Not a very old one, but resonates recently: Possibility Days by Counting Crows. Very emotional stuff. (A lot of Adam's lyrics hit those spots for me actually.)

+1 for Timbo. He has awesome tone and feel. Just listening to The Long Run album and he just oozes awesomeness with perfect note placement and the odd half-fill under the geetars.

I have a Peavey Millennium passive - J type; really good range of noises, lovely neck. Only pain is neck dive from the pointy head.

Well - digressing to Sticks: they are lovely - and tone is what you make of it, and what effects you whack on it. Check out anything by Tony Levin, or Warr guitarists like Trey Gunn.

Oh - you should hear me despoil any of 50 Geddy Lee or Dave Ellefson riffs in Bass Shops. Don't worry what people might think - it has to be better than a lot of the slapityslapityslap you hear.

If the 4 sells well I'm sure the 5 will follow.

Nice...

Yeah - with Malcolm out of action permanently, the previous drummer (long-serving) fired, and now this - there's not much left! Angus will probably keep going 'til that SG falls apart..

It looks nice - and yeah, some bits will change after feedback from the show and fans etc. Sure -terrible access to top frets -but it wouldn't be a proper take if you could noodle up to 24 with ease. If it does get the combustion pricing it well sell like hotcakes.

You can get them fretless - Steven Gibson got a 6 string unlined fretless - he is mad though. I also think it's still the case that even though the licence expired, Dingwall still pay Novax (or his estate) a fee for each instrument. Correct me if I'm manufacturing randomness. Yes - eagerly awaiting the Dingbird. They need to do a Ding-Bongo (which is a bit like a drink we used to have as kids), and then maybe a Dingberger (headless, tiny body), heck, perhaps even a Ding Paul SG-shape.

You can play chords on them, You're just not trying hard enough!

Foo Fighters - In Your Honour. Works for me. As does Topographic Oceans, and largely, Physical Graffiti.

Victory by Megadeth references about half of their previous song titles...

Holy contrabass noodlings, Batman. That is cheap. Almost worth getting to see if you like 6-strings. Even if you lose a chunk reselling it's a fairly good value experiment. The deluxe is about twice the price, still good value, looks really nice too.

I have been waiting for it since they announced it well over a year ago. I'm not paying £250 for it though - it can wait a bit longer...

Wa-gon Wheel-y have to try harder to beat the last few...

Am all out of Fig (rolls) for this now. I have a THR for my guitar and it's very nice, lots of features, good sound, light etc. Like the B Social it isn't to replicate your gig rig (although I don't have one, so it is actually my main guitar amp..) So I can see that any limitations it might have need to be taken with that in mind. But £600?! I paid £219 for my THR, and I could see the B Social justifying more because it has a few extra bits like wireless playback etc, but £600?! I presume it makes toast too for this price?

3mm on my Peavey - I have had to put relief back into the neck because there's some definite uneven frets going on around 3-6 and it just chokes even with the bridge saddles at full height. Now I have the saddles in the middle of their range, and only a touch of buzz when I play. It does depend how you learned to play: I couldn't use my amp at any sort of volume for years as it would annoy flatmates etc. so I really dig in to make myself heard. If I had the action down at 2mm It'd be buzz city. I do like the clank though.
