Manoeuvrability. I don't have a signature tone per se but I like to think I do have a signature way of playing. Tone is easily shaped and enhanced if required but if the notes aren't there it won't work.

No- I try and avoid getting sentimentally attached to inanimate objects. I like them for what they allow me to do but there's no deeper connection, any more than I have a particularly spiritual connection to my kettle or my laptop.

Toss up between the Lakland Joe Osborne 5 (or whatever its called now) and a Sadowsky vintage style 5.

Looks fantastic! Does it have a stand or a spike or something similar?

Good stuff man! Liking the twin guitar work.

From eBay: "The positive Feedback percentage is calculated based on the total number of positive and negative Feedback ratings for transactions that ended in the last 12 months, excluding repeat Feedback from the same member for purchases done within the same calendar week." So they could have bought 26 items five years ago and not bought anything since: because there's no feedback in the last 12 months their feedback score is 0%.

Glad its going well- there's nothing like being thrown in at the deep end to make you get your proverbial sh*t together!

It might be, and you might be, but it comes across as pretty arrogant reading. "Good Gear and loads of experience" sounds so much better. Just my two pennorth about the Geordie mindset.

I started on double bass, then bass guitar and now play a bit of guitar also, albeit very poorly. I quite like the hybrid instruments- I like having the high notes on my ERB, and if I buy another guitar it will certainly be at least a 7 string, and more likely 8.

I clicked. Now I'm off for a cold shower.

Why is your headstock design so ugly?

Common knowledge. That's why they don't get any actual music to play

Elixir strings- at least five of them. Bonus points for a super stable neck.

Depends on the band, but I quite like doing the "sideman" thing. Less creative input means less overall responsibility IME. I can just turn up and play and not worry about the other stuff that goes with being in a band- its "their" band, so they can deal with irate promoters etc.

Mail order bride?

As long as you don't try and go too loud it'll be fine. All my 15" cab does these days is serve a a table for the rest of my hifi to sit on.

I got two copies in the post! Bizarre.

I see he now has a column in BGM as well.

I quite fancy a 5 string Jazz type, but with piezos only and a lovely top.

It sounds like a misunderstanding somewhere along the line to me. The distributor "quoted" in the TB thread was probably referring to the Corvettes we already know about.

Seems like third hand hearsay at the moment- I couldn't find any sign of it on the Warwick site.
