total props! that looks the bollocks!

This was a new one on me, I thought it was a typo when I first saw it: Fender Marauder. Gibson surely? NO!

If you can find a s/h one (there's a guy wanting to trade one on Oxford's Nightshift pages) +1 to the Godin Solidac that someone on here was selling for £300 Mine was about £770 new and I don't think I'd let mine go for that. Covers a lot of bases and a bit off piste too

Another from Mr Holdsworth. This is concise, and the phrasing is just great. Starts around 2.47 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMu7XUc9OcI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMu7XUc9OcI[/url]

is the first harmonic of that note exactly where the pickup is situated? If the setup is such that it is prompting that harmonic at that point, the pickup would be at a node in the string's vibration, and appear very quiet.

Finally bought Mike's Eggle Berlin Pro (guitar!). A perfect gent to do business with. Cheers. Jules

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1345205066' post='1774933'] Yes, he does. It's too much of a classic solo not to. [/quote] totally agree! A friend's band does Another Brick in the Wall and doesn't play "the" solo. Ruins it imho!

[i]Still [/i]trying to nail the guitar solo on this. It's a thing of beauty when Larry Carlton plays it, just a thing when I try! Does NDs guitarist play it verbatim from the record?

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1345192443' post='1774696'] My OH uses a glass one, our guitarist in the band uses a brass one. To be honest, I think the glass one gives a softer tone, the[b] brass one sounds brassier [/b]and harsher in my mind. depends on the sound you are going for. [/quote]

Digging the offset Spector style "inlays" on Gaf's one too!

My normal happy face, combined with surprise that someone would want to take my Picture!

I like it. I used to go and see quite a lot of it. I even dragged my mum (well, she IS a composer) along to see John Stevens and Allan Holdsworth playing a lot more chaotic stuff than this back in about 1980 at the 100 Club.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1343657783' post='1753205'] Agree with the above comments but... don't think you should change your name. The essence of basschat is that you become known by your username (mostly). [/quote] Yeah, I think I'll stick with it. I'm quite attached to it!

From: The New Moon To: Charms Against the Evil Eye (!) what do we think? Do I need to change my User Name?

Have they stopped trying to be Queen v2.0?

It would help so much if you mentioned the model of your amp and the one you tried out in the shop.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1342693065' post='1739325'] I started giving the strings a wipe down after playing when this kept happening to me. It didn't help as much as I'd hoped. So I started spraying a bit of WD-40 on them as well. This changed everything.(Because I have acidy gallagher type sweat) Also once had to smooth out the saddles on my old Ibanez to stop snappage. Helped as well. [/quote] Did you spray the WD-40 on a cloth first? I find it goes everywhere other than where I want it normally

[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1342367844' post='1733823'] That looks cool, really nice colour. I was a little disappointed to see no horns but nevermind. [/quote] Bet you would if you saw him playing it naked!

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1341923731' post='1726226'] Can you get USA Teles that are not string thru? [/quote] well, I did wonder. It wasn't quite as expensive as I would have expected, but don't know if it was brand new.

All good stuff gents, thanks. It is a 6 saddle bridge, and thinking about it, he does break strings on the acoustic a lot too (S&P with a tusq bridge). Maybe Commando Jack has a good point with the strumming technique and thumb thing... There are a lot of detunings from standard to drop D and, I think, DADGAD sometimes. This probably doesn't help either... I'll look at the winding length thing too, cheers Big Stu
