  1. Depped with a resident house band in a 50+ year old resort. Sight read happily through the set. Turned page to find Le Freak. Started playing and then had a moment of clarity that I was playing one of the great bass lines, got lost, and took a solo in the middle section because I has NO idea where I was in the song. Whoops.
  2. Hi all! I have a student who is struggling with his Ibanez bass. He has tried to re-wire it to a new jack socket but sadness has happened because he has got lost in wires. At the moment it looks like this [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140912_124111_zpsnsjwvxbg.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140912_124105_zpscvusjpem.jpg.html"][/url] The black wire which is not soldered to anything is coming off the battery. The black wire that is soldered to the jack is from the pre, as is the white. I'm sure you lot can do these in your sleep, but we are confused. At the moment there is a weak and puny signal coming out which cuts out completely when the floating wire is touched anywhere on the jack socket. Help! TIA.
  3. DR Ducks Ax-Wax works great for me. Loads of people use Lemon Oil and have no issues. I have no idea why it did not work for me, the bottle was pretty old.
  4. I am glad Lemon Oil worked for you. I tried some recently and it totally dried out the board and made the frets rough. This was a brand new neck. It might be that the Lemon Oil was old, I dunno.
  5. I played this in The Gallery all those years ago. I thought I recognised it. It is beyond lush!

  7. Taken out of a USA P5. I'm sure I needed it, but now I cannot remember why I needed it. Perhaps I did not need it after all. LIfe is funny that way.
  8. Istanbul Mehmet 20" ride sizzle. Rivets all out but I have a set of custom fit removable brass rivets (better tone) for it. Also known as very small brass bolts and nuts. No dents, keyholing or any of that malarky. Stick marks and decomposing foam from case. More sizzle than a bacon sandwich. [s]£115[/s] £100 to you door
  9. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1410014705' post='2545422'] I reckon you'll find Bottom F# a couple of frets up from Bottom E. That's OK, no need to thank me. [/quote]
  10. Used but good to go. I no longer need them. Not looking for trades at the moment. Need them you know you do.
  11. If you look very carefully you can see a D-tuner on it. I am afraid that will be coming off unless you REALLY want it and pay me £40 more.

  13. Demeter Minnie to DB751. From the sublime to the sublime.
  14. I had clocked the Circle K stuff but it would mean posting from the US and I need a string NOOOOOOOW. But thanks for the input
  15. [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1409855792' post='2544057'] Lots and lots of stuff by Gilbert and Sullivan, at least according to my dad. [/quote] Oooof, that takes me back.
  16. Upon further consideration, he also knows aesthetics.
  17. Ta. I had been wondering around the usual sites looking for singles but there was nothing there. I just googled the Warwick and up it popped.
  18. Hi all, I am messing with a bottom F# thang. I have just bought a Harley Benton BZ 6000 to see how the whole thing works. It is a 35" 5 piece through neck. I have been keeping a .195 string on one side for the right moment. It turns out that my .195 is a 34" scale. Gutted. It also turns out that .195 is more suitable for towing cars. Or perhaps setting up suspension bridges. Where do I get a (guessing) .165 35" scale string in the UK? I need one ASAP because I have a hugely important major world tour coming up. Obv, that last sentence was not true. I just want one because I want one. But I really want it ASAP.
  19. [quote name='triggno9' timestamp='1409761208' post='2543055'] I've just finished the new paint work on my own FEARLESS F212. Now this will keep up with drummers, Guitarists, more guitarists, keyboards, brass sections !! [/quote] Oooooooof! Is that in wedge format?
