Blingking

Dear George, Last week I came home from work with man flu. When I let myself in to the flat ,I noticed my Jap Strat lying on the sofa with a broken string. I thought 'strange I don't remember breaking a string last night. It was then I heard moans from from the bedroom. When I got there, I saw my girlfriend getting humped from behind by a big geezer with a ACDC t shirt on. Where is the best place to get cheap strings, and should I go from 8's up to 9's yours hopefully

I might be able to help. A friend of mine has a load of stuff he's trying to sell. he said something about throwing 1000quid worth of cymbals in with a kit he is selling. So he might do a deal.

Thank you for calling me a guitarist, I've always thought of myself a basic strummer. Have a pleasent evening.

Being a strummer and not a thumper, I have been following this thread in awe. A guy (the OP) asks a reasonable question, and gets loads of good advice. I thought why can't guitar players be like that. Guitar players tend to just go straight for the throat - well maybe after 3-4 replies/quotes- and start slagging off the 'shit' gear the OP would be using or at least saying things like you need to spend a huge amount of money to get a great tone etc etc. However, here we are on page 3 of the thread and it has begun. Well hats off the the drummers (no pun intended) for waiting that long.

So how much for the PA amp? cheers BK

I sometimes use a sharp knife to scrap some lead from a pencil into the sticky slot in the nut. There must be a joke in there somewhere;)

PM'd you....

PM'd you....................

Final Bump. 300 quid for the guitar. No offers, as this is cheap as it is. cheers BK

Swap you a pedal trash board and some cash;)))

There's a guy in Maud who can do that for you. I think the site is called Strathbeg Guitars. Strathbeg Guitars for cool set-ups and modifications

Yes it is a nice guitar, same pickups as the SG standard etc, just no binding and block markers. and with a hard case for the money....yes it's a great price.

I was in the glasgow shop last week. Good selection of LP's, and other gibbo's

Oh min!......

I've still got this. looking for around 325 quid ovno c/w case.

how much would you take for the Boss Blues pedal? cheers

Ok, it looks a cracking guitar....your one!

I have a Gibson SG studio. Black c/w hard case.

That's what I talking about. I'll play guitar for you if you want. Can't sing very well though, but may get away with backing vox. BTW '77' was a cracking album. Now that 'is' an under rated album:up:

Might be interested in the compressor. PM'd

No I don't have surrounds but..................why don't you just take off the painted covers and either clean them up, or leave the pickup bobbins uncovered. They will be black anyway. You will need to loosing the 4 screws (keep them safe) holding on the surronds (if you still have them) and then loosing the two height adjusting screws (keep them safe) until they come out all the way. then gently lift out the pick up. you should now have a white pickup in you mitt. Slowly unscrew the 6 small screws on to of the pickup (keep them safe). this holds the cover to the pickup. Once they are all out you should be able to seperate the cover from the pickup. you should clean the 6 small screws and put them back in the hole they come out of. place the pickup back in the hole, and replace the surrounds. you then put the 2 long screws back through the holes and adjust the pick up height. remember do not over tighten any of these screws incase you break something. A tip is to have the 6 pickup screws sitting at 45deg from the strings. Of course you have to start with all the 6 screws fully, or near fully screwed into the pick up . E one way, then B the next way (90degs to the E screw) Start by having the two E strings should be the lowest screws, then working a half turn out each time for the A and B string, and then again, another half turn for the D and G strings. this will give you a pick up screw height which somewhat follows the curve radis of your guitar neck. .Cool or what? Now bear in mind I'm saynig this from memory so it might be a little off, and I might not have explained myself well but for the screw height thing just make sure the two E strings a as close to fully in. then adjust the B and A strings to the same height as the E's. then unscrew the A & B screws by half a turn. Now set the D & G screw to the same height as the A & B screws, then unscrew them half a turn. the D&G screws shoud be one full turn up from both the E screws, and half a turn up from the B&A screws. Like steps up and down.

A few days then....maybe 5-6days, not the whole week.

I've got a couple of chrome ones lying around.

could I borrow it for a week or two to try it out?
