Was just talking about a double necked guitar/bass earlier....

Sweet Have fun!

Nice!!! And no headstock too!!!

You 70's throwback you!!!

Chunkie - get on with ya bathroom!

Bass on the top as well which suits me fine. The guitar bit has a trem which locks should I wish - ideal if a string breaks to ensure the rest stay in tune. Just like a hard tail.

The only thing I think I would add would be a bendwell like the Status Kingbass. Still, can't have it all :-)

I know 4 chords now, that's one more than Quo. . edit:- I strum an accoustic guitar and am presently trying to memorise the chords to No Woman No Cry, trouble is I've got a plaster on my right thumb and a cut behind my left index nail. You sometimes have to suffer for your art.

Now it may be true that many Quo songs are made up of a simple 3 chord change...but that doesnt stop them being great

Tonight I started to learn Metallica - Master of Puppets...now thats fast..! Got blisters on me fingers now

(no i cant actually play very well...i just try to every now and again to annoy my housemates!)

One of the members of Quo was in the papers 'cos he was suffering from RSi and had to cancel a show - he said himself that he'd have learn another cord so that he'd move his wrist a bit more!

DJ

Ha!

Is that the best you can manage?.........

Here's my 7string JP Musicman. Cost about the same as my MK deluxe kit Mind you, it is the best guitar I've ever played. It has a pearlescent paint job so it looks green from some angles and purple from others.

I think I'm a bit out of my league here in sheer shredmeisterlyness

I can fairly do a lazy Dave Gilmour riff though

Very nice guitar Benzine I just have a strat replica...how original ...

David

Imposters the whole lot of you:


Work in progress. I prefer to call it inspired by Brian May's one than a replica - put the two of them together and they look quite different in fact, and mine's got humbuckers.

Mark

Ahh but is it cunningly fashioned from an old fireplace? i guess you used the offcuts for the chair? and do you pluck it with an old threpanny bit ?
Party on dude.

Oh and Benzine, is that a chord from the key of P ?

Is that one from the Ikea range, I haven't seen that or the chair in the catalogue.

That's another project actually. Back when I was doing architecture in college we were looking at a furniture brochure and we came across one of these advertised for 700 Euros:


Needless to say I wasn't impressed, which is more than I could say for my collegues. I basically ended up making it to prove a point.

Mark

Its just missing a few leather straps and a 3 pin plug

I made this a couple of years ago. It is mostly a copy of a PRS, though modified a bit.

I'll be happy if mine looks half as good as that.

Mark

So many guitar playing, guitar building, car builders...what a multi-talented lot you are...looks like I'm in good company. Keep on rockin'/building/whatever!

Hi Chaps

Whilst on the subject of guitars, anyone know why Gibson bought Trace Elliot and now seem to have stopped production?

I have a Trace Super Tramp combo which is stunning!!!

Ahhh, maybe Gibson where worried about their own amps.

Cheers
