    A VERY SAD STORY-ALEMBIC CONTENT-QUESTION

    If it were me, I'd put it right..when you bought it you did so cos it was a thing of beauty (partly) - you stopped playing it cos it ceased to be - put it back into original condition and I bet you start playing it again..I bet all the good memories will come back and it could help with some...

    :scowl:Hi Todd... Thanks for this but I have managed to exchange cash for one of these fine ladies to come and live with me. She has to travel from the US to the UK to do so and I am eagerly awaiting her arrival. I've (think I've) attached her picture so you too can gaze wonderously at...

    SOLD LeCompte Headless Custom 6 string - FS

    Look at it this way...2 children will cost you £100,000+ each to get them to adolescence, through college/uni, then there's the cost of weddings, "dad, can I borrow..", car/ insurance/ tax, etc... then remember when you first had them..would you have sold them for a £1,000,000?? probably...

    Yet another blind slap test

    lots of consistency amongst the listeners!!(feel the irony?):spit: - i actually felt that basses "C" and "E" had the warmest sounds - more cappucini(y) - i'm sure, given a few hours with each, most people would find the sound that they wanted from each - send them round any time you like...:D

    I once saw two kids playing at a guitar fair (The Barbican i think) - Roland electric bass and drumkit - absolutely brilliant - mind you that was before the days of gaming systems - one of my golfing friends is excellent on "Tigers Woods" - on the course..not so much!

    The Universal Steinberger Question

    i had a fretless Hohner (what a gutless piece of ****, with a plastic fretboard) in the 80's which my friends referred to as "the cricket bat". I used to sit and play at my 3rd floor flat window - passing Police Officers would often give me funny looks as if it was a shotgun...
