  3. IMO, generally, the things that appear in the Marketplace on BC are well priced. We are all gear-heads or we wouldn't be here, so we're savvy with not only what stuff tends to sell for, but also what kind of price someone would be willing to pay. I would really hope that no one takes the you-know-what with their pricing. Haggled marginally for things, knocking a bit off here and there, free postage etc. but generally buying and selling for a fair price.
  4. Mercy Mercy Me - Robert Palmer
  5. If you are palm muting, then the Hipshot is definitely the one to go for. The Babicz is great if you want to keep the look of the original bridge unit, but are having issues with the intonation of the original saddle piece. Definitely keeping hold of the Hipshot though, I have other plans for that.
  6. Was lucky enough to pick up a Babicz replacement bridge on here a while back, and finally got around to fitting it to my other Ric (replacing the Hipshot I also bought from here). It was a bit of a faff, as the saddles needed to come off to fit the saddle plate, and then getting the saddles back in and adjusted, but once in and re-strung, intonation is spot on, and the string height is lower than it was with the Hipshot.
  7. Rickysounds is usually the best place to try. Bought a couple of chrome ones from them.

  14. Definitely try some different Stainless Steel rounds, Warwick Red Steels are a great, low cost option, and they do last. Used them for a while. At the moment, I'm using D'Addario Pro Steels on the Ric, as they just sound so much better than anything else I've tried on it. Dunlop Steels are good, Elites Stadium Steels are good. All depends on your budget. Try a few different sets and find some you like.
  15. This Town Aint Big Enough for the Both of Us - Sparks
  16. Superb bit of kit IMO, The power of Helix, but without the feeling that it has features that you'll never use. GLWTS.

  22. Danger! High Voltage - Electric Six
  23. Thanks to platforms like Spotify, it's almost made music a commodity, everyone seems to take it for granted, and very few people appear to be unwilling to put their hands in their pockets to support the bands and artists, buying band merch direct. It's great for large, known bands who get thousands of hits, but smaller bands and artists, getting hits is dependent on your promotion.
