  1. Real sorry to hear that Emma. I remember reading your review for the YBR. I too am a YBR rider and to some folks they may be just little tiddlers but to me it is great as it is my first bike and I love it. I hope everything works out for you in a positive way.
  2. An honest mistake and no big deal. I have many transexual and trannie friends and we are all cool with whatever... it is only the narrow minded bigoted dickheads who we don't particularly like, but they tend to be in the minority and as long as they don't physically assault us then they are safe from having their limbs broken. Don't worry about it mate, it is fine
  3. Acoustics are much more than just for chordy stuff matey! I do a lot of fingerpicking on steel string acoustic, all kinds of stuff from classical, blues, jazz etc through to Celtic stuff. That is why guitars are amazing, the versatility of them. By the way, that telecaster you posted a link to is a lovely colour! I love telecasters. They are like a blank canvas and they feel so comfy. Mine is a standard blonde one with the black pickguard. Oh I shouldn't start talking about guitars or I won't shut up!
  4. Asbo, how is the neck on the SG? I bought one new a few years ago but sent it back as the neck was seriously bendy. The slightest pressure and it change pitch drastically . I heard a lot of similar tales from Epiphone SG and ES335 owners. Maybe it was just a batch from that period which were dodgy. How is yours? It's not too bad. I know what you mean though it didn't take much to shift the pitch. I struggled with the heavy head. Neck drop. But Velcro inside the strap to grip my t shirt sorted that though. It has some serious tones. My mate has the gibson and there's not a lot in it. Certainly not enough to warrant to extra cash. What do you have now? I tend to play acoustic mainly these days, have a couple of nice Yamaha acoustics, but I still have a Fender Tele and a Squier Jazzmaster and a 1990s Danelectro U2 and a lovely Ibanez copy of a Gretsch style semi. My brother has an older Epiphone SG and it is fine, no neck trouble but it is a much older one than mine was and you're right, they sound damn good!
  5. Thanks mate. At the moment my main guitars are a PRS Santana and a Epiphone SG. My main amp is a Marshall JCM900 through a 2x12 cab. I've also got a hughes and K ettner for smaller gigs. How long you been playing? Asbo, how is the neck on the SG? I bought one new a few years ago but sent it back as the neck was seriously bendy. The slightest pressure and it change pitch drastically . I heard a lot of similar tales from Epiphone SG and ES335 owners. Maybe it was just a batch from that period which were dodgy. How is yours?
  6. I am yet to find a decent bulb for my YBR. It is ridiculous that my bicycle light is miles brighter than the YBR headlamp. If you find a better replacement I'd love to know!
  7. Good to see some fellow musicians on here. I play guitar mainly and also fiddle. I prefer jamming and recording with friends these days. I can't be bothered with being in a proper band anymore. Or maybe I'm just too tired and cynical with old age
  8. Great stuff. Thanks for the info and glad you are back on the road
  9. Forgive my ignorance of techy stuff but what does a helmet with Bluetooth actually do? I keep seeing it on helmet adverts but I don't get what it does.
  10. Good point. I hadn't thought of that but he has changed just about everything it could be so a bad earth is probably the only remaining problem. I had a car like that once, which fired when cold but wouldn't start if the engine was hot. It turned out to be very slight corrosion between the terminal on the starter motor earth strap, and the car body. The terminal and earth lead looked fine but underneath the terminal it was really bad and caused a high resistance when the engine was warm, just enough to stop it starting. So easy to miss.
  11. I'd love to know what the problem was once you get it sorted, in case I get similar trouble with my YBR.
  12. Have you checked the HT coil?
  13. Currently listening to the awesome Mendelssohn violin concerto in E Minor. Blows my mind every time. Well heavy man.
  14. Crikey I remember betamax. My uncle Henry used to get betamax films off the ice cream man who came round in his van. Henry said not to tell my mam about them. I think he referred to them as "blueys". Oh the good old days...
