Is the buzzing happening everywhere? Home and/or gig/rehearsal locations? Dimmer switches, microwaves, network home plugs near you? If it's happening at your home, reboot the electricity supply...power the whole house down and switch on a few lights/electricals to clear the circuits, then power up.

I'm happy. I see stuff and think 'ooh', but then think I really like my testicles.

Yummy!

All hail the D'Addario Beta Testing group. Strings arrived here today. Boom! P

When I was running a lot of Thunderbirds, I jokingly named them Scott, Virgil, Alan etc. I was fast running out of cast names at one point.

I'll just bring all my stuff so long as I'm #1 on the list. P

Weee!

Forgot about this. Not a great photo but demonstrates the light. Will eventually update to a psu with a 12v output I suppose. More expense. P

At some stage I think I'll need to use a Stingray of some sort and these new SUBs are what, under £300? Mental. If they did a black one with a rosewood board, I think I'd pull the trigger. P

I wouldn't store anything long term in mine. It's fine for Christmas decorations, chairs and boxes of old glassware, but basses/guitars? In my opinion, the temperature and humidity swings will wreak havoc on instruments, hard case or otherwise.

Glen Matlock. I (obvously) knew of the Sex Pistols and owned the early singles, but he gets my vote for what he did with The Rich Kids.

It's inevitable that exposed steel will oxidise to a degree, especially when there's moisture about.

I have the Sex Pistols 'Some Product' album...despite the attitude etc. what's always struck me was how well spoken the guy was compared to today's yoof. The line that always cracks me up is when Sid descibes Steve Jones; 'I thought he looked like a turtle.'

I just spotted these on an email from The Stratosphere place in the US; the Omega bridge is made by/for Allparts - you can get one for $48 from the 'sphere. P

[quote name='Jonesy' timestamp='1449500517' post='2924092'] I was thinking exactly the same the other day!! If only someone made after market pups that sound like a Ric then I feel a project coming along! [/quote] I love the tone I get from my various basses; they all have individual characteristics and I can fairly easily get them to produce a similar sound, but the Rick had something different straight out of the box. Reckon that a project would need to be done properly, with the right parts and on a decent Thunderbird source bass.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1449497239' post='2924018'] One thing I thought from the video is that Eric Stewart seems to be morphing into Gerry Marsden. Mind you they can't be too far off in ages. [/quote] My wife said Lol looked like Alan Titchmarsh.

Try it out! I owned one for a few months, it went out of the house maybe five times, two of those occasions someone tried to nick it. While subjective, it sounded just lovely...and I mean really lovely. Man if I could afford to take the guts out of a 4000 series and drop them into a Thunderbird I'd be in happyville.

I recorded a punky version of ELOs Mr Blue Sky a few years ago. A mate of mine had tabbed out the closing sequence, but not the actual phrasing, so we just belted through it playing it in eights. It was completely wrong, but the actual sequence was just fantastic.

Addiction. A horrible, but unshocking and early end. Loved early STP.

Let's see how I get on with my search for the washers...
