  1. I used a Stew Mac crowning file that's curved on one face at both ends (looks like an elongated 'S'). A little costly, but does the job nicely without a struggle, which makes for a nice finish
  2. Exceptional condition
  3. There's so much to be said about Chuck Berry and an RIP thread where people pay their respects to the man perhaps isn't the best place, so here's a thread for discussion of the man and his influence on music Whatever people say about the way he lived his life, I've no doubt that music wouldn't be what it is today without Chuck Berry. Rock and Roll just wouldn't be what it is without him. Without a doubt, the song I've played most often on stage is Johnny B Goode, everyone knows it. Later edit; Chuck's songs have been on my mind all day. This is one I won't forget A truly sad day Over to you

  5. Where is £4000 when you need it ?
  6. Just bought Paul's SWR SM400 - been after one of these for ages. All quick and easy, everthing as you'd like it Cheers Paul ! Tom
  7. looks like a cross between a Burns and a Woolworths audition
  8. I recently found a Duracell professional in a bass that was new to me and also wondered what the difference was. I'll be following this thread with interest
  9. Ibanez 7 string ! https://youtu.be/6NjGX0c1tDs
  10. If only this came up a few months ago...
  11. Hi from Loughton !
  12. I'd love to have a play with that GLWTS
  13. Niiiiiiice
  14. I've just been given this for next weekend. Should have some fun trying to get that sound out of a P bass with a pick and walkabout scout
  15. Oh boy.. The Who The Spiders from Mars 10cc The Beatles The Beach Boys Queen The Motown house band
  16. My first genuine Fender Precision was a 72/73 Maple maple with a white scratchplate I'd buy it back in a heartbeat
  17. I've no idea why I keep looking at this georgeous amp
  18. Another vote for All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix. I know Comfortably Numb was voted as the greatest guitar solo, but Hendrix's work easily walks all over that for me
  19. Paul Weller (not the Jam) LP's. I just don't get it
  20. Try Surrey amps http://www.surreyamps.co.uk

  22. [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1484253087' post='3214118'] Revolver - The Beatles. I swear I could hear the start of Taxman, go for a (whatever is is....) 35 min walk and come back in with some 'It is not dying"-s in sync with the end of the album [/quote] This + Ziggy Stardust + Aladdin Sane
