"...and today on Ready Steady Cook..."

Pino's hands reminded me of someone, but I couldn't remember who. Then it dawned on me...

Little Red Corvette - Mr Nelson

Pushbike Song - Mixtures

And there's Concrete Jungle, and Do The Dog

Bah Thanks

Skip-py the Bush Kangaroo - TV theme

I quite like the look of their maple f/b necks too. I have an old Harley Benton JB loaded body hanging around and quite fancy sticking a neck on & tuning it BEAD for a giggle. Trouble is that the neck pocket is quite narrow and the widest heel it will take is 62mm. I've asked the seller for the width of this one but don't hold out much hope. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233867761195

The Very Thought of You - Ray Noble and His Orchestra with Al Bowlly

Is it just me or is that picture slightly on the p*ss? Yes. I can tell you from ongoing experience that these are things to be very very much avoided.

Do You Know the Way to San José - Dionne Warwick 'Twas him. ^

That headstock decal is all sorts of wrong. Walk away.

Mad About the Boy - Noël Coward.

Reckon you've got bass? Pfft. This guy will make your low F# sound like a squeak.

It's Not You, It's Me - Bea Miller

Out of Sight, Out of Mind - Level 42

Only Women Bleed - Alice Cooper

Bicycle Race - Queen

Wheels of Steel - Saxon

That was me Yes, it's definitely becoming far more than just another NBD thread (in a very good way)

I think mine is also too far gone to be restored to factory. One pickup is dead and the other's not brilliant, only 3 out of 4 tuners work properly, the bridge is damaged albeit functionally ok and the original pots & knobs are long gone. It'd cost a fortune to make it worth money, and I'd rather have fun with it.

Anybody Listening? - Queensrÿche

A13, Trunk Road to the Sea - Billy Bragg

(I Just) Died in Your Arms - Cutting Crew

I fitted licenced Ultralites to my V7 fiver. I weighed them and the stock ones, there was half a pound difference. That is a hell of a lot, and yes they helped.
