[quote name='fatgoogle' post='544133' date='Jul 18 2009, 05:02 PM']Ireland even though at one point being the 3rd richest country in the world i believe, is still a very old country and catholisism still reigns even though it is now dieing out, but it all gigs stopped there for 6+ months and theres one evreymonth or less now.[/quote] Now thats Wexford,Waterford,Roscommon,Wicklow,and Offaly for ya....Im still shocked the church has not got Electricity banned!

[quote name='Rich' post='543466' date='Jul 17 2009, 06:45 PM']Absolutely right. [size=1]Hold on, surely [i]we're[/i] the public too..?[/size][/quote] NO you are scum..and that 3ft of chipboard/MDF that some shop fitter has glued together that seperates you from me,clears my vision to see you for the penniless cretin you are...NOW get out you unwashed mentalist,stop haggleing over the price coz you saw it 100 quid cheaper on some pissant belgian website,that when you phoned up DIDNT have it in stock..nor will it have for the next 8 weeks....8..... BLOODY..... WEEKS..DID YOU EVER HAVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU SAY!!!!and LEARN that the service we provide isnt cold research lab,its NHS,its honest and direct and does what you want just at a random,human face and speed....and with a full service after 12 months..with new strings.... And if you live in Selby,you CAN afford it you tightwad...the real skint ones live in Goole* *Selby had a pound shop,it closed down after 6 months because the natives couldnt argue the prices.FACT! Goole got bombed by Jerry,in mistake for thinking it was Leeds...hense,it reminds me of Coventry with cranes.

Best thing to do is pop up a bit further up the A1 and Meet my mate Jim Fleeting,and just have a nice oogle at his workshop and watch him building his creations...you might even get a cup of coffee.. If you want 'Boutique'.....There isnt much bar Electro in Donny,or some occasionally freaky vintage in Cas (Galaxy...Old Ricky 2003 for £695). Customers like it simple round here,hense Leeds and the BIG cities excluding Bradders have always been a Punk/Indie...and those with a bent on the different style and 'boutique' taste tend to track down the custom luthiers...Fleeting,Haigh etc etc..of which there are many (or they get on a train to Manc...Thats what the Poles do).

[quote name='Spartacus' post='543414' date='Jul 17 2009, 05:13 PM']I was in AoS Nottingham once when a guy late teens/early 20s came in wanting to try a BC Rich guitar. Lether jacket with big zips, those big studded leather wristbands you metalheads like , bullet belt, all the metalwork. If the guy had stood under a big magnet, he'd have beaten and kicked himself to death involuntarly. Had all his mates with him, looked like theyd been covered in superglue and kicked around a scrapyard. The guy dealing with him was only about 16, Saturday job or something, and stood his ground to Mr. Metal and his mates when he asked him to take off all the studs and crap in case he scratched the guitar. Mr. Metal got very stroppy and refused as it was a slur on his identity or something like that. \m/ A few of the usual bits of 'Saturday furniture', me included, backed up the sales lad and Mr. Metal stormed off in a huff. Saw him later practically sobbing on a nearby doorstep and all his mates saying they were going to go back and do the windows. Im not making a point at all (except that a lot of sales people have to deal with arseholes), it just made me laugh to remember it [/quote] Utter twat... I have always made a routine of removing ANYTHING that might/could/would scratch an instrument...and in my more 'image' metal days..if it was spikes,nails,chains,Bullets etc etc..IT CAME OFF.....Ive even asked 'Can I have a bag,coz Im bound to leave summat...' The public are f***tards,I wouldnt let half of them out without professional care workers

Set of 110s and you will be fine,lighter touch,easy.... Ive seen Rickys tuned to A sharp played at speed with no issues..

Matt Ryan....done work for all the Manc bands (New Order,Stone Roses...Carpets...) Based in Milnrow... [url="http://www.guitarrepairer.com/"]http://www.guitarrepairer.com/[/url] Add a few miles and Jim Fleeting is just over the border in Ripon ,North Yorks....

Can I have an effect? A genuine Pearce BC1 Pre amp with the 2stage Sheehan distortion mod,and HUSH....I'd like a pair of Glockenklang cabs..ANOTHER P/U on the P-Bass linked to some mean ass distortomatic effects....sizzle the stage! Oh and I still think about having an 11 string............

Yes I have to,a practical essential in south London.....and Surrey,headphone mixes..all really swish..only drawback is when,if you are used to that clearness,you get a sh*tty monitor mix at a gig,and some people cant cope that well... its dead weird watching 'silent' practices too....just plasticy thumping and violent strumming into the ether... Get a good reliable,repairable electronic drum kit....and decent cans....why more people dont do this I have no idea,much cheaper and lighter than lugging amps about.

Get in a band......its as simple as. The only way to find out how 'able' (not good) you are is to do the task at hand in a band situation.... Maybe you cant find a band,then play along with records,you need to be in playing states that push you,make you try to achieve.... Take a record,by a band you really really like,and learn it,in/out/every nuance ..and mistake,of which you will find quite a few...learn all the lines,till you can nail it in your sleep....learn to read music,the technology of music changes,and what ebbs/flows as 'popular'..like you own personal tastes will change,but notes never do,it the one of musics few constants. If people are saying you are doing well,then take it as,there's nowt much dramatic happening and you are doing well,there's always something to learn...a riff or lick to cop from,a technique,a style to try out,a tune to take an idea from.... There is sadly no yardstick to measure what good is....as long as you are capable,reliable,and able..then in my book thats good. DONT STOP LEARNING!!!!

Guess who Im trying to cop......errrrr.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2bXl5AwX8Q&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2bXl5AwX8Q...feature=related[/url]

Nice to watch someone have fun...he seems to enjoy the tune..good improv! (Playing Rhyl soon BD...come and see me!!)

Thanks fella....But thats tab,I need the actual Chord charts.... But thankyou,its a start! I just nailed the opening Hammond solo of 'Perfect strangers'..Thank the 'Lord' for the 6 string electric Bass guitar!!!!

What is the chord sequence underlining Jon Lords organ solo during 'Burn'?...even roots will help..Youtubes dying on me and Im trying to cop the solo on my bass....

Try and be a bit more dangerous in the gear reviews....

You wanna EBMM..Get an EBMM...You wanna change the P/Us yet not affect the value...rerout and replace with EMGs...replace the lot,Barts just aint nasty enough for metal.

Breakthrough...Left an ansafone msg.

SG is non toxic...It was used in sealing wounds on the battlefields of Vietnam..Liquid skin is really for blisters and burns. 1st the wound MUST be left to heal....clean plaster....learn how to play using middle/ring fingers as pluckers....let the wound heal,seal it with SG and then plaster over the top,Ive done gigs like this..replace the plaster half way through the set... DONT worry,your finger will be fine.

Fun Ad..I used to think they were the best tone,and for a time they might have been...But I play Tech 21 stuff..which is far far better....
