  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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;
  6. New ones. From this thread; Twigman replies toBigRedX's post of the 11th day of the 14th month...
  7. 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?
  8. I was actually born in Wimbledon and I resemble that remark!
  9. We're taking sides now? Where can I get a Bovril and a pie?
  10. 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.

  11. Or is it really dark blue?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Testing... Wankel rotary engine
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I hope we get photos of that. Will you ride it in the traditional schoolboy-with-broom manner or will you go side-saddle? Heeheehee. It's looking loverly.
  20. Welcome Tarpaiziebass. Mic it up mate. It's a time honoured way of getting your bass in the mix at larger venues so it's good practice for you for when (not if) the duo takes off.
  21. I never enjoyed watching paint dry so much before! Well done.
  22. I was only joking when I asked because of the recurring debates (that you have been spared for the last couple of years) re: Notation vs TAB. Thanks for the reply however. It is good news. I would not have assumed that was the case but it may be worth my revisiting the idea of getting qualified. Well, almost.
  23. Good thinking that man!
  24. Have you considered a ukulele kit? Having said that, the chap we bought from in North Derbyshire charged around £80 for Jack's first kit a few years ago. Ken's choices of exotic wood are negotiable and I think Jack had specified some special bits as well. Last time we met Ken, he had made his first solid body electric guitar. He told us the year before that he didn't want to make anything with a truss rod. I was delighted to see that he overcame that restriction on his talents. I am not sure if he is doing guitar kits for sale but I'd say it is worth asking as it's a couple of months since we spoke and Ken has only two speeds; full-tilt and stop. Now that he has done truss rods I'd say he might be of help in your search. He's here; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCELpkEwclPZ-AfFH_EAlbIw He's always helpful but beware. He can talk the hind legs off of a donkey! Ken's a bassist too, so I'd recommend you see what he's about for yourself. Mention Jack and me if you do get chatting and give him our regards. Good hunting!
