I have an incoming Bongo. But then I noticed that there are some limited edition Bongos with all rosewood necks. Lush.

And a go faster stripe all the way around it. Quality.

She is the bomb. That album is the bomb.

Does anyone have a clue why paypal would, on two different computers, log me into Paypal Netherlands? Thanks

Every time Pino is mentioned I feel the need to tell of the time he was playing on the Welsh language scene. He recorded quite a lot. I put up www.myspace/pinopalladino to showcase some of it. I am aware that I am something of a cracked record about this but there are very few genuine solos from him out there.

Stellar.

I guess that the good bit for overdrive would be that the EQ is programmable and has moveable EQ points. I really cannot remember much more about the unit as far as overdrive goes. It has 1 if not 2 programmable FX loops but they were pretty noisy on mine. Not much info, but as much as I can usefully give. I can only imagine that they would be dirt cheao by now.

The website say they are available with round core. I am tempted.

Why didn't I spend £15 on a guitar stand'! [/quote] Been there and thought that. It was an easy enough repair, but made resale a real pain.

I am so fickle. Nothing else quite makes a noise like it. However you are welcome to come and try it.

I use Jazz rounds. They are THE BOMB. For me. YMMV.

I used to use an ADA. I never really used the distortion stuff. I sold it way too cheap. I would take it back now. If you have any questions which I have not already proved that I cannot answer, fire away

That's bonkers. No, really.

The Marcus Miller comment was interesting and crystalises why the top players always work and get paid top dollar. I have been around people (John Parricelli - guitarist, being the best) who can sight read the most obscene fly s***t on paper and make it sound like they have been honing that piece for years. It was a humbling experience. My reading is good, but I realised that I was in the presence of real quality. Interstingly, the better the player the less you are aware of it until they actually play.
