Oh no! not another one!!

Did you know that the tall bloke with glasses on the TV quiz show 'Pointless' is the brother of the bassist from Suede??

That looks so flimsy, it could break fast!

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders did a terrible version of Help! - but I think it was for comic relief so it probably doesnt count.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1368779065' post='2081296'] Thank you for what appears to be a well researched and scientific response but... nose oil? Seriously? [/quote] Apparently, yes. Oh! and I heard KFC grease works too!

I,m not really a heavy sweater so I dont bother with the string wiping. I change my strings every 3 months anyway, even if they dont need changing. My problem, is beer or some other liquid spilt down the front of the bass leaving a sticky residue. This is usually caused by me taking a swig between numbers and the band starting the next song before I,m ready!!

Its not 'Roid Sally Roid!'

The bass player got electrocuted IIRC

Am Em Baby, you could never look me in the eyes G Bm C Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words Em G Stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my Bm C G Stop draggin' my heart around

Crikey! What have we done? hounded the poor bloke to quit! I hope he reconsiders.

I picked up this little 10 watt guitar amp for peanuts (Well £26.00) its well loud enough to annoy the neighbours.

Some folks spend hundreds on relicing. There is also the other option.

Norvegicus eh? JJ Burnell uses an open A string on the track 'Sometimes' from Rattus Norvegicus. He then hammers on the C and plays D & E all on the A string. Give it a go, its a good technique to master.

Oh, does this mean I can wear my '[i]I was not ignored by Guy Pratt'[/i] T shirt??

We do a cover of Life In The Fast Lane. That always goes down well. Does anyone remember an anti- Eagles parody song that went along the lines of: 'Don Henley must die, Please dont let him get back with Glen Frey'!

A quick rub of talc will do the trick, not too much otherwise it gets in the fretwires and turns gunky.

here's a photo of it. It has the black and gold Squier logo. Actually plays very well. I also got a little Stagg 10w practice amp to plug it into for next to nothing. Trying to learn a little bit of lead on it. Its really not as hard as I thought it would be. If you know scales and chord tones it makes a lot of sense. I,m at the moment working out the lead guitar run down by George Harrison during the verses on The Beatles 'Dont Let Me Down'

Ah yes, featuring George Harrison on a Burns bass, after Macca threw a wobbly and walked out of the studio.

you would think if they are expecting that sort of money, they would put a few decent photos up

Treated myself to a nice Squire Telecaster in butterscotch. I have always fancied one of these.

I play in 2. A dreadful cabaret type function band led by a halfwit who cant even tune his own guitar, which gets lots of work surprisingly. And a great rock covers band with a great singer which can never get everyone together for rehearsals.
