  3. Instant Pussy — Matching Mole
  4. Not all CTS pots are made equal. They are manufactured in batches when ordered by the distributer/seller and the components making them up vary depending on the exact specifications the distributer/seller has ordered. This is why some solid shaft CTS pots have an silver/grey coloured shaft and some have brass. I've been lucky enough to have never had a bad CTS pot, but if I can I order mojotone ones these days as they have the best specs for guitars/basses.
  5. I've run into this situation when upgrading pots on squiers. A few twists with a tapered reamer is all thats needed. I bought this japanese 'engineer' one: https://amzn.to/3PeXNjJ which was tough enough to open up the holes easily.
  6. Papaya Was A Rolling Stone — The Temptations
  7. Hurry Up Haricot — Sham 69
  8. Fast Fret is just mineral oil with added scent — the same as lemon oil. I wipe my strings down with mineral oil (& then wipe off) to keep them clean.
  9. Stella (Artois) By Starlight — Miles Davis
  10. A few more of my favourites Red Leathergraft comfy suede straps to match the Competition stripes on my orange Squier Mustang Guitar and Bass twins, and a brown comfy strap for the Epiphone Firebird. Extra long comfy straps in black and beige for my worn black and natural Epiphone Casinos. Also shown is an Ace strap in the same design John Lennon used on the Apple Corps rooftop with his casino, it is a cool looking strap, but I don't use it as its not as comfy as the comfy. My Vintage statesboro parlour guitar which plays and sounds infinitely better than can be expected for the £30 I paid for it has a Levy's 'Hootenanny' strap which doesn't match on colour, but I like the design, and I guess a bourbonburst acoustic can probably go with anything. Also my Ben Gibbard Mustang looking very dapper with another black leathergraft comfy strap which goes nicely with the plastics.
  11. Another one of mine. The colours don't match, as my starfire has an ebony fingerboard and saddles rather than the more usual rosewood, but that isn't an issue as its such a nice heavy quality strap with a cool embossed logo.
  12. Six Days on The Road — Taj Mahal
  13. Flours Of Romance — Public Image Limited
  14. I find particularly pleasing the pairing of a Fender teal houndstooth strap with my American Fender Ocean Turquoise Acoustasonic Jazzmaster.
  15. Cruising For Burgers — Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention
  16. Only A Prawn In Their Game — Bob Dylan
  17. I'm A Sole Man — Sam & Dave
  18. Needle In The Hay — Elliott Smith
  19. Let's Go To San Francisco — The Flowerpot Men
  20. What's That Smell Like Fish? — Blind Boy Fuller
  21. I would use black milliput epoxy putty to fill that. I had success using white milliput to fill a couple of dents that my white thunderbird vintage pro arrived with.
  22. Baby, Take Your Teeth Out — Frank Zappa
  23. Turn, Turn, Turn — The Byrds
  24. Empty As An Elephants' Graveyard — The Residents
