  1. Past hour
  2. Got a message from my contact at the Tampereen Musiikki guitar store that they shipped my new Sandberg a couple of days ago, so now I will be furiously clicking the refresh button on the tracking page until it arrives (shipped from Finland to Norway, so I probably won't see it until at least the end of next week). 35" VM5 in Virgin White with a rosewood board. Not a superlight, but still only weighing in at 3.7kg (8.15 lbs). Should be a good one.
  3. Was flicking through Mick Rock's book 'Iggy & The Stooges- Raw Power' last night and was curious to find this pic of Ron Asheton with a Precision/Jazz hybrid. Most live pics of him in his bassist days show him using a Guild Jetstar but this must have been a neck and body thrown together from different instruments. I don't think Fender were in the hybrid game during 1972 but I could be wrong.
  4. Patches - Chairmen of the Board
  5. You just know a bunch of us are going to receive these once secret Santa gets going.
  6. Today
  7. Since I live on my own and have always done so since leaving home forty-odd years ago, I have often bought myself something 'significant' for the solstitial festivities. Back in 1982 it was Linn Sondek, which is still here sitting in the lounge.
  8. Damping absorbs midrange frequencies that will otherwise reflect back to the cone at various angles of phase, causing response peaks and valleys. The back is the critical place to apply it, but for best results all the surfaces should be covered. It may not make a major difference, but it's so inexpensive there's no reason to not do so.
  9. ok i briefly have the whole lot out of storage together so i took a quick pic! ...so rare to have them all in one room these days on account of the wife..
  10. Fixing A Hole - Beatles
  11. I have two Sabre Classic pickguards for sale. These are for the 2013-2016 reissues. Not sure whether they will fit a pre EB or 80's EB Sabre. Blue abalone, ordered from Armstrong guitars. I think this was on the cusp of them stopping using WD as there was a delay in getting it when they switched supplier Blue mirror is from Pickguards.com/WD Both have a bit of playwear but perfectly usable £35 the pair + postage

  12. Sounds great, but damn does that pickguard piss me off.
  13. Selecting a width displays the off the roll per metre price. Seemed pretty reasonable at 2.59 quid for the 54" wide.
  14. Grease Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters
  15. Yay!
  16. The £500 now includes shipping if theres any takers
  17. Yesterday
  18. The secret sauce of a Spector is the Haz preamp..... and that needs to be boosted to bring out the wonderful harmonic overtones....
  19. I only look at FB on a desktop browser using FB Purity.
  20. Actually it has a Neve preamp, rather than the Darkglass..... and sounds much better as a result.
  21. Bass Mekanik – Bass Mechanic
  22. Canadian price. I'm guessing it's even worse in Australia.
  23. What like literally 36v or split +-18v?
  24. Well, that was a very unsatisfactory experience. D minor, I played wrongly. Wrong notes in two of the pieces. My singing was off-key. Terrible. However I already have the Grade 3 pieces, and am playing them already. So, I have not let the bad experience put me off. However, I plan to do things differently for the next few months, and don't plan to focus on the exams for a while.
  25. Aaaargh! I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram......or should I ? 🤔🤣
