Auschwitz the meaning of pain.

But what is a Fender? Anything with a Fender logo? IIRC the current Fender company just own the original blueprints and trademarks. The original factory, machines, and craftsmen are no longer with us. It's all about the 'brand' .

TalkSport or Radio 4, on the wireless in the car. At home either music I'm learning or playing along with for my bands. That's not to say I don't still buy music. I downloaded Reign in Blood recently (only took 30 years to finally get it) but haven't blasted it out yet.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1441010950' post='2855216'] Welcome A colleague tells me that instruments are hard to get/expensive in Brazil (his wife is Brazilian). Would it be cost-effective (and legal!) to buy something here, take it home and sell it? [/quote] Yes, because he can get the VAT back at the airport.

Use it or lose it. I found that once muscle memory goes then it really is like starting from scratch.

When I did it to my old 4 string MM Sub, it felt like a 4 string Sub with thicker strings. The neck width and bridge spacing of a 4 string is never gonna feel like a 5 string.

What about a GK drive pedal for that GK growl? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/gallien-krueger-diesel-dawg-bass-overdrive-pedal

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1440954857' post='2854952'] Hate to be that guy... I thought it was as bad as their Glastonbury set last year. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with being there - which excuses the sound being muddled or not great. The bass solo was a bit of a nothingness really - we all know RT is a monstrous player, so why the dithery mess? And Kirk Hammett's guitar tuning was off throughout, he was scrappy (for him - he was Mr clean when I used to watch them) - fluffed notes and even cocked up a pickscrape in his first 'solo' bit. At points he looked lost, sounded even more lost and then raised his hands up and gave the cocky nod like he'd rewritten the rule book. The first half sounded rushed, sloppy, and then the biggest cheer came for their cover of Whiskey in the Jar... I don't know, Twitter was full of 'Metallica are gods' 'Kirk Hammett is a guitar hero' - I thought they had a shocker. But, whatever, I'm not rich, I'm not them and I'm not headliner of any festival anywhere... Just a disgruntled fan of their older stuff (and Newsted)... [/quote] Glad you said it, so I didn't have to say it first ;-)

If Tetley put the T in Tea, who put the c##t in Scunthorpe?

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1440840759' post='2854220'] I suspect it's a measure to keep the strings from oxidising so they keep longer on the shelf than purely environmental reasons. Plus cheaper than bagging individual strings. [/quote] Yup. They had issues with 'tarnishing'. The new packaging is supposed to stop this.

'These days' it's not necessary, as you can just search for a how to video on YouTube. Not saying this is a good thing btw.
