That's something worth considering. Was the block in place of the springs?

Back to school - Deftones

Agreed on the trem.it wasn't in stock with the rigid bridge. I won't fit the arm to the trem, all it'll do is put it out of tune.

I finally got around to actually buying one. I went for a CST 24 in the end which is a clone of the PRS Custom 24. The reviews were all extremely positive. It turned up this morning. It looks fantastic, really nice finish. The fret board is a bit dry so I'll put on some lemon oil, other than that I can't fault it. I plugged it in to a little Orange Micro Terror and it sounds amazing. For £210 I'm really impressed, for double that I'd be happy. It'll be my daughters Christmas present so I hope she likes it. I thought the dark green would suit her current goth phase.

Please, please, please let me get what I want - The Smiths Deftones cover version was better though

That's a dirty, dirty bass tone. Brilliant song

Satan - Orbital

I bought a Epiphone Thunderbird from them last year. Arrived next day, well packaged and for a very good price

Helllraiser - Motorhead

This might be of interest

So it does. That's a little later than my 1x15. The earlier ones were covered with carpet. I believe it's also about the same time Gibson bought Trace.

My Trace cabs from that era had Trace Elliot printed in white on the centre dome of each cone but I didn't have an 1153 (is that a 1x18? ). Looking on Google images, none of the 1153's seem have the printed centres.

Diamond Eyes - Deftones

She'll probably get one of them and then play Adele on it.

I'm at a point where I feel like I need to try lots of different gear to understand what works for me. I had a Fender Jazz MIM but didn't like it. I have a feeling it was just a bad one. I do seem to have settled on Orange amps but partly because I can't afford an Ampeg SVT Classic.

Solos are so last century. It's all about the break down now. Stamp on your dirtiest overdrive, palm mute and half time for 8 bars. One note is plenty, maybe too much.

Mercedes Marxist - Idles

Police Truck - Dead Kennedys

Song for the deaf - Queens Of The Stone Age

New album from Idles this morning. They've come on a long way since their first album but it still sounds great.

There is no worse sound than a YouTube slapper. A million notes a minute and it all sounds like a filing cabinet falling down a fire escape.

You have a sensible dog. I'd rather be stuck in a confined space with my dogs flatulence than listen to slap.

Change in the house of flies - Deftones

Summer Breeze - Type O Negative

Hurricane - Dylan
