  1. Hi Lee. Have sent you a PM - hope you've got your head round those! Regards Mick
  2. Any fans of the above? Declare yourself as I have need of your advice! Ta Mick
  3. The original concept was 'donate, or pour ice over yourself'. It changed to both from either/or, to satisfy the Facebook generation's self-centredness! I played a gig for Macmillan last weekend and put something in the bucket (collecting, not ice!) … which, at my advanced age, is probably more dignified, not to mention effective.
  4. [b]​**** Price drop to £175 ****[/b] Wilson Ventures VM-65 I’ve always wanted a Mosrite, so when I saw this Ventures-inspired guitar in my local shop it was love at first sight. That was January, and so far it’s been out of its new gigbag about three times for some lounge noodling – effectively as it was when I saw it. Still has the protective plastic on the scratchplate… As the sticker suggests, it’s made in Korea. The tremolo appears to be modelled on the Strat rather than a Jaguar-type contraption (which, as a former Jag owner, I hated). The 22 fret bolt-on neck is a small C style with a rosewood fingerboard. Pickups are Seymour Duncan versions of the P-90, controlled by volume and tone knobs and a three-way selector. The Ventures have endorsed Wilson’s guitars, so needless to say it can do surf music effortlessly – but is surprisingly adaptable and very poky. The agathis body has the trademark carve that made this guitar iconic and is finished, as you can see, in a beautiful deep red. I shall probably buy a bass version, as I love the look. Sadly, I have had to admit I am no longer a six-string player… This as new model comes with an equally new luxury padded gig bag at [b]£175 - 60 per cent off the new price.[/b] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/DSCF0544.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/DSCF0550.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/DSCF0547.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/DSCF0549.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s92.photobucket.com/user/mickeyboro/media/DSCF0551.jpg.html"][/url]
  5. [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1407745330' post='2523433'] Yes indeed. See post #7. [/quote] Dunno about milk, I need a coffee to wake me up!!!!
  6. They weren't cool, but 'No Milk Today' was! Written by the great Graham Gouldman; title from his dad Hymie.
  7. Interesting that Herman has rejoined…at one point the only original was the drummer Mind you, that's also the case with the Animals…
  8. Sold him a bass and he was the perfect customer! Cannot recommend more highly.
  9. The least-hassle transaction I have ever done here - even offered to pay me petrol money! Nice guy, deal with absolute confidence.
  10. Fair enoughski - where's that room? I'll join you!
  11. [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1406749054' post='2514448'] In an ideal world I'd buy this, lock myself in my music room with some beer and just play all right now and wishing well over and over again. [/quote] The only fly in the ointment is Tetsu played on Wishing Well - a Precision, I suspect!
