    Bass, guitars, I've a few instruments I need to restore - a 1990 USA Standard Tele and an explorer bass I had built years ago. Both nearly stripped and getting ready to refinish.<br><br>I intend to make my own Strat and thinline Tele one day - or a maybe a strat with an f-hole... Actually started on a first complete build - a neck through vee.<br><br>Like an assh@le at woodwork at school, so need to get really Zen about patience and application. Happier fiddling with the electrics!

  1. Very useful link - many thanks for posting!
  2. Anyone have a good mp3 backing track of parisienne walkways? Cheers, Me Sorted now - thanks anyway!
  3. So you think the appearence of 5 individual coil cases is a cosmetic thingy? or do you mean each "single coil" is in fact akin to a stacked HB? Link to big pic of 513
  4. From what I've read on the 513, it's not quire that. It's 5 single coils, the outer 4 of which combine to make 2 humbers. Now, of these four, each must be tapped somewhere within the coil to produce the lower output necessary for the reduced output humbucker mode. It is very interesting...
  5. I played one some months ago and thought it sounded nice. Clearly had a meaty/bluesy tube tone to it. ← I've got the pedal board - the Valvetronix Tonelab SE. It's wonderful!
  6. My Latest recording, a rant about the way that we poor nicotine addicts are being treated in the UK, is on sale. Bit Ramones-ish maybe, who knows. The third track on the EP - "Cwm Curri" - was a hoot to do. It's about 20 of me performing in the style of a Welsh Male Voice Choir, singing the Welsh Hymn "Cwm Rhondda" with new words about eating Curry. The whole thing can be got from my website.
  7. PRS Dragon IIs. Love em to bits, and Mc'Carty's a close second.
  8. I heard a guy play one when I was on holiday, and it had a terrific range of sounds.
  9. It appears that way, but never having been to the US I don't know. They are going to ban it in public like (most places?) over there. Infact Ireland already has. ← It;s getting so faschist in the UK I wrote a song about it. Seems to me alcoholics are better tolerated here than nicotine addicts...
  10. Hi, Not called in for a while as I#ve been busy so happy new year everyone, and I really like the new look on the forum!
  11. I think so - as is the way with anything computer based, as time goes on , they get more powerful so you can pack more programming into it. I believe the xt has more voices, programmability and so on. I like mine for recording anyway.
  12. I voted playability but equally important is sound. However, like looks, most things ca b sorted f the instrument is relatively sound to start with.
  13. What's the other one? I've tele, strat and an LP with P90s that REALLY sing!
