  1. His works of art make me chuckle. Yes - I don't understand what would possess someone to actually buy one.
  2. I’ve still got the screenshots of him messaging me at night, but I found it a bit handbags. One other of his victims told me that he’d been assaulted in his house in front of his family; my local police gave me a number to call if he did turn up at my house after I specifically told him not to; it’s always good to have an option.
  3. I guess there may be an angle being put forward that it was all an honest mistake and people have been refunded. However, the attempts at intimidation and faked proof failed deliveries gives the lie to that.
  4. Her head got really messed up.
  5. Anybody who hasn't had a Thunder should! The price is about right.
  6. Most enlightening.
  7. It brings a whole new meaning to shredding a guitar!
  8. 'Makes yer proud to be British!
  9. Ah yes - I've had a notification from the police that he's been interviewed and asking for an update from me and whether I can confirm that I was repaid.
  10. A great interpretation of a tremolo bridge.
  11. Well, he hasn't heard this shout-out, so maybe Jeff's a bit mutton.
  12. Sounds like a detective novel: The mysterious case of Jeff Duncan.
  13. I've got one - it's fun!
  14. You can't beat a good drum!
  15. Interesting - I have another doubleneck with those bat position markers on it.
  16. That's a rather nice looking bass!
  17. Cheers! Yep - a Minitaur. Next to it are two Roland JV-1010 synth units; on has an Orchestral expansion card in it and the other a Vintage Synth. The one at the top is a Peavey Spectrum Bass, which has some spectacularly good sounds. That picture was taken at the last South East Bass Bash (2019!). I've since swapped out the Peavey (weird 15V AC power supply) for a Novation Bass Station. I've since picked up a Bartolini 4-way pickup for a Rickenbacker bass which should tie-up with a Roland GM-70 bass to MIDI converter which needs a rack to sit in. (I've no idea what I'd actually do with it once I get it working, but that's a separate matter!)
  18. Hooky's was a Hondo II.
  19. I'm only there for the guitar/bass stuff.
  20. The Moog Minitaur is a great little MIDI unit; it is a bit one-dimensional though, but if you're after a Moog bass sound then that's not particularly an issue. You can program it via a PC app and save the sound settings ("patches" or "programs" in synthy terminology) to call them back. (One thing to note is that it is limited to the lower registers, so you don't get the full range of a Taurus, unless you maybe use an octave pedal.) The Behringer Model D, which is a clone of a Minimoog is therefore also a great bass synth. However, it doesn't have presets, so you have to twiddle the knobs and remember their settings; that said, the left-right panel layout helps you understand the signal flow and synth controls. I've also got a Novation Bass Station, which has some good stuff in there, but it really needs a PC controlling it.
  21. I saw Hackett a few years back at Aylesbury - it was a rather good gig. (And I got the tickets free!)
  22. Dammit - how did I miss that?
