  1. Enjoyed that clip, we need to hear more 🙏
  2. Hey @Andyjr1515, thanks for the reply, and very sorry to hear about the arthritis, not a nice thing especially given your line of work. Thanks for the heads up re the thread which hadn't occured to me, I'll post there 👍
  3. If anyone's interested in this with the East MMSR circuit give me a shout before I restore it to stock and list on eBay 👍
  4. Gentle nudge to the top, suspect this'll probably have to go to eBay quite soon
  5. I have two almost identical fretless Warmoth necks, they’re both trusty old friends and I’d quite like to fret one of them. Can anyone here do the work for me, preference would be to simply put the neck in the post. Idea of timescales and costs would be helpful 👍
  6. I very much doubt it Jack. I buy stuff with the best of intentions but occasionally it just goes into the void. No joke, I found a Beat Buddy - brand new and boxed - the other day, and remembered that my wife panicked one Xmas having not bought me anything so I bought it for her to give to me but completely forgot about it!
  7. I’ll dig it out mate 👍
  8. That is so f***ing dangerous, does that f***ing idiot not know what can can take place between flares and a bike chain when trouser clips have been irresponsibly left out of the equation 😡
  9. You can expect a visit from the BTP (Basschat Thought Police) sometime soon 👍
  10. It seems unlikely that scale length per se is a problem, but how you choose to manage that scale length certainly can be.
  11. 1/4s are shockingly small, to the point that I'd be pretty surprised if a normal sized adult could play one to any degree of satisfaction without developing some pretty nasty habits both postural and technical
  12. Many thanks @Sean, hope all's well mate I think an HX Stomp might be a little more than I need (and can justify spending). I'm wondering whether the Tech 21 VT Deluxe might get the job done, I've owned one before (albeit for different reasons) and found it pretty easy and versatile. No comp or course but I think I'm more in need to switching EQ/tone in real terms?
  13. If you fancy a further insight into the seller check out their feedback....... 🤣
  14. I think I've got one going spare, I'll have a look 👍
  15. I’m guessing same is true with some brass also. It’s interesting, in sport there’s been a lot of work done on inclusion of left-handed/footed athletes (advantageous in some, disadvantageous in others). In some sports such as crew rowing forced handedness is a fact of life (half the crew have the oar to the right, half to the left, while oar to right appears to be the ‘natural’ configuration for most people). interesting fact, the word sinister is derived from Latin (IIRC) for left handed 🙂
  16. It is isn’t it, also true of acoustic guitars, although mechanically less problematic 👍
  17. Ah yeh, we had the same problem, Billy Idol’s mum was quite pushy IIRC 👍
  18. ….and if I had £2k I’d be all over it 👍
  19. IMO ‘Players Grade’ means it’s not a collector’s instrument
  20. Yep, start there 👍
  21. Great thread On stage at City Poly early-mid 80s. My hair was somewhere between Mike Peters and Tony James Largely as the result of lot of...... ....that my them GF, a stylist, used to apply for me Anyway, mid gig, I became aware of two things going on at much the same time 1. A weird, sickly, smouldering smell 2. The audience paying an unusual amount of attention to the bass player So, transpires that Andy, the keyboard player, had nonchalantly flicked a cigarette across the stage, by luck it had been caught in my 14-18" high barnet, had apparently smouldered there a while before igniting the spray with the result that my hair had pretty much started to melt. Guitarist helpfully came over and put it out with a few hefty downward pats to my cranium. Frankly I wish we'd had a malfucntioning smoke machine to hide it all, it was not a good look at any level. Had it all cropped off a few days later, nothing to do with health & safety and everything to do with minimising the chance that anyone who'd been at the gig would recognise me 👍
  22. Glad it’s all worked out nicely @chriswareham 👍
