[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1451475247' post='2940731'] I agree with the above, but unfortunately there are songs I just will [i]not [/i]play and so I don't 'do' covers bands. They include, but are not limited to: Sex On Fire, All Right Now, Mustang Sally, Mr Brightside, Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Home Alabama, All The Small Things, Get Lucky, Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar, Play That Funky Music, Creep, Smoke On The Water, Hotel California, Superstition, Proud Mary, Wonderful Tonight, Born To Be Wild, Wonderwall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Moves Like Jagger... and yes, bleeding Summer of Fecking 69. There you have it. There are lots more but I can't think of them right now... [/quote] I guess I won't be asking you to dep for me then

Just hoping that my body doesn't continue to fall to bits too rapidly and that I'm able to keep gigging for another year.

Great review as usual Discreet

I used Lemon Oil for years and never had any problems with it but for the last year or so, since my wife bought my a bottle, I've been using this. I'm really impressed with it, only a tiny amount is needed and it can be used not only for the fret board but the whole instrument, including strings and hardware. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Ducks-String-Electric-Acoustic-guitars/dp/B00FA3GROU

Happy to start a thread and recommend Signal Path. Bought a gig bag from me, great comms and paid immediately.

What a great find and a good looker. Give us an update, once you've bonded a bit

Nice work, looks great

They both had brilliant house bands. They both turned out material that I loved and some that didn't do it for me.

For the first time in well over twenty years my house is a Wal free zone and I don't like it I will be looking to get another I think, even though I'm pretty sure most of them are too heavy for me to gig with these days. There are a whole lot of lovely instruments to consider. I would be taking my time, doing the research and looking at Dingwall, Lull, Spector, Fender, G&L, Alpha, ACG etc.

Do you play Mustang Sally? Do you play Brown Eyed Girl? Do you play Alright Now? Do you play Johnny B Goode?

What a splendid outcome, like you say, shame it took so long to get there. Although maybe that makes it all the sweeter

When I hit a wrong 'un, everyone scowls but guitarist faux pas seem to mostly go unnoticed.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1450356606' post='2931955'] Buy it and I'll swap it for my Amber burst...I''ll post some photos later.. [/quote] Problem is Mick, it's collection only. A bit of a trek to Yorkshire

I would probably have gone for this if the colour was more to my liking. Great instruments and very shoulder friendly

Unless you have a very high tech insulation system, it's got to be a no no. Temperature variations are just too extreme.

A few years back I modded a VM Jazz. The biggest improvement and by far the most worthwhile mod, was replacing the already fairly decent pups with a set of Wizard 64's. I did also replace the bridge with a Baddass, which arguably looked better but I can't say, actually made any difference tonally. Personally if I were considering modding another one, I probably wouldn't change the existing bridge but if it needed changing, then my choice would be a Gotoh 201, which I think is better value, better looking and better for getting a lower string height, without the need to shim the neck.
