I don't think the Chickenbackers use SD pickups - they're cheapos. @Bassassin?

Aye - it was the strap buttons I first noticed.

I don’t think that’s a Rickenbacker, nor his Ibanez.

Well, only the social media we don't like.🤔 I use Facebook and have bought & sold things there, met people, chatted with distant friends & family, got local info, etc., and it's beneficial. I'm about to go out for a jam with some folks from another site. I can't be doing with the daily diary, influenzas, stupid reels, and suchlike, though. I've used Twitter for trains info and that's about it. I don't know if I have accounts on the other mainstream ones.

This site is social media.

Well, I just can't listen to Status Quo, so they're out. I bought a bass amp off Martin Turner's son-in-law on Wednesday.

I did go to Knebworth in '79. Still got the T-shirt!

Must've been 76/77?

Brand X, 801, Colosseum II - that would've been something. Gong to send you to sleep. And then a bit of Gonzo to wake you up!

Latest funding incentive for the war effort...

It's generally a good idea to push the neck to position anyway and use the rod(s) to hold it in place. (Unless they're dual-action ones.) This chap explains the reasoning. Ric documentation used to say bend it over your knee, but using a bench and clamps is probably a bit more refined. On a Ric, keep both roughly in-step, ie. don't do all on one and have the other loose. Also, on a RIc, press on the fretboard (at the 1st fret), not on the headstock (since you've got the TRC off, you can see there's not a lot of wood there to be pushing against).

Crikey - I was chatting with the bloke on the stand at the recent Bristol Guitar Show and said I didn't understand why they were there, as they're the industry standard and everybody knows Hiscox. He also let me stand on a case!

Ooooh the okey-kokey...

I've had a couple of Carlsbro amps: Singray guitar and the Bass version with the push-button tones.

I bought a Washburn Status (fretted) new when they came out; it was OK, but not great. It went when I bought a real Status Graphite (which was in a totally different league!).

I tend not to buy advance tickets for anything, as you never know what might come up to get in the way of things. When I saw this one, I thought it didn't quite add up.

Hence why you hardly ever see them for sale! 🙂

TBH, I never much connected with Wals. But now I'd have one because they are desirable. Ain't that a thing...

Well, that takes the biscuit!

Ugly things and stupid money!

I think it was Chris Spedding on guitar and maybe Roxy's drummer.

@ash sold a 4001FL on here a few months ago - I forced myself not to bite!

I'd quite like a Gus; I had a go on @Happy Jack's some time ago - I think he said he acquired it from @BigRedX ?
