Looking at the above would OCD be justified?

I took up playing guitar / bass whilst my mates were out nicking cars, they have criminal records, I don't....justified! I also have a spare room and no children so as long as it fits in the room again it is justified. Finally to justify 26 guitars, various amps, many effects, most of a full PA system, a huge recording rack...and some synths to my good lady wife, one day I am going to have to open a music shop which will pay for our retirement...possibly!

I don't get it! So you brought a 60's Strat and found that underneath was an ultra rare Paisley finish but you thought...."now I can see that fine finish underneath a dodgy refinish, I won't bother getting the nasty refinish removed" not sure of the logic behind the guitar

I bet they are fakes, from memory you can tell by the written ring, the wording should be indented on the genuine article....but don't quote me on that....I don't think the image he has put up is good enough to tell

I think it's a great idea, as long as more experienced players are happy to contribute, we all started somewhere, knowing sweet fa about what we were doing, a forum where beginners feel they can ask what, to many of us, may seem like "dumb" questions is a really good idea and somewhere where even more experienced players may learn a thing or two

You need to have some "bar fodder" in the set, irrespective of how good your set list is people will need to, get their breath, go to the bar, traipse outside for a smoke, go to the loo...fight each other etc at some point, give um a couple of slow numbers along the way and build up to a killer finish

That looks really nice, good job sir

I don't get it..........The idea is to adjust the sound from onstage? Surely unless you have a sound engineer with the desk out front then you can manually adjust the sound from onstage with one of them slider thingies....and unless you have a sound engineer to advise you then surely you cannot hope to adjust the out front sound from onstage with any degree of certainty? Luddite, me

Definitely better than the offerings of "he who must not be named"

Horrible, why would you do that to a perfectly nice bass?

Terribly sad news, RIP guys

Yodaclub used to use it a lot but, as I understand it, Soundcloud stopped people from sharing something with a private group sometime back so it was a case of public or nothing...we didn't want to put all of our rehearsal ideas in public so we moved to dropbox instead.....I haven't used it since

I would buy another Twin Valve head if I saw one come up for sale, however, I wouldn't put the new one in a flight case that weighed as much as the amp...as was the case with the last one I had!

Like that one

I would not buy off those images....the neck stamp looks ok from the images and from online info 66 was the first year of block inlays so it may be cosha

What A Waste is not as difficult as it initially sounds and is fun to play, I can't get near Rhythm Stick though!

I feel your pain, I am on the verge of packing up table tennis because I have an unrealistic expectation of how good I think I should be, our team captain is a national coach so has helped my game a fair bit....but as he says "you spend 20 hours a week playing bass and 4 hours a week playing table tennis and have done that for the last 30 years... I do the opposite...I guarantee that you are a far better table tennis player than I am bass player" his point, and I think it's a fair one is it is all down to practice....you are already a damn site better bass player than most people on this planet and are probably far better than you give yourself credit for...set yourself realistic goals and don't beat yourself up if you don't get there first time.

I have never really understood what a "concept" album was, I guess from the albums mentioned thus far, Punk and New Wave had no concept of......err, concept albums then!

I roll off the tone on a couple of songs we do where I want a smoother sound, I don't tend to do much with the volume control, the loud and quiet bits are in the fingers. A Les Paul Junior will go from huge bitey monster to purring kitten with a bit of volume adjustment, you don't really get the same effect with a Precision unless I suppose you were using large amounts of drive

14122 aged 49 better than I expected!

Excellent sound, fretless doesn't have to be all sildy slide stuff, look at Pino on Gary Numan's White Boys and Hero's or Paul Young's Tear You Playhouse Down, both with excellent quick note grooves...that to me is the fretless style I want to play
