    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Fender Pro II Bass

    I cannot really justify buying another guitar at the moment and already have a great bass but have often thought about getting a five-string and having heard the sound of the latest Fender Jazz am thinking a lot more about it. Probably best to listen through headphones or with decent...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST A top three

    Still on my summer walk about but thought I would drop by with a bit of music, my top three songs with slightly less than normal titles. 1. Whoopy Snorp by the Residents. 2. (I want to be an) Anglepoise Lamp by the Soft Boys. 3. Kowalski of the Seaview has got the best hairstyle I've ever seen...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Screamadelica

    To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this Primal Scream album, Fender are producing a special Strat: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/191119351275008--fender-custom-shop-30th-anniversary-screamadelica-stratocaster Am rather glad they are not among my favourite bands or could have been...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Vox

    It is a pity they are no longer made in the UK but Vox are still producing some great amps and with valves in, I think one of these will be on its way to me in the near future: https://voxamps.com/en-gb/product/ac30-custom-head/ Not long got a bass amp but thought this would go well with it and...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ubuntu Studio

    This is very old news but just in case there are others like me who missed it, it is quite useful. If you want a low latency distro but do not want the standard Studio desk top it is possible to add Studio to any of the official Unbutu flavours with this command line: sudo apt install...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST What is your favourite pedal?

    Please note, this is a thread for guitarists, not cyclists :) There have been a lot of good pedals over the years and some pretty dire ones as well. Not sure how good this is going to be, although some of the demo sounds from it were very interesting and as someone who likes SciFi and music...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Hello again

    Not a new member by any means but as am on my Spring/Summer walkabout and not posted for a couple of months thought I would say hello again. Hope everyone is doing well and Hi to all the new members I have missed while away, not even looked at the site for a month.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST My new toy

    Not much room for an amplifier when you are on your travels and have found this thing really good: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/14090411521832--vox-ap2-ac-amplug-2-ac30 Sound quality was better than expected and gives me the chance to practise anywhere without disturbing people.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Counting the days

    Less than a month now until some places can re-open. Have booked a nice out of the way countryside site with caravans to rent. Anyone else got plans for a post lock down getaway?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Bookshop

    Was interested and pleased to see this site start up and also the success it has had so far. https://uk.bookshop.org/ It is good to see local/small bookshops getting some support at this time.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ryzen OC

    Am curious, have read here that it is not worth a Ryzen OC for gaming but is it worth it in other areas? Have no intention of getting a new rig at moment, cannot justify it, even if prices and world situation was not crazy. Just wondered whether for video, photo, audio or work like that an OC...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST T20

    Great win for the Kiwis over Aussie just now. Seemed quite strange to see a ground full of spectators at the moment. Pleased for NZ, especially on the anniversary of the Christchurch earthquake.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST I love Intel

    OK, so the title of this thread is a bit of a lie but as I have been dissing Intel so much on here lately thought it only decent to highlight one of the great positives of their CPUs. I got my last desktop a year or so before AMD re-entered the land of the living so obviously went with Intel...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Extra fans

    Have seen a few posts asking about extra fans and thought of this. When ordered could they be dispatched immediately, before the build has even started. For people as impatient as I am they would help us to keep cool while stomping up and down waiting for the order :)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Tea

    Anyone else into different varieties of tea, found this place ages ago, a bit pricey but about six times a year they do 20% off everything: https://www.tealyra.co.uk Find tea quite fascinating as there is basically only one type of plant and flavour difference is down to where it was grown...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 'nix games

    OK, I realise me advising on gaming is almost as sensible as trying to teach Donald Trump to tell the truth but this site did seem interesting: https://www.fossmint.com/best-linux-games/
