  1. .I emailed him the question of why the neck was not aligned with the strings and bridge.The reply [size="2"]Hello, There is some movement between the neck socket (on the body) and the neck. This is typical of Fender guitars from the mid-seventies onwards - usually three bolt necks. The neck can be easily adjusted to align the strings - to suit the player! Also, the tech man can secure the neck position. I hope that helps. Regards, Jim[/size]
  2. They do a lot of good Led Zepplin covers [url="http://youtu.be/na26mDoaBvc"]http://youtu.be/na26mDoaBvc[/url]
  3. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1367013530' post='2060394'] He has to be taking the pssss. Nobody could be that stupid. Love the washer! [/quote] lol yeah.I just moticed that.ANd he thinks it looks cool
  4. It looks like he found it outside the back of his shed
  5. My stepson had all his fishing gear nicked from the back garden and sold it to Cash Convertors.He found it in there, police took 5 months to do anything about it as they knew who sold it.Went around his house months later, found no gear there(obviously) so they were allowed to sell it as there was no proof despite the bloke in the local fishing shop told them he sold it to the stepson.That is why i would never buy anything from them even if it is a bargain
  6. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1366990277' post='2060031'] I had a flightcase with THE HOO stencilled on it, but no one believed me when I told them about buying it from Pete Townshend. [/quote] Perhaps the Hoosiers ran out of stencil
  7. [quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1366980551' post='2059810'] Eh? You know this is a Class A Vox AC30 don't you? Easily do sizeable gigs with one of these. [/quote] There you go.It shows what i know about guitar amps. Another thought, as much as i like Gary Moore`s work, which is a lot, it has Paul Mccartney listed.If that were true, then surely it would be worth more than marketing it ,Gary Moore
  8. [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1366979255' post='2059776'] Without provenance it's simply an old amp. If you were to buy it and come to sell it on, who's going to believe you? [/quote] Well, that is what i was thinking. If it was a big rig, i could understand someone wanting it, if the story was substantiated.It would be good to do gigs through his amps.But a 30w, you would never be able to show it off properly

    Eden amps

    I got talking to my local music shop vendor about amps, and he said that Marshall are bringing out new amps under the Eden name, as they bought the company, which he hopes to get hold of next week..Anyone heard or seen aone of these new amps yet?

Good story, and lots of famous guitarists associated with it.Doesn`t seem to be any provenance with it though.Plus a hopeful price of £2000

    Fave guitar solo?

    [media]http://youtu.be/foopZvhQRZw[/media] From about 3.30 to 8 mins.Hard to choose a favourite for me as it could have been virtually any song from Alvin Lee.
  14. Can i join in with you Warwick owners? Only got a secondhand Warwick Fortress Rockbass, so not worth bothering with photos.Only bass i have owned.
  15. [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1366732259' post='2056575'] I saw Black Sabbath at Download last year, and Geezer was eating potato bread. [/quote]
  16. Very nice.I want one.Have you played it yet, and if so, what do you think ?
  17. Perhaps they would exchange for a credit note if that would work for you
  18. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1366713655' post='2056239'] Still on the subject of sales, I seem to have noticed a proliferation of seemingly innocent posts (under Bass Guitars, or another of the specific forums [i]outside[/i] the Marketplace) along the lines of "I'd really like to sell X, I wonder how much it would go for?". Isn't that a way of inviting PMs and trying to make a sale by circumventing the rules, rather than a genuine request for opinions or info? Or am I being too cynical (in which case, I apologise in advance)? [/quote] I did that myself.I wanted to find out an insurance value as my neighbour has an old Fender Bass that he hasn`t used for years, but has no intention of getting rid of, just wanted an insurance value, and didn`t need to put photos, as i know it is mint by looking at it.I also got handy tips on how to store it properly.However, i did get a PM asking if i was selling it, so that could be a good point.Although innocent from me, i can see how it can be used to circumnavigate the fees
  19. Very sad.A true artist.Opened for Woodstock doing a 2 and a half hour set waiting for other performers to arrive.Ran out of material and improvised on the spot and made this masterpiece.How many people can do that in front of 300,000 people.

  20. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1366636900' post='2055207'] Sensible? Who said anything about sensible? [/quote] Must have been a Captain
  21. I have looked at this everyday since you posted ,drooling over it, wishing i could afford it.It looks really neat.So have a bump on me.
  22. [quote name='GILLY' timestamp='1360222746' post='1966802'] Here's another one from Spain. Bear in mind that she has only been playing bass since 2010!!! In fact, she could qualify for the 'Funk and Groove' thread I believe. What a talent: [media]http://youtu.be/u_AI2v-4DTs[/media] [/quote] This goes to prove it is worth putting stuff on Youtube. She went on the South American tour at the start of the year with Jamiroqui after they saw her Youtube performances
  23. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1366561310' post='2054041'] My biggest gripe about BC is I post daft stuff that I think is dead funny, and not one person ever quotes the post and laughs. . Lots of love, Fred Fenackerpan [/quote] Lol, i like that.I do that after drinking Strongbow, then read it the next day and realise why no one found it funny. I see even on this topic, people want to talk about Thatcher, so maybe i can see where some people are coming from. The only Thatchers i am interested in is the cider
  24. Whatever the causes of people not wanting to pay the £20 for selling, i m staying here regardless.I like it here.There are some really friendly people who give advice, and some not so friendly, that still give advice, which you can take on board or ignore.The help and advice far outweighs any negatives.Some topics i have avoided as it can get controversial, most topics i have read, and learnt a lot from .
