Another happy customer here, Great service. Thanks

My knowledge of music theory is at best rudimentary but the way I work it (and was ‘taught’) is that it depends where you come from. So if if the note before was an A or below it’s an A#, it was a B or above it’s a Bb. That may well be utter rubbish but works for me.

Hit a stumbling block today. Had everything set up, measured up and ready to get the router on the neck pocket and other bits. A couple of hours was set aside to get the routing going. I then started looking through my router bits to find the flush cut one only to find I only have a bottom bearing one not a top bearing one. My memory must be going. I have one on order from China, but it means I have will have to put it on hold for a few weeks and that will drop me into busy times at work again. I didn’t waste the time though and got on with a part for it that will be quite unusual but I will put more up on that when it’s finished.

Another 38mm lover here, just don’t feel comfortable on wider necks. I don’t have small hands but do suffer from an aggressive form of arthritis so don’t know if that affects it. I have an eye out fora Precision with Jazz width neck which I know they do but seem very rare.

Looking for a decent blue/ turquoise stain to go on Sepele (poor man’s mahogany). Had a look and few come up but would Like to hear which ones work well for others. I have a few offcuts I can test on. And does anyone have any suggestions for a lacquer to go on top?

I use roto66s nickel, they are bright for the first hour or so until they bed in and then are perfect. They don’t have the longest life though.

Grade A plonker, don’t stress over it.

To be fair he didn’t say pro what, you would look like a professional idiot if you turned up to a gig with it.

Oh boy........... (I could live with some of the colours though I think)

Hoping to make it this year, however we are awaiting confirm a repeat booking on the 4th, if last time is anything to go by there could be an epic lock-in type situation going on so I may not be at my best on Saturday.

My updated rig, still need to whip my main amp of its present housing for bigger gigs until I get a replacement.

Neighbour has been out this afternoon so had a chance to put one of the cabs through it’s paces (ordered a second lead from obbm today). VERY impressed! They are renowned for being transparent tone wise and it’s not proved that wrong. The clarity and volume from something so small and light is amazing. I only had it linked up to my small venue/ practice amp but it still impressed.

My new cabs arrived this morning (many thanks EAD), Not had chance to fire them up properly yet (waiting for neighbour to go out) but they look very nice and the weight is unbelievable.

This^^^^^^ I found I had to work hard to get away from the brightness described above. Some must like it but it’s not for all.

Bought a couple of cabs from Alain, could not have been an easier transaction. Spot on in every way and cabs are fantastic. Deal with confidence.

I have a Gibson and balance is perfect, it’s a fender style neck and will be deep set so balance certainly won’t be an issue anyway.

If you put the adapter in won’t it run the battery down though? The circuit is made by the presence of the jack in nearly all cases I think.

Right angle one perhaps?

I have an Ibanez TMB30, not as cheap as some here but a great sounding shortscale for little money.

I had a mooer and a HOF, ended up selling the HOF, only because a wanted ad came up on here and the Mooer one works as well for what I needed. Mine lives on the pedal board and I do use it on a couple of songs on our general covers set.

I have a Gibson Thunderbird you could have a try on if you can’t find anything in a shop, I am just north or Birmingham, also have a couple of Ibanezs but not that model.

PMT in Birmingham have a decent range but no Gibson/ epiphone last time I was there. There is a good place in Leamington I think but I haven’t used it personally.

Play them all, pick the one that sounds and feels best to you.
