Sorry but the picture uploader says the file is too big, so at the moment you will have to wait. I am not into computers so any tips would be grately appreciated.

Hi Lee.
I am definitely no expert but.. I had the same problem. You have to isolate the picture away from the file and send it individually. I send mine as a photo, otherwise 'it' thinks you're trying to download the whole file. I take the picture with my tablet and send from the tablet. If you're doing it from a computer I'm clueless, I'm not allowed anywhere near ours!
Best wishes to you all, John

You have to reduce the size of the photo. You can do it easily by just making it 800 (or less) pixels wide, then you don't have to worry about megabytes and other technical stuff. Most images at 500 to 800 pixels wide will easily fit in the "less than 2MB' file size that I have set and will be large enough to view in detail.
I don't use a Windows machine so I cannot explain exactly how to do it, but all you do is open the photo in whatever software you use, and in the EDIT or TOOLS column click on ADJUST FILE SIZE, or ADJUST IMAGE SIZE, something like that. Save it to the desktop or My Documents, or whatever it's called, and then click ADD ATTACHMENT on the forum in the top right hand side of the message window, or box, or whatever it's called. This and many other forum functions will not work in "QUICK REPLY" .....I never use the quick reply option/window, because it is so limited with what you can do.
I hope that is helpful
Shine On
Michael

Lee Simplest solution Lee,if you're not too computer literate would be to email the pics to yourself and your email programme should automatically reduce the file size. Then save them to your desktop. Graeme STOP PRESS: I was composing this post while you were posting Michael so not trying to override your advice! |

Yeah ~ if you can isolate your ears from the 'amp battles' on the lecky stands it was actually a great show! Good to catch up with some of the crew (Stevie; Lucy; Dave K; Lee; Geoff & CBJ) and both David and D.B's enjoyed the show. Lee's new guitar is a Holy Grail (everyone who saw it just muttered "Jesus Christ!!") ~ a real beaut! T.T.....Snakey booked a day's holiday...  Ian. |

The guitar is in astonishingly good condition for its age, all I could see when I handled it was a bit of lacquer checking and shrinkage on the bindings. It goes to show that there are still bargains to be had...but you'll not get deals like this on eBay, you have to be there on the day.

Thanks, ChickenboneJohn also had a great stand at the show, his guitars put out a belter of a sound even through a micro cube and a cab???
I will eventually have a go at making one and learnt something yesterday with regard to preferred pickup placement to get that gutbucket sound.

I was using a Sessionette 75 combo..the Microcube was just tucked under the chair as a backup - it goes everywhere with me.

Very nice. You can get quite a different tonal rangr by tweaking the 3 knobs. I cant see the top of the headstock, but wondering if your metal Electar badge says Epiphone at the top. Originally they did not wish to attache the Epiphone name to such a contraption...

I have done what research I can following my impulse purchase as I sort of knew what it was and it was coming home regardless. Three control knobs in 37 and the headstock changes in 38, also the serial number at 11 hundred or so plants it in 37. Here is the headstock logo complete with Epiphone moniker Attachment Deleted |

Phil is very entertaining. The guitar is pretty amazing. I wonder what the price tag says...
