  1. Great idea - cheers Unfortunately, the foam has been ordered already, and i dont have that luxury now. Should have waited i suppose and now i;m doing it the hard way. So a hot knife - do any of them have a kind of wire loop on them so that can cut down to a certain depth and then scoop along to cut the bottom ?
  2. I'm going to refit my pedal board with High Density foam, rather than what it came with. But i want my 3 pedals to sit IN the foam and not ON the foam, so i need to shape it. I've looked at hot knives but they seem to be more for cutting easy shapes for cushions or whatnot, but i need some kind of hot knife that can cut the foam down to half its depth and scoop out the shape of the pedal. I will not be cutting all the way through the foam, so i;m struggling to know what kind of tool this is called or if they exist. Anyone know what i'm talking about ?
  3. That link is to a Stingray from GAK now, so i guess the WAL sold or was withdrawn
  4. Although finished, it still says £250
  5. WE got to shift these microwave ovens
  6. Not seen them but both ABCD and Bon Giovi have done gigs in my town
  7. My mistake - they were called Limehouse Lizzy not Jailhouse Lizzy. Thanks for the reminder. It was a fair few years back and i got mixed up on the name
  8. Never done the tribute thang but i've seen some stonking bands The Counterfeit Stones, A Whole Lotta Led, Jailhouse Lizzie ( Lizzy ? ) All were bluddy excellento
  9. This was partly why i gave up on my last band. There was more than 1 reason , but the rediculous volume helped. And naturally, the Les Paul / Marshall wielding lead git matched him. We were rehearsing one evening, and i always got plonked next to the drummer, and although he was loud, his practice / rehearsal kit was a bit dead and wasnt as loud as his gigging kit. Anyways, this rehearsal was even louder for some reason, and during some maniacal tubbing, he went onto the cymbals and i got that huge top end cymbal wash in my right ear, and ended up with a form of tinnitus for over a year. Everytime i walked anywhere, my right ear used get a sound like squishing when i put my right foot down. If you imagine the sound you get when putting a seashell next to your ear, but it stops as i picked my right foot up. So it went squish - no squish - squish - no squish. I also got the squishing sound when i put my head on the pillow at night, if i laid my head down on the right side with that ear on the pillow. I used to wear ear plugs at gigs but never at rehearsals because of the quieter kit he used, but i got caught out - once. That was enough - i wore plugs at every rehearsal after that. Thought i had permanent damage till it disappeared. Luckily, it was not the high pitched whistle that some people with permanent tinnitus get.
  10. There was a member called Will 8 years ago ? Great name
  11. Then left is the way to go. Carry on
  12. Paying a 4 figure sum for vintage ( early ) Fenders is mostly about the ' fever ' that that permeates these mass produced planks, not the quality of the instrument The only reason to buy one these days is that you're unlikely to lose money on it, due to the Fender fever mentioned
  13. Whatever feels the most comfortable is the way to go. The first time i picked up a guitar ( at school ) i naturally went right handed, not knowing why. But it was a natural choice. Thats what you should follow, your natural choice Forget any others reasons
  14. If it was factory reliced , it would be... Dingwall deliberately dinged I'll go get my pac-a-mac
  15. I'm not positive, but the dark / light areas may well be because of not using sanding sealer first. If you sealed the wood first, then i dont know

  17. He wasn't looking for a flag, just a strap with a UK flag design Here's what you get on the first page - right at the top
  18. Make an effort Guitar strap english flag design https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl
  19. Thread of the mods i did, guided along by those who know - Like Phil and Stevie
  20. They dont go as quickly as lightweight cabs, so dont despair PT. Not only that, i have 2 of them / identical
  21. Hardly, Christine. If you can knock up basses like you're doing, i'd say you have a bit of mileage left.
  22. Just finishing off .... I'm the sort of thing they ban I'm a walking disaster I'm a demolition man
