[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1387378867' post='2311294'] It certainly is. I think it's a Japanese Robben Ford model. [/quote] How long has he had it? looks very similar to the one I sold about 5 years ago. That was a Jap Ford prototype (had a little RF2 on the truss cover) Fabulous guitars (and rare now) Sorry to get off topic here. Great band you got there.

Nice, Is that a Fender Esprit your guitarist is using?

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386095057' post='2295707'] My mate is on his 6th brand new MIM Fender twin in 6 months, and that's gone wrong now too. [/quote] That's the problem with the Made in Macclesfield Fenders. Unreliable -
Haven't hit play (yet) as I remember that awful jacket. This has to be the definitive live version. It's incredible. Thanks for reminding me.

Kn0b or not, genius or not, boring or not (all subjective) He put the hours in and can play, and is definately a part of rock music history. He is what he is and love him or hate him, he contributed, unlike the million ultra-fast bedroom guitarists on You tube that don't. I like him.

Gigged a Deville for about 4 years over here. Ultimate in clean but unfortunately it was the 2 x 12 60 watter and became impossible to lift into the car. Only reason I sold it. -

For a start, I'd name the band, and then put exactly what you posted here on Face book It'll soon get round, and get back to the band. No-one likes bad publicity and it may prompt an offer to put things right.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386012942' post='2294633'] An interesting little experiment innit Think I'll title my album the same Also, a good way to remember how to spell Savile correctly lies in the second syllable. [/quote] Thanks, I'm sure I'll remember that (the spelling that is, not your album )

An OLP Stingray 5. Bought from Josh on BC. Sounds great, feels great, stands me in £80 plus a drop of petrol and I can gig it anywhere with no worries about damage etc. None of the dear stuff gets a look in now. If I could have one bass back that I sold though, it would be my old Status 6 string from 10 years ago.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1385935407' post='2293910'] Blimey it's quiet in ere. Obviously not very impressive. Maybe it needs a new title .. [/quote] Well, that certainly seemed to work although I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that folks thought it more interesting with the Saville header

I know what you mean about the backing track. Eric Johnson does something like putting his 3rds on the top of his chords and this has the same feel to it. Agree anyway, fabulous phrasing. One to watch.

Nope, never heard of him. It says he won Guitar idol. Well deserved by the sound of it. Beautiful player. Throws the lot in. One minute he's in some mode from outer space and the next he's blues scale and it all just seems to gel and work. Great fluidity and a serious command of the fretboard. Lovely playing, but no doubt there'll be a further 70 posts explaining where he's going wrong Looks like he's playing a Squier too. Mine doesn't sound like that!! Funnily enough, I didn't pay too much attention to the rest of the composition so I guess that means his playing held my attention for the whole 5 minutes although for the intro chords it did sound as though David Sanborne might start playing

Recently bought (as middle man again) an HK PA from Lee. Despite problems with payment going astray and him having it stuck at his house for two weeks after second payment, finally got it picked up. What a nice understanding and patient guy. Top man and a real gent. Great deal and over the moon with the PA. A pleasure to deal with, Thanks Keith

Bit different than usual as it was on guitar. A duo with a female singer so nowhere to hide Went down well and picked up a private gig for next Saturday in some chateau, where we'll apparently be playing to the owner and 20 guests so not exactly Woodstock but sounds like fun with probably nice food. Great to have the opportunity to play stuff like Fly me to the moon, Got you under my skin, Girl (boy) from Ipanema etc. Might even help my bass playing a bit with all these chords.

Never heard of them before but having looked at the for sale section, by some quirky miracle, he has the ONLY Precision bass I've ever thought looked attractive The 79 Antigua) I hate Precisions but that one, is seriously cool

Listen up Basschat ...... We want woolly hats !

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1384888732' post='2281953'] Look, it's simple, really. We even have a model all ready and waiting... [attachment=148765:Jaco_Hat.jpg] Here's the instructions ('borrowed' from Kerry Ann Simpson, at '[url="http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-551-1.html"]Knitting Paradise[/url]'...)... [color=#800080]-- I think I used size 10 U.S., 16" circular needles; -- C/O a number divisible by 6, say 72 or 84 (depending upon size of head, yarn, etc. I think I cast on 78 or 84 for average man's size head. (So, place a marker after every 14th stitch for 84 stitches -- six sections around the circle). -- Join yarn and start with a garter stitch, then switch to a st. st. after about an inch. -- Change colors every few rows. -- When the hat measures about 6" from the c/o row, decrease 6 stitches evenly every row until there are 6 stitches left (change to dps at about 36 sts.) -- Cut yarn and weave end through last 6 stitches and tie off on wrong side. -- Weave in ends. And, that's about it.[/color] ...which gives us this... [attachment=148766:Jaco_Hat_1.jpg] ...so just get knitting, OK..? Yes, you can sew a 'BC' patch on, when it's done. Yes, you can change the colours (a little, not too much...). Yes, it's good for metal, too. Yes, it's fretless (well, has caused me no worries up to now, at least...). Yes we can. Yes, girls are allowed to knit/own/wear one, too. Yes, Milty, you can use the colours of any flag you wish. Yes; may be worn left-handed. [/quote] Ah, if it had been a five string, I'd have had it. -
I'm confused now. Is this Strat mint condition, or mint coloured or mint flavoured? and where does the custard fit in?

What's the point of this? What am I missing here?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384810721' post='2281082'] It's for playing country and western. [/quote] -
Things you don't want to hear before a gig....

"The bride's Dad's favourite song is Mustang Sally and he's going to get up and sing it." "You'll have to change in there, I think there's a dry bit in the corner" The organiser has had to leave but don't worry about the money" "I've just seen the DJ's setlist, and it's the same as ours" "P.A? I thought you were supplying that!" "Is it going to be that loud all night? (when you've put on a quiet background CD) And as a dep guitarist once said to me "That's not the setlist I was sent! -

Never Mind Reasonable.. How Excellent Is This!

I know, I know, hair, spandex, pointy headstocks an all. Not for cleaning the kitchen, but driving. Guaranteed I'll be over any speed limit within 1 minute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-77j0Qw41s -
Would you turn down a gig with Miles Davis.
leschirons replied to ambient's topic in General Discussion
How much is he paying? and do we have to change in the toilets?
