Ha ha. All true. I don't fear the whole note and i won't go past five strings.

Just fire everybody else!

I'd just like to say bass isn't just a rhythm instrument. You can play melodically too. Bass is a part of harmony!

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1377544557' post='2188718'] So much this, under the assumptions that one ranges jazz under that same view, and that real music is only made by Penderecki, Stockhausen and Xenakis. In other words: sweeping statement nonsense that you of all people should know to stay well away from. [/quote]Bit harsh! He was only saying it's pop music, not it's not real music. What's wrong with pop music!

Metal has been pop for many years now. it has a defined image that isn'y just scruff and black anymore. tattoos and hair do's are obligatory. All the bands have the same sheen production. It's all bollocks basically. the last metal band was probably Pantera!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1377294715' post='2186055'] If this is ever the case, you have my permission to "bang fook" out of the (bad...) drummer. [/quote]Respect!

but seriously, i don't understand why bands have to practice at ear splitting volumes. Someone please explain to me why? It's probably why i've never used earplugs as i've never allowed bands i've been in to be ridiculously loud. I've played heavy rock most of my life too

earplugs?.......no.......don't know what you're talking about!

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1377211712' post='2184985'] Yes - I sand it first with coarse (c 80 grit) then wet it with a squeezed out cloth - this reveals the scrapes and dings. Repeat until all the scrapes and dings are gone, then sand progressively down to around 400 grit. It should then prime well and flaw-free. [/quote] cheers

Nearly down to all the wood. Just got the top face to do. Will i have to sand it with a fine sandpaper before i spray a primer? Just ordered this bridge for it. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_3d5_b.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_3d5_b.htm[/url]

Regressed?!?!?!?!?!?

Well that just makes that show seem totally unbelievable now!

[quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1376942026' post='2181356'] That's great! How much stuff do they have? [/quote]6 albums, I think!

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1376938218' post='2181250'] I like it!...I have liked everything I have heard of his...an Australian barman at one of my locals used to play a lot of gotye...the big hit had been out for a couple of years before it made it to the UK. As usual though ....I haven't bought or downloaded anything....I really must update my music collection [/quote] I really recommend Making Mirrors. It's a stunning album, aurally too. It's great but thru headphones it's a whole different experience. Magical production!

Some of you may know i'm a big Gotye fan. It's fair to say his big hit opened the door for me but most of his other stuff is better and that is a great pop song. Anyhow he is also a drummer and singer in a rock band called The Basics. It's pretty rocking! [media]http://youtu.be/bnDf9zLiUII[/media]

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1376851502' post='2179982'] Well, at the top of the forum you'll find a thread confirming that items under £50 can be listed for free If people have feedback, then make sure you drop Kiwi and Ped a PM with your thoughts. [/quote] Respect!

what if you are selling something you don't expect much for? say old pickups for about £20. do you still have to pay £7. Seems Steep!

I used to run pubs for Mitchells and Butler. It's a huge job. I was running pubs that took £25000 a week. With staff lists of over 30 people. It would take a long time to fully expalin running a successful pub. The simple answer is they don't just make money on a friday and saturday. If the pub is not doing so well on those times they will spend money in the hope of making money!

Had a bash with the heat gun. Did all the sides and cutaways. See what you mean about it being a bit off a ball ache. I will do the top and bottom later in the week. I'll post pics of the lovely chunk of plywood when it's had the dings filled and sanded.

These were my fave tunes http://youtu.be/SIvMAeExvig http://youtu.be/X8HKli_KKHE

Absolutely amazing band. Grey lantern is almost the perfect album just didn't need Tax loss. Six was a good album too. Didn't think there was anything that i'd consider prog on it!

Bought a heat gun earlier. I'll have a go tomorrow.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1376065553' post='2169301'] Wow, that's a steal for £23! Good one Here's a thread on my own attempt at something similar-ish.

Just sanded the headstock. Took me about an hour. So i think i'll get a heat gun tomorrow to do the body.

There's a great book on theory by Stravinsky's nemesis...Schoenberg. It's on the large side!
