  1. Theres only so much Boogie Woogie Piano I can put up with, whenSqueeze swapped Jools for Paul Carrack it was a definite step up imo
  2. I'm not even a fan of tapping on the guitar, it's a shortcut to real guitar playing, like power chords, so on the bass it has even less appeal for me
  3. And someone who's famous for shouting 1-2-3-4, hardly J S Bach was he!
  4. 72, that would be back to a slab board which, in the right hands, can be removed and StewMac do a vintage replacement rod
  5. I wasnt watching Claptout, I was watching the Bassists. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit by the way
  6. Oh my God! For the past 25 years I've been singing Gordon Brown
  7. It's true, you drop them off and pick them up a couple of hours later
  8. Make Your Own Electric Guitar by Melvin Hiscock (made up name) is my Bible. A course would be great if you were thinking of making a living out of it, but personally I'd get a good book and start building using cheap timber to start with, I made a jig that I use for fingerboard profiling and fret slot cutting, it was done on the cheap but works well. You can start of with plywood for bodies to get used to using a router and jigs for neck sockets, pup cut outs, control cavities etc then move on to decent timbers as you gain confidence. My next build is going to be a 64 P Bass, veneered board, vintage truss rod with body end adjustment, clay dots, etc
  9. I think Triggerfinger's definition of 'Man Down' is different to Rihanna's
  10. I like Tim Buckley's, Song to the Siren but prefer the Cocteau Twins version
  11. A Joiner I know has a 13" planer/thicknesser, I keep hinting at him to leave me it in his will, although he does lend me it when required
  12. Sure is, like I said it was an exercise to identify the pitfalls involved, the timber was free and the truss rod, rosewood fingerboard and fret wire came to about 30 quid
  13. Heres one I made from scratch, done as an exercise to identify the pitfalls, also done with basic hand tools, barring a router and an English pull saw for the fret slots
  14. I built this body and fitted an aftermarket neck, the four piece, single saddle bridge I bought was really poor quality and I'm now on the lookout for something more up market. I've also built a body and neck from scratch but I need to get some photos to upload
  15. If you've heard that abysmal, 'Monkey Dance' you will raise a banner to "Boring and old fashioned"
  16. I watched it last night, Saturday the 6th, really enjoyed it. What I came away with, and relative to this site, is that John McVie played more interesting basslines with John Mayall than any of his later stuff
  17. Squier running out of ideas and this is the best they could come up with, shame
  18. Me too, and Def Leppards is the worst by a country mile
  19. Muddy Waters, "You Need Love" was covered twice, first by The Small Faces as "You Need Lovin", then by Zep as "Whole Lotta Love", The Small Faces being the best version for me, Marriott was obviously a big influence on Plant. Check all three out
  20. Thanks, by the way, is the heart the 'Like' button?
