  1. intended for @wateroftyne perhaps ? I don't recall any characters in Peppa Pig called Mandy (Wendy Wolf maybe)
  2. @super al both - DD#2 loves peppa pig and we are staying in southampton hilton
  3. @dannybuoy I had the same experience with exactly that bass - mine was white.
  4. @maxfox you're doing just fine. English is complicated
  5. Indeed it does make sense fess up time: these are stated to be from a geddy lee bass. I have no reason to disbelieve it
  6. just take the shine off with some wirewool , or the green/rough side of a pan scourer .
  7. well, if I'd said "phwoarr nice ti..." I could understand the fuss and as the father of two stunningly pretty little girls, agree, but I didn't. if you type @ and wait a moment you get a list of users to suit and you can drill down. Make sure you click on their avatar and the link goes orange. They then get a nudge to look. Bit like facebook
  8. steady on there, you'll get the same treatment from the misogyny police that I did for suggesting that one of @wateroftyne 's fellow performers was cute
  9. Just shield it with foil - simples
  10. I've bought some jazz bass pickups on ebay. They have codes 048612 & 048613 underneath which I know are fender codes for the bobbins - they have "59" or "se" handwritten on in white (its a little unclear) Standard spec for US jazz is allegedly Neck 8.3 kohm and Bridge 7.8kOhm they look fine visually I used a multi-meter and measured at the soldered contacts neck 6.9 k Ohm bridge 7.57 k Ohm can anyone tell me what the effect of the resistances being reversed (ie relatively between the two positions) is ? If I've measured wrongly please advise where I should correct my technique - I used the 20 kOhm range. thanks
  11. not all MIM pickups are created equal look underneath and you'll find codes to look up
  12. actually I quite like that strat. Those are quite brave designs (I particularly like the pink les paul) although I do prefer the look of the epiphones slightly
  13. I forgot “dancing Queen “with ABBA @4000 thinking on same lines I see
  14. I too would choose suspicious minds. @Beedster Also Folsom Prison Blues with Johnny Cash - I totally flew playing this alone with an acoustic guitarist and it would just be ace playing this with Johnny Cash if he were less dead. Crowd went mental.
  15. Could you maybe lever the bridge down or something ? A little like a drop d tuning peg
  16. they ask a lot of money for their product and pretty much only because its made in America. Whilst I appreciate that Americans are paid more than the Chinese; its not proportionately better for being made in the US, or each one absolutely perfect . Its not like each one is carefully blessed by magic pixies upon completion. Just priced out of its market. I'd say the same about US fenders. I had an epiphone les paul that blew a real gibson out of the water once i'd replaced the pickups. Worth the extra to go Gibson? I didn't feel so.
  17. i recommend the "blues tribute" pickup from "Only Music" on ebay - cheap and very fat
  18. I'm planning a mary kaye style see-thru white for my jazz
