  1. Ibby SR... #5... I know, again... But i does like em...
  2. ...clearly... you are a robot...
  3. My Boy Lollipop...
  4. Down With The Sickness - Disturbed... Sickness has returned... Ooh Wah Ah Ah Ah.. Gonna get told off, so soon after the EDB700... but... but... but... Birthday?
  5. They gonna swap or refund? Souldn't be £37 short for 3mm long! At least that explains things...
  6. I'd check the measurements, string, box, website... Possible an over-long rogue set? Is there a difference in length to the old set, or just how they are (or not) tuning up? - Gauge Change?
  7. ...nah... i think i'll leave it... i was in two minds about replying as it was...
  8. I'd go wood... softer than the body and neck... more of a compression deform 'Gasket' rather than a harder wood or plastic that would be more 'Spacer'... Also don't like or see the need for the plastic shield on a neck plate.
  9. Urban Guerilla - Hawkwind
  10. May i take the 6/Angled? Would sort out my Joyo Iron Men...
  11. Oranges & Lemons - Trad
  12. Arai, Westone... 80's
  13. The neck on mine (Aria Pro II) was defo more Jazz... 38mm at the nut. And with 60mm at the bridge, quite a taper...
  14. Nut can usually accommodate a little change, as brands may also differ in thickness... So if you have gone from a std 45-65-85-105 Rounds to say a 45-65-80-100 Flats... Check for a twisted string, do you wind a wind round the peg by hand, this can introduce a twist... slacken off a string, pull down to the bridge and see if you can un-turn half a turn at the ball end... Witness points, tune- up and a light press - lighter with flats - at the bridge and nut contact points. Saddles, got any silk over the saddle? If the above don't fix it, trip back with a razor blade, although this may expose a rough join...
  15. Sweet Short Scale Project for the winter nights... cheeky £50 offer? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/151463874705573
  16. I think the BBOT bridge on my Aria Jazz Modder is 20... certainly feels wider than the norm.. i'll check and get some dim's as dunno if the back 5 screws are F spaced, although it has 2 up front... Little grooves for the saddles... I can do a bridge swap or cheap £ to just replace... postage?
  17. Todays progress is fuelled by Nescafé Dolce Gusto, Americano Intenso -Short, Black and Cremá Bit of Dremmel action... ...some of that anti-gravity paint... Back in the game!..
  18. <back to the build / modder thread>
  19. Jack gave a helping hand...
  20. Inspired by the motivational comment by @Hellzero... and the contemplation of foresight offered by @tauzero Supported by my new sponsor, over the course of a couple of hours,I made a mess on the living room floor... half watching some Moto2 from Aus... Too late for the Dremel... and Remember, Do not operate Power Tools when 'moderate'... stick to a wobbly-whirly... As for what went wrong? Zero!.. see what i did there!
  21. Mmm... what could possibly go wrong?.. Let's 'ave some 'oles... I might be a while....
  22. Hold my Beer... were goin' in Armed only with a wobbly-wirry and a 7mm flat bottom drill, biggest that will go in the wobbly's chuck... Oh for a pillar drill... Might be a while taking all these down 8mm...
