Hi all I'm a new member here so bare with me a bit! I have found a solid body that is 1.8kg and looks for all the world to be a LH Ibanez by the shape of the neck connection. It has a couple of studs that look like they were part of a trem support and they are 63mm apart which is a bit narrow when compared to the Floyde Rose at 74mm. Someone has suggested it may be a Vantage Avenger but I'm not convinced. I'm keen to find a trem to fit if I can find out what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance. Steve

Normally it's us who are supposed to be the entertainment but sometimes that gets reversed. I remember one gig my band did at the King's Head in Crouch End where the audience took over singing and we backed them instead.

In my "other" band (ie. The g*th one, not the Britpop one) we once played a club night at Skin Two - now that was an interesting audience!

Try to not let it be exposed to extremes in temperature and humidity.

Easier for a band than a stand-up comic.... Not my gig, but this is too good not to recall.... I remember being in the Camden Falcon back in 1999, when that was the base of the Barfly Club (before it moved to the Monarch on the main drag, but I digress...). The much-missed Angelica were on stage, and as they often did, the girls invited the audience to 'heckle us - give us your best insult!'. Somebody in the middle of the crowd yelled out "You were clearly influenced by the Stereophonics!" Used to have some pretty bizarre audiences back in thed dayswhen I MC'ed a Rocky Horror crowd, but that's probably another story, not on a par with those of you who've done legit gigs!

I played at a Viking Festival in the middle of last year. I knew mine was going to be the first set on the weekend's music programme; what I didn't realise was that it was also the beginning to pretty much the entire event. So I played a set to a group of people dressed up in Norse togs, carrying drinking hons and replica battleaxes, who didn't yet have enough alcohol inside them to get properly rowdy. The most sedate bunch of Vikings I've ever seen, but a very friendly bunch.

Having just had a particularly torturous time restringing my LTD M403, I've come to the conclusion that there is a special place in Hell reserved for whoever invented the reverse headstock.

I don't.
