There is a nice Gibson J45 at Imported Instruments. Sounds amazing, I am expecting a work trip to the US next year so I'll be buying a couple of guitars over there rather than pay UK prices.

Buy me waaaahn innaw please. A nice Goldtop would be the dugs baws

I don't get the reference or know who Tony Hart is.

xx

Tony Hart was an artist who presented an excellent 60's/70's kids TV program called Vision On. It had a lady signing for the deaf. which was quite rare back then. He then got his own show called Take Hart, which introduced the animated plasticine character, Morph, to the world.

Reading the above Wiki entry I see that he designed the Blue Peter logo -I didn't know that!

The missus pulled a blinder and got me George A. Romero's Trilogy of the Dead and Theme Hospital off Amazon.

Last night we watched the 1968 genre defining classic "Night of The Living Dead".

What a film.

It's a great movie and that cemetery scene right at the start is genuinely unsettling. All movie have great moments, my fave being "Choke on it!!!" from Day of The Dead.

...but it's not all cute face and abs, there's another side to Jessica as well...

This Jessica, the real Jessica, the ONLY Jessica...

You don't want to see Jessica uncovered?

Oh, my poor blood pressure

As for Lance Armstrong the only thing that suprises me is that it was actually uncovered, as the USA does love a cultural icon, and that he most certainly is. You watch - Usain Bolt and Phil Schofield next!!!!!!!!!!

Not Jessica though, never, ever Jessica. OK?

Maybe they just want to know if you enjoyed it without being told what happened?

Yes, granted, but I'm referring to the instances where all you do is open your mouth to answer and the fucking DefCon 1 histrionics start.

What really boils my piss ... and see if anyone can relate, is...

You when someone asks you...

"What did you do at the weekend?"

"I went to the cinema to see the new <insert movie here>"

"Any good?"

"Yes, it's..........."

"NO NO, don't tell me, I'm going to see it tonight, NO NO NO NO" - hands flapping like mad, recoiling from you like you have leprosy.

It makes me want to boot them in the stanes (or gash), kick them in the heid, knock them to the ground and kick them until they're twitching spasmodically, all the while screaming "Why did you fucking ask me then, WHY DID YOU FUCK IN ASK ME CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNT !!!!!!"

Hi,

I bought this and it's not my cuppa.

Game are offering £25 for a trade-in, so , I'm happy to sell it for that.

Can be collected at Bridge of Don (office hours) or Turriff (eves).

Pm me if interested.

I know , I must have been living in a cave for a while but I just "experienced" this phenomenon on friday night outside the monkey house , unbelievable

.......also , she has an impersonator , "Guitar Mannie" who plays the same "tune" as her at the top end of union street near the filling station

Guitar Wifie has a tribute act?

How awesome is that?

I asked about the gold top ages ago and yeh never replied.

Replies urnae Brian's strong point

Resident Evil 6 - underwhelmed thus far. I'm a relative newbie to the XBox though and it's taking a me bit of time to get used to the controller, so that may be spoiling my enjoyment of the game a bit.

Too many cut scenes early on as well. Hopefully the game will flow a bit more freely after the initial mission.

Strip (fluorescent) lights are also a fucken bastardin' cunt for causing amp noise.

if anything it will probably be too loud anything above about 4

Yep, absolutely spot on.

Up until recently, I gigged with a Marshall TSL100 and in 25w mode, it was taking the plaster off pub ceilings with the volume at 5 and the gain around 6.

I doubt you'd be disappointed with the output from a 50w valve amp. It'll have a lot more hitting power than your solid state amp.

Awaits deluge of in-the-know posts

Anyone doing Movember this year? I skipped last year but might do it again this year for the lulz.

It's Jason King, minus the velvet suit and ruffled collar!

My stuff is mostly all entry level. I just can't warrant dropping a grand on a guitar when I can get a perfectly decent one for £300.

I'm perfectly happy with my £350 Mexican Strat. I've owned hunners of Strats over the years and this current one as good as any I've played - and it's very well made too.

Brand snobbery is undoubtedly a huge factor when it comes to gear purchase and ownership and I, for one, have fallen into that trap on many occasions.

I agree with most of the posts vis-a-vis Fender/Squier, Gibson/Epi etc and that you do have to spend a bit more for a decent valve amp, though good ones (e.g. Blackstar) can be got for un-silly money.

I'd also extend the discussion to "boutique" pedals, a market that's expanding so rapidly that the entire planet surface will soon be covered with them.

All you seem to need to succeed is...

• a clever name (pref. something risque)
  
• a funky paint job
  
• a plain cardboard box with a basic sticker & hand-written serial number
  
• extortionate price tag
  
• a claim of "true bypass"
  

An endorsement from a respected guitarist won't hurt either.

A few years ago I went on a binge in Guitar Guitar and bought 4 Fulltone pedals - A Fat Boost, an OCD v4, a Deja Vibe and a Clyde Deluxe Wah, grand total? almost £800!

800 soapies for FOUR pedals that frankly, were no better than a good deal of the much cheaper competition? What was I thinking? Fulltone pedals are well built and do sound good, but are as noisy as fuck, which for me, negates the silly price tag.

And on that subject have you ever noticed how folks who are selling a boutique pedal claim it to be the Greatest Pedal Ever Made ™ and that it's breaking their heart to sell it? Aye right! like £80-100 is going to solve all your financial troubles.

Does thon TC Electronics G-Spot Orgasm hingmy of yours not have a loop function?

Thocht you had one of these?

If the mafia were around for all that time, why are the McCallisters still alive?

Coz they're fuckin' NAILS!

The chances of them making it up are quite slim since it is really detailed, if you research it more you will probably find out that it is true.

If you research it more, you may find yourself propping up a flyover on the Western Peripheral route. These Wops don't fuck about

Ooooh - I'm not sure What the Malty's capacity is - there was about 150 at the last gig we did there and it wass busy, but not jam-packed. Perhaps someone else on here knows.?

I believe you can hire the Tunnels for private gigs - it's a decent sized venue.

We were able to play the Malt Mill when our drummer was only 14. It was classed as a private function and therefore not subject to the usual regulations.
