GAK have the roadworn, classic vibe, and loads of other stock I know its not in your area but I took a day trip on the train, a wander round gak, round the lanes, a walk on the pier, lunch out nice day out

Its a funny looking thing E mail Ashdown and they will send you one, I had to do mine last year and they were very helpfull

just bought Floyds red precision, no problems, nice guy to deal with

You should always approach it in a business like manner unless you are jamming down the pub for nothing. As others have said, there are things you can claim for to offset against any earnings. Find out what you can claim for, travel, equipment and all the other costs, and then keep receipts and records. I use an old program called quicken, and it shows all my incomings and outgoings over the years. The most important thing is for you to sit down on a regular basis and record all those incomings and outgoings. Its easy enough to drag out the receipt for your bass or amp, but you wont remember the stamps for publicity, or the hire of a rehearsal space, the batteries for your effects, BGM from Smiths unless you make a habit of regularly entering these up. Many years ago a friend of mine was caught as a solo organ player who used to play in a pub every couple of weeks. The IR caught up with him, and assesed his earnings as huge figure. Jack didnt even know how many times he had played there over the years, and there was talk that the landlord had been entering Jacks and other peoples gigs through the books far more times than they had actually played. He had to pay a fortune in back tax. By and large Ive always found the revenue fairly reasonable, if you approach them in a reasonable manner

nice

No its not dipping it, you should soak it and use a little soap as a lubricant.

I saw robbie gladwell play sylvia at one of the music shows a while ago and couldnt get the tune out of my mind for weeks. I like focus although Im not keen on the yodelling

Make sure the paint is hard/dry. You can get rid of the imperfections with fine wet and dry Think that could look rather nice

im also a precision man if the quality of my us lakland jo osborne is anything to go by a us bob glaub may be worth looking at

Ive always been surprised they didnt do a ltd edition run of these lots of people have expressed an interest and it cant be that hard to do

nice collection, like the lakland

im a bit confused, have you used a primer before you use the blue?

[quote name='Spoombung' post='871603' date='Jun 19 2010, 11:16 AM']The forum looks interesting but as it's American all the products will incur extra duty when dispatched to the UK so I'm going to look for somewhere closer to home[/quote] [url="http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/lacquer.html"]http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/lacquer.html[/url] Stockist

Bought a seymour duncan pickup from Lozz Arrived in 24 hrs well packed Top Man

There has been a noise issue for Herbie for a while although its seems to have eased recently but dont bother with your shea stadium rig At one stage he was acoustic at weekends I played shadows there tonight great pub

What happened to Barry?

is this a dubs design ? I do quite fancy building one of Bills I saw someone had done a jack but put a front on so it looks more like a conventional box. One in white or tolex would look quite cool I fitted my deltalite into my ashdown C110 last week and lined the cab. Only usedit in the house so far. Those emminence neos are really nicely built

theres two skyline duck dunns been advertised, precision bodys with jazz necks, great basses if you want a smaller neck i think one had a jazz bass pick up fitted as well
