  1. Presumably he's a great drummer, but he just seems to feel it completely differently to Phil. I find it jarring...
  2. I’ve got used to Nad... a little bit. I’m surprised SH stuck with him for so long.
  3. All the more reason to go, IMO. Mind, I just can’t get away with his new drummer. He’s like the anti-Collins.
  4. Nah, it's just a montage of bits. I'm not drawing too much from it, other than the presence of the BVs.
  5. .....aaaand rescheduled again to September. In the meantime, they've put out a little video. Backing vocals....??
  6. Replacement neck from Status, maybe?
  7. God knows when I'll get to gig this, so for now it's just clips on YouTube 😞
  8. That’s just a flame-top Aerodyne, is it not..?
  9. I mean... if it really floats your boat, you can similarly-spec this for about £1300 from Maruszczyk. ..and if you ask nicely, I'm sure they'll dial down the Trumpiness of the vintage tint.
  10. I feel sorry for the poor copywriter in their marketing department who has to repeatedly concoct something other than 'It's another Precision' every time one of these is released. The thing is, I get that it's Fender and they can't stray too far from the formula, but why do come up with variants that are either hideous or dull?
  11. Truth is, it's a gamble whatever you buy. Some basses are great, some aren't.
  12. ...or a particular type of lampshade I used to own, which when heated too much by the bulb absolutely stank like a sweating kipper. It took us months to work out where it was coming from.
  13. Oh, and this one...
  14. Always liked this, too.
  15. Surely we’ve done this one already....?
  16. ..apart from the lyrics and the melody. Mind, I agree with you re: changing a song beyond all recognition. What's the point? Just write your own.
  17. Wow... that's great. Thanks for sharing.
  18. I measure a business by what it does to put things right when things go wrong. I don’t think they really got a chance in this instance.
  19. ...but a pretty big one. They wouldn't move there if it was less cost-effective, would they? Not a chestnut you'll hear from me. But I do believe QC can suffer (*points finger at parent company*).
  20. In addition, cheap local raw materials. Cheaper infrastructure. Cheaper loads of other stuff, probably.
  21. Are you being serious? Why do you think Fender etc. shipped manufacturing to the Far East..?
  22. Yeah, have to say despite my anodised comment above, I'd be sticking with white if it were me.
  23. Yep, just like that.
  24. Years ago I had a special edition '57RI Precision in Inca Silver, with an anodised gold guard. It looked totally sweet. I wish I'd kept it. Or taken a photo of it, even.
