I'm confused too. So the OP was selling a 'Ray, was he?

Classic rock song Smoke on the Water has its origin in a tragic incident that occurred while Deep Purple were recording near Lake Geneva. It was a bitterly cold winter, and parts of the lake had frozen over. One night Jon Lord nipped out for a ciggie, and in his preoccupation with lighting the thing failed to noticed that he had wandered too far out onto the lake's frozen surface...

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1425906973' post='2712006'] Of course, the big downside of this type of monitoring system is that it kinda cements you to the spot - which can be a little visually boring. [/quote] The next version will feature wireless pads that slip inside your underwear.

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1425896049' post='2711826'] We played a gig recently and one of the songs had two guitar solos in it. During the first, I was struggling to hear him. After we finished, a friend in the audience said, we couldn't hear the lead at the start, to which I relayed to said guitarist. He replied, " when I started I hit the boost pedal twice by mistake" I thought, " why the f*** couldn't you hit it three times then?" Obviously, he couldn't concentrate on more than one thing!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1425839655' post='2711329'] Mine's gone awry. It started with the image in mind but ended up somewhere else entirely. No time to start over so it will be submitted but the only Inspired by' bit is the fact that it started there!! [/quote] Sounds good to me... as discussed in last month's thread, the pic is the starting point and after that there are no rules! I've started something which is wending its own way in the background... as it's not at the top of this month's to-do list, it may be abandoned rather than finished. It remains to be seen (or heard) whether it's fit for public consumption on deadline day.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1425835257' post='2711255'] I thought it was going to be about the railway station in Birmingham... [/quote] Where, while changing trains, I bumped into Mr Phil Oakey, back in his lop-sided hairdo days. That's the biggest adventure I've had in Birmingham.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1425734894' post='2710168'] As has been suggested, try as many as you can (not always easy though), and trust your gut instinct. If it feels nice and sounds nice, it is nice, no matter what anyone else says or suggests. [/quote] This. I had a Hohner B2V for ages but hardly played as it never felt right. Then a couple of weeks ago I went and tried a few fivers at Wunjo's and it started to make sense... I've now just traded the Hohner for an Ibanez SR and already my four-strings are feeling weird Now my issue is to stop translating "try as many as you can" to "buy as many as you can"...

Ditto... Paul promptly whizzed around and took [i]two[/i] of my basses! Thankfully he left some cash behind

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1425578611' post='2708805'] Not strictly true, as this is not gender specific. You can expect to receive a friendly "Orroit, moy luvvur?" from members of either sex, whether different to yours or not. Wurzel-manglers are not fussy [/quote] Absolutely, it was an earlier post that was making gender distinctions. If you wannabe mot luvverrr...

[quote name='Bikenbass' timestamp='1425557827' post='2708541'] Oh great! Thanks for not waiting, I was just about to buy that. [/quote] I think it's quite reasonable to wait 3 & 1/2 seconds before taking the last doughnut.
