  1. Never done the tribute thang but i've seen some stonking bands The Counterfeit Stones, A Whole Lotta Led, Jailhouse Lizzie ( Lizzy ? ) All were bluddy excellento
  2. This was partly why i gave up on my last band. There was more than 1 reason , but the rediculous volume helped. And naturally, the Les Paul / Marshall wielding lead git matched him. We were rehearsing one evening, and i always got plonked next to the drummer, and although he was loud, his practice / rehearsal kit was a bit dead and wasnt as loud as his gigging kit. Anyways, this rehearsal was even louder for some reason, and during some maniacal tubbing, he went onto the cymbals and i got that huge top end cymbal wash in my right ear, and ended up with a form of tinnitus for over a year. Everytime i walked anywhere, my right ear used get a sound like squishing when i put my right foot down. If you imagine the sound you get when putting a seashell next to your ear, but it stops as i picked my right foot up. So it went squish - no squish - squish - no squish. I also got the squishing sound when i put my head on the pillow at night, if i laid my head down on the right side with that ear on the pillow. I used to wear ear plugs at gigs but never at rehearsals because of the quieter kit he used, but i got caught out - once. That was enough - i wore plugs at every rehearsal after that. Thought i had permanent damage till it disappeared. Luckily, it was not the high pitched whistle that some people with permanent tinnitus get.
  3. There was a member called Will 8 years ago ? Great name
  4. Then left is the way to go. Carry on
  5. Paying a 4 figure sum for vintage ( early ) Fenders is mostly about the ' fever ' that that permeates these mass produced planks, not the quality of the instrument The only reason to buy one these days is that you're unlikely to lose money on it, due to the Fender fever mentioned
  6. Whatever feels the most comfortable is the way to go. The first time i picked up a guitar ( at school ) i naturally went right handed, not knowing why. But it was a natural choice. Thats what you should follow, your natural choice Forget any others reasons
  7. If it was factory reliced , it would be... Dingwall deliberately dinged I'll go get my pac-a-mac
  8. I'm not positive, but the dark / light areas may well be because of not using sanding sealer first. If you sealed the wood first, then i dont know
  9. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitar-strap-St-Georges-flag-design-/182191361117
  10. He wasn't looking for a flag, just a strap with a UK flag design Here's what you get on the first page - right at the top
  11. Make an effort Guitar strap english flag design https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl
  12. Thread of the mods i did, guided along by those who know - Like Phil and Stevie
  13. They dont go as quickly as lightweight cabs, so dont despair PT. Not only that, i have 2 of them / identical
  14. Hardly, Christine. If you can knock up basses like you're doing, i'd say you have a bit of mileage left.
  15. Just finishing off .... I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster I'm a demolition man
  16. Wrong If playing in Eb, then you don't move the little riff down to the 4th / 3rd etc The sequence then, for Eb little riff is below : 5th fret on D string, 5th fret on A string, open E string.............. 4th fret D string, 4th fret A string, open E string The last bit may be easier to play A string 5th fret, E string 7th fret, A string 5th fret, A string 7th fret
  17. That explains a lot. I was thinking through the build photos just how professional it all looked and the machinery at your disposal. Cheat
  18. 3 is plenty. When auditioning members , at the time , we sent them a list of tracks but just asked them to pick 3 and get stuck in. You can easily determine whether you want them or not. There's absolutely no need to ask an auditonee to learn 11 songs just to see if they can play and fit in the band. Thats just nuts, a huge overkill and just wastes everyone's time. Especially if you have a few people to audition
