The guitarist in my band wants to buy a new guitar. Any ideas of a guitar emporium where we can go to check out the options? I know the good places for bass gear but I'm a bit lost when it comes to our skinny stringed brethren. We're in Northampton BTW, so London or Brum is perfectly acceptable for travel.

I think we might be going to see Terrorvision in Coventry next month. I need to beat the troops into shape so I can get the right number of tickets!

That's an interesting approach to a drop D tuning. I've never seen it before. Does it cause any issues with not being able to play an open E or I guess you just learn to work around it.

I'm sure there was a thread on here about practice/ home studio spaces, but I can't find it. Anyway, after a tidy up and moving some shelving around this is where the music is made in our house!

I'm going to get one in this month. Promise!

It may stay worthless then, I'm rubbish at taking pictures of anything! Thank you all for coming along today, it was great to see you and have the support for this crazy idea

And we're off people are here as well which is always nice

IT'S BASS BASH DAY! See you all in about four hours

Try and buy a 5 string Precision Deluxe to find out the meaning of hen's teeth!

I was hoping you would, but as it's being built for someone I didn't like to ask

That's a shame. Still, it won't reignite your 5 string P-bass GAS

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1462114761' post='3040364'] I will have a listen later on and vote. Seems a couple less noodles this week? [/quote] One of those was mine, despite having all month the deadline snuck up on me

I use really thin picks by the sound of it, Dunlop 0.6 ones.

Nothing about how it was better back in the day or using music stands?

I've never been able to play finger style with any kind of flow or consistency and when I started playing I didn't know I wasn't allowed to use a pick

Before I forget, does anyone fancy a raffle? Bring something to go onto the table if you do.

Bum, it's the 30th already, are riffs in this month?

It's next week! Hopefully you're all excited and looking forward to it

I find mine is a faff to tune, I have to do each string a few times before they all stay in tune, but I agree, it's not the evil invention it has the reputation for.

I was going to do a Northampton Saints one. But I didn't get round to it and and sold the bits. There's a P-bass neck on here somewhere with a yellow faced headstock

Are Andy and Jabba bringing their latest projects?

It looks the same, I've no idea if it is the same under the cover.

Last night during band practice I heard a sort of jangly noise from my cab, it appears around a high F (3rd on D) so maybe frequency based. The cab is a GK MB212, rated at 600 according to the sticker on the back and I run it with the horn switch in the off position. I got if from someone on here, danged if I can remember who, they painted the grill black so if you know who you are speak up! I'm using a GK MB500 Fusion with the gain on B almost all the way up but the master volumes are nowhere near loud, not even earplug loud last night. The signal goes through a tuner - GE-7B - ODB-3 - MS70B - Nova Dynamics Compressor Any idea what may have happened, and is it serious? I'm assuming that if one of the speakers is breaking then replacement is better sooner rather than later?
