Machines

Looks like a beauty. Can't beat a good Stingray - I regret selling mine most days, but life goes on ! They are indeed quite simple, but very well built.

Not sure if you've already seen this EBS_freak: [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:tech:use_of_composites_graphite_necks_in_bass_guitar_design"]http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:tech:use_o...s_guitar_design[/url]

Hi Tom .

Hi Sam where in Walsall are you ? I'm not far away and sample the joys of the Saddlers Centre most weekends !

I'm not going to lock this thread for now, but will request that members here do not cause disruption on the EB forum as the last thing we want is to be labelled as a forum of troublemakers. The topic should remain factual and avoid personal attacks.

[quote name='flyfisher' post='929241' date='Aug 18 2010, 11:43 PM']Just out of interest, how can anyone be sure that someone has two accounts? I know IP addresses are often used but they are not particularly reliable as few people get fixed IP adresses from their ISP and a dynamic IP address can be easily changed - and, indeed, re-issued to someone else. Also, IP tracking is not much use if people have access to more than one PC (on a different router, obviously), e.g. work and home. Just curious.[/quote] Shonks explanation was deemed to be a flat out lie, something we have since proven (via the 2nd email address) and he has not felt the need to dispute. IP addresses are indeed dynamic, but let's be realistic about this. In this case the IP's were used within minutes/hours of each other. IP's usually get a 24 hour lease - so it's not going to be given elsewhere in that time (router would have to be powered off remember). Also, what are the chances that the person who happens to get the first IP, has the same ISP, lives within 1-2 miles of original poster, plays bass and has registered on this forum ?

Genuine question EBS_freak - how do you believe they are ?

Correct Stan, only the 2nd account was suspended. The original was notified.

Would love to see some pics of the view down the mountain.. here would be fine as it's basically your thread to do as you wish .

Yes and no. There are some brands that I look down my nose at, but they aren't necessarily cheap brands, there some are high priced ones I wouldn't want for free.

Looks like our humour eradication scheme is going well, excellent !

Man do I love the taste of puppies in the morning.

I can only echo everyone else's sentiment so far. He was one of, if not the biggest contributor to the forum and his knowledge and helpfulness will be missed greatly.

That looks pretty damned good. I'm sanding my Yamaha down after a failed respray attempt (lacquer crazed) and am looking for inspiration. A burst type finish like this would look pretty snazzy.

[quote name='paul h' post='925680' date='Aug 15 2010, 04:34 PM']However, IMHO none of that excuses rudeness, especially in a conversation between what is essentially a retailer a customer. Plenty of people do great things for charity and manage not to be complete nobs at the same time.[/quote] This is the issue I have personally, he seems to have disassociated himself from customer service by thinking it has to be sacrificed to protect the brand.

Hi Pete, welcome to the forum.

Nicky Wire - The Manic Street Preachers. He is very stiff and his playing very predictable - it may be sufficient for the music but if it were me, i'd want to improve myself.

I had a '96 Ray that was like that, pole edges were quite sharp ! I think you only option is dropping the pickup height itself.
