  1. Keep a watchful eye on the classifieds here. There's a Gotoh 201B bridge that I'd go for now. Superb bits of kit. If you are in no rush then drop in to the Other Musical Items regularly and you'll soon be kitted with top notch parts.
  2. I bought one on Kindle and was delighted by the words but didn't realise there are no graphics in an eBook. Hugely disappointed but the words more than make up for it.
  3. Actually, I think all blokes over school age look ridiculous in shorts.
  4. The neck/fingerboard worries me. The overhang of the fingerboard must mean it's longer but there are no additional frets. I am wondering what effect this has on the intonation as I reckon the frets higher up must be in the wrong place.
  5. Very interesting but there are no details of what the 'chargeable extras' actually are. That would be helpful (as I am interested). Do you carry it or are there any wheels (can't see any)? Talking about the 3 bass case.
  6. I think we have a member who owns one of these. He'll be along presently I expect.
  7. Pino Palladino recorded the recent Who tracks with just such a beast.
  8. Mind you. I am in almost bound to be in a minority of one when I say that the Rolling Stones are my choice for that accolade.
  9. How dare you. I may have to offer violence over that. 🙂
  10. It's simple for those of us more 'gifted' (and then I woke up!).
  11. This. The quality of Japanese stuff is exceptional. I have owned a good number of them over the years and the build quality has been very high without exception. I've not encountered a bad one. Bought them all 'blind' as well.
  12. I am assuming you are talking about the physio's advice! There are a couple of ways of reading that.. 🙂
  13. Blimey. Howzat!! I did see one of these in use at a World Cup game last year. Pointless. Utterly pointless.
  14. I did the colour coding too. All the PA cables (ours is active) are lilac - bought very reasonably from Studiospares own brand.
  15. Perfect logic. I am similar, to the extent that when I agreed to have a bass made for me, I explained I had to order two (and don't regret it at all).
  16. Someone has already mentioned Russ Ballard. I remember an early Precision (1956 I believe) being advertised on eBay that looked perfect but the description mentioned it had been heavily drilled underneath the scratchplate to lighten it.
  17. That sounds very like a Ki0gon loom.
  18. It was on BBC1 so I guess it could be on iPlayer. Agreed about Macca and Elton John - pretty awful in both cases. Probably significant but the better performances appeared to be artists using studio quality gear as opposed to (apparently) just a phone.
  19. I have to say he impressed me with that. Up to that point I'd always thought of him in the same way as the character Grossbereger from the film Stir Crazy.
  20. A great initiative and some of the performances were really good. Some were decidedly average!! Gives us all hope!!
  21. I have wondered along similar lines myself. Does a digital amp use the same amps as a valve amp of the same output, bearing in mind a lot of energy goes into running the valves. Not exactly your question but along similar lines.
