Yep, I think that's happened to several of our BC fam.

Fixed. OP did say politely, after all.

Tie Knee Dancer - Elton

One of my biggest regrets is not buying the Zon Legacy Elite 5 I saw advertised for £1k about 20 years ago. And yes, Mansons are incredibly thin on the ground. I've only ever seen one for sale, and that was in 1986.

One Day I'll Fly Away - Randy Crawford

Itchycoo Bark - Small Faces

Over My Shoulder - Mike and the Meckernicks

Mike Huckabee, US ambassador to Israel, whose choice of instrument is a lot cooler than his choice of leader.

Pigpen plays a 3 string doghouse with 4 tuners.

Ah, but it also denotes Great Britain. One Britain is bad enough, can you imagine how awful 1024 of them would be? Oh, the tera!

There are many things I dislike, but one of the things I like least is irrational prejudices. To which an orchestral musician would say "Bass what? Clarinet, trombone, sax..?".

Invisible - Alison Moyet

I've only just spotted this thread, and I bloody well wish I hadn't. GAS is back with a bang. That sunburst 5-string... ohhhhh lordy.

@Eldon Tyrell can I assume that this has gone?

In the article, Mr Flea says that he "showed up, rocked out, and split". I must say that sounds terribly painful, and I hope the studio staff were able to administer suitable first aid until the paramedics arrived.

Potholes - GmacCash

Here's some food for thought. Some are nicer than others -- I particularly like no.7, although it's not a folding one. 35 DIY Guitar Stand Plans You Can Build - Handy Keen

Highly tempted to get some pretty wood and have a bash at making something like this for my ABG. I've got some marine plywood with quite highly-figured top plies... hmmm...

@Dood can you make it?

Stopping is easy. I've done it loads of times.

Because I am horrified by what I have read in the pages of this thread, and the Vice link aniki posted. That's why. Like you say, we can all pick and choose where we rehearse, and on the basis of this thread I would pick and choose to avoid Pirate like the proverbial.

Christ on a bike. Having read all this and followed the Vice link, I can safely say that I wouldn't use their studios if they paid me. My go-to in Bristol is definitely Firebird in Brislington.

East of Eden - Big Country
