  1. What? Which Watts? The Watts what you listen to or the ones what you see under 'Members'? I thought that was a nice touch.
  2. I might be interested in taking it as is. Depends on whether he's up for a cheap sale. PM me if you think it's worth pursuing.
  3. It happens. I dropped a contact with a chap who's main thing was keyboards and MIDI. He answered the JMB ad I had up a couple of years ago. He'd looked for bass to go with his guitar and singing. Right from the off his attitude was both patronising and stifling. I suppose he thought he was being hospitable but I couldn't wait to get out of the session. It's right what they say - auditions and interviews cut two-ways. I rejected his application for me to play with him. Heeheehee. Of course I didn't say that to him. Rather I claimed that his set list was too much for my feeble ability and that he'd be better looking elsewhere while I stuck to my humble set. I sometimes wish I had stuck it out but I didn't feel there was any level on which we'd ever click, if you get my meaning.
  4. Fewer expectations? I have a hard time believing that but whatever you say. Heeheehee.
  5. I find that just the right amount of dirt on the air delivers a fair amount of heft alright. [A stifled fart murmurs gently behind the conversation]. Smoothness is not guaranteed using dirty air however. An especially lumpy delivery could mean that you have to pick the bits out of it. I run a stench filter on a foot pedal as a matter of routine. I mean, you just don't know who's been pumping it out on stage before you do you?
  6. I'd click the Sad button but I don't want to be negative about it. Crikey! You must have cables everywhere by now. How long have you been doing them? Have a Thanks instead.
  7. So... If you go wireless, is sound reproduction more faithful when you wear a tin foil hat to contain your stray energetic thoughts about what to spend your next tax rebate on? GASsing like a good 'un.
  8. Did you say this is to be a showpiece for AJR guitars Andy? If not, I am sure you'd struggle to find a better example of your art. I'm waiting eagerly to hear news of how it sounds now. No pressure.
  9. I was amazed years ago when I was taught that Balsa is in fact a hardwood. It's all about water content, not perceived hardness apparently. 'Balsa - is a pale white to gray. It has a distinct velvety feel. It has exceptional strength to weight properties. It is the lightest and softest wood on the market. A hardwood.' http://mr-dt.com/materials/hardwoods.htm
  10. There is a collector of Peavey gear here. I forget who for the moment. He's got that much high-density equipment that I fear he may create an embryonic black hole with the accumulated mass. You might find a market for yours second hand. It would allow you wallet space to GAS for a nice lickle barefaced wedge. You might find some pointers in this ancient BC topic;
  11. New ones. From this thread; Twigman replies toBigRedX's post of the 11th day of the 14th month...
  12. Has the date format of quotes been mentioned yet? I noticed that we have month/day/year instead of the more intuitive and British day/month/year. Have we got to have it like that?
  13. I was actually born in Wimbledon and I resemble that remark!
  14. We're taking sides now? Where can I get a Bovril and a pie?
  15. My status?  I haven't really got one.  I live in a sort of limbo between semi-retirement and can't-be-ar5edness.  I need a swift kick up the Khyber Pass.

    1. discreet

      discreet

      Semi-retirement and can't-be-arsedness? You must be a cabinet minister. Or possibly asleep in the House of Lords.

      Now that I think, yes.  That must be it.  Where's my expense claim form?  Quickly now, I have an important report to sit on.

  16. Yes. I think he's become a Goth too. His Avatar is now just a black dot on a black background inside a circle with a black outline.
  17. I don't use the full suite of accessibility features. As most of the animated attention-seeking stuff is commercial I stop the ads at source. It works well but with exceptions like, ahem, @Happy Jack 's dancing Spiderman. Only Joking HJ, my thumb serves to block the image if it's getting to be a real inconvenience.
  18. Sorry NJ. I am being flippant. OT: I think you might need to assert your rights with this one. As already mentioned, the name of the band is likely to be your property. I'd seek proper advice about your intellectual rights.
  19. It would be be good to have a setting that stops flashing or animated images. Even some of the animated avatars can be a hindrance when I'm trying to read.
  20. When you constantly have to fend off amorous approaches from that invisible bear it is of little surprise that your Fender has kissed the deck on occasion. Wink.
  21. Is Classic and Cool an Internet-only outlet? The only clue as to where they are physically located is the STD dialling code and that is not a reliable indicator. My suggestion would be to identify any shops that are only accessible on the 'net or that don't have a place where you can go to look at the goods other than by prior arrangement. It's a great topic. Thanks for posting.
