I am finding it easy to follow. Note this does not mean I find actually playing is easy!!

That's really very good! They like to drink - she prefers to wear the stuff...

Today has been:- Arcade Fire - Neon Fire [pun intened?] Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Up Above My Head Killers - Sam's Town. Off to see Paddy Goes To Hollyhead tonight. Happy New Year! John.

I was just about to be the first to ask that - thanks for taking the place! Thicko No2.

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1388363763' post='2321319'] To be fair to Royal Mail, you probably receive a lot more items from them than via courier, so the number of problems will seem higher than the problems with a courier. But going on percentages then the problems via courier with probably be higher. (In this case you is meant as plural, not specifically you) [/quote] Hmmmm, yes. A case of statistics showing you what you want them to show...

The last time I played in space, the acoustic did not work at all due to the lack of a gas medium to transmit the string vibrations through. I plugged in the electric and it worked fine as the strings moved normally through the magnetic field around the coils. Had more sustain due to the lack of friction against the strings, as I recall...

Or ask him to show you [i]how[/i] to polish it...

I second the experiences with Royal Mial as being the least reliable / most unreliable. Problems far too many times with them. No real bad ones with any of the major couriers.

Superb instrument - and playing. Does it have a 'name' as such?

Oh that was a TOP film!

Tar! Same to [all of] you. John.

On the 'used' subject, I have bought two guitars - yeah, sorry - from Cash Converters. They are apparently definitaly not nicked and they do take stuff back if it is faulty. They don't know much about instruments, though...

Ah-hoooo werewolves of London. Ah-hoooo. Nice one for me to learn.... As in - easy.....

Hi Betafunk. My girl lives in Gloucester and I'm in Croydon. She may be able to do the honours if you need. Drop a pm if that's the case.

I know what you mean about second hand. The problem there for the shop is ensuring they do not by nicked stuff. Once the local herberts are in the know, the retailer has a constant flow of dodgy gear coming through the door. It's a very similar story with bicycles.

I'll have me glasses checked...

Blumin eck, she's good. What is she, about 12? I must go and practice...

Send it back as faulty goods.
