Some of you may know i'm a big Gotye fan. It's fair to say his big hit opened the door for me but most of his other stuff is better and that is a great pop song. Anyhow he is also a drummer and singer in a rock band called The Basics. It's pretty rocking! [media]http://youtu.be/bnDf9zLiUII[/media]

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1376851502' post='2179982'] Well, at the top of the forum you'll find a thread confirming that items under £50 can be listed for free If people have feedback, then make sure you drop Kiwi and Ped a PM with your thoughts. [/quote] Respect!

what if you are selling something you don't expect much for? say old pickups for about £20. do you still have to pay £7. Seems Steep!

I used to run pubs for Mitchells and Butler. It's a huge job. I was running pubs that took £25000 a week. With staff lists of over 30 people. It would take a long time to fully expalin running a successful pub. The simple answer is they don't just make money on a friday and saturday. If the pub is not doing so well on those times they will spend money in the hope of making money!

Had a bash with the heat gun. Did all the sides and cutaways. See what you mean about it being a bit off a ball ache. I will do the top and bottom later in the week. I'll post pics of the lovely chunk of plywood when it's had the dings filled and sanded.

These were my fave tunes http://youtu.be/SIvMAeExvig http://youtu.be/X8HKli_KKHE

Absolutely amazing band. Grey lantern is almost the perfect album just didn't need Tax loss. Six was a good album too. Didn't think there was anything that i'd consider prog on it!

Bought a heat gun earlier. I'll have a go tomorrow.

I gave up on stripping the finish ('cos what lay beneath turned out to be MDF!), but the thread contains some great advice from folks on here about removing poly finishes and such like: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196051-how-easy-is-it-to-remove-a-polyresin-finish-update-project-finished-photos-added/"]http://basschat.co.u...d-photos-added/[/url] Keep us posted on how you get on with it...

Just sanded the headstock. Took me about an hour. So i think i'll get a heat gun tomorrow to do the body.

There's a great book on theory by Stravinsky's nemesis...Schoenberg. It's on the large side!

[quote name='Oscar South' timestamp='1375965943' post='2167985'] I remember trying to be a smart arse in music theory classes trying to correct the tutors analysis of Bach chorales.. I must have been such an annoying student! [/quote] I wasn't trying to be a smart arse........I was a smart arse!

Jumping the gun a bit here but i'm getting a new bridge for this. it has more holes for screws for mounting it to the body. Will i have to fill the old holes in the body then put it in the same place or place it a few mm's behind? What's the best stuff to fill the holes?

He was alright old claude but i much prefered my mate Igor. Nearly everything i wrote at uni was about him. It was so aggresive and i loved how he'd write things in two keys at he same time to create a superkey.

I used to be well into all this. I did Contemporary Classical (for want of a better word) as part of my degree. I'll always remember Debussy cos whilst our lecturer was explaining a certain passage in 'The girl with The flaxen hair' and a certain magical chord, a friend and i was discussing it too. She stopped the class and said " Mr Walker would you like to share you conversation with the rest of the class" So i said ok and explained how she was wrong about what a certain chord was and it's functionality. I forget what the chord was now but it was essentially stacked in fourths or something with a 7th at the bottom. My friend and i came from a jazz(ish) background a were complete theory nerds so had a better grasp of large chords, scales modes etc. To say she wasn't impressed is putting it lightly. She never asked me anything again.

This is no help but i find the floating thumb more natural than resting on a pick up. Maybe cos i started off playing with a pick.

But seriously I'd say supporting Tim Booth and The Music about ten yrs ago. Recently doing this tour and retaining my place for the upcoming tours, especially as i feel i didn't play that great due to not playing for months before due to hand dermatitis, which has recently turned into full blown eczema, so i'm now fighting that.

As i said in another thread i once managed nine w***s whilst watchin Basic Instinct when i was 14.

Thanks for all the advice so far by the way!

Well i've already a sander on order cos i need one anyway. If i have no joy, i get paid on Thursday, there are a few heat guns on amazon at a reduced price so i'll order one then.

Nitro mors has had no effect, so its Poly. Time to get a sander. Ordering a B&D mouse, Detail hand sander.

What i love is how he says he hate people who say i like rocky/ funk y etc. then at the end lists his likes. Class!

Def. I love Duff! G'n'R was the first band i was ever massively into when i was a kid. the following is the reason why i started playing bass. http://youtu.be/6IamlIGPNCU That riff and sound just blew me away. Still love it. Menacing as f***!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1375301609' post='2159569'] Yes. I tend to use a stranded cable rather than a single core, as the stranded cables are more flexible. Other than that it doesn't matter too much. [/quote] nice one!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1375300594' post='2159555'] Yes, disappointing isn't it when you're expecting a nice piece of alder, or swamp ash and you get this lump of ply. But hey, what do you expect for £23? But you knew this. 1)The foam is there to give springiness to the pups, so the screws push against the foam and you have the pups stable at a given height. If your foam looks knacked you can replace this with a strip cut from an old foam mouse mat. 2) No, you won't get wires with the pots. You MIGHT get a capacitor with them. I did when I bought Fender pots, but normally the pot itself is what you get. I normally replace the wires. You can buy a meter or 2 from Maplin. For the jack, I was advised to get a stereo one. You don't need the middle terminal, but it gives better stability, so I was told. [/quote] Sound, i will be buying Fender pots. What about the wire that goes thru the body to the bridge, can that be the same type as what you wire up the pots with?
