Hi- I'm after a lightweight cab solution for smallish pub/club type gigs. Thinking of maybe a couple of Ashdown RM112T's. Can any users comment on how they get on with them? I have to say they seem a bit flimsy to me - I know this may well go with the territory for lightweights, but couldn't stand anything rattly...😀 Amp is an Ashdown RM500... Do feel free to suggest better alternatives if you like.

I think it's important not to confuse the cheap superglue you buy from the newsagents with high spec products like Loctite 401, which is superb for bonding clean breaks in all wood species I've tried it on, including tropical hardwoods like pernambuco. Most bow makers/repairers I know have it in their toolbox.

Marks docked for getting the words wrong, though. A common fault with versions of this song.

I actually rather like that.

Don't be silly. Fripp is a fantastic musician. The videos are just light-hearted fooling around.

Agreed. At the risk of a right royal roasting, I’d say all their covers were better than the Clash’s awful version of “Police and Thieves”…

Thanks to all for the advice. Went for the cheapest Harley Benton, which seems very nice for the money.

Anyone have any experience with these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153945749521?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UIBzJOIHTQ-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=CI1PpRHrRV-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hi wondering if someone could guide me through the relative pros/cons of Hx effects vs Hx stomp vs pod go? apologies if old hat! cheers john

I like mojo, but that looks a bit too nitromorsy for me.

The neck dings are what would put me off.

I think the origin of the sunburst guitar finish was to emulate the appearance of such instruments.

A lot of people think that their old violins/violas/cellos look how they do because of natural wear and tear, when they were actually antiqued in the first place. It's not a recent trend - it goes back to the 19th century. Not saying this applies to yours, just making a general point.

My feeling is that investment potential is the only rational reason for paying through the nose for a vintage Fender. Mojo aside, I think modern repros offer much better value for money as playing instruments. Just my opinion, don't shoot me...😃

I'd be happy to pay half of what it would raise at auction, but I suspect that would be beyond my budget, even if I remortgaged the house.😃

Nice one! I find this fill the hardest part of the whole line.

Just wondering what fingering people use for the fill after the intro riff? The one that goes C- E flat1- F- A flat- Eflat 2? I find it easiest to stay in first position, and only go up for the high E flat. Tabs and you tubers all seem to go up to the lower E flat on the 6th fret of the A-string. What does Norman do?

Isn't it just a case of crap photos?

Whether or not "relic-ing" in general is your cup of tea, this is just really poor work.

The thing is, that's not hard to do. You just have to care about your work...🤷‍♂️
