  1. Some of mine never require adjustment, even when I restrung one of the E-C from B-G. Another one needs a tweak with the changing of the seasons (at least it did in my old house, things might be different now). Maybe the way forward is to go down the Vigier route and not have a truss rod at all.
  2. Charlie Chandler is your best port of call for advice, I reckon https://ccgx.co.uk/plek/
  3. S'art innit. I don't rate Modigliani*, but I understand he's a bit good and others think he's wonderful. I don't mind Nickleback, some of it's fine, some I find a bit trite. For my tastes, I've heard worse, much worse. *Ransom abstract artist chosen for effect, other artists are available.
  4. I always check. Changed back to slightly lower tension flat ties on my Mustang yesterday, 1/4 turn or so required to remove the buzz. All fine and dandy today.
  5. Wishing I Was Lucky - Wet x 3
  6. I don’t understand the Nickleback hate, they make a decent noise and can sing in tune. It does seem ‘rock trendy’ to not like them, but they still fill (or at least filled) stadia. Coldplay on the other hand 🤮 😆.
  7. Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran
  8. Wee Ezette turns 40 next year. Where did half of those years go? I was awake and everything, doesn’t seem real (no doubt, a good proportion of that time was spent on BC!). Lovely photo of you two @AndyTravis teen years incoming! Have fun with that
  9. Bomber - Mötorhead
  10. They are a great addition to the site. For sale items don’t slip under the radar now. Great for sellers, not so good for GAS.
  11. My favourite configuration, in short, yes.
  12. Takes practice, I’ll grant you and can lead to some embarrassment when you forget to reset it (been there, forgot that), but worth the effort IMO. Or just leave as is and use an octave pedal if really necessary.
  13. Keep the P and the Limelight. The Limelight is the best sounding J you have it seems, so should easily cover everything the other 4 string does. The 5 goes because you’re playing less and likely to be gigging less too. If you need the extended range, fit a D tuner to the Limelight.
  14. I always feel that the move to bigger fretwire has been driven by the guitar market. I much prefer narrower, vintage frets and can only think that going thinner would be a good thing. Valley Arts did a Sklar, Frankie alike, signature back in the day, as did Gibson.

    Me neither, but it appears vndb is the bass player (you'd probably found this out already). Here's a link to his FB page https://www.facebook.com/VBNDmusic and a video of his band live in downtown Saskatoon.
  16. Turn to Stone - Joe Walsh (one of my all time favourite tracks).
  17. Under Pressure - Queen/Bowie
  18. It took me a few seconds to work out that this is not a miniature bass.
  19. Janie’s Got A Gun - Aerosmith
  20. Digging in the Dirt - Peter Gabriel
  21. Cash On The Barrel Head - The Louvin Brothers
  22. I went on the site just to see how much they were and added one to the basket and then went to checkout by mistake! Pulled back from the brink, brought on, not by GAS, but by fat fingers! PHEW! Close one. 😰
  23. Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
  24. Jimmy Haslip of the Yellowjackets and other bands, is another ‘skinny strings up’ IIRC.
