True, up to the point where one's conscience kicks in, regarding ethics and societal notions. Greed is greed, however it's expressed.

In any film of the Stones 'Butterfly' free concert, Hyde Park, I, and some friends, were part of the umpteen-thousand spectators, up until 'Sympathy for the Devil', when we left.

I take this as being just a cheap, facetious shot decrying the very real effect of instrument components with regard to their sonic output. Not worthy of you; I'm disappointed. ...

Yes, as is the shape of the tuning pegs and the strap button by acoustic reflection, and to much the same degree. Some bats can hear the difference if there's no wind.

Odd that the spec mentions 'Acoustic' as 'No', though.

@lurksalot @Skol303 and any other kind souls : Would anyone care to post a Trumpet Call to see about getting a few more votes in..? I'm still not at my best , and dread the thought of having to do a Certificate for all the current 'joint winners', even if there was space enough on an A4 sheet..! Just a thought, hopefully whilst there's still time. Thanks in advance (trusting that further votes don't bring everyone up to the Pole Position, in which case I'm well and truly sunk..! Thanks in advance.

Good evening, KN, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I'm liking the thought that many of the posters here, having experienced some very, very loud gigs, maybe several times, are yet still able to discern the subtle differences between bass body tone-woods. ...

Good evening, John, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

No, no; she should keep her lovely piano, and play it as often as possible, either for quieter stuff, special occasions or when the neighbours are out (or invited in for a cocktail evening, hint hint..?). The lecky joanna would be for the more robust repertoire, scales, practising, late night romps. There must be room for another keyboard, Shirley..?

If it's not too late (ie: house already bought...); I'd suggest that sorting out your future neighbour's point of view on the matter as being critical, and potentially a show-stopper. If it's certain that there'll be no agro, all well and good, including any internal work, improvements or concessions you, as a couple, are willing to make (headphones, electric keys etc...). If there's a doubt, carefully consider the implications of having an irate neighbour for a number of years. If it is already too late, Good Luck; you may need it. I play drums; our remote cottage as a choice of residence was not a coincidence.

An unknown quantity at time of purchase (1967...), and much more sobre than others here, it seems. No regrets; I've bought it, and worn it out, several times since...

All of it..?

Good afternoon, JB , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

You want dance..? We got dance, with not good, but great tunes ...

Again... It's one of my staples.

Good evening, Tim, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

What..? You don't know..? You don't know what sticks your drummer uses, and why..? You're not on speaking terms or what..? What kind of bassist has no interest in his partner in crime to that extent..? I'm surprised, shocked, and saddened. Yes, saddened that such a potential for fine complicit teamwork be compromised by such a cavalier attitude. Time to wake up, in the interests of making Good Music together..! ...

I wouldn't thank you much for sticks like that, either. I don't hit hard, but every pair I had broke. Not a fan.

The Laws are made by the democratically-elected Government, chosen by The People, who, it would seem, want stuff like this to continue.

I've a bag of Hofner picks, kindly donated by Hofner when I organised the First French (Hofner...) Bash a few years ago now. Many were distributed to attendees, but I've a lot left over. I don't use 'em much; I'm a drummer.
