Yeah - with Malcolm out of action permanently, the previous drummer (long-serving) fired, and now this - there's not much left! Angus will probably keep going 'til that SG falls apart..

It looks nice - and yeah, some bits will change after feedback from the show and fans etc. Sure -terrible access to top frets -but it wouldn't be a proper take if you could noodle up to 24 with ease. If it does get the combustion pricing it well sell like hotcakes.

You can get them fretless - Steven Gibson got a 6 string unlined fretless - he is mad though. I also think it's still the case that even though the licence expired, Dingwall still pay Novax (or his estate) a fee for each instrument. Correct me if I'm manufacturing randomness. Yes - eagerly awaiting the Dingbird. They need to do a Ding-Bongo (which is a bit like a drink we used to have as kids), and then maybe a Dingberger (headless, tiny body), heck, perhaps even a Ding Paul SG-shape.

You can play chords on them, You're just not trying hard enough!

Foo Fighters - In Your Honour. Works for me. As does Topographic Oceans, and largely, Physical Graffiti.

Victory by Megadeth references about half of their previous song titles...

Holy contrabass noodlings, Batman. That is cheap. Almost worth getting to see if you like 6-strings. Even if you lose a chunk reselling it's a fairly good value experiment. The deluxe is about twice the price, still good value, looks really nice too.

I have been waiting for it since they announced it well over a year ago. I'm not paying £250 for it though - it can wait a bit longer...

Wa-gon Wheel-y have to try harder to beat the last few...

Am all out of Fig (rolls) for this now. I have a THR for my guitar and it's very nice, lots of features, good sound, light etc. Like the B Social it isn't to replicate your gig rig (although I don't have one, so it is actually my main guitar amp..) So I can see that any limitations it might have need to be taken with that in mind. But £600?! I paid £219 for my THR, and I could see the B Social justifying more because it has a few extra bits like wireless playback etc, but £600?! I presume it makes toast too for this price?

3mm on my Peavey - I have had to put relief back into the neck because there's some definite uneven frets going on around 3-6 and it just chokes even with the bridge saddles at full height. Now I have the saddles in the middle of their range, and only a touch of buzz when I play. It does depend how you learned to play: I couldn't use my amp at any sort of volume for years as it would annoy flatmates etc. so I really dig in to make myself heard. If I had the action down at 2mm It'd be buzz city. I do like the clank though.

Source Audio Dimension Reverb.

Right place, right time - bit like Oasis. *shudder*

Yes - I can recall proper hip-hop such as A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul etc., but this is just 'urban' and it's utter tripe. There are countless artists far better than him but who can't afford the PR. He's currently trying to get the photoshopped pic of him snogging himself taken off the internet. (Someone, find the button and turn it off while we remove the source of the picture. That'll do it.) Bieber had a definite teenage phase of being a pillock (to put it mildly)- guess that can happen when you sell a million records at 15 or whatever it was. He appears to be a but more sensible now (his music's still not my cup of tea) - but he did, for instance, tell his UK fans to download the NHS song at xmas so it could beat him to Number 1. Now, you can argue that was clever no-lose PR from him, but the effect was still altruistic.

I don't pluck every note on Bass or Guitar. I find hammering-on louder than pull-offs, for both instruments. I'm only talking 3-4 note runs here - not Allan Holdsworth - pick once at the start of the song - style legato...

Noodle: what bassists do with style and flair in music shops when trying to think of the tunes they were going to play to try out this bass they've picked up. Alternatively: what guitarists do in the same instance, but usually at ear-splitting volume with too much distortion and some added: watch how badly I can sweep pick eh?!
