I knew it had to be but I also noticed a distinct lack of knob gags on this build. It's looking fine. I wish you many years of use out of it.

Er... How did you get your knob to go through that eyelet? (I'm on about the handle.)

Welcome Warren.

I'll wager that ^this^ is inaccurate. Tigers would starve during the monsoon season just for the sake of a weak lyric that substitutes whet for wet in a cheap pun. Naughty Bonzo's. Be kind to tigers. You'll have nothing to shoot at if they all starve.

Welcome Goldie. You will find the resources to help you here. In fact you will probably bankrupt yourself within the year, such is the choice of gear here. GAS* is a bugger. *Gear Addiction Syndrome

I was glad to see the back of old twice nightly. He looked really sinister.

So now you can only sh*t at the shrink's? That's a bummer.

Welcome Jonny.

Good man! I'll leave you a pint behind the cyber bar.

Dang! I have no TLRTs to award. All spaffed out again. IOU 1 x Laffing TLRT.

I know... it's the New Boots and Panties. Soz.

That we do agree on. I mean slap is not the same without a bit of tickle. It's just cheese without the pickle.

No need to excuse me, I have a rep to maintain after all. I was the bad boy of a major aeronautical engineering publishing office... I was Technical Arthur! Fear me. (See fig 1) Fig 1

Amazing. It is little wonder Bowie had so many space cadets following him when you read that. However... I'd like to point out that, at the time David, Captain Tom's spaceship would have had less computing power than a washing machine much less the merest glimpse of a notion of the direction in which it needed to go. So there.

Now that you've dressed it a bit it is looking good. That will be an asset for lots of workpieces. A slurry and buff finish after you've christened it with coffee stains perhaps?

Let's hope no-one swaps their kazoos* for Shewees®. I've never licked one myself and I'm not about to either. *If you've never seen a kazoo and a Shewee® side by side you might want to familiarise yourself with their respective functions before you decide that they are interchangeable.

It was a duet.

I found that oddly comforting. Without wanting to sound both racist and geographically incorrect it reminded me of pleasant family evenings dining at a Chinese restaurant in Dun Laoghaire in the early seventies. I was ten.

The Kids Are All Right. Oh really? So you can ask a question of any child and get both a truthful and factual answer every time. Okaaaaay...

That's the very nature of TAB. It's open to interpretation whereas notation (score) locks down the finer details if you can be ãrsed to learn it. Even then however, you won't often find a definitive set of notes and measures for a popular song in TAB or even score without paying... and even then it may not be the version that you have in mind. I use my ear to try and fill in the blanks. A fellow member, @PaulWarning, recommends that you play the tune at a slightly higher speed than normal without pitch correction. That way the bassline is pulled into a more audible frequency range and should stand out better. Covers... should you aim for accuracy or something that you can handle and still carry it off? Sounds like a new thread in the making. Remember, what seems right today may not seem so tomorrow. Relax a little and develop your style.

The Zebrano would be a nice touch. It emphasizes grain in the smaller area of the headstock where Ash might not reveal much grain. What does your son think?

Wasn't that about Rigsby's cat?
