mate , thats sooooooo cool

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice , i dont like p's atall but that really waxes my canoe !

oh and maybe different sections like amps basses accessories just to keep it all organized again just a thought

what about an online form , sort of like an open questionare where you fill in the boxes ( with text obviously not ticks and crosses ) for your review , this should give it some sort of consistancy and allow the readers to compare reviews eaisily and quickly . and have them different for amps / basses / pickups / cables ect just a thought

bass is always put with the pa for some reason , i prefer it when it is , i dont like it scattered with all the guitar stuff

i think stickers is an awesome idea! on a par with cards to be honest! doug

behringer - just dont

that black scratchplate looked awsome , that with the black marble behind it would be serious damage! doug

asking 16 year olds for photos , the google bots will be on this thread like a hobos dog into warm chips! doug

awsome! thanks for that !

i know this is a bit off topic but i was speaking to the fender custom shop rep and he was saying that the actual relicing is only a few processes and not insanely hard to do , but nuggets to get to look right , apparently , fine grade sandpaper , uv lights , wire wool and the outside are the main tools but he wouldent go into detail. the brave woods are awsome , id love for my 05 jazz to look like one of them in 10 years time

[quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='40674' date='Aug 2 2007, 10:28 PM']Does this now mean 'a good thing'? I really can't keep up with these dialect changes.[/quote] yeah its a good thing [quote name='JPJ' post='40798' date='Aug 3 2007, 10:09 AM']The Newcastle SC must be the exception that proves the rule here. I have always found the staff there to be friendly and helpful, but I have been shopping there since it was Rock City back in the late seventies/early eighties. Never bought anything significant off them, just strings, pedals and the like but I am encouraged to try anything I want (and frequently do!). Maybe its because my guitarist brother-in-law spends a small fortune with them every year on Gibsons and Jacksons, perhaps they think that I'll eventually catch the bug and have to join him. Nice end to this post is that my fifteen year old daughter (who plays violin and a bit of guitar) went into the Newcastle branch with a couple of her mates on a Sat afternoon. One of the guys recognised her as my daughter and let her try out a USA tele, telling her to fetch me along to buy it for her. Her friends were suitably impressed and she walked out about two foot taller than she had walked in.[/quote] the manager of the newcastle store is now the london manager , a very nice guy called paul mabye it will have improved down there ( i have no basis of comparison ie only been in when hes managing ) anyway if me getting transferred comes off , i can guarantee im a nice knowledgeable guy so come buy your bass gear off me ( if you guys change your sc oppinions ) !

come on vintage and rare is the DAMAGE! possibly the coolest shop ever , but im agreed , the gallery is freaking sweet!!!
