    Why is it that singers do not own any PA equipment?

    I don't buy that. You cater for your own instrument. Period.

    Elton John or Billy Joel (piano greats)

    Wasn't Fagan jazz trained, as opposed to Elton who was classically trained? Different but i love them both.

    Elton John or Billy Joel (piano greats)

    Live 17/11/70 is one of my go to albums for pure energy, musicality and stunning bass work. Elton all the way for me

    Why are amps still dinosaurs?

    I really hoped that Haas would kick on but it's really just making up the numbers right now. Let's see what happens when the 2022 cars get on track, Haas did say the stopped development for this year didn't they?

    Why are amps still dinosaurs?

    Agreed, I stopped gassing when I worked out my D800. My playing has enough shortcomings for me to blame anything on the amp.

    GAS will not kill this one

    It looks like a high school woodwork project. The seller must need the money for college.

    Need a pedal for playing with a pick !

    I play pick exclusively but use a Dunlop .60mm to control the honk. I don't use pedals at all but I do turn the tone knob down a bit.

    What's going on at my 5th fret?

    Action is good, lowish I guess. Should relief be concave or convex? QUOTE="kodiakblair, post: 25357497, member: 94708"]Check both neck relief and action. If strings travel too far when fretting, notes can go sharp.

    What's going on at my 5th fret?

    After not playing much for 15 months we've got a gig so I dragged out my gear, tuned up and set the intonation perfectly at the 12th fret. I found that I was out of tune - check tuning on open string, perfect - 12th fret, perfect. But at the 5th fret and below I was out by an eighth to a...

    Just found this Ibanez RG 650, should I buy?

    I don't know about the quarter pounder price, not my choice of fast food. But yes, the cost of living is high in Australia.

    The official Ibanez Blazer/Roadstar Club

    I have an excuse that I'm old and dyslexic. Funny story, I once transferred $16,500 to some stranger's bank account because I got the numbers jumbled. That was the company money and luckily I had a good bank manager who got it back. Then the other time I paid my $135 phone bill with a bank...
