A decent iron makes all the difference, quicker, safer and much more efficient.

Hasn't all of this been detailed in the Barefaced pedal thread?

He had some great session guys on the albums. Have to admit to still playing them on occasion.

That sounds pretty awful. 

I'm extremely careful/scared around power tools, having seen the damage that they can inflict.

Will have to check that one out Lozz

A while back I picked up a very nice Harley Benton Tele with a Paisley finish which played quite nicely. A trip across Hertfordshire to @gary mac's where he installed a Bigsby-a-like trem, dressed the frets and installed a new set of strings and it now plays lovely, thanks very much.

Geeetarist friends don't believe it's a budget model.

 

I really enjoyed working on your Tele Mick, nice player.

No, but even with 10cc and Steel Pulse as contenders, Darts were still the best gig in the park. Did you live in Harlow then?

No I crossed the border from Herts

10cc was a good one

Saw so many great bands in Harlow Town Park at the free gigs.

Is it time to admit that you saw the Bay City Rollers there?😂

Unlike Beedster, I do the truss rod adjustments first, followed by the saddles. Well actually, I tend to check the nut slots first, then neck relief, then saddles.

Saw Hawkwind in the 70's a couple of times.  Edmonton Sundown  Norf Landon  ( think it closed years ago ) and a free festival somewhere. Cant remember which one. 

Awesome band.  Though it might have been the organic cabbage that was going around

Saw them at the Sundown a few times as well. 

Was it Harlow Town Park that you saw them at? That one was a freebie.

Thing is that I really want to like them...?

Which album(s) did you try Chris?

I'm a big Yes fan but even so, there are a few albums of theirs, that I just can't listen to.

Still repairing, setting up and modifying, guitars, basses and mandolins. The first three months of lock down were dire but since then it has improved, to a point where I'm as busy as I want to be at this stage in life

No problems dealing with John, a Basschat gent

Back when I had a Yamaha B1200 a previous owner had installed EMGs. I always got a sound that I liked and that worked well in a band context.

I've regularly purchased from them and all has been good

Quickest way into peak Yes for a newbie ... get Yessongs, the triple live album.

Seriously. 

Indeed, I've got this on vinyl, it's a winner

You must also check out the Yes Album.

Was going to go on the exercise bike and lift dumbbells every day, use the opportunity to maintain fitness.

Instead I ate half a pack of dark choc digestives every day leaving me with indigestion and half a stone to lose.

They were nice biscuits tho.

Same here Lozz, in fact I'm sitting here reading this, with a coffee and a dark choc digestive

I've got a dremel copy and it's fine, not so with the attachments though. I now only purchase genuine dremel bits.

Good luck, hope you get sorted.

I've found with Wal, that it is better to phone them. 

You will need to go up to a much high grit number than 240. Treat yourself to some 320, 400, 600, 800 and 1000. 

Great being a Dad isn’t chaps👍
 

This turned up earlier from my girls

Just been in PMT getting told that the 15 will only be putting out about 150w as a combo. Wondering if the 4x10 might have more power? Loudness is definitely a priority for me but I can't find any info on the impedance of the 4x10 drivers

 

I never had a problem getting heard with that particular 150 watts. 👍

I had the 1 x 15" and gigged with it for many years. I also had a 2 x 10" extension cab, which for me, made it an awesome rig. Increasing decrepitude (me, not the rig), made it necessary for a change to Mark Bass. 

I'm in Herts.
