Hahaha. Saw what you did there, you young scamp, you. It looks quite pleasant - there’s something almost....’english’ about the look of it even though it’s an all USA thing. Not really my cup of tea though so your GAS attack missed by a country mile I’m a straight Class D kind of gal and I have all the amps I need, thank you. I will restrict my GAS to a nice walnut 4003s (with flats) just as soon as I’ve sold a few things to raise the funds 😋 The kids, for starters. They can go. And it’s not like we really neeeeeed furniture. Packing crates were good enough for my mum and dad so they’re good enough for me. As to the Nexus strings, they’re fantastic on a guitar and last for aaaaaages but somehow I just didn’t get on with them on a bass. You clearly like them but, as Ricky says, that’s probably more of an S&M, art-rock thing. You sophisticated metropolitan types up in the meedja city there, with your black bass strings. It’s like the Citadel out of the Hunger Games. But more rainy, obvs

Are they the Nexus? I use them on my guitar - a nice, dark tone - but couldnt get on with them on a bass. I might give them another go sometime. I fancy some tapewounds now though.....

Eeeeewww.

It still works if he's called Mal. Or an all girl band of single females playing weddings and parties....

I use a drum stool which has a low back rest attached. Comfy, supports my back but also encourages reasonable posture. I sit while learning new pieces and stand when I'm running through the set list.

Presumably Chris Squire carried on with Rics because he didn't really care for the wife's poodle.....?

Sounds and spelt like a Kraftwerk tribute band without access to a soldering iron.... I'd go see them

Damn. Beat me to it

Excellent. Free Beer Tonight might pack the punters in as well

You mean there are people who put rounds on a jazz? Perverts. Mine has worn the same pair of d'addario chromes for the last six years and just sounds better and better.

Oh bugger. There was I thinking I was paying homage to Neil Young when it turns out that I’m just channeling my inner Stub.... my hat must have blown off....

Hat - but only at certain times of the year. I manage to get away with it by being so cool....

It's an age thing, Ricky, get used to it..... Now, why did I come upstairs?

I just read my post again and realised that i lied - the weight is 4.6kg. Sorry!!! -
Hi My digital scales give me slightly different readings each time but the average of five is 3.60 (sorry, that's wrong i meant 4.60) kg (cheap filling station tat!). The min-etune system doesn't use any screws so when i decided to replace it i had to think long and hard about whether to drill screw holes in the back of my guitar. I looked at loads of videos and forum posts about the best options and decided against the Kluson style as they need two holes per tuner. I'd settled on the Grover rotomatics as they only need one hole per tuner and that hole is covered by the min-etune if it's ever refitted. Then i found that the Gotoh tuners are a direct replacement/copy of Grover rotomatics and the 510 locking tuners have really good reviews so that's what's on. So, yes, there were six holes drilled in the back of the guitar for the tuners. They'd be covered if the min-etune was refitted. And a meet in Hertfordshire is still on the cards. I've got a couple of trips planned in June but I can always take a run down with a day or two's notice. Hope that helps 😀 Thanks again for the enquiry

Welcome. You've single-handedly lowered the average age on here and raised the average IQ. Nice work. 😀

Or Hall prefers Ormskirk Municipal.... Or Birkdale once hosted a wedding reception at which one of the band was playing a Rickenfaker....

If you work out where the decent golf courses are and then find the nearest retailer you might have an insight into why a particular venue is chosen. Edit: just realised that the events being held at a golf club. I should read these threads before I post..... But it does kind of illustrate my point......
