  1. Some years back we were in need of a new drummer, so set up auditions. The first one to turn up, spent an age setting up his kit, tuning it, fiddling with drum heights etc. We finally launched in to the first song of his choice and he didn't do a thing, nothing. Claimed that he wasn't quite ready, so we started again, same thing, although on the very final note he wacked the snare drum and asked us what we thought
  2. I was planning on doing this very job a while back, in the end I had a change of mind. At the time I found this and thought that it was pretty good info: http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=101316
  3. I very much like both, Lindisfarne and Entwistle pickups.
  4. One of the few Christmas tunes that doesn't make we want commit a crime
  5. I've only used one strap for the last twenty plus years and that's a Comfort Strapp. Very comfortable, light and so far very long lived
  6. I tru oiled a P bass neck a few months back and now gig with it most weeks. I think I probably used a few more coats than you and then rubbed back with micromesh. After that, for a few evenings, I sat with the bass on my lap whilst watching t.v. and using an old t shirt, just gently buffed the finish. No vigorous, breaking in to a sweat buffing, just gently gently. It feels quite lovely now
  7. I can now add to the list of glowing recommendations for Steve. Top chap, pleasure to deal with and made parting with the bass much less painful. Happy to recommend.
  8. They definitely seem to target vans in Travelodge car parks, thieving scuzzy gits.
  9. I've tried a few over the years. My faves until recently were Wizards but a couple of days back I installed a set of Entwistle Neo's in a customer's Fender Mex Jazz. My word it sounded awesome and I now have Jazz GAS again.
  10. What a depressing sight that pic is. Feel for you.
  11. No worries mate.
  12. Keep all offers/trades etc. to private messages.
  13. I've edited the Ric out.
  14. Don't forget to discharge the capacitors before poking around in there.
  15. Wow, he should be very chuffed with that👍
  16. That is an impressively good cover
  17. Have you posted over on Guitarchat?
  18. The way a Tele should look, very lovely
  19. This chap in Albury is very, very good. http://guitar-works.co.uk/
  20. I just love that first photo, well all of them but that first one is just rather special
  21. It's had a great day out. Sorry to hear of your car woes though.
  22. That'll be Dancing Man SteveDoesn't stop dancing until the very last note.
  23. Problem is if you want that authentic looking sixties tort, nothing else really comes close. Which is why, a couple of years back, when I need a pre CBS tort guard for a 63 P, I spent out the dosh on the genuine article. It took some finding, plenty of searches and e-mailing but was worth the effort and the wait. It didn't come cheap and mrs mac thought I had lost the plot, "Spending all that money on a bit of plastic from the sixties, that looks like it needs a damn good clean". Ultimately though, the bass was complete once again
  24. We hopefully get to weed out any scammers and get them sent off in to oblivion, so that you don't have to worry about dealing with them
