A freind of mine spilled an entire beer in his laptop keyboard. He let it completely dry and turned it back on and it worked perfectly. It stunk like skunked beer when it heated up but it worked. I would just let all the tool and thing dry out naturally and see what works and doesn't. Just make sur...

.. of course, you need to check you haven't got any pooled water, e.g. if your preamp valves are in shrouds/sleeves the base could fill up....

i have had to chuck many items such as my beloved conn organ( the power tube box was FILLED with water and i sweat one of the tubes had water in it. DO NOT CHUCK! Leave to dry out. Encourage drying with gentle heat, e.g. fan heater if you like. Water doesn't hurt electrics as long as they are not p...

When I painted my Cyclone, I sprayed light coats each time (I think I did like like 6-7 coats) And I never got any lumps or orange peel. Spray lightly eventually it'll be all covered! Thanks for the suggestion. So you don't try to join all the dots on the first coat? dont get discouraged. If you ha...

If I do it it lighter I don't actually get 100% cover (second ...

...Windows Character Map, which I drag from Programs/Accessories/System to somewhere more useful, like the desktop. Nice. Is that new with vista? If I was on a regular keyboard I could type the codes in faster than copying it out of the program, at least the codes I already knew. This will be usefu...

that's the thing, i can't get it to focus, it's always blurry, then i zoom in and zoom out again and it's sharp for half a second and goes blurry again, i always turn the flash off btw, it's ugly. Obviously different software to my Canon, an old Ixus V3, while sharing the same annoying limitation o...

is it a fender? a squire? a diddlyphone? It's a "Texas". For £41.50 + £10 carriage I couldn't get a second-hand Squier over here. This is the same guy that sells a pack of 6 stratalikes for £180, as mentioned in another thread. I think I've settled on "Natural", assuming he h...

How do you do that "ae" thing?

It's a special talent.


Actually, Windows Character Map, which I drag from Programs/Accessories/System to somewhere more useful, like the desktop.

I see he's got the same cheap capo I bought for £7.50. It works well enough and you don't have to fiddle about with elastic straps or swinging arms.

It's already been longer than I expected.
My son's bass is pretty OK, though the bridge pickup is a little anæmic. I'm hoping this will be as good.

When I lived in the Dorms, I played a Fender M-80. It's a crappy amp, but loud as Fuck. They all hated me, but at the same time, wanted to be me. I may be the wrong person to ask. 8) When I lived in Uni accomodation we had a guy a couple of flats down who started campaigning for some committee usin...

I use a tripod (or table top) and the self timer. Turn the flash off....get it focussed, ignore the warning about shake, press the button and let it go.

All I really been into lately is the late 50's Gibson stuff. Futuras, Explorers, V's and the custom variations of them by makers like Ibanez, Hamer, Dean, Stevens... i always liked this stuff and used to mix it in there with the stuff this crowd appreciates more. I think most of the people here wou...

I had set the Marshall to 8ohm. He took the head and put it back on my marhsall cab and plugged into the 16ohm input! I, of course wasn't there but I figured it out later when I saw that the head had been moved and was on the 4x12 instead of where I'd left it on my 2x12!!! He told me they had like ...
