Stub Mandrel

If they had little points on the tuners they wouldlook different and by echoing the geadstock 'pip' they would brjng some unity to the design.

My brother is a Gibson addict. He has had many and still has a '62 SG Junior and a LP Junior. He also delights in a few Epiphones (he loves his Firebird and Coronet), and prefers his Eastwood LP jr to the Gibson. He also a Swuir Troublemaker. Build quality is great across all of them.

But we can call her 'Box'?

You have a diddle on my Performer then. Bareroom for a credit card between stings and a lovely headstock

Secretly rebadging Epiphones perhaps?

19.5 is unusually wide at the bridge, but the nut is 37mm, so where you pluck it's 'precision comfort' with 'jazz ease' up the neck 😁

It's that notch!

Just wait until you see my Sire at the SWBB 😍

G&L by Squier 🙂

Sounds like it needed a ⅙ turn to loosen the truss rod. My Fender Performer was exactly this after not bring played since high summer. The dealer let you down.

"One man's Bongo is another man's G&L."

That colour definitely looks better on my sock.

It is (D#m technically) We've settled on Bm 😁😁😁

Good rehearsal tonight. Boys of Summer requires a lot of concentration! I took a five string which was just as well as we ended up playing it in multiple keys. For the himass bridge fans my stock Flea Jazz had no difficulty sustaining the notes when we played Em. And for people who worry about flabby b-strings, my Harley Benton Marquess was sounding awesome. We ended up settling for Bm but I'll probably use an octaver (as does Tim Schmidt when playing it in Dm on a four string). Aside from four new songs, most of the evening was tidying up arrangements.

Apparently the original was in F#, but they re-recorded it a tone and a half lower, Don Henley would agree!

Big key changes. Tonight we will rehearse Boys of Summer. All straightforward except timing is critical with long pauses as a twiddle or two in the bridge. So it's all about tone. We've been debating... singer offered us two choices: A or E (in which case he sings an octave down). Original sounds huge in D# and even E sounds lightweight to me. I tjink A would be worst of all possible options. I want to dig my heels in for E at least.

Recirculating ball steering, 3/4" free play allowable at the MOT. Had a LDV camper (glorified Sherpa) with one, it was like steering a boat. On the motorway you'd gradually drift to teh right of your lane, correct and gradually drift left. There was no straight ahead, whatever you did or how well the wheels were aligned.

That's one for the climate change sceptics!

Who knows what the future holds... G&L basses with Fender headstocks?

"Dynamic pricing" All our clicks suggest interest and push the price up. Leave it in your basket and wait.

By what measure? Seriously what offends do much? The simplicity? Even though the G&L is seen as odd by many, due to it's prominent but functionless pip, that's still subjective.

How do they get away with using Fender logos?

You and the rest of us!

Just worried that you might be worrying about how to transport hem all, only to feel a little deflated if only a handful get all the attention. There's plenty of space, although you may need to squeeze up to create space for a latecomer.

I haven't got one!
