Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense film apparently had some post-production work. IIRC, as I haven't watched it for years, it is fairly obvious that the video itself is an amalgamation of several nights' concerts but the audio also had some 'editing and fine-tuning', I don't know how much. The albums are pretty much separate tracks and not pretending at all to be a continuous live concert. Still one of the best-ever performances by a band, though.

...and 'this' is also how much of a **** he'll give about you when he's done it.

KT Tunstall is listed as the the bassist -and most of the other instruments - on at least one of her albums.

Thanks Gareth and 40hz, the various woods running along the centre look similar to some Ibanaz, hence why I wondered. Also thanks for showing the original photo that's on his t-shirt - now I know what it is I can just make out 'Down In The Tube Station At Midnight' at the top of the t-shirt. One of the greatest songs written - not just by The Jam but by anyone, it's so well-crafted and tells a complete story.

A great photo, just taken at the moment and not posed (I'm assuming). Where was it taken and who is the other guy? (Apologies if he's famous and everybody recognises him). More q's: Is that an Ibanez and did Bruce ever use one in The Jam? What's on his t-shirt? I thought it was The Jam at first, which would be a bit narcissistic, but it looks as if there are 4 people on it. The writing on it is unclear.

Using your initial figures of 18mm string-spacing and 16.5mm pickup spacing would put each of the inner strings 0.75mm outboard of their pickup, with each of the outer strings 2.25mm outboard of their pickup. These figures are just the centres of the strings and polepieces so will be less in reality as they do not account for string diameter or pole-piece diameter. As said, the pickups have staggered polepieces so this would further spread any discrepancy. Also, I used your initial measurement at the bridge - the slightly narrower string spacing at the pickups will obviously reduce things a small amount again. I wouldn't worry about it at all, get them bought and fitted.

Was only joking about BofS wars (hard to convey intonation in writing). Where do you get your bulk stuff from, please?

Definitely better than the Allparts, I'll keep them in mind. There must be something available in the UK; not necessarily purpose-made markers but some suitable material. The ones I saw on the replica at the guitar show were brown-grey and seemed slightly less monotone than these ready-made ones. I should have asked him how he made them! Thanks for looking, though, I do appreciate it.

I realise it's chemically the same (the baking stuff will have some raising agents added) but the household cleaning type is usually available in more useful quantities and is more cost-effective. Let's not start some big 'Bicarb of Soda War'. I think the problem with Febreze, Shake 'n' Vac and similar is that they contain a lot of perfume to mask smells but dont effectively neutralise the cause and properly clean the material. There's a lot to be said for natural cleaning products.

Thanks, @ikay, I hadn't seen those Allpart ones despite my extensive Googling. I have to agree that they don't look the part, though. The search continues...
