Re: RIP Dr John :-(

I saw him on a few occasions when I lived in New Orleans, often unannounced guest spotting on other peoples shows. Class act, musical powerhouse and happy to chat if you were buying drinks

Re: Luthier/ repair person recommendations

I've just got my SG back from Trevor at http://www.binfordluthiery.com/
He yanked the Gibson circuit board and put a new wiring harness and pots in, plus a set up.
Did a great job + he's a good guy too. Good communicator

I am somewhat jealous. One of these is very high on my "what shall I spend my bonus on" list.

Re: New BOSS Products coming....

$349 US at Rogue and Prymaxe, which disappointments me a little. $300 like the DD-500 would have been sweet. At that price I'll hang about and wait to compare with the new Source Audio reverb (Ventris?) when it's launched soon

That was really interesting, and in some ways justified me being a tight arse. Thanks for posting

Re: NSGD

Hah, well it turns out fate (and the Rockshop) have decided i shouldn't get one of these.

Visited 2 Rockshops today, both who confirmed prior that they had the 2x2M midi version in stock, and when I got there they only had the non midi version :(

Re: NSGD

Ahhh the joy of Windows. I think I'll roll the dice and give one a crack. The Rockshop have a good return policy right :-)?

Ibanez Blazer bass

So I've come into ownership of a fairly good nick Ibanez Blazer bass. It's been collecting (a lot) of dust in someones spare room and is in dire need of a set up. I don't need (or particularly want) a bass but I have also read they were one of the better P bass clones made - worth spending some $ on...

Re: NSGD

How are you liking the M Track? I was about to but a Scarlett to replace my trusty Edirol UA-25 (not Windows 10 compatible) but the M Track looks v. interesting

Re: Is GAS over for me?

When the wife started popping out kids I found the resulting poverty virtually killed my GAS overnight For a lot of folks (myself included) I reckon GAS is a direct result of boredom - I used to find that when things were quiet at work I'd spend a lot more time on forums and that browsing stirred up...

Re: Fender Offset Tele Yay or Nay?

nah ... just makes a jazz/jag master look even worse Jazz/jag's definitely looks wicked, but I've never got on with them with them. this is a good compromise for me :-) This is the other offset that I like. I've had one before - fantastic neck but that guitar sounded a bit dead, probably on account...

Re: NGD .....dipinto Galaxy 4

Oh man, I'd forgotten about these - used to lust hard after them a few years back. Import or does someone sell them locally?
