    I started out with an Ibanez SR300 and after going through Fender, Epiphone, Squier, Peavey and Musicman, I'm back at Ibanez again. This time it's an SRMS805. I'm really liking it. It plays beautifully and I'm getting some evil distorted sounds out of it.

    Opened but unused 5 string set. Nickel wound long scale EXL165-5 .135 .105 .085 .065 .045 I opened them up, realised I need extra long scale and put them back in the pack. Never fitted or used

    Unfortunately it's often near impossible to play stuff originally in C on a 5 string tuned to B because you're playing off that open low string so much.

    I know what you mean. I've not bothered with much in C because my 4 string won't go that low and my 5 won't go that high.

    If the Wurzels had shown up and played there, I'm fairly certain they'd have had a huge crowd singing along and moshing! Wurzels used to be regulars at my mates local pub, a couple of the Stranglers were regulars as well. All top blokes

    Our local butcher makes bloody lovely faggots and they're dirt cheap. A couple faggots with some well seasoned mash and a good gravy with some fried onions is my favourite winter warmer.

    Are non standard tunings common outside of hard Rock and metal? I'm constantly changing tunings anywhere between drop A and E standard for metal covers but if I try anything like soul, pop or reggae it is almost always in E standard tuning.

    Do the Scottish drink?

    Paranoid by Sabbath is the dead easy song that gets me. It's one of the first songs beginners learn but I can fork it right up

    I was at a music festival in Somerset last week. They had doom metal, black metal, prog metal, post metal, blackened post metal, symphonic metal, pagan folk metal, deathcore and blackened doom metal. No Wurzels

    A mate of mine worked with them a couple times. Apparently they hate each other. Arrive at the venue separately, separate dressing rooms, don't speak to each other and leave separately.

    I have used Luminlay markers and they work great. I'd pay someone else to fit them but that's just me. It only cost £60 for fitting them a few years ago

    Bob Dylan wrote brilliant songs for better musicians to cover. Having said that, here's the Ministry cover of Lay Lady Lay. I don't know what I like about it but I do so here it is.

    Well I've picked up a bargain Ibanez SRMS805 on ebay Thanks for all the replies.

    Are you sure it's not a baritone guitar? That's what they look like and I know they make a range of baritone guitars.

    I'll check out that Solar. I could live without the G string. I'm playing stoner metal so don't get up that high. Probably 60% of what I play is on the low A# string

    If there's a genre of art which uses only circles and straight lines and 3rd angle projection then that's the job for me

    I'd love a Dingwall but my £1000 budget says no.

    Good points. My degree is in engineering and that's the only career I've ever had so I'd never thought about the transferable skills. If only I could transfered my knowledge of metallurgy and swearing to another profession.

    She's mainly in to rock and metal but is more than happy to play anything, she gets roped in to theatre activities and playing for bands missing a bassist or guitarist. I think she'd be quite happy playing pop or musicals as a day job as long as she could find time for a metal band for fun.
