He is a bog eyed looney

People have been modding Bentley for years, started back in the twenties with the "Bentley Boys" who were just posh boy racers really.

Er, hmmmm yeah, there was a impulse buy pony, with no garden to put it in, kids being really pleased and wife being really quite annoyed, thanks for reminding me of that:)

"one cant be "insane" in my opinion."

damn right, they sectioned me just for being naked on a hotel roof flinging dung at low flying aircraft, that's perfectly **** normal I'd say…….. bastrds

I thought that as well……

wristwatches were only invented in about 1914 or something, all to do with timing everybody going over the top and getting their brains and giblets blown all over Flanders on time or the like.

No I'd setup my own business doing something I love, which I did.

I reckon cos you'd get annoyed with it on y' right hand if y' right handed, much less nuisance on your less dominant and less used hand(for stuff requiring fine motor control anyway) , just a guess

when you get a setup done, don't rely on the shop to get it right, ask around, I've seen some diabolically bad guitar set ups off the rack, big name brands and big name stores. If they are working in a store as a sales bod, they're probably not that good,unless they just do guitar tech there.

I charge about forty to fifty quid for a proper setup on a solid body electric, truss rod, intonation, action, pickup height and angle,and I'm quite happy for the customer to bring it back free of charge a few times till they're perfectly happy with it If they're not happy for you to bring it back after a couple of weeks to adjust again, walk away. Bit long winded but there you go.

MrNutt…..any Gibson with a cracked nut, should'nt cost more than 30 quid tops to replace for a brass or bone nut, and is pretty much a diy job anyway if you order the nut from allparts or axesrus.

If they are legally entitled to park there, they'll have a blue badge to display, disabled spaces are provided by law, and you can be ticketed for using one illegally iirc,which I may not do, but p+c spaces are provided as a courtesy to customersagain iirc.

those hot rail style single coils, they are just usually stacked humbuckers, with the coils vertical as opposed to horizontal,or two really narrow coils horizontally so you still get a humbucker tonality generally, but in a single coil size package,I fit a lot of 'em to stratalikesters, when I say don't worry about the pick ups too much I just mean don' get hung up on the type, it's whether you like the guitar or not that counts,and get it well set up and enjoy it, whatever it is:)

"Would you challenge someone if you saw them scrape a trolley down the side of an X6 that some w&nker had just parked across a P&C and HC space?"

No, it's probably me with the trolley, and I might have to do a few laps just to make sure.:)

oh and just buy one you like the look and feel of, don't worry about the pickups too much.

Humbuckers are wired in series, but out of phase with each other,so any rogue interference is sent by one coil as a + signal and one coil as a – signal, canceling each other out and hey presto, no hum, hence they "buck the hum". Seth Lover who invented them, never actually used the the buck himself though , the disadvantage of this is that the design trims a little hf off and loses a little definition overall, but giving a fatter sound with usually higher output than a single coil

they are less likely to be driving would be my guess

Phil Collins may be a cockweasel, but he's not a bad skinbasher to be fair.

And by Rich I meant Christian but for some reason typed rich…..

Neil Peart, he's a real percussionist as opposed to merely a drummer though 🙂

Glad to have been of help:)

It is funny, but it did bugger up his military career quite dramatically for years. He pretty much breaks down in tears if you clap and make seal noises at him.

My mate's squad wiped out a colony of seals (or something like 'em anyway) in the Falklands cos in the dark they looked like blokes that had balaclavas on "and were whispering in Spanish"

Blubber and flippers everywhere apparently

Is that a dictaphone?

No I use my fingers like everybody else.

crap, but I've always liked it.

I never bother to read sfb's post anymore anyway, as they are invariably dull and repetitive, frequently poorly researched, ill informed and boundlessly pedantic. That may just by my opinion though 🙂

baby oil worked on mine.

I neither know nor care to be fair

"Take a hi-fi amp company that you respect and ask yourself why would the designer not incorporate suitable mains filtering?"

Many do including Sony,panasonic and LG on their plasma displays as well

more like an arsey slipper than a dog I mean

more slipper like a arsey slipper than a dog

Yes.

text, not test….sorry.

Steven Hall, "The raw shark test"

Memes, conceptual sharks and a cat called Ian. What more do you need? I've read it over and over again and get something different out of it every time.

period chicklit…….nowt more.

"Kevin!!! stop licking the students"

spanish stroll, Mink Deville

bloody superb it is

I just felt left out and wanted to join in without actually having to state an opinion 😉

do you mean Ivor Tiefenbrun?:)

"Mr Linn"? who the hell is Mr Linn? 🙂

The last time I saw something like that, I shot it before it started bothering the livestock.

superb, been playing for thirty eight years and I still refer to it occasionally
