  1. There seems to be an attitude around that gilmour foisted sb out of the band.
    However it's just not the case. Gilmour was a good friend of syds and was asked to play the guitar parts to cover syd as he was increasingly unable to play consistently.
    As was mentioned before, syd withdrew himself from the band due to his increased drug use. He would show up and just be there. One day the band just didn't pick him up on their way to a gig.
    By this point he seemed to be more of a liability to them.
    They definitely seemed to be feeling very guilty, yet comfortable with the fortunes they all made without him in the band.

  2. In two of my bands ( one classic rock/ metal, and the other more what I would class as classic pub rock) everything is in eb, mainly due to pitching vocals.
    Consequently I have 4 basses tuned at eb permanently, while the others are at standard.

  3. I love these - they growl and punch better than some of my way more expensive instruments
    The right hand warlock was in pieces, missing bits and in need of a lot of tlc and cost me £50 with a hard case.
    The ironbird in the middle cost me £60 iirc, and needed much tlc ( cheers Cosmo!)
    The left hand warlock ( crackle finish) was a birthday present fromm wife to replace a similar one stolen in the 90's
    These three gig loads with one of my bands, and always get complimented on their huge sound :)
