Shellac's Riding bikes and Tone Loc's Funky cold medina.Edit - holy shit, I just realised I joined this forum ten years ago today. Special.Edit edit - eleven years, my dumb is strong.

Pardon a relative noob butting in here, but I've been doing some listening around for a good turntable myself, and the Goldring GR1.2 sounds brilliant for the price to my ear. It's in essence a Rega clone, or a rebranded Rega, from what I understand, but it already comes with a decent enough MM cart...

I had some non-memorably-branded Japanese thinline archtop acoustic bass guitar, mid-late sixties I'd guess - it looked like an acoustic bass guitar version of an ES335 - it was black, with white binding.

Also, a few years ago I'd undertaken to record some music for a short animated film, and I was stuck for exactly what to do for a week or two, I wasn't overly enthused over anything I wrote. At t...

That jogged my memory - there's a luthier over in my part of the world that has a copper-bodied dreadnaught-size archtop sitting in a shop window here in Wellington for $5K. Lawyer-dollar unicorn pussy, but interesting nonetheless. I've got some pics of it at home I'll post later if anyone's interes...

Quality input - not removing the fretboard at all does make much more sense. Appreciated!
