    Get up and play yer lazy sod !!! :)

    Or at least play lounging on the sofa in the traditional manner....if you have your feet up on one end you'll be nice and comfy, plus you won't be in her way when the Mrs is running the hoover round on Saturday morning.. ;)

  2. If possible I'd always specify   "Do not send by DHL".   I've had problems with them more than once, stuff just vanishing seems a common one, I very recently had a GAK order like this... It was a  " give me a refund now and you sort it between yourselves please" job... which they did, but would rather have had the item delivered in the first place as you'd expect..

  3. In the modern era , ie 2000 onward, I've always had a single multi pedal for doing gigs, if nothing else it's handy to have a tuner, provided it's 'lighty up' and visible, plus I tended to have a v.small ammount of chorus or reverb just to give the sound a little bit of extra something .   I never really went far into the effects that were on these pedals, personally I can't see the point of distortion on bass unless you're a Lemmy tribute act , just imho !

  4. I simply wouldn't want to chance it, especially with the euro nonsense in the background.. There's lots of other places to order from, ok the DV type operators lure you with a few quid off but not worth the grief really.

    That said I had a problem with GAK recently resulting in a "just give me a chuffin' refund".. outcome.    This as I understand it was a prob with  DHL ( who've been utter rubbish in the past too) rather than GAK themselves to be fair.

    I’ve met tyber and Si many times, this is good 

     

    Cool!.. I do like that bit of tenor sax in there !  There's probably a lot of "standards" that'd reggae or ska up brilliantly.. Funnily enough I was messing about sussing out a Beatles song with a mind that it'd be great as a reggae or ska version...

    Well it seems like my cunning plan to recruit a few fans to The Lovely Eggs has backfired 😀!

    I just hope that their bass player is not a member here.... oh, hang on, they don't have a bass player 😉.

     

    If they don't have a bass player I hate 'em already... Just as I do the Doors.. ;)

    I had one I liked, as it happens :)   A double cutaway short scale with a P pickup in it.  I swapped the stock pup for an Entwistle one and it was pretty tidy.  Weighed 3kgs, too. 

    The neck wasn't great - a little bit warped - so in the end I mated the body with the neck of a Hondo II 32" scale, with some jiggery pokery and moving the bridge back a touch, and have a nice little rocking thing now.  But I'd get another of the Encores if one came up cheaply.

    I had an encore Les Paul once, it was quite good, hefty like a LP, even looked quite decent with a cherry sunburst, it wasn't too shoddy at all, suppose it depends which of the usual suspect manufacturers made it.. Pretty certainly MIK I'd think.
