am I the only one in the world who would keep it just as it is ? Jeff

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the Pink Fairies 'Piggies of Uranus' "O, we're the Piggies of Uranus, the greatest planet of all, We're big and smart and famous,... wealthy, witty and tall " it then starts getting really wierd...and you get the feeling that the singers don't know...

...you may also notice that I could never bring myself to get gold knobs for it....and never will ! Jeff

Can I join in at this point and say "snap".... My guitar is a '85 Floyd Rose Special... Red Sparkle... now the more observant among you may notice that the guitar has been modified quite a bit. I bought it as a second guitar (and got a good deal as there was an issue with the odd chip in the...

very kind Greg, I might take you up on that... the only problem is that anything over $40 gets taxed at about 20%...but I suppose that's not too bad when we are paying double the price over here ! Jeff

Thanks guys...I've just got some DR Zebra's to try ...will put them on tomorrow when I'm a) a little less tired a little more sober can't believe the prices that you guys pay for strings over there....my DR stings cost the best part of $15, and Ernie Ball Slinky's cost between $10 and $12...

Two gigs spring to mind...both at Hammersmith Odeon Ratt opening for Ozzy (85/86 ish)...front row ticket...wow Anthrax opening for Metallica in 1986.....a couple of weeks before before Cliff Burton was killed....The venue was completely trashed by the end of the night and the scenes were...

has anyone found a set of strings that are particularly suited to this guitar ? I usually use Ernie Balls.....which work fine for the electric side of things but not so good for the acoustic sounds ? any ideas ???? thanks as usual Jeff

Thanks guys...all much appreciated... and Vockins...yes I know I've asked the question before, but my guitar needs have changed since I got me a Duotone earlier in the year.... my mind is firmly set on a oldish Fender bass !! ....now if I can only work out how the subway works ???? cheers Jeff

can any HFCers recommend any second hand guitar shops in NYC? ...are there any areas that have a few shops together ?...and am I going to be ripped off ? thanks guys Jeff

was there a standard size fot the 'stadium' logo.... I presumed that both my Blitz and my Chapp (reverse headstock naturally) both had the Stadium logo, but on further inspection the logo on the Blitz is a little smaller...I was obviously very busy the day I discovered this !! Jeff

yeah..yeah ...yeah... Motorhead are the coolest band ever...and as for Lemmy...a truly great guy BUT.... lets return to the former Page 3 girl Samantha Fox, who did release a rock album as part of her plan to rule the world...I'm not saying it was bad...but anyone remember the album Don...

I'm sure they've made some good money... and I've heard that they've spent good money !!!!! I'm also sure this is a publicity stunt, but if it is true then it will be the end of the band...as The Darkness is essentially Justin and his brother... my own opinion is 'who gives a ....' there are...

having seen the picture, I just know that I'm going to have nightmares tonight...who would do such a thing to a helpless guitar. Jeff
