Soda Jerk Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The smaller Cash Converter rip off shops know nothing about guitars and are fucking ace. I took a Marshall Jackhammer pedal in to "Main Exchange" in Dewsbury to sell and told them it was worth about 120. He gave me 50 for it.They are 45 brand new.I wins!Where does your missus work?I'm only here for another week. Temping is whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Not sure of the exact location, but I know it's near Peep Peeps (and no, she's not a hooker before anyone says anything!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've heard alot about these industrial estate hookers, but never seen. I've never been privelaged enough to live in an area graced by hookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I can never pick a favourite. I'm more partial to there jazzy/bluesy stuff they did after The Bed Is In The Ocean. Some Boots and Unsolved are probably my favourites I guess.The (fairly) new live album is also awesome! I didn't even know it'd come out til a few weeks ago. It's been out nearly a year!i keep forgetting to buy that live album though it is indeed a corker. maybe next payday(this months cd funds have already been allocated for the new black mountain album).

Soda Jerk Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 They've got it in that CD shop in the city centre. Can't remember what it's called. The one down from where Fopp used to be.Until then, I'd never seen a Karate CD in a shop, ever. Always had to buy online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The one down from where Fopp used to be.It's name, almost ironically given your description of where it is, is One Up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bingo.It's alright is that place. The second hand section is awesome.I guess someone can probably lock this now. I'll take my guitar down to R&B. Boomy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Also, what strings do you recommend? I've been using Ernie Ball's since forever. I'd second James' recommendation on D'Addario's - I was a Ernie man myself, but when I bought my John Suhr Strat, it came with D'Adds - much better.You're probably aware of this, but FFS never, ever user Fender Bullets!If you're in a gig scenario and for whatever reason all that's available are Fenders, then just de-string your axe and make guitar noises through the mike yourself!!!

JaYsus Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Is R&B the more fav choice to take a bass to that needs rewired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Majesty Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I don't know of any place in Aberdeen that is consistently able to provide guitarists with good instrument set ups or amp repairs. There may be occasions where they've done a good job, but it's basically a bit of a lottery as to how well the setup or repairs will be. You're better of learning how to do it yourself, or send it off to somewhere with a good reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 You're better of learning how to do it yourself, or send it off to somewhere with a good reputation.I tried that once. used a site tunemybass or something like that. intonation was fine and it sounded sweet and tight even in drop C, but that action was far too high... i wouldn't know how to sort thast out. Bruceys recommended me this independent guy... Marshall Dow. i have his number somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Graham Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Anyone know if you pay any cash when you drop off your guitar for a set up at R&B, or do you just pay when you pick it up?(Yes, I've read the thread.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givemeasmile Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Is a guitar set up hard to do? I tried to raise the action on mine and think I've ruined it, just snapped two ten gauge high E strings. Anybody care to help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Where abouts did they snap? A common place is at the bridge end which can be caused by a sharp point at the saddle. I can easy have a look at it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
