    That Sire looks really lovely. Tempted now. Darn it.

    I'm happily using them on my old Aria. They have a different feel from my Rotosound flats but all strings have their own feel. Nowt wrong with them and at a bargain price too.

    That looks the bollocks, it really does. Convinced me not to bin an old broken down combo but strip it down for parts. I see a cab build in my future.

    Love the way you set up your graphic

    Can I add my voice to the chorus of praise and thanks for this wonderful insight into what goes into a huge gig like this. I could feel the excitement and joy you experienced coming through your posts. Oh, and from one photog to another, your shots were outstanding.
  6. stewblack
    My first experience of flats was very similar then they played themselves in and I love them now. It did take a while though.

    You win the internet
  8. stewblack
    That's the entire point surely?

    I used to like my Pocket Rockit but they don't seem to be available any more. Which kind of supports your point.

    Thank goodness I'm not the only one happily using the Amplug! Sure it's plastic and feels flimsy but plenty good enough for learning songs at anti social hours. The hiss disappears when the tone is rolled back to about halfway and with a small MP3 player clipped to my guitar strap I can wander merrily naked around the house and garden playing along to my favourite tunes - without bothering the neighbours.

    Looking good! Love the colour.

    Great chap to deal with, excellent coms and item precisely as described, arrived very quickly. If Carlsberg did Basschatters....

    Cheers! Even the middle 8 is reasonably sparse and just one change between verse and chorus. I'm learning this for a band right now and cannot wait to play it live.

    Can I join in? Some wonderful suggestions here and so much I can learn from all of them. This little gem also springs to mind

    Speaking as someone who used to own a pub and therefore had to buy the bloody things I'll pretend I didn't hear that!

    Thank you deepbass5 much appreciated. Will need to check the bank balance!

    Thank you

    I nearly wrote "Not that kind of stool" but decided against it.
  20. stewblack
    Its not so much the numb bum more the height and posture
  21. stewblack
    Thank you.
  22. stewblack
    Anyone recommend a good musicians stool? I'm spending hours a day rehearsing and learning and can't stand for all of it. My dining room chair is feckin uncomfortable.
  23. stewblack
    Admired yes, absolutely. But I just love a cab build. Maybe it's something to do with my aspirations. I have no illusions that I might be capable of making a playable instrument, however a cab is within my skill set. Possibly. Can't really explain it but I love the whole thing about a cab build.
  24. stewblack
    Don't know why you say guitar builds are more interesting. I like to look at the finished instrument but the rest is way too fiddly. Now, cab builds I can sit up all night reading and studying the pictures. This looks great. Love the domestic workshop and can't wait to see more progress.

    The band I'm setting up has come about precisely because the guitarist is in your situation. His long term band has been in a steady decline, members being replaced with less able and less interested people, gigs dropping off, no motivation. So he got chatting with me and we decided to set up something else with people who had the same ideas and goals as he has. He's keeping up his other band to keep his hand in but has rediscovered his mojo through this new project. Perhaps you too could find another project to run in tandem so you don't have to leap into the abyss. Good luck. I've been where you are and it's an awful place to be.
