    That silver finish is rather fetching with the roasted maple.

    Sadly, not the first (or even the second) time I’ve heard this.

    I dislike the majority of musicals with a passion. However, WSS is one of the very few exceptions. The recorded version with Kiri Te Kanawa and Jose Carreras is sublime (the documentary that went with it was great too). I’ve seen it at the theatre too, with a cast of no one famous, but those songs are so superb, it didn’t matter. America is always the highlight for me, fantastic melody and clever lyrics. Other musicals that get a pass are: Grease (saw this at the theatre and it was lot more risqué than the film); Sound of Music; the latest Star is Born (or is that just a film with songs?) and the one opera that doesn’t send me running from the room - Carmen.

    My JMJ slopes away on the E string but the D & G are pretty level. Whatever produces a fairly even output is the name of the game for me.

    Love the look of the DC in both the bass and guitar versions. Good enough for Jimmy Page, good enough for me (if I had one that is). Very cool stacked pots. Hardboard, that well documented tonew… er… composite.

    There is a local village called Grandtully. It is pronounced Grantly. Go figure.

    I understand that long time pick player and purveyor of very pleasing tone (IMO), Martin Turner, uses leather picks.

    Well, the shorty ‘Ray is pretty much a Sterling without the preamp. It has the series/single/parallel selector, small body and a 38mm nut with.

    Lightly damp micro fibre cloth, followed by a dry one is the safest route I’d have thought.

    You might as well start getting ready to buy one, just like Thanos, it is inevitable...

    A number of those ‘59 Les Pauls are refinished Gold Tops, still possibly a ‘59, just not an original ‘burst.

    Sooo jealous of Frank. Fantastic build skills on display from Jabba again.

    Bitten by the Mustang/short scale bug eh? It’s a slippery slope but a wonderfully comfortable one.

    With the likes of Gibson and Fender reissuing guitars and basses from ‘the golden era’ and people buying those in big numbers, the desire for the ‘real thing’ will always be there. Scarcity breeds value and desire it seems.

    That is the very man, also known as Mr Clock. I consider myself lucky to have played with him for so many years (he was also in Inside Information and Some Kinda Voodoo). In fact, he’s visiting me this coming weekend!

    I can’t remember many of them, including the one where we had a weekly residency at a variety of pubs for ages: Toad - First teenage band, dodgy covers and originals* Inside Information - Covers and originals featuring a very talented lady lead vocalist who also played flute (we did a really good cover of Free Man In Paris that featured this)* Crawdaddy - Rockabilly band, so much fun, who knew? Changed the way I played guitar* Steelhorse - Rock covers (no, really? ) Thin White Duke - Bowie tribute Some Kinda Voodoo - Blues band, pretty good IMO, videos from the Jagger Centre are out there on YT Road Dog Jackson - Typical pub covers band (Mustang Sally, Sweet Home Alabama, Get It On - check; groan) DiamondHearts - ‘80s covers, best band I’ve ever been in, only stopped due to Covid and house moves, much missed Heartfakers - Tom Petty tribute, still going without me (I moved house/location) * I played guitar in these bands

    Nail varnish has been my go to for repairs on a variety of items for ages, including basses/guitars.
