I've just asked him a few questions... let's see how we go.

Thanks for all the input so far guys... I have a fuzz box at the moment, which is alright I guess. Still not quite it though. I'm thinking I'll play around with what I have, try and find a sound I like, maybe combine some pedals. I came across this site here which was useful. I think more...

Unfortunately I have no idea - it's an eBay thing, so I wouldn't know until I bought it. (Guy doesn't play guitar, has no amps or whatever to test it out...)

Hi folks, I'm looking for a distortion pedal to add to my board. I have a fuzz and a metal pedal, but neither give quite the sound I'm looking for. I'm looking for a pedal that'll add a little crunch to the tone, but maintain a fairly clean sound overall. The sort of thing you might hear from...

Hi all, Just looking to seek some advice here... I'm looking at buying an old Eko pedal (surprise!) that I've come across. Made in the 60's for their Minstral Organ, I'm thinking that there's no reason it shouldn't work for a guitar? Anyway, the point is, it doesn't work and the seller...

It wasn't until I came across the Fret boards that I'd even heard of JB, but he's rapidly becoming a favourite of mine.

My friend has a Takamine, can't remember the exact model but it's a great guitar. Fantastic sound. Only problem is a buzz created by a slightly loose fitting battery pack... Other than that though, list seems fairly reasonable. I'm actually glad to see Yamaha on there - not the most glamorous...

Best support acts I have seen were LightsAction supporting Saosin - in fact they were much better than Saosin live. Also Sion supporting Oceansize. Oceansize were much much better, but Sion were a good opening act. Oh, and definitely Men, Women and Children supporting Lost Prophets...

Just waiting on Conduit being delivered for the Wii... At the moment though, Fallout 3, Championship Manager 03/04.

Hi there, I'm looking to buy a replacement tailpiece for my semi acoustic Eko and wondered whether anyone had a Bigsby type tremolo they're looking to sell? Doesn't have to be a Bigsby, just that type of thing. Also must be the type with the hinge to attach to the bottom of the guitar. Like...

Hi all, I've just bought a few pick ups for some of my acoustic guitars that I don't want to drill into or change by adding built in pickups. So, I went onto good old eBay for a look, and picked up a couple of different ones. For my O hole Yamaha, I've picked up a slide in pickup, picks up...

The Eko Ranger 12 String is a belter of a guitar. I believe it was the top selling 12 string in its day - production at its highest point of 100 units per day back in the 70s. They've just recently started operating again and have released new models. The new models are about $200 I think -...

The Elliott Smith one there is a good shout Eric - love that guy!

Hmm... I think I'll be more trying to finish the various projects I have on the go before thinking about new gear - come the spring, I'll be hoping to finish the Firebird. Should any vintage Eko gear come along before then though... you never know...

Ah right. Makes sense. The glue is a carbon solution that sets conductive. Very cool.

Hey Mark, Thanks for the link, but it's not the same. The earth wire can't run to the bridge - the pickup is scratchplate mounted and has absolutely no contact with the guitar. It's a really weird setup. Anyway, I consulted a couple of guitar playing / electronic buddies tonight and I've...

Hi all, recently acquired an Eko guitar from 1963 with a similarly vintaged pickup on it. The tone pot was dead though, like completely cut off from all the wires... I've bought a new pot, but just don't know what to connect to what! Never seen a pickup like this one before. Had a look on...

I think Jim, that it would be no exaggeration to say that I'd be happy to pay for those tracks - Neelloc and Jerbif are both fantastic tracks. What a talent.

I have a DJ friend who used egg cartons... but I can't imagine that looks nice without some sort of covering over it... plus you'd have to eat a ton of eggs!
