  1. Nobody has mentioned that Duran Duran's bass sound was dreadful. all mids and nothing else. Disappointing, I thought.
  2. How about one in the MM position, one in the p (sweet spot) and one in the woofer spot? That would cover a lot of bases, and basses.
  3. I ended up hairdrying it on the guitar and pressing it down with my fingers, which worked pretty well. I pressed one bit down with a glass, which didn't go so well as it left Slight impression. Won't do that again!
  4. The squire and Ashdown ain't too bad either
  5. Any mistake can be fixed, one way or another. Just take care, it will be fine.
  6. International standard match fitness!
  7. It wouldn't have sounded the same played on guitar, the envelope of the notes is just different. I thought it was pleasant great tone, a nice chilled start to the morning.
  8. I was thinking "Caramac" myself. Mmmm!
  9. I've recently found adding a link ina reply freezes the page, this is using w8 and explorer. Is this a current known issue? Tried it on 2 different PCs, home and work
  10. I've had my hankering for the Yamaha SGV range rekindled by the new Dr. Who series: SGV300 in canary yellow is nice.
  11. Wow! That's some serious birdseye!
  12. I wonder if anyone has tried a domestic iron on very low heat? might do the same as the oven trick?
  13. How about the scratchplate though? Seriously though, did you heat it whilst it was screwed to the guitar or off the guitar with some freestyle bending? (if that's a thing)
  14. I've got a fair few M3 hex stainless set screws you can have if they do turn out to be metric. No rust issues on these little chaps!
  15. I'm doing some work on an 85 MIJ Ibanez Roadstar 11 guitar, the plate on which has warped somewhat. It's single ply black. Any top tips for getting it straight again? I know some plastics have a "memory" and will revert to their original moulded shape under heating. Cheers MBA
  16. I found that too at Ronnie Scott's last week at the Bebel Gilberto show - I looked round the room and I was the ONLY person grooving along in my seat. Eventually I stood up and grooved along at the bar with apparently the only other person in there with a pulse
  17. Or a small multi-fx and do away with the board altogether?
  18. I like HATN a lot, but never REALLY liked Miller's guitar tone. The notes are fine though. There's one or two other British guitarists of the jazz/rock scene that were good but had horrible tone, I'm thinking Gary Boyle for one...
  19. Good result!
  20. I'm sure I've seen strap buttons on the headstock of some older Precisions, but I've never seen one being utilized either.
  21. This may be bringing to light that you have one or more slightly high frets in that region now the strings are lying closer to the board. Try rocking the frets with the short edge of a credit card to check.
  22. Attach the strap at the head like they used to do with acoustic guitars?
