  1. Just fabulous!
  2. I cannot even smile and play at the same time.
  3. I had reached the stage of a new nut and would probably need individual bridge pieces for the radius. What I am thinking of would be getting newtone strigns to wind me a set of 41" roundwounds. I'm not sure the gut frets would last too long. Of course this would be an expensive experiment which might not be "all that" in the end!
  4. On further thought, intonating a bridge on an already existing EUB for fretted work would be a total pain and would mean a radical bit of wood surgery
  5. His books are superb.
  6. I have an NS eub which gets an innordinate amount of love from sound engineers every time I drag it out. I would happily buy a 6 string one to do the bottom F# thing if I could see if the fretted thing worked.
  7. Yes, I know that it is not a concept which immeadiately springs to mind, but being a DB player I really like the facilty my right hand has over an arched fingerboard. I have an old DB neck complete with fingerboard which I could easily (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!) knock up into an EUB thing. Would fretting a curved fingerboard be do-able as a retro fit job. NS design do one so it is do-able but who would undertake such a job? Is this my stupidest idea yet?
  8. Sadness all round

  11. I'll take the 4 string set if they are still there. PM me your PP. Thanks.
  12. Mr 10 had a CD I fancied. I paid, it came. It is all good
  13. [quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1363954636' post='2020052'] Declaring an interest as I am his pal and put the money up to publish it, Deke Leonard's [b]Rhinos Winos and Lunatics[/b]. It turned him from a guitarist (with Welsh band Man) to an author, and he's since written two more. He has a Facebook page for his latest effort, [b]The Twang Dynasty[/b] - [url="http://www.facebook.com/twangdynastybook"]http://www.facebook.com/twangdynastybook[/url]. In terms of mixing music, info and humour I really think he's in a class of his own. [/quote] The Twang Dynasty is a fantastic read. Passionately written by someone who knows his stuff.
  14. I was told by the keyboard player recently that he couldn't hear the difference between any of them. Significantly closer to the truth than any of us would want to admit! Are there differences? Obv yes, but in the mix to an ear that does not care, not really much of a difference. I would keep the Sadowsky.
  15. [quote name='Digestive10' timestamp='1363966009' post='2020280'] CD for Chic completeists £5.00 + £1.50 for postage. [attachment=130715:100_0591.JPG] [/quote] Yes please. Paypal?

    I really like the phone format on my phone but it has defated to full version. Any idea how to go back to simplicity? TIA
  20. I drive a V reg estate with 150K on the clock. It gets me where I need to go. Would I enjoy a Bentley? I think I would

    Bongo Fever

    I have owned 3 so am qualified to comment. The electrics really are something else. If I could buy those seperately I would be all over them like a bad rash. Stupendous sound. The lower horn dug into my leg when sitting down. I play sitting down enough for it to be an issue so am no longer Bongoed up. It does roar though.
  22. Strung with Roto Trubass strings (the black plastic coated ones. Super light and lots of fun to play. Great for small hands. Black. I have pics but cannot make my phone talk with photobucket at the moment so will get them up when I have sorted that.
