  1. Good advice - I used string and was about 3mm out and it’s really annoying. Just use some old bass strings
  2. Mine lives in my car rain shine or snow its never come to any harm ... it’s even acquired some nitro crazing
  3. I found car nitro on ebay in big 500ml cans lots in the can, went on well and seemed to melt into lower coats. Beware what colour undercoat you use. I needed grey to get off white
  4. Plus one totally awesome strings for peanuts
  5. This is a moment - I for the first time have achieved genuine mojo. I had a free lunchtime so had a quick noodle through my zoom and noticed what I thought were visible grain undulations in my otherwise poor nitro paint job In fact they were genuine lacquer crazing, lots of it.😎 Now I rub in some shoe polish ...
  6. If I can do, so can you - see my build thread you can get a ready painted body and rounding the board edges is easy - I used a butchers hand held knife sharpener and scraped the edges down - you could use a trem bar spend the money you save on a decent setup
  7. It was a little clumsily phrased - I referred to Babbitt and should have said “those players from that time” as no one really knows and even Babbitt and Jameson disagreed when listening to a record together whose take had been used. That was shortly after recording - imagine what havoc time wreaked on the memory of all involved babbit related this incident himself so I would suggest that he was in fact claiming it. I would agree he was less vocal than some
  8. She claims a lot of things but the other protagonists are dead and no one kept any records anyway. I take her claims with a pinch of salt for these reasons and I would say the same about Babbitts claims or those of anyone else active at the time, hence my irony
  9. Unless it was early Mexican , otherwise they are always different sizes
  10. Sure But those poor children were actually raped, they claim, and that is not ok, whatever your upbringing so hecrouid have had to answer for those actions eventually. He was just rich enough to evade responsibility I think the fault lies also with his associates who turned a blind eye and had no such “excuses”
  11. Sounds like horse has pretty much bolted
  12. I’ve just lost my eyesight ... that is vile
  13. Jimmy was also a wealthy and very litigious man, protected by people at the Beeb
  14. There is a reason for the bakers dozen ...
  15. I used to think ups were untouchably fabulous but this year they lost a parcel and faked the proof. Shutl sided with them but buyer insisted it was not her signature. Finally shutl agreed to start a trace and magically the parcel actually turned up at her door 24 hours later. Hermes managed to damage and THEN lose a parcel sent via shutl. It took nine weeks of pushing to get shutl to process my claim, they finally claimed they didn’t have a PayPal Id to refund me, but they did seem to be able to use one to bill me with in the meantime. Utterly useless.
