  1. I've just taken delivery of a Zoom B3 with expression pedal from Nick. I'm very happy with the whole transaction. The items were sent yesterday on receipt of my bank transfer and they arrived this morning in a well wrapped package. Everything is in good working order. Nick was easy to communicate with throughout and there was no fuss at any stage. I am happy to vouch for him should you be considering a transaction.
  2. Why not try ending with Italic dots instead, just for a change? It shows an inclination to be enigmatic instead.
  3. *Caption needed All together now! *Gettin banty widdit. Please ignore Off Topic reference to the implied letter P. Other letters are available. May contain nuts.
  4. Castor oil might help. But yes, That'll add a touch of class.
  5. Sole Dad. You've come to the right plaice for a fat helping of good old codswallop.
  6. E dammed if I know for sure. He's Gouda have an opinion on it one whey or another.
  7. Just to rind things off; Does no-one buy P basses or Js come to that just for how they look? They've got to be one of the most common sights in the eyes of music fans and wannabe players.
  8. ...only if you claim that it has been chambered for lightness. Definitely. No question. In fact it's become a bit of a tradition to have cake at Bass Bashes too.
  9. Re-welcome Simon and congratulations on the anniversary. Nice cake.
  10. It is a satisfying material to work with if you follow a few simple rules. Most of these are to do with it being a notch sensitive material. In other words it will easily start to crack wherever there is a sharp nick or inside corner to concentrate stresses within the material. As Maude says, careful choice of sawblade pitch in tpi (Teeth Per Inch) relative to the thickness of the material and rate of cut should produce good results even with a hacksaw. Sometimes however, trial and error is the way to go with more complex cuts. Be prepared to do the same piece over from scratch if it goes bang (usually just as you're finishing it in my humble experience).
  11. Some solders, supplied in the form of bars, contains enough tin to emit a sound called a "tin cry". It is a faint noise that the alloy makes as it is stressed such as during a sharp bending action. Interesting that.
  12. Hearing that makes me feel like Muttley receiving a medal.
  13. I can't wait to see how your scarf joint demarcation looks after the neck carve.
  14. I have no problem with it. All you need is the correct temperature on your iron.
  15. Drill bits do not make a perfectly round hole despite appearances. That's what reamers are for. The drill bit's nominal size is for a hole finished with a reamer. The drill bit's actual size allows for a little inaccuracy in the hole that can then be cut to size, if required, with a reamer.
  16. Congratulations on your NAD (New Amp Day).
  17. Where did you get that from? There was no sham. It was merely a matter of etiquette agreed between a large well respected company and the pool of agencies that supplied sub-contractors after the company decided it wanted to take on some of those subbies. An unwritten ruling, if you will. [unsubscribes from topic]
