[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='887629' date='Jul 6 2010, 06:37 PM']Bah! - got to be the real thing. Cheapies don't compare as they have the same old plastic lenses instead of B&L glass in them. My current pair is still as good as new & have lasted ten years so far. I know how old they are as I bought them from the sunglass hut in the World Trade Centre when I was sent on an all-expenses paid fools-errand to New York in 2000.[/quote]
Well sure, I'd love the real thing. But I can't afford the real thing
Added to which, there's no way I'd take a pair of real Raybans anywhere near a Destroyers stage

i always go for the classics...


if i could find a trilby to fit my huge head then i'd have to be the fat one [/quote]
Tesco, of all people, are doing some very nice classic Wayfarer-copy shades for a fiver.

I already have several gig-hats... but I gotta say, I am rrrrrrreally tempted by that Christy rude-boy trilby...

Bassforte? Yes, and bass for breakfast and bass for dinner too.
Sorry.

[quote name='mcgraham' post='886145' date='Jul 5 2010, 11:05 AM']dr1, love the video, really grooveworthy, but I think faithless is being quite fair. He didn't try to give advice, just pointed out what the thread was about. I read faithless' post as just voicing a friendly concern so as to try and avoid this thread ending up as another heated debate between members who like discussing avantgarde playing/players, and members who think bass is all about the groove (which I wholeheartedly agree with!).[/quote]
I agree entirely. There was no need to jump down Faithless' throat, his comment was perfectly reasonable.

mcgraham is right, the last thing we need is [i]yet another[/i] "it's just fretw*nking / no it's not / yes it is" thread, we have dozens of them already. Some of us like contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, fusion and so on, and it'd be nice to be able to discuss it occasionally without constantly being told that we like sh*t music. Is this really too much to ask?

Excellent. I did keep a sort of CV with one band but nothing remotely that detailed. Although I have kept a set list from nearly all my Destroyers gigs

I'd have been tempted to use a left-handed neck for the lower one, so the tuners didn't get too close to the headstock of the upper neck. Still, this is a fascinating (and very different) project and I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

[quote name='Faithless' post='884696' date='Jul 3 2010, 11:48 AM']Wayne, any chance to explain, what the heck does this mean?[/quote]
It's been a whole page since Wayne last reminded us that he doesn't like this sort of stuff, and I think he's worried that we've forgotten.

5 minutes in, you'll be kicking yourself for not doing this 20 years ago
Best of luck and have a great time!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='883941' date='Jul 2 2010, 01:31 PM']headline band turned up an hour and a half late for the sound check[/quote]

Did they have an excuse, or could they just not be arsed to turn up on time?

My old fretless Jaydee Roadie had/has an unfinished ebony board... in the 20-ish years I owned it, I never did anything to it other than polish it occasionally. Absolutely no cracking and very little marking even, despite the fact that I always used roundwounds. It's brilliant stuff.

Having said that I was definitely up for this, it turns out that I can't make it. I've had to rearrange a couple of my weekends with the kids, and as a result 10th/11th is now one of them. I'm really sorry about this, I was looking forward to coming along and bringing the Shuker/Wal/Genz/Nemesis lurrve
Hope you guys have a great time, and a million thanks to you John for all your organisational work.
Gutted.

Don't worry Dave, if Si started disappearing up his own butt, his missus would soon bring him back down to earth she's great

I do a lot of BVs with my other band and it's great, I really enjoy it. The one thing I still cannot do though is [i]talk[/i] and play... we do the band intros during one of the songs, and when I introduce the singer I have to stop playing and it sounds a bit daft.

CK, if memory serves me correctly you had a Groove 5 at one time..?

Cracking stuff! I particularly like the way the keys player just wouldn't shut up
I'm going to have to track down some of these guys' work.

Eek. No thanks, I'd rather listen to a Manowar CD

This Thread Is Meaningless Without Pics

I have a wood Series 1, one of the supposed 'thru neck' ones (it's actually a glued set neck).

[quote name='Hutton' post='879520' date='Jun 28 2010, 08:48 AM']Not that I agree with you Bilbo but when did nostalgia neccessarily become a bad thing?[/quote]
Well, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

You got that for 6?? Fackin bargain!

Major, have you ever thought about putting this stuff in a book?

If there was an amp: my Shuke 5
No amp: Tanglewood acoustic
In an ideal world: I'd get Mr.Shuker to make me a 6-string before I went

I've got two Klotz leads which I've had for nearly 24 years and are still going strong. They appear to be indestructible
If it was me I'd buy the bits and make my own (I do for patch cables), but for off-the-peg leads I'd go for OBBM or Klotz.

Sorry, and surprised, to hear about that... like escholl, I've had dealings with GPR in the past and they've been great. This does seem quite out of character, hopefully if you take it further you'll get a more measured response.
+1 for chguitars on fleaBay. They are excellent.
