D'oh, that'll teach me to skim read. Cheers

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1320272622' post='1424788'] The main question though, do I bring my ACG or my Zon? [/quote] Total non-question - the obvious answer is both

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1320264901' post='1424646'] Some the Yamahas listed weren't available in 68. You can see which ones would be applicable [url="http://www.yamaha.co.jp/product/guitar/archive/list/sb.html"]here[/url] [/quote] Are you saying that the ones which according to that page were released in November 1968 (SB1C, SB2A, SB5A, SB7A) weren't in reality available until 1969? What about the ones released in October 1968 (SA17, SA70B)? I just read from the very page you cite, what did I do wrong?

I normally would say my G&L Tribute L-2000 but my wife recently bought me a Gibson RD Artist so I really must save it above all others I think.

I didn't know there were so many varieties of canned worms!

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1320247057' post='1424311'] Muzz to singer...."look it's just a sock mate".... ;-) [/quote] ... with a couple of snooker balls in the end of it.

You have spurred me on to have another think: Yamaha: SA17, SA70, SA70B, SB1C, SB2, SB2A, SB5A, SB7A? Hagstrom: HIIB, Concord, H8 (world's first 8 string bass, allegedly), Coronado IV?

What was available in '68? Fender: Precision, Jazz, Telecaster, Mustang, Coronado? Rickenbacker: 4001, 4005? Gibson: EB-0/3 (short scale only), EB-2, Non-reverse Thunderbird? Epiphone: Newport, Embassy, Rivoli? After that, I'm struggling

From a recent gig in Banff. The first live outing for the Victory Artist, which performed spendidly! Photo courtesy of katejames on Flickr - [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/semajetak/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/semajetak/[/url] I really am going to have to try and stop my fingers jamming together like that. Looks like I've got a claw instead of a hand

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1320165331' post='1423204'] You of all people should know what a kick at the top of the neck is Matt. Although why the guy said it was common in Fenders (over any other make) beats me. [/quote] I wouldn't have called it a kick, it looked like it had taken a few kicks though! It was more like a Curly Wurly which had been left in the sun

Could he have said "kink"?

So ... a new neck then?

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1319837619' post='1419295'] Buyers should look at the postage fees, if they don't they are dumb. This guy is a crook without a doubt, but he's up for crookin the big man not the little guy. eBay fees are extortionate surely we can agree on that and surely we can agree that a buyer should check the postage fees, and if we can agree on those two then is it not plausible that this crook doesn't mean us any harm.[b] Ain't you guys ever heard of honour amongst thieves?[/b] We are in this together, eBay is the enemy. We shouldn't be telling tales, or quotin the rule book. Please! Please! Will somebody think about the children. [/quote] I'm not a thief though.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1319833233' post='1419241'] Reported? The bay is a poisonous labyrinth of deceit of rear end fingering, if this guy is getting one over on the man, then good for him. [/quote] He's trying to get one over everyone though - by adding a gotcha at the auction end for the unwary and being fraudulent, dishonest. The rules (and charges) are the same for everyone, what makes this seller so special that they do not apply? If you don't like the rules, don't sell it on eBay. There are many other ways to sell stuff. I haven't sold stuff on eBay since 2008. I think they're a bunch of gouging so-and-sos. That doesn't give me the right to attempt to circumvent the rules that are there in black and white for all to see.

All I can say is "Peavey Watts" - I don't know what the conversion rate is to regular Watts, but it's more than 1

This thread shouldn't be on page 2, so have the newest addition to my Gibson stable - the 1979 Gibson RD Artist:

Reported.

Unless there's some specific reason why he needs an acoustic I would say that a cheap acoustic bass will probably put him off bass for life.

Stick with what you know seems to be the order of the day. Look at Gibson with their Les Paul and SG - fifteen million variants of the same 2 models. People keep buying 'em, so they keep making 'em. Gibson tried to be diverse and even sometimes a bit wacky in their bass department and look where it got them

Even if the stack was completely blocking my way in a corridor I would rather move it carefully or find an alternative route around it rather than clamber over the top of it. There is absolutely zero excuse for the kind of shenanigans highlighted, namely using other people's stuff as a lauchpad for on stage stupidity (sorry, I meant hyper cool flagrant disregard for equipment or personal safety of both perpetrator and those nearby) and throwing water around on stage.

The higher the horse, the more it hurts when you fall off it.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1319191621' post='1410969'] [b]Seems to me you don't really rate the product [/b]so therefore you have be upfront about it and say it isn't you playing... end of. [/quote] Oh no, that isn't what I'm saying at all - I've said all along in this thread that I like the album and the songs. I wouldn't be in a band whose music I wouldn't naturally listen to anyway. Distancing myself from the playing on the album is merely an integrity thing, I won't take credit for something I didn't do. I don't think I'm putting my point across very well here. I think I'll shut up now and just focus on playing the songs and playing a more active role in the creation of subsequent music. I'm probably making a big fuss about nothing. It's just because it's a new situation to me.
