It's funny, at the Moffat bashes there is hardly any slapage. The emphasis there seems to be on tone rather than technique.

I've got a bag of them in the freezer. Perhaps we could do some sort of a deal?

£245 for the Yammy I lost interest at £73.

Looks a wee bit of a mess - maybe a fixer upper - certainly not all he's making it out to be. Basicaly an original neck nailed to a non original body, the tuners don't fit and the p/g.... just NO . The only noticable "upgrade" I can see is the BA (but that's subjective) It's just jumped up £60 while I was typing this - will be fun to watch.

... and mine - one real and one home made. +1 to the Lollar.

Looking good man. How did the refret go? Have you decided on a colour?

Full on 95% of the time but roll back a notch for quieter passages, intros etc.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='658212' date='Nov 18 2009, 03:33 PM']That was my thought too. Something like a [b]Digitech JamMan [/b]maybe? Depends on musical style, whether it suits, etc.[/quote] There's one up for grabs in the F/S section right now. :brow:

[quote name='ahpook' post='658140' date='Nov 18 2009, 02:33 PM']what does that mean ? serious question.[/quote] Not much really, just that he was a full Motorcycle Club member. First you get your colours (MC emblem) then as time goes on and you prove allegiance your [s]gang[/s] club you get your top rocker (the curved patch above the emblem) then your bottom - it might be the other way round, I've forgotten. You aren't considered a full member until you have the full set. It's just a lot of tosh really but when I was a young prospector (on early probation) it meant the world.... then I grew up (a bit) and realised I'd prefer to be a more individual type dude. here's an example....

One of the most worst prepared bands I've seen was at a biker gig in Germany. They were all over the place but importantly kept going, the singer (and I use the term loosely) who had colours with rockers bellowed Danzig style "In a vite room, viss bleck curtains, at ze stay-shon" (I kid you not) and an uncomfortable looking girl on bass that could hardly play. But the atmosphere was great and it didn't matter! We all had a great sing along.

Ah well there you go, I was only half wrong. I've learned something though, not all Squiers are ply (just the majority of Squire bodies I see on ebay) but no one here has one.
