  1. Jerome Rimson on Roger Chapman's 'Live in Hamburg'.
  2. I leave the strings tuned but put the body between my knees and pull the neck back to take the strain off the truss rod while adjusting it. Seems to work - haven't broken one yet, but then I'm not doing it every day.
  3. Hardly peanuts, and it puts us second in the list quoted above. Obviously I am arts and music inclined, but even I can see that getting manufacturing going again is far more important.
  4. Some very understandable entries there, but equally some really wierd entries and ordering. 'Vive la difference' I guess.
  5. And "Blackbird singing at the dead of night" - most unusual.
  6. The Orange oil based 'label Remover" is very good.
  7. Surely never a better time to ask............................................. How much does your bass weigh?
  8. I think it's runnier than you'd like it, sir.
  9. Possibly the colour scheme?
  10. That looks like the classic finger board wood; pine. Mind you it must be expensive, cause he couldn't afford to make the finger board wide enough for the strings!
  11. Those extractor tools can be quite Brittle. I was waiting for that to break! However, why didn't he put the adjustable spanner on the hex of the 'Gripper Rod'.
  12. This one for sure , and anyone leaving before it ended would be automatically excluded from the will! But also I'd forgetten what a beautiful song "Days of Our Lives" is.
  13. Despite the omissions (which didn't pick up on) I found it informative and interesting.
  14. Sounds much like stereo to me.
  15. I've not listened to it all, but it just seems to wander from side to side (which I find irritating) with no separation of the parts*. Seems a wasted opportunity to me. * apart from the "Tom" seems to be a bit higher in the head than the rest of it.
  16. I'll take your word for it. I admit I was thinking in terms of the old triac based dimmers, and hadn't really thought about the LED versions.
  17. Very late to the show, but they don't really.
  18. Newtone stings? They reckon to to almost anything.
  19. I can't believe that no-one has asked how much it weighs.
  20. A Family fan here as well (as you may have guessed). In case you didn't know, Chapman is still going strong (if infrequently) at the age of 77 (78 in a few weeks!). A stark contrast to the recently discussed sad case of Phil Collins. Luck of the draw I guess. Currently working on an album with Poli Palmer (Keys and Vibes in the above clips).
