Anyone remember the experiment on telly where they gave a bunch of students a few tests to do and then they gave them coffee and were told that it was full of caffeine. They all got "buzzed up" and got on with the tests and when they were asked about it they said they were as high as kites and performed better, except................... there was no caffeine It was all in their minds.

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1392728911' post='2371989'] If you use chemicals to upset the body chemistry and this leads to various manifestations I think it's a little brave to say it's all imagined. It is indeed all in the mind though, literally Peter [/quote] One of the points is Peter that there was no caffeine in the jar he thought was caffeine and he reacted to it. So, no "chemical" but folk react as if there is because it's in the mind.

It's all in the mind. Caffeine for example...when people think it gives them a buzz in the morning with their coffee they believe it. I've done it with a mate of mine and other people where this mate said he gets severe palpitations with coffee/caffeine, so when he's at my house, I give him the coffee with caffeine in it and he's o.k but....I replaced it in the jar with decaff ! and he sees this as I brew it. Another time I gave him a decaff one but I'd put the decaff in the ordinary coffee jar and he said he had palpitations because of the caffeine. Sugar rush...that's another one whereby it's all in the mind. People do get rather aggressive about this though as they like to believe in stuff.

"Going Down Slowly". Brilliant build up. It's like a juggernaut, coming at you getting louder .....and ........LOUDER! Love the drummer giving it everything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wovz9dKG7JE

Dear Mr.Man

There's also Kickin' country radio http://kickincountry.com/wp/

Ash Soan is the brill drummer that well deserves this gig. Good to see he's cranked his snare up at last.

What about putting a decent coffee style shop, in a section of the music shop, with those nice Fender stools round the bar.

It's why I love coming here I've just listened again to this a few times and it's good to be reminded of how fantastic he is and what a brilliant drummer he is as well.

All good advice. There's one thing you may like to do and that's video yourself, practising what you practice. It's nice to look back in 12 months or so on the progress that you've made because sometimes it feels like there's no improvement, but when you see where you were initially, it makes you feel good.

There was this thread here: By Turk http://basschat.co.uk/topic/213536-neck-dive-issue-sorted/page__p__2258831__hl__chronic%20neck%20dive__fromsearch__1#entry2258831 Great suede strap. Plus this guy with a bit on the forward roll. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qGYMgGwuyA

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1387886776' post='2316806'] I'm using raw linseed oil on my fingerboards and I apply it using a kitchen towel rather than drizzling it over the wood, so it's applied sparingly; it flows into pores and fills them so that in time after repeated applications (days or weeks apart) a sheen develops - I tend to use a cloth duster to polish the fingerboard after I've played the instrument. The only downside is that linseed oil has a peculiar smell (though since I don't use much at any one time it isn't an issue for me). [/quote] I used boiled after I'd bared off the fretboard first and I'm quite pleased with it. Think I'll try some raw, next time and do.... like you Luv the smell

Thanks Grangur

I see sometimes that some, use linseed oil on the fingerboard. My question is, would you use boiled or raw linseed oil as I see that the boiled seems to dry quicker.
