Thank you, computer says NO, as work PC has banned the link I'll check it out later when I get home. Si

I've got radio 2 on at work tonight as I always do. On the Micheal Ball show he played a song which was a mix of Mike Oldfield's Tubualr Bells and A.N OTHER. Can anyone please tell what this was as I quite liked it but missed the intro. Cheers Si

Mentioned it the guys at rehearsal tonight they're not keen

At 52 yrs old bald and overweight I will never get to play wearing spandex with one foot on the monitor

C=car...........an estate car........big and roomy, sorted for lugging gear and fishing tackle. Is it a sign of age that I'm more excited about getting an estate car than If I was getting a sporty number. Roll on 2pm when I pick it up.

if you plug in and switch on your new amp at rehersal, only to hear.......nothing......check you have not plugged your tuner into the headphone socket instead of of the tuner out socket. your new amp is make a fizzing noise promanent in the treble registers........if your bass is active, change the battery. Had both last night and got myself into a flap...wot a numpty Si

But what is the best bass for metal, that is the eternal quest..........

first gig I ever did many years ago in a country pub Rick and Maddy sat watching......no pressure there then fortunately i wasn't playing bass

Nice one RK that is one of the most beautiful natural finishes I have ever seen, If this doesn't generate commisions for OW there is no justice in this world. I'm now racking my brain trying to justify and finance one myself. I'll have to sell the mother inlaw to white slavers mmmmmm now there's a thought.............

Don't wait to long for the big unveil RK we're all on tenter hooks here.....

I bet it's like being a kid waiting for Christmas, I'm afraid Martin will be delayed slightly this afternoon as I have a lesson booked after work, I'll try not to keep him to long.

when's the big day rk?

I speak to Martin every week, I have lessons with him I sooooo want an OW. Job situation a bit up in air at mo I'll have to wait a few weeks as there might be redundancies. It's a hard choice, a hand made OW or change my banger of a motor.....suppose I could just about get it through another MOT.

Ive seen OW guitars crop up on ebay but they're rare as rare thing. You're bass looks the biz, Martin is a very talented guy. my next bass ambition is a hand made OW i'm a big fan.

overwater have made guitars before I know someone with an OW strat.

Gave my 5er it's public debut last night after a month practicing with it, loved it, it's nothing fancy just a cheap as chips Squier I got second hand, the one with the pair of really crappy jazz pups. But, after having a pair of SD quarter pounders fitted and changing the white scratch plate for a black 3ply one, it not only looks the biz (black on black) it sounds amazing. Rest of band say it's sounds better than my Tanglewater. I'm a convert .

Wow and I thought I was doing well learning six new songs in a week to dep with another bands rehearsal tonight. I take my hat off to you

Thanks for input folks, some very interesting answers to mull over. I feel a bit of reading up on my part is needed.....but not tonight I tired after a busy day at work capped of with another great lesson, both theory and practice :-) Si

Why is it called theory. A theory suggests to me that how something happens or works is unknown but the available evidence suggests something or is a well informed educated guess. Music works to well known sets of rules and conventions (which I know can be broken in the right context i.e if it sounds right). I feel I am not studying a theory but rules guided by the laws of physics. I'm not losing any sleep over it but perhaps one of you in know could explain it to me as it's niggling the need to know splatnic ganglion cortox of my brain cheers Si
