On the flip side I would mention again, The Guitar Shop in Worcester, owned and run by Stuart Field, a real top guy with some interesting stock and a great attitude. Nothing is too much trouble and he is a gigging musician so knows the score. It is worth a trip to Worcester guys. And I recently made a detour to visit Denmark street, and called in at the famous bass shop that was earlier mentioned, they could not have been more unhelpful, I sincerely hope they all go bust because that is what they so richly deserve, and that shop's like Stuart's pick up the business, because they deserve it.

It occurred to me that with the cumulative knowledge on this forum, we should write a book about bass guitars, with review sections, polls, technical information, etc etc.. and write the kind of book we would all want to buy... Just a thought

Hi guys, I have just acquired a stingray sub bass and want to put a black pickguard on it, does anyone know if a standard stingray pickguard fit? Cheers Stuart

On a recent trip to Antwerp I made a diversion before getting on the train to go to Denmark Street, it looked very promising with all these great looking music shops, before I actually went in and met the lobotomy receiving dullards that could not be less bothered to help. I actually tried as a sport to engage them into selling me something, but this was obviously an alien principle to them. I mean, even on a commercial basis, who the funk employs these sales prevention officers, like, heres the business plan. 1) Expensive premises in London check 2) Exhorbitant rates bil check 3) Many thousands of pounds in stock check 4) Lots of expensive advertising check 5) A retard who wont sell anything check What can go wrong..... End of rant

The serial number looks to be S948497, any info would be gratefully received. Cheers guys

EAGLES = Best live band ever, period. They put on a show that is perfection in singing, playing and showmanship. CLAPTON = Worst show ever, didn't speak to audience, very arrogant, no show. McCartney = Fantastic live show, with lots of interaction with the audience. PRINCE = Going to see this show next week.......

This old chestnut.... I play in a covers band, and my opinion is that in a covers band you are copying the best musicians in the industry, covering many styles, and offers a real challenge, whereas in an original band you will often will stay within your comfort zones and level of ability, both have ther merits but to hear nonsense about selling souls is just plain wrong. Often bands dont cover songs........because they can't, and writing original material is easy, writing great original material is insanely hard, and incredibly rare, and I for one get very tired of hearing predicatable immature writing performed, don't get me wrong there are some excellent originals bands out there (such as sketchbeat) but they are in the minority. And, it's pretty much all already been done, and therefore originals tend to be 'influenced' by what has gone before, therefore represents a watered down cover..... RETIRES TO SAFE DISTANCE

Love the iconic look of the rics, hate the playability and sound.......(sorry)
