@Tom Haha. I'm actually glad you posted the wrong one first, that's a fucking Glenn Wylie Moonrock in the background. Not something you'll see in the wild very often.

Looks a beaut. I've huge soft spot for these and the Gretsch semi-hollows, really love the sound and feel of them but they're a bit of a headache to work on at the best of times and a lovecraftian nightmare to fix if someone else has already been in there and fucked about with the wiring. P90's should still be viable for high gain. Pickups aren't my forte but in most scenarios id have thought they could be made to do a job. Jason from Legendary Pickups might a good shout to talk to on that subject, he's a high-gain junkie and knows P90's inside out.

Probabaly the stupidest thing I've ever wasted on, but I finally got the Hypnotoad finished.

This is almost as insane as getting a dog for Christmas and hoping your kids wont notice until you've stopped it shitting on the carpet and announce "we got a puppy!" sometime around February.

Nice. I still need to get to grips with my looper, still really hit or miss if I get it in sync. I probabaly just need to practice with a metronome until it clicks (or just practice more in general). > sometimes I’ll make a loop with the regular pedals and if I’m playing lead I’ll put that over the top. Looking forward to actually recording with it too. Aye the Rangemaster should cut through any mix like cold nipples through glass. 32dB centered around the upper mids and top end right up to 10kHz is lunacy by today's standards. I love mines, only ever swap it off my board for downtuned sludgy doom stuff.

Caught a few minutes of it, was more than enough. Fiona Bruce pretending to play devil's advocate in a panel full of Tories just reaffirmed my idea of how far gone we are. Talk about limiting the spectrum of debate.

Strikes me as the next step in phasing out the notion of social housing. "Right to buy" all over again but this time everycunt is skint and there's barely any social housing left.

@Tom nice to see you're getting some use out of the treble boost! I wouldn't have associated it with Van Halen but it does have a some similarities with a slow phaser at the "peak" of it travel. Theres loads of Rory Gallagher footage that had folk speculating he must've be using a phaser but for my money its all Rangemaster (and maybe some badly wired cabs).

Ah you got me! Wish you'd just messaged me on pornhub though, I get you lot are fairly liberal but this feels a bit awkward now.

I'm fine with dives I think, I'm just a ham fisted dunce that leans too hard behind the saddle when I'm not actively palm-muting and pulls everything a bit sharp. I'm not even a big fan of Joe or his band, just the thought of an HH Tele with a Gibson bridge sometimes gives me a semi.

Tom playing a Floyd Rose is almost as amusing as that fella Ibanez that plays Jackson guitars. That Floyd would probabaly be wasted on me. I can't play any kind of floating bridge for shit, thankfully the Duplantier sig is a TOM bridge.

Looks awesome. Is it the San Dimas Pro-Mod range? I'm still lusting after the Joe Duplantier signature.

Probabaly hinges on a slight mistranslation of some study that claimed "British Vodka connoisseurs would rather kill and eat their own families than have to settle for Glens or anything bottled by Diageo".

My bad, forgot about Beardsley.

As far as free's go, nobody keen to get Milner back for a year? Not to play like, just to train with the wasters and divas that might appear and make sure they pull their weight.

Depends on the band really. AC/DC did alright with Brian Johnson and Guns N' Roses got at least one half-decent album when they replaced Axl with that bombscare Stone Temple Pilots wanker.

I've got no clue what the fuck this is all about but I saw "snakehips" and just knew this had to be derailed.

Awful loan move for all parties. You'se dodged a bullet there. To say he'll only be remembered up here for that penalty miss would be being kind. Cunt only managed about 6 starts since January. Could swear I remember you boldly declaring he'd be the best player in the SPL by a country mile. I'll give you benefit of the doubt and assume you got him confused with Calvin Ramsay (or even Calvin Bassey).

Top marks. Near choked on my pint.

In the wise words of Matt Pike in the shortest ever Rig Rundown "Heavy people play heavy instruments".

Aye good points Andrew. Once a manufacturer is able to make flamed maple necks on a larger scale it probabaly makes a lot of sense to just do all of them the same way. Anything that speeds up the process and improves the overall quality of the product is probably a desirable to manufactures even if it's expensive at first. More so if it looks cool.

Wild that they pulled that off last night with no strikers, all those early bookings and Aribo having to come off in the first half. Just seen that starting 11 last night cost them just £13.5m in transfer fees, £12m of that was just for Kent, Goldson and Barisic. Fair fucks indeed.

I thought this was a wind up, Is this a genuine attempt to suggest Pickford has been unfairly denied a blue badge?

Probabaly an urban legend but I'm sure I read somewhere that that's a genuine working speaker that cost a fortune and was designed and built specifically for the set and that one scene.
