Old Gold

I've got a Standard, and it's a lovely piece of kit. Bridge humbucker can kick out the jams and the neck sounds very smooth. I use it for crystal clean stuff mainly, as I prefer the bitey sound of my single coiled strat when it comes to stomping on the ol' distortion. Yes it's very heavy, but I'm not a scrawny member of generation X and have no hassle keeping it on my shoulders for a good few hours. Also, it's expensive, and that's a lot harder to justify. I got one 'cause I loved it.

Ah, but the memories will last forever...

I don't understand why sueing is seen as such a great choice. It's a bloody expensive process, and very time consuming. Obviously touts are getting a bit out of control, but in the end, it's the regular gig goer that misses out on the music.

Covers can be done tastefully, especially if the band put their own spin on it. Besides, why grudge a band one cover in a set of otherwise original material? Keeps everyone happy, ken.

I've had more luck with more random musicians. The mate I originally started my band with turned out to be completely incompatable with me and the random bassist that we found on this very website. And said bassist has since become a great friend and an excellent band mate. Add one long term mate on drums and I managed to form a band quite easily. Now I just need to figure out how to ditch the original guy...

Why else would I be selling this beautiful pedal? o_O Male manicures don't come cheap these days...

Ah, now that would be cunning...

Catchy as hell .. i liked the live video though !

Barry Scott. It's a fucking inside job!

Actual jizz? I do love a stratocaster me.

Ah, the fact that Rubin was involved with both is just a little suspicious.

Curse you people with your sensible answers.

Hmm, sounds good. When can the apple start?

Ah, but imagine how awesome your last growled words would be on your cancer induced death bed, compared to the richly textured 'fuck!' that you'd emit as your aeroplane crashed into the side of Mount Rushmore. But yes. This thread is as tasteless as Tesco's value Lager.

Aye, stovies are what you make of it. Adaptable to their environment like a Transformer or some shit. My gran's stovies are always kickass, 'cause she put a bit of gravy salt or something in to make them really rich. However, she never put beef into them because certain members of the family don't eat read meat. Tsk. I've found that corned beef hash has a higher corned beef to potato ratio than your average pot of stovies. Reports claim that this could be me talking bollocks however. I'm liking Maxi's gourmet stovies though. Ooh la la.

Someone mentioned fingerboard oil. Does it make much difference? I'm in the habit of just cleaning mine with whatever I'm using to polish the rest of the guitar.

Just a regular dust cloth. Although the yellow bits can piss you off a bit.

Aye, I've been using the Gibson stuff on my les paul. I use Mr Sheen on me strat, but I'm paranoid about its effect on the LPs nitro laquer, so I stick with the official polish... even if I am pretty sure it's the same stuff.

Bowling for Columbine was a very good film, but it was easier to like because there was an obvious enemy. Farenheit 9/11 is obviously Propaganda, but that's because it is Moore's view on the state of the USA. People in this country aren't going to leap and up and start defending gun ownership (as attacked by BfC) as it's not a big part of our culture. Yet war is pretty important to everyone anywhere. He didn't so much twist the facts, as fail to give both sides of the story. I'm not sure about this soldier guy's chances though. Other people must have tried to sue Moore already, and as far as I'm aware, he's still wiping his generously sized arse with twenties.

There's a wee picture for your perusal. This thing goes for 69 quid in R&B I believe.

Health shmealth. We're talking about sounding like Tom Waits here! A big pipe you say.... nothing to be said for chowin' on a fine cigar? Or smoking it if you're that way inclined.

Haha, argh. I could use a buyer, as I just ordered a nice new Boss DD-6.

Smoking: allegedly the best way to develop vocals chords like Mark Lanegan and Tom Waits forbidden love child. But how well does it work? And what's the best thing to smoke to achieve such growling tones? A fuckin' pipe? Let's support or dispell some myths folks.

Does red wine have a direct effect on ones sweep picking ability? Our research says... yes?
