I'd get the repair dude to do it lespauls have a solid neck not like a fender which bolts on .I presume it's the head stockists snapped off .The repair guy will understand what needs to be done rather than trust it to your friend who although it an experienced wood worker isn't a luthier . Hope you get it sorted Russell.

Topic: G B Blues Band loses guitarist (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It is with much sadness that I write about the loss of my good friend and long time band mate Brian Viall .Brian lost the fight against cancer this morning .
Brian and I founded GB blues band around 14 years ago when we met in Crete. Brian always provided the pumping rhythms for GBs music ,though often in the back ground while i fronted the band it was Brian who kept the band grounded in the blues .
Today I have lost a great friend and musical soul mate .
Rock on Brian .

Arkady I thought you'd tell me you used audacity I some times use the same program I thought I could detect a slight latency in some of the mix. I find I have to 're position the starting point of each track to combat this .Good track though .I always enjoy your stuff.

Re: The Last Gig (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Sometimes it pays to check a place before you go there and find out if this is the right place for you.
A couple of months ago I played at what turned out to be the roughest bar in a town .I hadn't checked it out and was lucky to get out with my self and equipment intact.I got all the "play somthing we know" crap .Believe me it's not your fault if people are ignorant arseholes.
It's sad that this incident stopped you playing.I try to check a place now before I perform.
Get back on that horse and ride and as Kris Kristofferson says don't let the bastards get you down.

Re: TORTURED to be renamed WW7 (9 replies, posted in Poems)
Scott it's very powerful ,but I would perhaps say there's too many tortured references.Unless you are planning to have the tortured bits as a second voice in the background gradually building to a crescendo at the end. Then maybe leave them as is.

Topic: What do you take to a gig? (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
OK no smart arse replies on this I know I need my guitar.lol
What I wondered was when you do say an open Mic or solo gig what do you consider to be the essential items to take.
My list is as follows.
Guitars
Cables
Tuner
Capo
Slide
Music stand.
Songs
Battery
Strings
Picks
Microphone
I consider this to be my minimum amount of kit ,what about the rest of you
