OK OK. I finish work in a couple of hours and will take a couple of piccies then

I've just had one of my two Patrick Eggle Milan V's painted metallic lime green (it was originally plain wood finish. Then Andyjr stained it green and finished it in danish oil but when I saw the metallic lime I had to have that, so it was primed, painted and lacquered (as thin as it could be done) and looks extremely 'lush'. Go for it.

Hoping I can still make it but there is a ? Whether I can now

I'm the same with anything Fender shaped. I've tried various versions from cheapo to bl**dy expensive. I just can't get along with any of them. horses for courses

Hoping to come along with my 5 string DB - Can someone can show me how to play the bl**dy thing

Totally agree. I play 5's now and spend most of my time around the 5th - 8th fret. Makes life so much easier.

I was at the South of England Show and mercury custom fitted ear plugs were there (I've seen them elsewhere too). £110 custom fitted -I had 17db filter, but you can change that anytime you want for another £15 (or £25 - I can't remember). I wear them all the time now. I had flare audio but they cut out all the guitarist (I know, usually a good thing, but not when you can't hear them at all). The best £110 I've spent in ages

Just bought Tom's iphone. Great communication and speedy post. Many thanks

I bought a hercules for my 5 string and it wouldn't accept the pin fully out, so I had to get the drill out and adapt it. OK, I'm tall and the pin is fully out, but the bass is standard size so I was slightly disappointed with the stand.

I've seen a couple of double bass ebony boards going for sale on eBay for less than £100. Would it be worth looking at getting one of them fitted?

Just bought a camera from Mike. Great communication and speedy posting. Great guy

Welcome from someone with dual UK/Aus nationality (we still can't decide if we want to move to Aus or stay here in the UK. Think we've probably left it too long now, but my god mother is in East Malvern, Melbourne, so I'll be near your neck of the woods when we visit next year). Hopefully you'll get everything you need, and a whole lot you don't, from here

I had a brand new Rumble 500 that lasted less than 5 minutes before it stopped working. Straight back to GAK and had a full refund.
