  1. Various versions of Doctor Doctor.
  2. I think on most 4x4s they are significantly wider apart than on a 4-a-side headstock. The Westone here (too narrow for a change) has tuners 2" apart and my Tanglewood is 2 1/8", Fender is 1 7/8". The difference is more striking than you'd expect.
  3. Case dismissed! Luvvit!
  4. Back From The Future
  5. Recycled Plastic Bertrand
  6. The Padded Shoulders
  7. Don't think we should promote the use of drugs 😉 80s R. Goode
  8. To be serious for a moment, what sort of 80s music?
  9. Now That's What I Call Music Living in the Eighties Absolute 80s Live
  10. Wouldn't one have been enough? P.S. is that the Warwick "Davis" signature bass?
  11. Looks like Daphne Blue to me... but there's so much variation as sonic blue gets darker as it ages and daphne blue turns turquoise if the lacquer yellows, and they both change depending on the lighting...
  12. Interesting, the 'Gold Glory' has Grovers and a Seymour Duncan PUP, but then it costs £600.
  13. Should have used two layers. Everyone knows double denim is best.
  14. Back in the 80s I got a job in Bridgend and the first day we went and got me waterproofs on the company account. Later I moved to Warwickshire and didn't wear a raincoat for 18 months.
  15. I don't get on with active basses, on the whole. The longer I've been playing, the flatter I set my EQ and my feeling is active basses just do badly what the amp's equalisation does well. YMMV.
  16. I rebodied a P bass, with a PJ body yesterday, and it sounded totally gutless. Today I realised that the two 100k volume pots were 10K, so effectively 5K across the P pickup. I've ordered a pair of 250K pots which should sort it. You could argue the ideal would be fitting two 500K pots, then the arrangement would be electrically identical to a P with the J pup wound right back. I don't buy that the J-pup 'damps' the strings to any audible degree.
  17. +1
  18. Disagree. Not very punk, but we were from Royal Leamington Spa!
  19. Why is Darth Vader standing behind Hugh Cornwell?
  20. Really? Expand apparently You don't say? Are you clicking the 'expand' button? (Is it visible on your setup?)
  21. V-moda Faders are very good, 12dB so they don't stop everything. About £20. https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/V-Moda-Faders-VIP-Ear-Plugs-Rouge/27ZK?origin=product-ads&gclid=CjwKCAjwkvWKBhB4EiwA-GHjFh-ffEiwyC1ONkJ6pubxSr518CEfws-nnJ0Op5fxmc3VjOcGLetK3hoCVoAQAvD_BwE
