  1. Wasn't that Saved? On reflection, no. I can't remember either Mick, sorry.
  2. It is. It's almost as decorative as a headstock! Those large grub screws are reassuring. The large size means a larger footprint, a larger Allen key and greater longevity. I'd still want to swap those for Torx screws but it means using a less common tool for string changes. Perhaps not a great advantage having close tolerance torxies if you've lost the key to them.
  3. I'd like to see how you get on with the single retaining feature on the Nova. I have doubts about its stability but that is just a notion of my own.
  4. Could be worse... it might have chaffinched its woodpecker or got pigeon-holed by a great big bustard. It's not a garden out there it's a jungle and we all know... Jungle is massive!
  5. It's to be expected with a beard like mine.
  6. Better than being a complete tit though. (I've never seen a partial tit now that I think...)
  7. Update: We've made excellent progress just lately. The Falls Clinic and the physiotherapists have got Jack standing and sitting well enough to manage the passenger seat of his own car with minor adaptations! We had a trial run out this afternoon. All being well, we should be attending with our own transport. Many thanks to @Andyjr1515 and @Stub Mandrel for their kind offers of a lift. We are optimistic as always but it's reassuring to know that we have options if the rules change on us again suddenly.
  8. (still sulking because the yellow/black scheme has been dropped) Not saying. Oh darn it. All right. Mirrored pick guard against satin black. It'll be cool with the chrome hardware but flatter than if you go for chrome plate.
  9. Cool. Our Jack has made a couple of ukes from kits and his own design. Great fun in a confined corner of the workshop.
  10. Very tidy. That's not yet got its finish on yet has it? That should make it pop.
  11. If you want honk you need GEESE. (Ducks swiftly behind @RichardH)
  12. Especially if Fleabag turns out to be Purple Ronnie on a Vimto sponsored tour as I have suspected for a little while just lately. Not sure why.
  13. Like you didn't cast the ground bait for it. Heeheehee. Butter wouldn't melt...
  14. Seconded. @Dood manages to keep it interesting without being hysterical.
  15. I've been waiting since puberty for someone to sit me down and have that particular chat with me. I think we may have left it too late for me to benefit much from it. Please, please, please tell me Fleabag wants purple knobs.
  16. Where does that plug in or is it wireless?
  17. Without wanting to stereotype anyone... how is she for shoes? Not that I'd dare use it as a counter argument of course, just curious.
  18. I hope you can fit the machine heads without spoiling that lustrous finish. It's a great effect.
  19. I agree. A tasteful airbrush job depicting splattered zombie skull and brain fragments with appropriate gouges taken out here and there.
  20. Although that's in E flat I believe Nate originally played that on a four that is tuned to E flat rather than a five as he is sometimes seen with. He said in an interview that he liked the slackness of the lower tuning. That and a relatively high action contribute to "his" sound. I happily play it on my five but I've not yet got it down to my satisfaction.
