Ahh.. it's jarring to me. I've just checked and he does it on the original, too. It must just be me..

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1507808723' post='3388080'] If you want a bass line where the player is unsure of the chords and hits repeatedly bum notes, have a listen to The Beatles' 'Long & Winding Road.' [/quote] *shudder*

Listen to this from about 1m10s. When it shifts into the middle eight, it goes minor, but Duck cracks on with the usual line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGbj4u-6c0A Whaddya fink? Of course it's Duck, so I'm happy to accept that he's right, and everyone else is wrong :-)

Sounds OK to me..?

Those HB Teles are - IMO - pretty terrible, tonally. Whether the bridge pup is enough to rescue it is something you'll have to find out for yourself...

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1507728465' post='3387540'] I'd play / buy one happily and just call it a limelight , my questions more along the lines of aren't Limelight risking a lawsuit or do they have this covered somehow ? [/quote] I guess they are, but I also assume they know how to stay above the water.

I imagine people play them, like them, and when they're asked about it take mischievous pride in saying 'It's not actually a real Fender...' Some people out there might not agree with the principle, but that's between them and their wallet.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1507133966' post='3383556'] Nobody mention the Accugroove debacle regarding the TRI210L.. [/quote] Yeah... no doubt this is a different thing entirely, but any future attempt at this was bound to be tarnished by the stench of the Accuswitch.

Beautiful! But yeah, with that board & logo, it’s more early 70s than ‘62 :-)

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1507569396' post='3386411'] Really? You've not mentioned it [/quote] Oh, you hadn't heard? In that case I shall endeavour to mention it more...

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1507566717' post='3386393'] I seem to recall molan (of this parish) remarking that the TH500 used the same Class D power stage as the allegedly 900W Streamliner! [/quote] The modules in pretty much all these amps are much of a muchness, just with tweaks here and there. I realised I didn't like the core behaviour, so I bailed on them a while ago.

Is there a possibility that he's just not cut out for this music lark?

More flats fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObRuRxFNxGY

Me too. It's a terrible name, though. It reminds me the autobiography of that hairy beardy bloke.

'Tis indeed a B...

Bravewood charge a fortune for body relic'ing like that.

Rounds back on again... it's a beaut :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STr8CN1ExzE

Amazed that didn't go, TBH.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1506788865' post='3381153'] Yes, lightweight tuners. Interesting observation about the bridge, Si. Anyone else had this issue? [/quote]. Hipshot B bridges on mine. Well worth the premium.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1506724020' post='3380775'] It went this afternoon. [/quote] Oh really...? *raises eyebrow*

TbH, it's Gumtree, so it's aimed at local buyers. If i were local, I'd be banging on his door, ropy pics or no.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1506601382' post='3379846'] Word to the wise: You might want to consider skipping "I think I'm going bald" [/quote] Funnily enough, the last time I listened to that I probably had hair.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1506590019' post='3379719'] The remix of Vapour Trails is so much better than the original. I used to really dislike that album, but the remixed version revealed the quality in a lot of those songs. Well worth a few quid on Amazon if you don't have it. [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vapor-Trails-Remixed-Rush/dp/B00E9P959O/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1506590042&sr=1-1&keywords=rush+vapour+trails"]http://www.amazon.c...h+vapour+trails[/url] Now I just wish they'd to the same with Snakes and Arrows and (particularly) Clockwork Angels... [/quote] Yep - the VT remix is a million times better. I don't get the adulation for Clockwork Angels. There's a few good tunes on it, but the arrangements are generic RAWK, and the production is lifeless. Where are the great performances? The real standout instrumental breaks? Maybe they're buried under the kitchen sink, but I don't hear any. IMO Rush's best tunes were written and refined when they were working as a band, not when they're - literally - being conducted by the producer. Rant over :-)

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1506588932' post='3379703'] No. I'm a [i][b]bigger[/b][/i] fan. [/quote] Drat. That didn't work. But the writing is SO HUGE our tiny human minds can't comprehend it.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1506588313' post='3379694'] Maybe, but I'm a [i][b][size=8]bigger[/size][/b][/i] fan than you... [/quote] No. I'm a [i][b][size=10]bigger[/size][/b][/i] fan.
