I swapped it with my mate's Squier Stratocaster. A really nice set of strings don't cost that much to be honest, you can get a set of Rotosound ones for under £20, my last set of them lasted me about 7 months, and even then the sound wasn't getting muddy and the strings weren't wearing. I only changed them out of habit. I got some Rickenbacker ones off eBay for about £25, which are really nice strings with higher guages than my last set, so they produce a really nice deep bass sound. If anything, don't go for Ernie Ball's because they always seem to fray or snap really easily. I'd see how much value it has before selling it, it might just be worth keeping for a back-up bass. They're not that bad for the price (I think mine was £120 new) although the body feels like it's made of compressed sawdust. Mine lasted me about 3 1/2 years before I upgraded.

I was stood behind the sound man, trying to learn the tricks of the trade. Was a pretty good gig that.... Aha! Fear my bassage knowledge. :P My Peavey served me very well until I got my Rickenbacker, which I actually love as much as it's humanly possible to love a chunk of wood.

Correct me if I'm wrong Wes, but is that a Peavey Milestone III I see you playing? Um, I used to have that bass and I'm just wondering... I may as well post a pic whilst I'm here! From when my band played Manchester Academy 3 a couple of months ago (I'm on the right...): And one of me, um, holding a camera in a mirror!

I took this at the end of last year. Erm, yeah, I've got more crap since then...

This album leaked today.... I've 'obtained' it and I must confess, it's rather good stuff!

I'm currently loving the Theme Hospital music.... I'm so sad, I've even learned the bass to Night Shift (Midi)!!

Had it for a day now, everything's totally fine. Sorry to the people who are having problems!

I installed it last night without any problems. It restarted my iBook twice, but that was it. I know it only restarts the Intel macs once. But so far so good!

I only use it for my playing games (I have a booster aerial for my TV, but it's crap) and it suits me perfectly. Well, for a bedroom anyway, it's a bit too small for a main TV.

The 23" one is HD. It's the TV I use!

60GB 5G iPod with 5071 songs on it.

But aren't the games you mentioned compatible with it? I thought that as long as you had the data files for it, it'd work on any machine that ScummVM runs on.

I'm pretty sure this program should do the trick: http://www.scummvm.org/
