Re: Eros guitars (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
This has a bolt on neck similar to my ranger 6 the action is as low as you would ever want . single truss rod . The body is a traditional shape not a jumbo .I suspect the neck ,sides and back are mahogany and a spruce top as it is similar in weight to the ranger. I'll sort a pic asap

Turkish raki is a different drink to Cretan raki Phill ,Cretan Raki is distilled from grape skins where as Turkish raki is more like Greek ouzo or French pernod ,an aniseed flavoured spirit ,Italian grappa is close to Cretan raki .True Cretan raki is only made on the island its other name is Tsikoudia . Ive only seen it sold commercially in Greece under the trade name Haraki .We used to get it by the gallon from the local distiller .

Re: Tele neck Strat body (25 replies, posted in Electric)
Had stays and blood tests yesterday Phill so maybe they will come up with a solution ,meantime the whisky option seems a good idea .In Crete we used to do raki ,honey and lemon with cinnamon which was really good but I can't get the raki in the UK ,perhaps I should make a still and start brewing.

OK let's hear your views .
Here's mine ,I don't like tribute acts ,I would much rather hear some one put there own style onto a cover, be it good or bad make it your own . My bass player of any years ago would say Graham ,James Brown doesn't sing it like that.My reply was I'm not #%&πin James Brown.Needless to say we soon parted company .

It's like the slot is machined about 4mm too high .When I put the start neck back in it lines up perfectly I found a vid on YouTube showing a similar problem.I might check one of my other Strats t o see if it's the same

Re: Tele neck Strat body (25 replies, posted in Electric)
Update on this project.For some reason the alignment of the strings is wrong the top E ends up at the edge of the fret board and the not on E is about 4 mm in.,back to the drawing board for now .

Re: Software for backup at performances (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I sometimes use digital trio live but sometimes it can be a problem with getting the rythm right first shot ,so generally I pre record the tracks onto a loop and play them back,how ever if you are inputting into a pa it doesn't allow the sound guy much leeway to equal the drum and bass so you might have problems .So I am some times a bit reluctant to go down this route.Don't shy away from it though as it can sound great inthe right situation.For small venues or street use when I have full control of the pa I input the trio into one channel guitar into another and vocal into a third.

Topic: Tele neck Strat body (25 replies, posted in Electric)
Just started building a new guitar ,Strat body Tele neck.I've wanted to do this for a while as I love the feel of my Tele neck .Got all the bits now so I'll see how it goes together.First thing is the Tele neck has a flat squared off end as opposed to the curved end of the Strat ,so I will reshape the Tele to match the Strat profile and make sure it sits properly in the body.The thickness where it fits into the body seem to be the same so as long as I get it positioned right I don't see any major problems.I'll let you know how it progresses.

Re: Trio question (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have done this Russell but like I said I've been experimenting with the trio to see if I can get away with using it live.However the Latino and reggae rhythms are a little problem at present,so for the foreseeable future I'll probably stick with my loop for this genre

Re: Trio question (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Not a great success Russell so far .However I included a version in the set I did today for a fund raiser for the local Air ambulance.I played it with a rock rhythm and used my imagination a bit. Went down really well .Different and not the way we used to do it with GB Blues in Greece,but still fun.
