I've started using Ernie Ball Hybrid strings which are 009-011-016-026-036-046 which I find work well for lead.

That all makes good sense because obviously, the program isn't smart enough to differentiate between fact and fiction at this point.

If it's "it is the best sounding phonograph I have ever owned" that's great, you couldn't ask for anything more 👍

Ok, thanks for your replies. I'm not a big fan of uncovered pickups so I think I'll probably wait for a Greeny🙂

I've been checking out Youtube reviews of the 50's Standard, particularly the faded ones, and one reviewer claimed that they come with 50's wiring, does anyone know if that's correct? It's really the Greeny model that I fancy most but they are like hen's teeth in the U.K. at the moment.

So what has any of this got to do with Washing Machines 😀

I think the un-bevelled edge is how the Custom shop reissues are, at least that's the case on my R8, so I'm guessing it's "period correct". I know what you mean, it feels a little unfinished to me but I guess it is what it is.

As I understand it, Peter's drug problems started after his drink was "spiked" at a party in Germany which exasperated Peters's already fragile mental health. The list of wasted talent from that period is mind boggling, people like Paul Kossoff, are such a sad waste.

You should check out all the episodes of Only Fools and Horses, there were quite a few series, also worth looking at are Men Behaving Badly (but not the early ones with Harry Enfield). Ironically Harry Enfield & Chums is rather funny.

Great performance by all, and the young Lady gives an impressive rendition of this classic:

I had the privilege of seeing Aynsley Lister at a small club (60 people max) last night and wow, when you see a bloke like him play close up there playing is just unbelievable. It was a three-piece band and almost every note ran out clearly, he did muff up a couple of notes in one fast solo but the guy has so much spare capacity he was able to angle his Strat up and jokingly look at it as though it was at fault.

If you like motorsport you should see the Isle of Man TT races. The blokes who compete in that must be deranged, every year it's carnage, six riders died last year.

So your first thread on this subject got closed down, so you thought you'd give it another spin 😀

Great amp, enjoy 👍

Sadly another great pass's on. RIP Tina

AI scares me a bit, to me it can undermine human achievement, everyone's computer has the potential to be the next genius composer or to produce the next art masterpiece. It can already be used to write a first-class dissertation. Yes, it can be fun and be used for the good of mankind but once the genie is out of the bottle there can be no going back

It's funny how U.S. attitudes to vehicle mileage are so different from here in the U.K. and most of Europe, most people would never consider buying a car with approaching 100K miles on the clock, they are considered as the next stop, scrap yard. A few people will run them as bargain basement transport.

You need to bear in mind that all Memphis 335's came with "Custom" on the case but they were not "Custom Shop", so you need to be careful that someone is not misselling a guitar.

The cones have started to perish and split on one pair of Acoustic Research speakers I have (I have them in different rooms), I stuck a few pieces of insulating tape over the splits and you really can't hear any difference. That's real HiFi 😆

One thing that surprised me was the fact it was made in England, I thought everything was now made in China ☹️

Despite having several hundreds of vinyl records I'd given up playing them because my record deck didn't work (it may have done occasionally if you persevered with it), but yesterday I got a new Rega Planar One. I've just finished listening to Yes's Close to the Edge and I was stunned by the depth and clarity compared to digital music reproduction, there are guitar lick's in there that I haven't heard in years, and the amount of work that went into making some of those classic albums is amazing but nowadays with digital, no one hears it.

Good to hear that he was so approachable and not one of those "stars" who are so up themselves.

Since I reversed mine I'm really chuffed with it 🙂

I've never changed pickups on a guitar, but a lot of people obviously do, but the way I see it you are spending hundreds of $'s and you have absolutely no idea what it's going to sound like when you've finished. That's a leap of faith and quite a big gamble.
