Rothko and Frost make custom decals pretty much how you want them for future reference if you wanna get one yourself for future projects.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1387016560' post='2307399'] LOL... WOOPS!!! Great sounding decal. I take it all back and now busy eating humble pie as we speak. [/quote] Ha ha. no problem mate. I know it's a common thing fakers. The guy i buy the nitro off, Steve Robinson, has a website that shows how to build and spray.He mentions on it how strongly he fells against fakers too.

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1386965353' post='2307036'] Looks much much better than my first attempt! This is looking very good. By the way, don't worry too much about the plywood - I had an Epiphone Les Paul Junior 6 string which, when I pimped it, realised was plywood. One of the best sounding guitars I've ever owned!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1386957760' post='2306878'] By using sand paper in your hand, each finger applies a different pressure to the sandpaper, so the sanding is uneven. The purpose of a sanding block is to make sure your pressure applied to the sandpaper is applied evenly over the contact surface. The pressure applied to the finer grades can be about the same as to the rougher grades. I don't use wet and dry. Using wet abrasive paper lets water soak into the wood, making some areas swell and stand higher and gives you uneven sanding of the wood. As far as the decal is concerned - serves you right. I don't agree with faking instruments, there's enough rip-off sharks in world without you becoming one too. But that's just me. Edit: If you built a custom kit car would you stick a Ford logo on the bonnet? It's the same thing IMHO. [/quote]Er! The decal said my surname and the name and date of the tour I've been doing this year and next, not Fender. If I made something i'd make sure everyone knew i did it. Believe! I do have an ego! Thanks for the other advice tho!

Bloody hell that takes me back. When I saw the thread I thought why do I know that?.....I used to get mashed up to this in Manchester in the early noughties. I'd totes forgot about 'em. Good stuff!

My decal arrived today. I put it on which was a bitch for a clumsy bugger like me. Then i was admiring it I realised it had been printed wrong. New one arriving tomorrow. Anyway, when flatting down with wet sandpaper, going thru the grades getting read to buff, how do you do it? Do you apply as much pressure as when normally block sanding or do you do it lighter and get lighter with the grades? Also, do you still use a sanding block on the neck or just wet sandpaper in my hand? Cheers

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386927244' post='2306416'] In that case Van Halen I [/quote] Let's just have a Van Halen appreciation thread (Diamond Dave era only of course). My all time fave VH tune is (not off 1 or 2, tho they are the best albums...maybe 1984 too) [media]http://youtu.be/tMnF8scIKz0[/media]

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1386927096' post='2306415'] I don't think people are getting this at all. You can't have 86 greatest heavy rock albums each. You can only have one. My thread, my rules Sort yourselves out now! [/quote]Ha ha ha!

I can't believe nobody has said 'Slippery when Wet' by Bon Jovi!........wait a minute yes i can!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1386881544' post='2306007'] You know, I don't think there is one. There's loads of great heavy rock songs, but I'm hard pushed to think of a heavy rock album where every track is fantastic. When I joined the covers band I used to play with I went out and bought the albums (that I didn't already own) from which all the songs that were in the set came. For every fantastic song (that had probably been released as a single) on each album were at least 2 unimaginative and IMO largely pointless blues workouts. I think in the end the album that (for me) had the least amount of filler on it was "Appetite For Destruction" a record that I had zero interest in at its original release time. [/quote] I was thinkin of Appetite. I freakin love that album. I first heard it when i was about 9 and it just blew my tiny mind. it was the album that got me into Rock n Roll. I didn't put it as sometimes i think i blinded by love. it still sounds the same as the first time pretty much. It's just i don't have much love for Sweet child as i played it to death in cover bands.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1386880673' post='2305985'] Case closed for me. [/quote] Word! You show me a better and heavier album and i'll show you........this album again!

Actually, it's this. [url="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbyMlPW0GuUUHoueG4K-YkI8zkpUdFPmc"]http://www.youtube.c...K-YkI8zkpUdFPmc[/url] Physical Graffiti

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1386868830' post='2305738'] Oh and the Van Halen debut album. [/quote] Maybe for it's impact but i think VH2 is better. ( Apart from The one and On fire is on 1) ok VH1 and 2. Actually ihad it on cassette one on each side. Original. So that counts as one album......it bloody counts alright. this is off 2 [media]http://youtu.be/4uiqgwUs1l4[/media]

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1386861325' post='2305562'] Machine Head!! Another forgotten gem!! And 'Burn' (the title track is jaw-droppingly good) [/quote]Isn't 'Might just take your life' and 'You fool no one' on that. If so that's the best mentioned so far!

If it's on 15th feb I'll be in Aberdeen playing at His Majesty's theatre so i'd pop along. But don't take this into account when organising it.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386590675' post='2301764'] Sorry chaps, but you are also doing the same to me! [/quote]Touche sir!, Touche!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1386379823' post='2299624'] This is no good Nige, you keep having gigs on the same day I do, how am I ever meant to get to see you guys again? [/quote]He's doing it to me too. the one time i'm in London for a couple of days and his gigging same day as me. Selfish!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1386417152' post='2299843'] It won't But learning to relax and feel the music without stimulatory aids is the key. You need all your physical faculties to play properly, the more smoke and drink, the higher the latency [/quote]i wondered why the drummer was always a song behind the rest of us. I thought he was being experimental With the couple of drinks thing its just in the rock band. With other gigs I'm usually jacked up on coffee....hardcore me!

Ah bugger! Cheers man, have a good gig!

Saw this down in the Bass player wanted section. It's killer.It's Prog but a tune too. The right amount of prog. Thought i'd bang it up in this section so maybe more people would see it. http://youtu.be/0_e4YX73Ww4

What time would you be on? I would be playing that night, we get wrapped up by about 10 ish.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1386442253' post='2300250'] maybe i was a little specific in that percentage but ok that makes no sense. unless you can explain to me different Mr Sausage. [/quote]I'm no good at explaining anything!
