Gareth, Have you always played with JFMBC? You guys are fantastic. A few years back my humble wee band played the first ever live gig in the Spring and Airbrake, you guys were gigging in there the next night! Oh and I've seen your campsite sets at Oxygen a few times too ) Brilliant both in the performance and the idea to get a bit of pre-festival groove goin'. I'f I'm not working I'll swing by and say hello! Just checked and I'm on night shift that week Mr Dick, The perf board might well be a better idea - I never even thought to consider that. Cheers for the suggestion. Gavin

Yeah I can see the looks I'll get in Maplin's with my Northern Irish accent here in Edinburgh. "Gee us a bag 'a Ferric Chloride mucker!"

As it says above I have a couple of copper image etches (I've no idea if thats the correct name for it) that I'd like to have etched. I'd be willing to contribute to the cost of having it done - I'm thinking about getting a kit but was looking to give 'self building' a go first before buying a heap of gear to do the job. If anyone can help PM and I'll get in touch for a chat. Cheers G

So you got your mesa power amp after all? If you ever wanna pick up a monster of a power amp My Eden may well be up for sale. Its got loads of power right down to 2ohms So the Peavey is up for sale then?

Thanks for waiting. Nice guy and a smooth painless transaction. Thumbs, yup both of them, up! G

Another happy customer. Cheers Mike

+1 I'll echo what a couple of others have said in that try EQ and flats. Much cheaper than a whole new pick up! If you think of the wide range of players who use a Stingray they have very different versions of one core sound. It's either big and fat like Mr Edwards of up in your grill like Mr Flea. The strings will play a part along with technique plus there are some good comparison videos on youtube with round wounds and flats. comparetheflatwound.com

Legion? More like Legend Top guy and even though it wasn't as big as I thought it was it all worked out in the end! Oooooh Matron!

That hairy girl from The Magic Numbers had a really pleasing style [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s29S51KSbiQ&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s29S51KSbiQ...feature=related[/url]

My lady loaned me the cash to get a 5 string to try out - on the understanding that after a few months gigging with it and seeing if it worked I'd either sell it on and keep my 4 string or sell the 4 and keep the 5. So decision day came and she got all 'hurt' that I was selling the 5 (I'm guessing because she loaned me the cash and wanted to be a part of the my music side of my social life) yet she constantly complained when it was in the flat and referred to it as the beast. Funny how perception can be so different from the reality. Still for those of us that have been with our girlfriend, partner, bird etc etc I think we have an unspoken understanding that this is what we do and they suffer/enjoy accordingly On the plus side my lady is finishing a Masters so she enjoys the free time while I bang out the tunes. Win win as she is beautiful, understanding and intelligent!
