  1. Your beef isn't with the folks on this thread who might still want to talk about the rather marvellous video. Happy Jack blocked you, so posting this serves no purpose other than trashing his thread. Please stop spoiling it for everyone else, theres a good chap.
  2. Intonation wasn't invented until the early 70s, by Xerox, I believe. Hang on, that's the laser printer isn't ? Damn. Sorry folks, this happens all the time.
  3. Now, that's a generous dose of uncut truth. Well said.
  4. I can see what you mean, but asking on a group has a feeling of connection, that looking on a website doesn't - I think some folks really value that. It's a bit like popping to the shops and whilst having a chat about the price of ackee, you ask the shopkeeper if they know what the weather's going to be like later. A bit
  5. YMMV but to me they're essentially the same question.
  6. Perhaps the folks there like the chat and interaction with others as much as finding answers to their questions. The difference, perhaps, between looking something up in a book as opposed to asking your friends if they know the answer ? Same info, different vibe.

    DIY Effects

    Thought I'd share my most recent pedal, largely as I'm chuffed with the enclosure. Found the picture of The Mothership, sorry.. Marquess of Anglesey in a magazine and knew it had to go on a fuzz. Lo-tech approach - cut the image out and stick it on the primed enclosure.👍 The fuzz is a Fuzzdog Conkador fed by a Fuzzdog MXR MicroAmp clone, which sounds very nice indeed, or very bad
  8. An attack of 'Sick Of Loadsa Instruments Dilemma' if I ever saw one. SOLID - the opposite of GAS
  9. Double flat ? That's a maisonette isn't it ?
  10. Sounds like a blast ! I think I'd quite like to be your neighbour
  11. That would be a great way of broadening your playlist - take oldies requests from the neighbours I like the way you frame it btw - 'The Lunchtime Recital'...brilliant ! What's on the playlist at the mo ?
  12. Sounds like tough times for you Andy. Stay strong buddy.
  13. I watched the start and the first few hours with my sister and then we got a bit bored and drifted away. I think we tuned in now and again during the day and evening as well. We enjoyed we saw iirc, but it was very clear early on that Queen were never going to be bettered.
  14. I hope whatever it is isn't too serious. I can see how things can be put into perspective very quickly by health worries. .
  15. I'm nowhere near as interested than I was. At home I usually have the radio on (usually something non-English language as I can't bear the chatter) but it's largely a bit of company. I used to get up in the morning and put music on all day to listen to, not now. Mind you, I was a librarian for quite a while - I may have just got used to, and enjoy, silence (or as much as Tottenham will allow) more than I did. I can quite happily do a 3 or 4 hour soldering session, in front of a PC, with access to any music I like...and do it it total silence, and it not even occur to me to put music on. 😦
  16. No real news from the 'band' I'm 'in'. There's still some talk about finding a drummer, but having joinedthis a year ago and got nowhere outside a practice room, I can't see it going anywhere. I've had the odd noodle on a bass over the last week, just learning some Roxy Music songs for my own amusement...but I still feel less and less like I'm a, I dunno, 'proper'* bass player as time goes by. It really is quite dispiriting *Whilst admitting that I'm not sure what that means.
  17. Cool. Glad you managed to way to got it to work for you 👍
