I had a Skyyline 55-02 once and didn't think much of it. Beautiful finish, but dull (sounding, playing) neck, polite (boring) preamp. Meh. I'd love to try a Lakland P as good as my '71 Fender P....now that I'd buy . I would really fancy a Skyline Decade 30", but I emailed Lakland and there's no plans Si

As Steve has had a prolific and quite often artistically successful solo career I can understand him being a little peeved about the final edit, which seemed to imply that he just wandered off into the sunset some time in the 70s, never to be seen or heard again until now. While commercially not up there with PC's, PG's or even MR's, It could be argued that Steve Hackett has had a far more successful solo career than Tony Banks, with several top 30 albums and a few even getting into the top 20. Despite Mr Banks claiming that his first solo album made the top 20, the accompanying visual said otherwise...yet his solo career got quite a bit more air time than Mr Hackett's (not hard as Steve's got zero coverage). Seemed a bit odd to me to have not mentioned it at all, especially as Steve was the first one to record a solo album (which actually caused a bit of resentment within the Genesis machine, despite two of them appearing on it). The conversations with the five of them in the room were very interesting though, especially some of the looks and body language. Even Mrs S clocked some of the stuff that wasn't said (verbally at least). Would have liked to see more of those discussions and less prattling, mainly from non-entities with little of consequence to say. I don't need someone who probably doesn't even really know that much about the band to help me understand - just show me the story, let the band talk and I can make up my own mind - but such is the nature of these types of programmes. Good idea, dreadfully executed. [/quote] I largely agree with this. I generally enjoyed the program, but why the hell do I need to hear Al Murray talking about Genesis? Si

I would assume its intentional, his other P builds are the same on the website. Just wondered if it was just an aesthetic thing, or there's science behind it Si

What's the thinking behind more of a space between the two halves of the pickup? Si

You know this build?....... .....Still waiting for the body from the builder Si

I owned the older Mini 48 & 15 cabs before they introduced the Neo ranges, and to be honest, the only real issue I had with them is that they was rear ported. Now they've sorted that out and front-ported them, I think it would be a pretty killer cab! Si

Would love to hear the Bass Rangie and see the schem too if you have it available? Cheers Si

Just hire a rehearsal studio with a low ceiling and take a ton of weird lamps with you.....worked for us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK8uinmNqhQ Si

Try tuning via the Harmonic on the 12th fret Si

I've used a couple (1 running, 1 spare) of Little Mark 2s for the last 2 or 3 years. Absolutely brilliant amps, can't imagine using anything else at the mo. Had a brief affair with a Genz Benz Streamline 900 somewhere in that timeline.....horrible thing, not one useable sound for me. Back to the MB, more tone and almost seemed like more volume (although that was probably just tonal perception). If one died, I'd find another, or possibly a LM3 if its the same design. Si

[quote name='Jimmi Clarke' timestamp='1410707166' post='2552145'] Very Sad!!! It's always good to honour great people and Lincoln was a really great bass player. I knew him from being the bass player in Reg Webbs jazz/fusion band 'The 3 B's'. I saw him play a few times, the last time was around a year ago. He had a great sound and feel and I always considered him as a real musical bass player who effortlessly played and improvised over some really difficult tunes. They have and album called blind, black and breathless which was made in the late 90's. Check out his bass playing on it, it's really good!! He really inspired me as a bass player. Just wish I had told him while he was still here. [/quote] Yes I still have my Blind, Black & Breathless album, its the CD that first introduced me to him. It was given to me by my A-level Music teacher as the drummer (ex- Suzi Quattro, the 'Breathless' part of the trio due to him being a chronic asthmatic) was teaching some lessons at my school, and Lincoln was considered to give me some bass lessons. I'll see if I can get some tunes from the album up as I'm sure the CD is way out of print now. *Edit* - There seems to be a few used copies on Amazon Cheers Si

Sorry, forgot to write the time, it's 11am. See you there Ness Si

I can confirm that the Aux input on the Enabler does not output through either the Jack output or the XLR, just the headphone out. I love my Enabler, one of the best purchases I've ever made, and it sounds goooood! Si
