  1. Ask him, it’s called versicherung
  2. Basically at 10, the tone pot drops out of circuit and you get a full on pup tone. There’s a slight bump you can feel as you hit 10 cheap to try
  3. I found a substitution of the no-load pot quite effective
  4. Oh my fuc king goodnight
  5. Good advice - I used string and was about 3mm out and it’s really annoying. Just use some old bass strings
  6. Mine lives in my car rain shine or snow its never come to any harm ... it’s even acquired some nitro crazing
  7. I think actually it depends on which eBay person you ask
  8. 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
  9. Plus one totally awesome strings for peanuts
  10. 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 ...
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Or was it ? Hmm....
  15. Unless it’s early mex
  16. Does it make a difference which ?
  17. Unless it was early Mexican , otherwise they are always different sizes
  18. Edit thread changing title to SOLD
  19. Yes me too
  20. 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”
  21. Sounds like horse has pretty much bolted
  22. I’ve just lost my eyesight ... that is vile
  23. Via eBay - they were fine
  24. Jimmy was also a wealthy and very litigious man, protected by people at the Beeb
