Yes, the bloke from A-ha. Announced today that he has Parkinson's. A good article on a-ha dot com here.

Also, a +1 from me for the Wine Cellar pedal. I love it.

This is the latest addition, it's a high/low pass filter which I'm using as a 'thumpinator' because my new amp doesn't have one built in unlike the previous one. It's a clone of a Broughton Low+High that I bought as a rough nearly-finished project and rehoused in a nicer/smaller enclosure. It's an always-on, so to be honest I needn't have bothered with the footswitch, but it was already built so I kept it. Annoyingly the drill slipped when I was drilling the low pass hole so it doesn't quite line up. When it gets so I can't look at it without cringing, I'll rehouse it again with no switch.

I love the sound of flats on a P and I wish I could get that tone on mine, the problem is that I absolutely hate the way flats feel. For me they feel almost slimy, they make me want to wash my hands. Hard to describe, but there's no way I could play them for any length of time. Maybe I'm just weird, but eucchhh. No.

Remove the grill and brush paint it with some blingy Hammerite colours. The Tolex is going to be less noticeable and maybe give hipsters some trouser tentage as it looks genuinely used.
Colourful hammered finishes make stuff like this pop, they disguise most minor imperfections and they're a very good rust treatment and preventative.
Even if you do nowt to change it, I hope you get some fun out of it.

I certainly will. I've been using a BG250 at a rehearsal studio and have been pleasantly surprised by it. I'm going to replace my current Behringer BX600 rehearsal amp with the TC, its main advantages being more power and less weight. The Behringer weighs an absolute ton for such a small box.
Good idea with the Hammerite. I've got a tin of silver, but I might see what else is out there.

Oh you rotten sod. How can you do this to me? You're even local, FFS. *howl of anguish* -

Likewise. I've cancelled my sub and am going to look into recouping what I paid for the undelivered copies.

I agree with Nancy. Plywood is a much better bet, stronger and considerably lighter than MDF. -

I've given up reporting stuff to Farcebook. The other week I reported a hideous individual who was ranting on about immigrants, referring to them over and over again by a very derogatory name beginning with W and rhyming with 'snogs'. Perhaps predictably, I was informed that apparently it didn't contravene any of FB's "community standards".

And he was building guitars for a good few years before that too. Beautiful lute-back acoustics, if I recall correctly.

What do you do when your music career is over?

There's a guy works down our chip shop swears he's Nah, not really. -
At risk of appearing unimaginative in my replies... ...this, in its 100% entirety.

Jesus wept. How did you find out? To be honest, it's probably a good job you found out so early on that he/they are capable of such disgraceful sh!tbaggery. You may have dodged a bullet further down the line.

I seem to recall back in the day reading quotes from a few name players who reckoned Trace's cabs weren't half as good as their amps. Can't remember who now. Anyone else remember this?
-
Yes! Still got my copy lurking somewhere. I could never understand why on earth they included that last track. The sound quality is absolutely horrible, it sounds like a partially chewed cassette being played on an Amstrad tape player that has been dug out of a landfill. I don't think I've ever listened to that track all the way through.
-
It's a no to both of those. To be honest, in light of what everyone's saying here, I think I'm going to follow the classic flowchart...
-
At fear of nit-picking myself... I never said PC was the most underrated drummer, I said he was one of the most. As in, one of a group. So he can quite easily sit alongside the fellows you mention. Whether he is well-known or not is entirely irrelevant to my original point.
-
Better known, yes... but he's not generally credited with the level of talent he has.
