[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1413294283' post='2576792'] I've a 6-string fretless, 5-string fretted and a 4- string fretted. I've never bothered about details such as scale length, spacing etc. I just play them. I may be odd, but I find it easy to adjust to the instrument, rather than try to find any particular set-up. There are extremes, of course, but millimetres are not a concern of mine. When playing other people's instruments, it's the same. I adapt. It's rare that I find anything unplayable. Sorry if this doesn't help much. [size=4] [/size] [/quote] It does , and I agree. You should be able to play most instruments within reason

50 quid for a silver series is great value

I just started doing open mic nights and tbh I wouldn't lend my bass unless it was being used right in front of me. It's nice and I don't want it screwed up. I always take a spare even if it's only acoustic

No - don't really hate it. My daughter writes her own songs and sings them. Proper ones with verses and so on. she's only five and I celebrate the talent

Isn't tipping in the us just to subsidise lower pay ? Think beginning of reservoir dogs. You say this yourself whdn you observe the haircut pay situation

What - dead ?

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1412945959' post='2573542'] Sorry mate but that's wrong about the kbd and the marble mouse and wrist rests. [/quote] I have had tendinitis and also thumb and wrist problems. I use a laptop all day and given a wrist rest and marble mouse they go away totally, so no, it isn't wrong

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1412888129' post='2573111'] All correct fella's - I''m using a laptop ALL my working day (with current employers for almost 12 months). Went to the Doctors yesterday. Honestly speaking - I've been ignoring / managing the symptoms for at least a couple of years. As a male - going to the Doctors is an achievement - I really had to convince him that I've been living with this for a couple of years and self managing the symptoms, it's not that I woke up earlier this week thinking "my wrists are a bit sore". I've ordered a separate keyboard to be able to sit in a more neutral position. [/quote] Seper ate kbd won't necessarily help - what you need is a wrist rest, a marble mouse, and properly oriented desk and chair.

[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1412931296' post='2573343'] I've noticed quite a few positive posts on this forum about Peavey basses. Not played one myself but from general opinion on here they seem to sound pretty decent! [/quote] I've got one and they are quality. Grinds are good

Wasn't there a westone that came with two necks back in the late 80s ?

Thinking of getting a thumper pickup after talking to dave Walshe

Happy with the zoom b2.1 I mostly use the amp sims and the compressor and also the drum patterns for jamming

Roscoe beck did a very good blues tuition dvd that went through this sort of thing

Like the look of the strat with custom wood and paint options

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1412758592' post='2571607'] I would. When it comes to British cars of the 60s my rose coloured glasses are firmly put away in a drawer. [/quote] I've had one - it was a money pit

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1412720917' post='2571462'] Don't give up, stay out there, look at all opportunities not just the perfect opportunities.Above all be prepared when something comes up. Blue [/quote] See, this is what I think Americans do well. Not saying there aren't Brits like this too but it's the cultural outlook that I think they get right

Perfectly adequate with a nice feel of solidity

They save money by not supplying the hard case and not rolling the edges of the fingerboard. I think the plates are a bit cheaper too but it's nothing major in terms of difference.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1412516322' post='2569493'] I've heard quite a few stories about Squire from various people over the years; not one of them has been positive. [/quote] Yes are playing venues like westcliffe on sea pavilion nowadays aren't they ? Hmmm
