Tempted, but why the stickers?!

Ah, TheRealRocker - yeah, I remember him. His grasp of the English language was, shall we say, unique...

By 'secretive', do we mean Razz? He does, indeed, have a guitar vault. Like some James Bond villian no doubt, replete with ninjas.

This is giving me some ideas Thanks for the heads-up on the Ebay store.

Video works fine if you got to Sil's channel and then load it.

As I said on BCRichplayers, great work Lorne

Yeah, spied this on the news - very excited!

Still early days, but we all seem reasonably relaxed - the guitarist possibly has a shade on us, but then we're [i]using[/i] him for the organisation, so who's really leading? We're very honest about the music. Yesterday I was too quiet, I was told; which, I explained, would account for your shoddy f***ing rhythmn then. I enjoy this patter

Some fairly basic questions, here, so please bear with me. Up until we moved house last year I had an old Laney 100W combo, of unknown diligence. It appeared as though a tramp had once dwelled within it, but it was suitably loud to have been played throughout my teenage years - and was one of the first things to come back out of storage. Alas, it was not long for the world; and I ended up replacing it with a small practice amp, 20W or so, which seemed more than enough to play around the house. However, it now the band are now very much along the road to getting sorted; I struggle with volume at rehearsals; and I'd die on my arse live. I'd previously posted about what brands I should be looking, for a stoner rock/doom vibe - and had had some good answers, around Trace Elliot, etc. What I should have asked was, should I be looking for head, amp, cab, combo, or whatever? I don't need some Bon Jovi-esque rig, but a nice wattage would be good; the facility to run my effects; and ultimately enough to fit into York and Leeds' finest small venues. Budget will run c.£500, borrowing a hundred from my "replace my 5-string or my spine" fund. I keep looking at our for sale section, but then am never sure what I should really be looking for beyond the branding. Thanks in advance, and sorry to ask another basic question!

I'd love to see him get a BC Rich Eagle, or Seagull - funky, solid-shapes. Not sure how much change he'd get out of £500 for a decent one. My two: Or a smattering: No idea where you'd find one; however, it was as good an opportunity as any to show decent BCRs are not all points. If you get one, you're my hero What about the ESP? Ltd Les Paul? I know Epiphone do a few flavours also - Goth, which isn't my cup of tea; standard; and a nice up-market version, which looked just the trick for a keeper. If you look about a bit there was one just posted, asking about prices on one - might be worth a dip in?

I think you've copped the reverse karma I've been looking for. I'm looking to buy or rent my dad somewhere new to live, as I don't think his pension is going to afford much - you've obviously caught the positive reward from my good karma. I'll let you have my address and you can ship it to me Very nice, an absolutely fantastic gift from father to son. I'd hope, if you ever have children of your own, that you'll make a like gift.

No, they use standard templates for their responses - you will not get a human response this side of writing to someone senior or causing a fuss. They are absolutely awful. Criminally awful. In fact, I'll post their MD the link to this article. Yet another example of how they can't get the basics right.

I'm glad wot just posted that, as I use my nails pick-fashion with my right hand. I'm terrible with a pick, so that's my default when required. Odd confession. I had wondered if I might be one of the only people to do so! As for the left, short as. Shorter the better. That said, neither extends over the finger. That would seem far too long, to my mind.

Reet, have managed to play/speak to players of both the Cort and Ibanez recommendations - even though it took me an age to get back to Cygnus, for which he has my apologies! Still pending on the Jack Cassady - though, bloody hell, does that look good! No idea how I'll find one to try, so might be limited to recommendations. Given my love for unique basses, it could do a job. Tau, I now sit down throughout rehersals - which does raise some eyebrows from people looking in. I think I'll struggle on the barstool on stage, but that could be nice for home - a stand and a seat!

What, say when you triple-post for example? Sorry, the painkillers have left me feeling cheeky this afternoon I'm amazed, looking at the threads on this course, at how much people are able to get done - for some reason, I assumed it would all take so much longer!
