They aren't doing themselves any favours by adding the blingy sparkles into the pics. The product itself seems ok. Presumably you just put one on... but it looks that unlike standard thumbrests you'd have to know precisely where your thumb goes when you're playing. How much are they? Not as cheap as they look I'll bet.

One of the benefits of the Common Market.

I don't usually slacken the strings either but give the neck a helpful nudge (bend) either direction on each adjustment.

Slowly, slowly catchy monkey

You are safe to turn the wheel as much as you want either way (*in theory). One way it will eventually stop and the other it will fall off. What you don't want to do is use force. *The more you take it out of true though the more rests and readjusts you will have to do to put it back.

[quote name='Shaggy' post='1156761' date='Mar 10 2011, 03:53 PM']Seriously cool - I used to have the guitar version of the white one, with 3 p/ups and the [b]on-bard[/b] active boost/FX[/quote] You probably have to be Scottish to get this. edit - Pants! It took so long to find the pic you'd already corrected it.

[quote name='Beedster' post='1156472' date='Mar 10 2011, 12:25 PM']I did a deal with a well known (and well respected) music business guy a few years back, and he told me an absolute horror story about how he was scammed on ebay. An item he sold was 'damaged' in post, but the item that came back from the buyer was not the same item. Ebay didn't believe him though, and found for the buyer. He blocked the Paypal refund via his bank, so Paypal pursued him via solicitors to the point where he was advised to settle or face substantial legal fees to defend the case. He eventually had to write Paypal a very large cheque. And he couldn't even leave negative feedback for the buyer![/quote] That sucks ass.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1156394' date='Mar 10 2011, 11:11 AM']Just PM'd you bud… Just making sure it gets looked at ASAP and not lost amongst the 900,000 posts that will appear in Off Topic today. Shep[/quote] Haha - PM'd back. Thanks but I just wanted to find out the scale of the issue (if any) before reporting it as such.

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='1156363' date='Mar 10 2011, 10:53 AM']look what i picked up yesterday, complete with the most evil bridge man has ever made cimar jazz bass 1908ash model.[/quote] How is it? My first guitar was a Cimar (still have most of it lying about here somewhere awaiting a revamp ) it was ropey at best.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1156357' date='Mar 10 2011, 10:50 AM']Also, just because a thread has "forgotten" my subscription once, it doesn't seem to necessarily mean that it's forgotten it for all time. Quite often, a visit to BC resets the notification-love from these errant threads and they behave again.[/quote] Yeah that's true but days may pass before it finally remembers me - by which time the topic has gone cold.

Oi mods why the shift to this deserted wasteland where no one will see it? I'm not reporting a problem. I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this phenomena. Cheers BE. I can't see any common denominators with mine, it all seems quite random.

I've noticed over the years that (now and again) some threads that I was subscribed to didn't automatically notify me of new posts despite the subscription. But it was only occasionally - lately it's gotten a lot worse. I estimate up to a 1/4 of my subscribed threads aren't notifying me. It's got to the point now that I've started keeping shortcuts to "important" () threads on my desktop so I can check them manually. Is this happening to anyone else?

Aye, no worries.

Yep perfect. Have you managed to ascertain if the pics he sent you are genuine?

I doubt it will. Compound works on a microscopic level. It may help with some of the opaqueness of the scrape. Some say to use t-cut, which is fine if that's all you can get. I've never used it myself (except on motorbike tanks) but use a finer product scored from a car bodyshop mate of mine. If I can find a wee container I'll send you a blob of the stuff I use and you can have a crack at it.

If you can feel it with your nail then you will have to sand it back (1000 grade) but the good news is that if you can't feel it with your nail then a cutting compound and a bit of elbow grease should see it off.
