The Birthday Party, with significant waffle factor for producing an archetype that Melbourne bands have been copying for almost thirty years.

No one in Melbourne is brave/foolish enough to form a Bauhaus tribute band.

Thanks, Stephen Anderson and Big John.

I was using BASF 911, so I guess I'll have to be on the lookout for some lubricated tape stock.

Perhaps it is easier to purchase the Dunlap carts.

I don't actually own the Echoplex. A friend bought it and had me service it. Among other things, the existing tape loop was twisted, so I needed to replace it.

How often I will need to replace the loop on his machine, I'm not sure. He does have a habit of destroying gear.

If the truss rod has split the neck, it may not be possible to reconstruct it well enough.

It might be worth asking Tim at Lovell's. I'd recommend him for any luthier work, whatsoever. Should he deem it beyond his power to reconstruct it, he will probably know someone who will be able to.

Certainly not in the top 1000 scientists of the 20th century. Probably not in the top 10000.

Failed to find a successful migraine treatment.

I've pulled a few dick moves, but there's one whose memory makes me cringe every time. When I was 11, our teacher had it in for me. He would take every opportunity to ridicule me in front of the class. Despite my best efforts, he would continually give me poor marks in any subject except for Maths, ...

May I ask from where?

I'd mudwrestle my grandma for an aluminium Jazzy.

Do any of you lateral thinkers have any suggestions on how to easily reload the tape loop cartridge for a Maestro Echoplex? The method I have used (successfully) has been simply to remove the cover of the cartridge, remove the old loop and then manually wind on a new length of 1/4" tape. I've f...
