Si600

It covers '91 to '96, but the car was made up until '98 so it'll probably cover up until then as well.

Free if anyone wants it. Goes in the bin at the weekend.

Not much use as a strip down and rebuild manual as most of the bits are on the moon at least the Titanic is closer

"Merry Christmas you 'orrible lot" said Tiny Tim

I saw Fish on Saturday, and he had a stand on stage with him. It didn't detract from the show for me.

I've called it pictures now, is that better?

That'll be a no then

We've had a Precisions thread, and a Limelight thread, so how about a GK owners club? I'll post mine as soon as I can get to Photobucket

There's a very nice Precision Deluxe V for sale in there somewhere...

We're only doing a few that I think others would want to do. Pretty Vacant and American Idiot are the obvious ones, Kids in America, All the Small Things and She Hates Me would be my next suggestions of popularity. Do you want the rest as well, or will those 5 suffice?

I went 5 years ago, having the extra range is useful, you can go low instead of high with some walking lines if the notes fit. I was mucking about with the low end at rehearsal last night. Playing "We've got to get out of This Place" starting on the low C with a bit of dirt is interesting. I liked it, but I'm not sure it necessarily works Try it, what's the worst that can happen?

I made mine over many lunchtimes at school after a school mate found Mervyn Hiscock's book in the school library. He made a sort of Telecaster shape and bought the neck. I made a sort of J shaped thing, but with quite pointy body horns, not intentional! It was actually reasonably well spec'd hardware wise, Schaller pre-unification M4 tuners and 3D4 bridge, Kent Armstrong jazz pickups and a strat style jack socket. All the controls were in the top horn, V V T T with a Gibson style blade switch for the pickup selection. No resistors so the tone didn't work anyway, It was going to be rear routed or rather, forstner bitted, but the piece of plastic I found for a scratchplate, (don't ask why I wanted a scratchplate with a rear control cavity), was about 5mm thick so I carved (forstner again!) it into the body and ended up with the control cavity going all the way through with a clear plastic cover on the back. The neck... Well, suffice to say that I made it myself, from scratch and fretted it with a tenon saw and a hammer. It didn't have an adjustable truss rod, just a square section steel bar under the fingerboard, which was in two parts IIRC as the blank was for a guitar. The fret ends were filed of with a huge file and left V marks on the fingerboard at the end of each fret. It was only in tune with open strings and itself. It was badly painted gloss black all over, including the neck. I've no idea what wood was used for it, but it was bloody heavy and quite frankly looked horrible when it was finished. But it was mine and I made it. Eventually the string tension pulled the neck off, there was a gap you could get a biro in at the end. My amp was an old radio amp my dad acquired from somewhere, two oval speakers and we built a varnished plywood box for it that was also very heavy. Beyond all expectation the whole ensemble actually worked even if it did look like something the dog had dragged in, half eaten and then sicked up. I found the remains in my parents loft and cannibalised the parts to refresh my Arai Pro 2 (See build diary thread). Then I got a £120 P-Bass copy from Chapppells in MK. That probably counts as the first "real" bass and was a dream to play comparatively. Then I broke it for parts intending to make a Saints tribute bass, and then sold it as I now only play 5s. The body and neck were sold on here not so long ago as was the bridge.

By George, I believe they have a Theremin!! Thursday - Everyone should see Dick Venom and the Terrortones at least once, even if you decide it's not your thing. It was a good evening all round, not as busy as I have seen the Billy, my preferred artistes being Mr. Venom and his gang, naturally , and Blackballed. The Terrortones came out in black leather jackets and sunglasses, except Mr. Venom who wore a long coat which was soon discarded along with his sleeveless leather jacket. A mostly naked man cavorting around the pub, climbing on the bar and then disappearing out of the door trailing his mic lead is something to behold! I enjoyed the songs, but not knowing their material I can't tell you the setlist. However, I am going to see if I can get them from somewhere. As part of the merch stand, they have a 7" vinyl single and a cassette tape! Yes, a real tape. I didn't see if a biro came with it just in case though

1. 20 yrs 2. Yes, Peterson Stomp Classic 3. Electronic tuner 4. Tune to open E and then 5th fret 5. Yes, unless by ear 6. When I've tuned by ear it sounds OK to me, but I'm told that it's not 7. Nothing 8. Yes 9. Electronic tuner

Any idea what time you'll be on at the Billy tomorrow? I may have to come and see you

I've got one and I don't find the fan particularly intrusive. Great little amps though aren't they?

When I got my MS60-B I racked up 4 Boss ODB-3's on it, then my real ODB-3 and then the overdrive channel on my MB500 Fusion. I thought the planet [i]had[/i] exploded

My guitarist mate has been going on about Blackstars for ages. He finally got to try one earlier this year and... Turns out he prefers the Marshall sound

Does anyone else perform the role of cat herder/kitten wrangler for their band? I found the drummer and vox, and I've arranged our rolling booking at the rehearsal space. I print out the list of things to work on for the session, send the emails to make sure the others don't forget, even though it's the same time and place every other week and now I'm being asked to bring a lead for the second guitarist for the second time. Just once I'd like to turn up and play without micro managing the others! On the other hand, if people management is the price I have to pay for actually having a band then I'll happily pay it

Very neat, I like the industrial metal pegboard Is it particularly heavy?

I meant strap, get another of the OEM ones that is on the top and put it on one of the long sides.

Apart from difficulties with the actual fitting, is there any reason I can't put a handle on the side of my GK MB212 cab? It would make getting it out of the boot a lot easier!

I don't have any 7" singles, nor any 25 pdr shells

I "found" two ammo boxes in my garage last night, stamped P59 MK2 1945, neither have any original condition worth, one is completely brown and the other I painted black when I got it years ago. I'm thinking of rubbing the black one down and repainting it, either plain black again or an appropriate army green, and then foam lining the inside for use as a cable box or microphone case. Any other suggestions what else to do with them? I can see it being more of a pain to lug about with cables in than a shoulder bag, it would be different though!

I'm giving away 2x 1 litre of Shell Helix Plus 10w 40 and 1x 1 litre of Honda 0w 30 if anyone wants them. Unopened and free
