    I wont go into a huge debate about this. However, Since when did anyone need a degree or qualification in music to actually play or get a session? The laughable thing is, I have been in a music tec hcourse and had interviews for various music courses and i find it hilarious how teachers try and sell the course. And how it gives big oppurtunities to anyone. I am not so much against the course as i am against the teachers and people who try and sell these courses as a must have to be a musician. However as to making students do bland uninteresting music, that is also down to the teachers. When i did a BTEC Music technology I made a death metal/jazz track in 7/8 and 3/4. My teachers loved it. However did it set me up for anything in the real world or teach me anything new about music technology? Not really i got a overall merit grade yet i never learnt how to sight read, never was able to use logic effectively and didnt get any work from it. It was fun but at the end of the day the people who create and teach these courses go home with money in their pocket and the student goes home with a worthless qualification. Now i am at uni studying Computer software engineering and the amount of work i have put in the past 3 months and the amount i have learned is staggering and twice as much as any music course. And i knew more about computing then i did music. So in closing. Music courses = Sometimes fun, Worthless qualification, If you have time and money to do it and maybe learn something do it, But never do it for a career. (Unless your a classical musician, in which case you should have started back when you took your GCSE's! EDIT: I learnt far more watching other musicians play at live gigs then i have courses.

Semi-fretless? In any case, allow me to register my tentative interest in a very fine-looking instrument![/quote] Try me I consider most things.

    Hey guys. Up for sale or trade is a Mint Dean Rhapsody 12 string in Trans black. Mahagony body with maple cap. Grover tuners. Not as heavy as i thought it would be! EMG pickups. Great versatile EQ. Lots of variation between the pups. Maple and Walnut sandwich neck. There are no issues with the bass Its in near mint condition no case but it does come with a spare set of strings. (Yes all twelve of them) Great clarity of sound and actually has a massive slap tone. As for what i want in trade try me! Just tell me what you got! Price is £270 Also bare in mind i havent got much in the way of transport so any trades will probably be done in Bristol and surrounding area. Cheers. Rob.,

    Hey guys. Here we have a neck and body of the guitar that my old band the advocate generals used. The body is pretty light and the neck a fast player. Its been through the wars and the body has had a very bad refinish (By a 17 year old me who knew nothing of what he was doing) However its pretty solid wood underneath the finish (Not ply) with a very good neck. Pickup is in Kingswood Bristol. £25 Rob.

    Up for sale is a 65 watt custom sound keyboard amp. I have had this for a long time but times are changing and i no longer have a keyboard, So it must go! It has a 12 inch speaker with small tweeter. Onboard reverb and two inputs with seperate EQ. The speaker sounds a bit muffled. Probably could do with a change. Sold as is for 30 Quid. Pickup from Kingswood Bristol. Rob

    [quote name='Wil' post='112889' date='Jan 3 2008, 01:52 PM']There's a nice white mock on us ebay with the hundred piece neck, and a PJ config. I'm tempted, I'd definately prefer that simpler electronics layout to the one on the white mock that's done the rounds (although the switches looked damn cool)... shipping is steep though!

Hes a great guy. The 100 peice necks are AWESOME, Trust me its better to ship with neck off when possible! Why not go for the warmoth body?

    OPTIMA GOLD BASS STRINGS. 24karat worth of sound. It's the only strings i use. Really looks classy with gold hardware. Great piano like bright tone. Expensive but worth it!

    So i love loud and pink looking basses. I also love the understated BC Rich models. But put them together?! Just won her off of the bay, Coming from the US so it will take a while to get here. Will be changing out chrome hardware for black. Put a MM pup in the bridge and adding a two band EQ to it. Its pretty much on another level compared to my other eagle! I'll let you guys know what its like when it comes through! Rob.
