    This was donated into the charity I volunteer at. It's a 3/4 size model Yamaha...no idea of the year. I was giving some consideration to keeping this as a travel guitar, but no. I've given it a bit of TLC, oiled the neck, given it a decent clean and put on some newish Martin strings put on (which alarmingly, the hi-E - fresh from the pack - has got a bit of rustiness on it!). There are a few small marks on the thing, but it's not had a hard life. The legacy Yamaha details state it's a spruce top with a mahogany ply/veneered body, mahogany neck. It plays nicely enough, very bright tonally. Stays in tune. Padded gig bag, zips all work. I'll happily sell at £100.00 for pickup or £110.00 shipped in the UK - all proceeds will just go back into the charity. I will consider sensible offers, but come on, it's a charity sale!

    I honestly have no idea. I saw a video a few days back where a chap was manufacturing nuts out of wooly mammoth bones/tusks, which (apparently) you can buy in Alaska - I thought this was pretty cool (no pun intended). Arguably the nicest nut I've had was on a Warwick Streamer...it was one of those brass adjustable ones that made tweaking a dream:

    Much to my delight 'The Mercury Years...' compilation by The Runaways has been fully restored to Spotify.

    Revisiting here, I've sanded the finish off the back of the neck. It was just about ok originally, but I'm no fan of high gloss neck finishes; they get a bit fudgy over time. Much better now (well for me). @prowla was over a few days ago and gave it a thumping.

    I popped a message to Lee...no response, but feel free!

    Temple Audio boards are fantastic things.

    I'll have them.

    Once in a while it's quite cathartic to have a clear out. I've got stuff that I I just feel I'm never going to play in anger again, but who has the readies to spend thousands on a Lull?

    I'm sure we'll get some nosebag in before then!

    I've had an email from Colin Moulding/XTC: Paul It sounds like a worthy cause, and the money is not an issue , but I can't really say right now whether I’ll be available. I prefer to react to stuff when it comes through, so making a date , 4 months hence, would not be right for me. Sorry for the lack of committal Best Colin While it's a great pity he's declined at this point, I've thanked him for taking the time to come back to me.

    Yes! More the merrier!

    On private function nights, 90 people. We can squeeze a few in.

    Everyone tends to bring something. There'll be enough kit to keep people happy. On the subject of the bass shootout thing, it would be nice to have a list of basses ahead of the curve so I can do some printed sheets for marking.

    Blimey. Why Peavey?

    I've been watching the BBC iPlayer. Observations? Lots of mullets. Quite a few performers long dead. US show was a shambles. U2 and Queen were great. Elton John on for too long. We were talking about the bands that didn't play (Geldolf, for instance, believed Big Country had split up).

    Photos or it didn't happen.

    And this is why I can't even begin to compete.

    @prowla and I had a chat earlier. The London Guitar Show is on Sunday 26th October and I've just found out I can't do the weekend of November, so looking at the weekend after, which is 8/9th November. Could we get a list of preferred dates please and we'll go with the majority. If it's a Sunday we can get in the hall from 11.00am. Thanks

    For washing it down in the shower.

    Here's what you need to do and how things will go. Buy both. Then buy another one, and another one, then another one. After you've bought the last one, get another couple. Then one or two more. Oh, and then another one. This is how it goes. This is how it always goes. Don't buck the trend.

    Mangling the statistics, it's barely 10% that are vehemently against it.

    The hall is available Sundays from 11.30am.
  23. NancyJohnson
    Oops... I don't know if you can insert a poll, but state your desired month, September to November.

    Brief update! Hall managers have said that as we're contributing any proceeds to a charity (TBD) we can get the hall at a reduced hourly rate, which is nice of them. We have access from 12.00pm for as long as required. It begs the question the date we want to do this...I can't do first weekend of November, but beyond that, I'm good. September my be too soon to wrestle the troops, dunno.

    Interestingly, in the last few months it became apparent that it was actually cheaper to buy in a Chinese neck for my Aria than to fork out for a refret, so that's what I did. It's got a '70s style Fender Jazz Bass logo on it; do I care? Nope, in truth, not really. Everyone who needs to know its provenance knows what it is and if I sell it, the buyer will know as well (and they'll get the original neck, too).
