  1. Here's a MetroExpress headstock. I kid you not. (Pic pinched from NAMM thread on TB)
  2. They're utterly dreadful. They really need to stop.
  3. What Darryl plays on the verse here is broadly what I'm hearing on the original. Not just R5R5R5R5R5 (or 5R5R5R5R5R..)
  4. I suspect this chap carefully stuffed socks into his ears prior to working out the bass part.
  5. Unfortunately I can never hear past Ian Mosley's skittish shed building.
  6. 'Paint It, Black' Yours, A pedant
  7. Yep - I specified the neck profile and a non-raked headstock w/string tree for mine.
  8. Both great pickups. IME, the Haeussel P was a little more polite. The bridge pickup in my Sunburst (with the Haeussels) was a split-coil J, which sounded 'traditional PJ'. The Maruszczyk fat humbucker is a different beast entirely.. a high output punch monster.
  9. If they're the stock Maurszczyk pickups, you're in for a treat.
  10. Are any of those premium brands, that have introduced stuff retailing for less than 800 quid..?
  11. ...which seemed to be a surprise to Roger Sadowsky. Ha ha. This is a really odd development. Fact is, it's going to devalue the brand, but I guess Roger is planning his exit route.
  12. I'm seriously considering sticking an order in for another PJ. Something like this.
  13. Yep... in the cold light of Blu-Ray, The last few tours are for the hardcore only.
  14. This will not be news to many people. Here's Neil's take on it from 2012. Source.
  15. I'm devastated. Nothing more I can say.
  16. FWIW, your situation definitely isn’t unique.
  17. This is so sad. Tommy is a lovely guy, so whatever situation he's in is a real shame for him, and of course you. I really hope it's sorted in a happy way ASAP.
  18. Judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aetwIKe3Ec
  19. I watched that DVD last night (Live in Montreux). IMO it sounds nothing like his Ric. And when he switches to the Ric on some songs, it kind-of hammers the point home
  20. No, but I don't recall them setting the world alight... I remember someone won one, and struggled to sell it...?
  21. ...as for the OP, I'm not Ashdown's biggest fan, but I like the look of these*. Curious to try one. *The brass saddles freak me out a bit, mind.
  22. ..by the people who are trying to sell them, by any chance?
  23. Meant to post this a little while back, but forgot. We did a charity gig in St. Nicholas Cathedral in Newcastle, and were joined by a choir for a few tunes. Obviously the acoustics are astonishing (and challenging), and it was gorgeous.
  24. Well done - it's made a huge difference. It sounds much more authentic now.
  25. Wow... you can hear the difference straight away. Nice one. What did you do?
