@kwmlondon recently put a brand new jazz scratchplate up for recycling. A stamped, self-addressed jiffy bag was requested and, on receipt, promptly returned with the goods in an as new condition. Even the protective film is untouched. Cheers!

Nice one.

That doesn't sound good. I hope he got the bass back.

About 17 quid. A fifth is about 750ml so you can find out more accurately from this. Bottoms up!

You needn't worry, you'll need mostly roots and fifths for this one that Beelzebob has kindly TABbed out for you.

An unholy instrument then. Wicked!

It's like the one on the front... only it's behind. You might be the first one ever to do it! Think of the fame and good fortune that would result just from the controversy.... PS: I was pulling your leg whilst wondering what our Norris is up to these days.

Welcome Jay.

What about a little Norris 'ole around the back? (@Norris)

Welcome Andi.

But remember, to a horny badger, that can look hot! Perhaps a bit niche though.

It's not yellow but give it time... Looks good so far.

Welcome DF.

Welcome Ricky.

Welcome Spencer.

I have just started using Tuxguitar to write some TAB from some scrolling YT clips. Interestingly, it writes standard notation as you enter in TAB. It is much easier for me to use than Guitar Pro. I couldn't get the hang of that somehow. I had to pay for it too. Tuxguitar is free. I wondered if there was any love out there for Tuxguitar. PS: I should mention that this is on the Linux platform

Once again, Dave has demonstrated great kindness and generosity by sending me some more goodies. A preamp and a pickguard all at his own cost. Securely packaged and in top condition. Much appreciated Dave!

Welcome Mark.

Not the middle. Think of where you see the most adjustment for correct intonation - the E string. The least amount is the G. The scale length is 34 inches. None of the strings will have an effective length shorter than that. If you measure with the saddles centred, you lose potential adjustment. What I do is to set the saddles to minimum adjustment (assuming all saddles travel the same amount). That is; all saddles set as close to the nut as they can go without loosing sight of the threaded end of the adjustment screw inside the saddle. You need all of the threads to be engaged for best contact between the threads of the adjustment screw and the saddle itself. I then measure from the point of contact on the saddle to the nut and mark off the body at the bridge datum to give 34 inches of string length between point of contact at the nut and the saddle. You then have max adjustment potential for each string.
