The link above still works - but, you should drop a line to @Ashdown Engineering anyway via their website, they'll be able to help for sure.

Ahh, an ole guitarist of mine had a Patrick Eggle, I can't remember the model but it was a wonderful guitar that refused to make a bad sound!

I actually have! He's a good guy, genuine. He's played a million sessions with the very best musicians and with some of the best gear out there. You can't deny that he has a huge amount of gear experience.

Thank you! I've repeated this SO many times! Sponsorship vs Endorsement!

I was going to make a joke about Forty on E, only to discover the song in mind appears to be drop tuned to Eb.. But what is the song? 🧐

I am very much enjoying this thread! I am looking forward to seeing it completed. I'm chomping at the bit waiting for my donor bass to arrive. It's in a container somewhere in the middle of the sea right now I guess!

I am just the same - I've long come to accept that I don't know what some of my favourite songs are really about. You just need to know how to focus this skill and use it to your advantage rather than thinking of it as an inadequacy To be honest, it was such a light bulb moment for me when I realised that deep down, before I could play bass, I would be a bassist - if anyone ever asked me to hum a song, it would always be the bass line first!

(ok, so other than a very short hidden cameo, the band themselves didn't act in the film)

The Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody got a massive slating too. It's almost a sign that it will do well when the critics pan 'em.. 48 industry awards in 2019, Box Office Gross $911 million.

Having taught students from the ground up many, many times, we've already covered a huge amount of ground even before we get to Modes. I feel there are necessary steps in progressive learning that should be covered and understood before a beginner dives in to something like Modes. (and no, that's not because learning the Modes is hard, by the way!) More often or not, if a student comes to me to tell me about Modes their misunderstanding has come about because of the lack of theory preparation. The very building blocks, as it were. An elementary example would be "I'm playing Aeolian, because this is the Aeolian pattern on the bass."

A friend of mine went in to hospital for an exploratory examination many years ago. He was slightly perturbed when after laying down on the bed the male doctor arrived with a large tube of KY in hand. It was then he learned that KY wasn't just used for one thing... lol

KY is perfect for the job. A funny story: I ran out of the tube that came with my ear plugs and the cheapest suitable lube online ended up being KY, so I ordered a SMALL tube, the emphasis here being on the word SMALL. So imagine my thoughts when a larger than expected box arrived on my doorstep. The tube is so large that even those at the back of the venue could easily see the KY logo!!

I happen to have a set of GZR's for my up and coming build!

Wilkinson WJBL200 - I actually bought a big pile of gold hardware off a chap on FB ages ago as I was planning another P bass build, so I have a set waiting for the donor bass to arrive. Of course, they also come in chrome as well as black.

The Wilkinson midels that look like the Gotoh FB30 are actually not bad at all for the money, better than those things they but on some cheaper Fender models!

Cerberus Guitars ordered a Tron themed top. If you have Facebook , you can see the top here: https://www.facebook.com/tobiascasparwood/posts/2903249199965596

My mate Max is a bit of a resin expert and has been supplying his tops to lots of top guitar brands. He makes all sorts of other products too: https://www.facebook.com/tobiascasparwood https://tobiascaspar.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR1nkHmXSsZeodzBldLhJzq_t8-vNMIn-OrQrtQ2BNe5kW7Xa-xP54w6mBU The methods he has perfected for creating resin products alleviates many of the problems associated with it and understandably his guitar tops look incredibly rich and very clear! Talented chap! Hornets nest: One for Grainger Guitars:

I couldn’t when I was younger either mate!
