  1. We call that a bitch bass in the trade. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you how your pickups sound in a [i]good[/i] bass. Original sale.
  2. Oh if only fodera made guitars this good.
  3. Hey. The years do like to fly by.
  4. Pie and chips (with ketchup). whilst pouring your pint into a plug socket.
  5. Teles have got to be as far removed from acoustics as possible. If he's willing to make that change why not go the whole hog and put some electric guitar strings on it? Strings tend to last me as long as their lifespan. He must be have a funny technique that needs looking at.
  6. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1341871324' post='1725573'] I'm sure we all know about this stuff, but we can't be reminded enough! I carry one of these in my gig bag and use it before plugging into unfamiliar mains sockets: [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/mains-socket-tester-9800"]http://www.maplin.co...ket-tester-9800[/url] I also also plug in all my gear via a plug-in RCD - something like this: [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/safety-breaker-29769"]http://www.maplin.co...y-breaker-29769[/url] [/quote] Wheres your sense of adventure? and no, i definately mean pack test I need to start remembering to bring my lead first
  7. Holy sh*t. Les might want one I suppose.
  8. Saddles too high? Lighter guage! Who the hell uses 11's? The hulk?
  9. If you find a bad earth what do you do? Pack test the whole building before you play?
  10. The exact same thing happened while i was working at dmu. Young bloke, pissed up, goes missing, turns up in canal. I was gonna ask if there was any canals nearby. Weird. Never walk by unfenced canals after you've had too many.
  11. Thanks rubis. fingerboards ready for glue.
  12. Happens all the time. We only hear of the odd one. Theres a missing persons list as long as your arm.
  13. Always glad to help when I can.
  14. I'd say the spikey heels are for a space chick.
  15. Ha ha. Do you do any leg work yourself? Dont know.
  16. Aah. Looks all lonely.
  17. Another great bass website I've been waiting for for a while. Along with Janek Gwizdala, this should be a great source of bass knowhow. [url="http://tonygrey.com/"]http://tonygrey.com/[/url]
  18. Frets on? Razor blade!!!!!!!! One of the old fashioned uns from the chemist. Then 0000 wirewool, dry. You can clean the wool in spirits first. edit:definately not a gillette mach III. Although they do keep shaving for months without changing the blade. I know!
  19. Tonetech and craft supplies are usually my first port of call for this kinda thing.
  20. Fodera. Gotta love em. That is one of the strangest looking heels i ever saw. Bolt on? Looks like a weird set neck. Very interesting. Can we have some pics of the back please.
  21. There is no such thing as an active pickup. There are pickups which are designed to be used with an active preamp, and have less wire on the coil so as not to be too hot. There are pickups which are active but they just have the preamp built in to the pickup.
  22. Nail polish is actually nitrocellulose laquer.
  23. Just an idea. That's how my band does it. We use a midi drumkit too which makes life simple and we get some amazing quality recordings from it. A four track could be used as a mixer too.
